* The opening scene shows Ivan sleeping on a pile of straw in Tevoran's hideout. The implication was clearly that they're too poor to even afford a decent bed for him, but later on [[spoiler: during a fight in Tevoran's hideout in Chapter 3 we very clearly see that there were plenty of beds upstairs.]] So what was Ivan doing sleeping on a pile of straw? Do they really despise him that much?

* The flavor text during the battle in the brothel lobby says, "Seems business isn't doing too good here." But...the place is literally [[spoiler: piled high with the fresh corpses of it's "clients". How can business ''not'' be doing good?]]

* What's going on with Vadim? This one will probably be answered in the next Chapter, but suffice to say, in the Epilogue of Chapter 3 [[spoiler: he's seen walking around inside some kind of massive stomach (implied to be Aizu's), clothed and fully sentient]]. What's happening or where he is anyone's guess.
** Interesting fact: [[spoiler:during the MushroomSamba segment in Episode 12, everyone hallucinates Vadim... including Martin. ''Martin never met Vadim.'']]

* At the end of Chapter 3 [[spoiler: King Oskar is dead, Rudolf's dead, Duriken's fled the scene, Vera has gone missing, and Martin leaves Vorona to go searching for her. So who's running Vorona? Who did Martin leave as his regent?]]

* The fact that he uses mooks makes it all more puzzling why [[spoiler: he ''didn't'' bring any outside help in for the final battle in Chapter 3. Clearly he thought Aizu was going to be enough to take care of Tevoran & Company, but why wouldn't he cover all his bases if he was wounded and severely outnumbered? Whatever his motives, it was clearly a tactical blunder: most of the players who got this far wiped the floor with him.]]

** Some fans postulate that [[spoiler: the crater Aizu is overlooking at the end of Chapter 1 is the remnants of Setora. Aizu blew the entire village up with her self destruct.]]

* The battle at the tunnel pit with the Subhuman miners in Episode 14 raises some interesting questions. First, what happened to [[spoiler:Vadim]]'s corpse, and second, how did Aizu's arm end up in the cavern?
** Given Aizu's displayed propensity towards cannibalism, it's possible she may have eaten poor [[spoiler:Vadim]]. [[spoiler:He finds a dismembered ear wherever he ended up at the end of Episode 14, and Aizu clearly bites off Bernard's ear in Episode 4.]]

** Some of the supplementary material explains this a little better. Milan and Tomasz had a Bronoi mother and a Khendai father, but Tomasz, being sticken with wanderlust as a young man, moved to Phoria and married a Phorian woman. So technically, Ivan is only half Phorian, making it all the more ironic that Ysabel and Tevoran call him "the Foreigner."

* During the interval in Zofia's elevator, she mentions that she's going to have to use "that" [[note]] Meaning the self destruct mechanism to blow up her house [[/note]]. Tevoran misunderstands this and freaks out, saying that she's 100 years too early to try something like "that". Most likely this was an innuendo or another case of Tevoran [[IThoughtItMeant thinking something was an innuendo when it wasn't]]. But that aside...what ''did'' Tevoran think Zofia was about to do?

* The fact that Vadim was somehow able to keep his knives when being thrown into prison in Episode 5 was hand-waved as a [[RefugeInAudacity refuge in audacity]] moment and "because the plot demands it". But it isn't just him. ALL of the thugs you release from their cells walk out fully armed. Did the guards only decide to search Tevoran and Ivan? It makes no sense.

** Also the lampshaded question from Zofia of how the miners got the cart over their gaping pit in the first place, but that's quickly hand waved aside in favor of more important concerned.

* In Chapter 3 we meet up with and trade with the merchant again. Except...there's a better than average chance that [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential the player ''robbed'' him of his loot in the last chapter]]. So why does he still agree to trade with us? Did he not put 2 and 2 together and realize who stole his stuff?

* Why does Aizu instinctively know to avert the Cloaked Woman? She goes into defense mode the moment Fallon appears, but claims to never even have heard of Duriken [[note]] Granted, he's using a pseudonym, but even when he appears to her in the flesh, she seems unafraid of him even when he appears to her in the flesh.[[/note]] Combined with the fact that Fallon claims she "owns" Aizu...what sort of sordid past did these two have?

* What's beneath the hood? It's almost certainly not human, whatever it is, but how bad can it actually be to require such concealment.

** For that matter, why is Fallon constantly harassing Duriken when [[BulyingADragon he's so much stronger than her?]]

** The third time you fight him, he's traded it out for an artifact called "The Tyrant's Cape", whose main purpose is to cancel out the curse effect of his even ''more'' powerful suit of armor, "The Blackened Plate". ...So why didn't he just bring these this gear to the fight in the first place?

* How exactly did Aizu make it from the dungeons of Vorona to Tierva while she was reforming? It's implied that she might have been somehow been following them, but what drove her to Jedmesz's slaughterhouse, and how did she get in? It seems like she warped there out of thin air.

* Why does Vera believe Aizu is a blue fairy? She clearly has a sort of obsession with the girl, but why did she intrinsically gravitate towards her? She may have been wrong about the precise nature of her identity, but she's not wrong in believing Aizu to be extremely special and important. Does she have some kind of sixth sense to recognize these things? Does it play in to her ability to use magic?

** Given Aizu's displayed propensity towards cannibalism, it's possible she may have eaten poor [[spoiler:Vadim]]. [[spoiler:He finds a dismembered ear wherever he ended up at the end of Episode 14, and Aizu clearly bites off Bernard's ear in Episode 4.]]

* Tevoran implies in Chapter that Milan is biracial representing both halves of the city, meaning that he's half Bronoi and half Tiendai. But his brother, Tomasz, and his nephew, Ivan, are both Phorian. How does that work out?
