* UnseenNoMore: Downplayed with Colonel Prieto's wife, Merche. Prieto mentions her a couple times in Season 1, but it's not until the Season 3 premiere, "We're Back", that she first appears onscreen in a [[TheCameo brief cameo]]. She doesn't appear again after Season 3, being last mentioned by Tamayo in "Everything Seemed Insignificant" (which is when her name is first said) and only making a second onscreen cameo at the beginning of "A Quick Vacation".

** [[spoiler:Cornered by Gandia and the special forces, Tokyo detonates her grenades, not only killing herself but Gandia and several others with her as well.]]

** In "48 Meters Underground":
*** In the first flashback of the heist team casually chatting on a dining table with their new members as they did before, Bogota is seen wearing a T-shirt of Music/{{Slayer}}.
*** During the flashback of Berlin explaining the safest and most effective way to break into that Bogota and Nairobi use in the present at the same time, he asks the Professor if Franchise/JamesBond could do such a thing to give him an idea of the procedure, which the Professor quickly denies.

** In a flashback from Episode 2 of Season 2, wherein the Professor and Rio are looking through the deep web for weapons to purchase for the heist, Rio points out an APC for sale and makes a joke about buying it and using it to ram through the Mint's front door like ''Series/TheATeam''.
** In another flashback from the same episode, Tokyo attempts a ''Franchise/JurassicPark'' impression when she finds the Professor's origami figures.

** For the second heist, Plan Chernobyl is retooled into a distraction that the robbers use to get into the Bank of Spain, only involving a blimp that drops money instead of balloons. Tokyo explains this in her narration at the beginning of "Aikido", during which the plan is happening.

* ThePlan: Of course, the two heists are complex plans where pretty much every eventuality is considered and planned for. The robbers also have a number of smaller plans to activate at certain points, many of which have a MeaningfulName. For the first heist, they have the following:
** Plan Valencia: make a lot of noise by shooting at paper rolls while the hostages are encouraged to scream. This is used so the police will demand proof of life of all the hostages, and when they notice some of the images may have been faked force them to send someone to personally check on everyone, which allows the heist team to print even more money.
** Plan Chernobyl: the go-to plan if they pass the GodzillaThreshold. Tie all the money they have printed to balloons, throw them out and then blow the balloons, using the confusion as people attempt to take the money to escape.
** Plan Cameroon: named after a conversation on how people will (nearly) always support the underdog (comparing their situation with a Brazil-Cameroon soccer game), they invite a journalist for an interview where they make things look like they're a lot worse than they really are and free a group of hostages, gaining a lot of sympathy -- particularly after the press finds out that the police framed Berlin for a lot of crimes he did not commit. It's also how the Professor wins Raquel's trust and prompts her to ally with the robbers, framing himself as the underdog going against the legal cash-printing of the big government agents.

** Also between the two heists, Arturo becomes a well-known public figure and motivational speaker with legions of fans who believe him to be a courageous hero, and comprise the only concrete group of civilians who oppose the robbers. While he makes some good points during one of his speechs (e.g. the heist crew shouldn't be considered heroes at all), Arturo himself is far from a hero, and the following events after he deliberately gets himself inside the Bank reveal him to be even more despicable than he was in the series' beginning.
