* Lemeza's backstory in general. His father abandoned him as a little kid to further his career, when he grew up and got into the same field Shawn keeps poaching his research, [[spoiler:up to and including the Treasure of Life,]] and if you take La-Mulana 2's known backstory into account, [[spoiler:the rest of humanity only knows that he destroyed a world heritage site, not that he saved the species by doing so, and he's a wanted criminal]]. The guy just can't catch a break, can he?

** New information learned in ''La Mulana 2'' puts the entire conflict in a new, horrifying light. [[spoiler: Abuto was the one who orchestrated the entire thing. In truth, Sakit was not the violent man who "took power in his hand" as we had been led to believe. Rather, he questioned why the giants should fight one another. In response, Abuto manipulated Sakit into murdering Ledo, kicking off the civil war. Sakit alone was blamed for the war. As punishment he was sent to the Underworld while still alive, to have his intestines eaten for all eternity.]] And it gets even worse when you learn that Ledo, the giant that Sakit killed to start the conflict, was [[spoiler: Sakit's wife.]]

** The Mausoleum of the Giants' backside counterpart, the Graveyard of the Giants. As the title indicates, it's littered with the corpses of long-dead giants, and is cold to the point of frosting and icing. In contrast to the Mausoleum being a grandiose tribute to the Giants, the Graveyard highlights the coldness of the Giants' fates: disposed of and left to sleep forever with neither faction having reached a resolution to the whole conflict.

* The entire premise, really. [[spoiler:The Mother is trapped, unable to return to the sky like she hopes. Not aware that leaving the Earth is no longer an option for her, she keeps killing generation after generation of life for failing her wish, which leaves only one other option: give her, the mother of all life on Earth, a MercyKill.]]

* In a sense, what lay behind the Giants' civil war. Migela's faction wanted to restore the Mother to the heavens, the whole reason the Mother created them. But Sakit's faction wanted her to stay. Effectively, ''[[MissingMom they didn't want to be abandoned by their creator]]''. Essentially, it was a clash not between good and evil, but between two different understandings of filial love.
