* FranchiseKiller: Though the audience reception improved as the season went on, the ratings weren't good enough to pull the franchise out of the hole that ''Film/BladeTrinity'' had put it in, meaning that its cancellation proved the end of the line for the 1998--2006 ''Blade'' continuity. The title character would be absent from screens for the better part of two decades, until a ContinuityReboot as part of the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse was announced.

** The same goes in the Japanese dub, as Creator/HisaoEgawa voiced the titular hero, rather than Creator/AkioOtsuka from the films. This is especially strange here, as Ohtsuka has voiced him in all the films and also including the [[Anime/{{Blade}} animated adaptation]].

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: While it wasn't mindblowingly great, it was still a very decent TV show with what you'd expect to see from something bearing the name ''Blade'', and was [[GrowingTheBeard improving steadily in quality]]. Sadly Spike TV didn't see it that way from the ratings and pulled the plug, leaving the series unresolved. Budget could also have been a consideration, as for several years after this all of Spike TV's programming was testosterone-fuelled sports programming and similarly based reality shows.
