* RoleReprise: In the Hungarian dub, Tamás Markovics reprises his role as Lion-O from the 2011 series.

* FanNickname: The redesigned Sword of Omens has the Eye of Thundera [[https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OfdZ7TSq9zg/WwItECsmqCI/AAAAAAAAVRA/5XmwidozZUgtgtw6W_EEvZ7HXo202iwggCLcBGAs/s1600/thundercatsHis02.jpg built into the cross-guard instead of above it]], obscuring the ThirdEye motif and placing it level to Lion-O's nose when he does the familiar "Sight Beyond Sight" pose. Some fans have thus playfully called this "Smell Beyond Smell".

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: It got a Saturday morning premiere timeslot [[WesternAnimation/TotalDramaRama along]] [[WesternAnimation/AppleAndOnion with]] Creator/CartoonNetwork's [[WesternAnimation/CraigOfTheCreek more]] [[WesternAnimation/VictorAndValentino adored]] [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo shows]], and was consistently and heavily advertised during this period, but had virtually ''no'' reruns. And if there actually was a rerun, it would most likely be on the weekend right before [adult swim]. After the middle of the first season, the show (being the only one on the Saturday morning block to have this distinction), was removed entirely due to the block being pulled, and Cartoon Network dedicating most of their weekend to ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball''. New episodes would eventually return on November 2nd with heavy advertising; however, they aired at 8:00am [[note]]bar the ThanksgivingEpisode which aired at 9:45am on a Saturday morning[[/note]], when the target audience would be too busy getting ready for school, with reruns being non-existent. The staff soon revealed on Twitter the show had ended production for the time being, with "Grune" as the last episode to be made (and "Mandora Saves Christmas", held over for the holiday season, being the last episode broadcast).

* OutOfOrder: "Mandora Saves Christmas" was meant to air before "Plundmas", as that episode has Santa Claus in jail in reference to the end of the former. Instead, it was held over to air in December, becoming the last broadcast episode of the series.
