* The Candle Maker apparently has a brother, whose name is known as [[spoiler: The Creator.]]
** [[spoiler: [[https://twitter.com/mexopolis/status/569552653480435713 The Creator rules the Land of the Blessed.]] [[https://twitter.com/mexopolis/status/569652990677618688 A land where angels and other celestial beings live]]]].

* The Candle Maker had a human disguise too. [[spoiler: He was the bus driver that brought the detention kids to the museum. In fact, all of the gods played a role in causing the kids to get detention/be in that specific group.]]

** La Noche means [[spoiler: "The Night"]] in Spanish.

* According to a twitter thread from a fan that Jorge hinted was on the right track (spoilers for "Maya and the Three"): [[spoiler: Upon learning of Lord Mictlan's killing of Lady Micte, La Muerte was absolutely beyond devastated. Wanting to make sure he would never cause his wife that much pain again or even risk killing her himself, Xibalba ''ripped out his snake form'' and transformed it into his two-headed snake staff Mas y Menos.]] ''Wow.''

* The Detention Kids all end up serving their detention [[spoiler: because the gods made it happen.]]

** Xibalba is actually an OverprotectiveDad.

* Apparently Xibalba and El Chamuco have another sibling: Lord Mictlan of "Maya and the Three".

* Joaquin will gain the ability to see ghosts and other things through his bad eye, which will be both a blessing and a curse.

** She was said to be an "interesting" rival for Joaquin before eventually being confirmed as his ultimate LoveInterest

** She will also most likely be an "interesting" rival for Joaquin.

* The Detention Kids are students at Saint Mary Maria Academy, the same school from Jorge's OneEpisodeWonder, ''Carmen Got Expelled!''

* La Muerte actually had romantic relations with humans before, an it is part of why she loves mankind.

* La Noche rules The Land of the Unknown,hosts not only unknown people but unknown creatures.

* Manolo's mother Carmen was a singer/dancer at a cantina in Mexico City when she met Carlos. Part of the reason
Carlos doesn't want Manolo to be a musician is that it reminds him too much of Carmen.

* For some reason, Joaquin's mother blames herself for what happened to her husband and eventually went mad from it. This is why Gutiérrez describes her as an "eternal widow".
** She came from a wealthy family and demanded that Joaquin Sr. give her a lavished lifestyle, which most likely resulted in him and the medal. When he died, she retreated to her mansion in the city from guilt and only ever leaves to see Joaquin.
** [[http://mexopolis.tumblr.com/post/108762998499/mexopolis-this-is-joaquins-mother-gertrude Here]] is Gertrude's character design.
* General Mondragon (Joaquin's father) was killed by Chakal.
* Carlos Sánchez and Captain Mondragon were rivals since childhood. This is mainly because they both fancied Carmen until Mondragon met Gertrude.
* When Captain Mondragon went mad from the medal, he chopped off General Posada's hand.
* Maria's mother was apparently on the train with her on the day Maria left San Angel.
* Maria's mother, Dora Luz, divorced General Posada and moved to Spain.
* Maria's mother's maiden name is Ramirez.
* Captain Mondragon and Chakal are '''not''' the same being as many fans had speculated, but they are most likely related (possibly brothers).
* Joaquin's mother could be described as "frigid and not the most caring" while his father was kind and loving yet consumed by war and the medal.

** Continuing on with this, Carmen was Justice Jaguar's sister

* Manolo's mother Carmen was a singer/dancer at a cantina in Mexico City when she met Carlos. Part of the reason Carlos doesn't want Manolo to be a musician is that it reminds him too much of Carmen.

* Captain Mondragon had also obtained a sword from Xibalba for being his champion.
* Captain Mondragon was involved in three of Xibalba's wagers; he lost the last one.
* The reason why Joaquin Sr. was not present in the Remembered has been revealed; he currently resides in the Land of the Unknown due to Xibalba losing the last bet (to his brother).

* La Muerte inherited the Land of the Remembered from her mother; it is also highly possible that the former King of the Unknown is hers and La Noche's father.

* El Chamuco, La Muerte's old flame, was more of a love interest than a boyfriend.
** He still has feelings for La Muerte.

* Xibalba went through with his punishment for La Muerte, which made her all the more devastated.

El Chamuco rules The Land of the Cursed, which is supposedly where the most wicked dead reside.

** The same applies to his brother.

* Xibalba is actually from Europe and came along with the Conquistadors. He also has other names besides Xibalba, which also applies to the other gods.

** Even worse, it was hinted that ''she'' was the one who was meant to be punished because she did something bad...

* La Muerte, Xibalba, La Noche, and El Chamuco make wagers on mankind all of the time, and because of this, have caused ''every single one'' of mankind's famous (and infamous) moments.


* La Muerte LOVES [[WesternAnimation/ElTigre the Rivera family]]. Xibalba, not so much. Apparently Sartana has not been a very good daughter...

* While Xibalba is not a fan of either the Sanchezes or the Riveras (for obvious reasons), he ''does'' however have a soft spot for the Mondragons.

* Xibalba knew Joaquin's father very well. The reason? He won an earlier wager using Joaquin's father as his champion.
** This was actually one of the two main reasons why Xibalba chose Joaquin as his champion in the first place. The other reason? Because in a way, [[YouRemindMeOfX Joaquin reminded him of himself]].

El Chamucp rules The Land of the Cursed, which is supposedly where the most wicked dead reside.

* Xibalba was once a knight for good, but he got cocky and paid the price.
** The same applies to his brother.
** Xibalba and his brother were banished to the Lands of the Forgotten and Cursed as their punishment for doing something really, really bad.






* El Chamuco, La Muerte's old flame and her sister's husband, still has feelings for La Muerte.

** La Noche and El Chamuco do have feelings for each other but it's "...it's a very dangerous love. Especially for us mortals."





* La Noche and El Chamuco started dating before La Muerte and Xibalba.
* La Noche and El Chamuco married on the same day as La Muerte and Xibalba.

* El Chamuco wasn't the previous ruler of the Land of the Forgotten before Xibalba.





* El Chamuco is made out of lava and has a dragon trident.
** And, if the lava and trident imagery and the above "sibling rivalry" post didn't tip anything off, El Chamuco is in fact Xibalba's older brother.

* La Muerte inherited the Land of the Remembered from her mother; it is also highly possible that the former King of the Unknown is hers and La Noche's father.

* La Noche and El Chamuco were both incredibly '''furious''' when they found out La Muerte and Xibalba married.

* La Noche means [[spoiler: "The Night"]] in Spanish, while El Chamuco literally means [[spoiler: "The Devil"]] in Spanish.




* The puddle in the Cave of Souls is not only 'alive' but also apparently made from the tears of a goddess... '''''La Noche's''''' tears, to be exact.



* Xibalba is actually from Europe and came along with the Conquistadors. He also has other names besides Xibalba, which also applies to the other gods.
* Xibalba went through with his punishment for La Muerte, which made her all the more devastated.
** Even worse, it was hinted that ''she'' was the one who was meant to be punished because she did something bad...

* The Candle Maker apparently has a brother, whose name is known as [[spoiler: The Creator.]]

* She's apparently quite "spicy", unlike La Muerte who is made of sweet sugar candy.


** The Land of the Unknown hosts not only unknown people but unknown creatures. So far confirmed are; Souls of John and Jane Does, souls of all the magical beings that have passed, and Alebrijes, (brightly colored fantastical creatures of Oaxacan-Mexican folklore).

* La Muerte and La Noche are rivals in ''everything'', to the point that La Noche even married La Muerte's old flame El Chamuco. Together with her husband, La Noche rules the Land of the Unknown.

* Xibalba and El Chamuco's relationship is “sibling rivalry on a god's level”.

* La Noche and El Chamuco started dating before La Muerte and Xibalba.

* La Noche was basically going to be a "female version of Xibalba in terms of personality", according to Jorge Gutiérrez.


* As it turns out, the gods only went to that museum for the one day in order to talk to the kids; however, other gods tend to use the museum for similar reasons.

* Xibalba's wings are burnt angel wings.

* La Muerte's necklace was a gift from Xibalba when they first met.

* Xibalba apparently cheated (or looked like he did) on La Muerte because of insecurity, but he was completely loyal and faithful to her even when they were separated.










* Xibalba has an older and even more powerful/fearsome brother. This brother rules The Land of the Cursed, which is supposedly where the most wicked dead reside.
** The Land of the Cursed is a ''very hot'' place.
** The Land of the Cursed is full of flame shapes.

* La Muerte has an identical twin sister named La Noche. The sisters are rivals in ''everything'', to the point that La Noche even married La Muerte's old flame El Chamuco. Together with her husband, La Noche rules the Land of the Unknown.

* La Noche is as beautiful as La Muerte, but more Aztec and Mayan.
** The Land of the Unknown hosts not only unknown people but unknown creatures. So far confirmed are; Souls of John and Jane Does, souls of all the magical beings that have passed, and Alebrijes, (brightly colored fantastical creatures of Oaxacan-Mexican folklore).
** The Land of the Unknown is filled with spiral shapes the way the Land of the Forgotten is triangles and the Land of the Remembered is circles.

* She's apparently quite "spicy", unlike La Muerte who is made of sweet sugar candy.


* The reason that Xibalba was banished to the Land of the Forgotten in the first place was because he apparently cheated on La Muerte with other goddesses. WordOfGod later revealed that [[SubvertedTrope he never actually did]]. [[MistakenForCheating It just appeared that way]].

* Xibalba's neck is apparently made of Ectoplasm.

* [[https://twitter.com/mexopolis/status/774401382891663360 El Chamuco's design]] was revealed via Jorge Gutierrez's Twitter.
