  • Fridge Brilliance:
    • In the first game, Khan bought two costumes - Bozo the Clown and Seamus the Pixie. Since the name for the latter costume is Irish and its design is associated with Irish folklore, guess where Khan is going to target the next victim?
    • Many people in Quaramonte City believe that carrying a small statue of Tezcatlipoca brings bad luck. George carries one and encounters some terrible situations like getting in jail and the boat that he and Nico ride to go to Teoculcan is destroyed. Upon George used the statue to lit a fire in the jungle, it shows a scratch which implies that he breaks the curse.
    • Why does Tezcatlipoca looked like a zombie? When the cutscene shows during shaman's story, Tezcatlipoca is depicted as a human being trapped in an obsidian mirror for hundreds of years.
    • Looking at the title of the third game, the symbol of The Cult of the Dragon shaped like number three.
    • George black clothing in the third game may look goofy until you realize that it's useful in hiding in the shadows from guards.
    • The Key of Solomon in the third game. There are two places to use that item. In the Armillary, the Key of Solomon is used to locate the Dragon Power while in Glastonbury the key is used to pull out the Excalibur. If you think about it, the key is some sort of special item to unleash the Dragon Power and if there's something wrong with that power (e.g. the Grand Master's transformation into a dragon), something or someone must to stop it, which turned out to be the Excalibur.
    • In the fifth game, why doesn't Nico like receiving yellow flowers from George? In flower language, the color yellow symbolizes platonic love or friendship which means that Nico still has romantic feelings towards George.
    • Marques and Eva have a common reason why they continue teaching Gnosticism: the death of their fathers.
  • Fridge Horror:
    • In the first game, George sucessfully traps the goat using the old plow. Since the excavation site in the castle is locked, who's going to save the goat who is struggling to get out?
      • Goats will eat anything, It'll chew through the rope and be fine.
    • At one point in the second game, Father Hubert tells George that he's living in the jungle for many years and met villagers. Then, he stops talking when he mentions about the Monkey Dance. Upon learning from the shaman that Father Hubert participated the Monkey Dance and conceived eight children, any person who gets lost in the jungle for many years will be tempted to have sexual liaison.
    • Near the end of the second game, when Tezcatlipoca escapes from the mirror a bright wave appears outside the temple causing destruction, including Pablo's death. What if there are innocent people around the jungle such as tribesmen are killed in that power?
    • In the third game, George and Nico return to Glastonbury only to find out that place has been flooded due to the effects of releasing Dragon Power. Now imagine how devastating that the Dragon Power can make to the world and by looking at the flood, it's implied that millions of people have been killed.
    • At the salami factory in the fourth game, Toni's corpse is left hanging on the conveyor line. If somebody activates the factory's salami-making machine, chances are the next batch of salamis are made of human flesh.
    • There are things that are found in Black Cat Massage Parlor such as vibrating bunny and taser. Once you picture how they are used in priests...
  • Fridge Logic:
    • Near the end of The Sleeping Dragon, why doesn't Petra bring her magnum when she encountered George and Nico in Glastonbury? Then again in few cutscenes in Paris where she appeared, her weapon has tendency to jam thus interrupting her to kill them.
    • If only Gnostics can figure the answer behind the painting, how come George and Gehnen managed to solve its puzzles? Even George points it out.
