* [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]: The mind-controlling "Eye Raid" technique causes this for both the user and the victim. Zelman Clock's "[[Kill It With Fire|Eye Ignite]]" also makes his eyes glow, though with all the [[Playing With Fire|fire]] it's hard to see.

* [[Katanas Are Just Better]]: Partially justified, as the show ''is'' set in Japan, but that still doesn't explain why Jiro used one in the Hong Kong Crusade, much less what appears to be [[Victorian London]]. Only three swords show up in the series, and two are katana.

** Watch the flashback sequences at the beginning of each episode again. In one it shows Jiro introducing himself to Alice as Sub-Lieutenant Jiro Mochizuki of the Imperial '''''Japanese''''' Navy. Now, I don't know, but, being trained almost from birth to use a weapon is a pretty good reason to be using it a century later, in Hong Kong and The Special Zone. Oh and it's not a Katana, by the lenght and curvature is seems to be more of a [[wikipedia:Tachi|Tachi]]
