* In ''[[Chrono Trigger (Video Game)|Chrono Trigger]]'', pretty much everything you do in the past has effects on the future, e.g. Getting the Rainbow Shell leads to a new treasury being built in Guardia castle. When getting back from the Middle Ages for the first time, you get thrown in prison about immediately. This all makes sense: as far as the authorities can see, you '''did''' kidnap the princess. What I recently realized is that when rescuing the queen and chancellor in the past, he makes a single reference to the kingdom needing a better judicial system for such occasions. Exactly what happened to you. --Sandbylur
* The Masamune is actually the Ruby Knife, a weapon created by Melchior to destroy the Mammon Machine in 12,000 BC. The reason it is so effective against Magus is because, as royalty from the 12,000 BC magic kingdom fueled by that power, his magic must have likewise originally come from the Mammon Machine.
** Moreso than just that. The Ruby Knife was made of Dreamstone, the same stuff used to create the Mammon Machine. The Mammon Machine siphons magic from Lavos, so it wouldn't be surprising that the Masamune can also siphon energy.

* In ''[[Chrono Trigger (Video Game)|Chrono Trigger]]'', due to your stumbling around the time stream, Marle [[Ret-Gone|briefly vanishes from existence]]. When she returns after you [[Set Right What Once Went Wrong]], she tells Crono that her absence was "awful" and she was "somewhere cold, dark... and lonely." In other words, she was aware even when [[Ret-Gone]]. Consider now all the additional alterations you make to history throughout the game, which you ''don't'' correct later, and how likely it is that you erased thousands or even millions of people from history ([[Butterfly Effect|you made changes in the age of dinosaurs!]]) Millions doomed to an isolated limbo before they were even born...
** The ending gotten if the party defeats Lavos before defeating Azala, although comedic in tone, may upgrade this to ''[[Inferred Holocaust|an entire intelligent species]]''. {{spoiler|It's the exact same [[Good Morning, Crono]] and Millenial Fair sequence from the beginning of the game, except everyone is now a Repitite. Essentially, if Lavos did not crash into the Earth, the Repitites would have won the war, and almost certainly slaughtered Ayla and her people, along with the rest of the human race.}}
*** Not an [[Inferred Holocaust]] -- the holocaust was pretty much ''confirmed'' {{spoiler|in [[Chrono Cross (Video Game)|Chrono Cross]], almost the entirety of which is a [[Batman Gambit]] by the Reptites' gods to get Serge to return their people to power}}.
* Not sure why this isn't brought up, seems fairly obvious to this Troper. {{spoiler|The clone that you get to replace Chrono with seems to be a doll, it is referred to as such in the SNES version. It is also called a clone. Because that's what it is a biological doll.When the doll is swapped with Crono and killed in his place, it puts on a very convincing display of dying painfully. No one cares. That clone was alive, it was created for the sole purpose of dying. It [[Cloning Blues|existed for but a few brief hours]], an infant in the body of a teen, until you killed it to save Crono.}} [[You Bastard]].
** Oh my god, they killed {{spoiler|Crono!}}
