** Master Albert's goal: [[Social Darwinist|exterminating the whole population, leaving the "worthy" ones alive to prosper,]] using a superweapon called [[Ouroboros]]. He's seen to be a highly-capable [[Magnificent Bastard]] who has a strong [[A God Am I|god complex]], to boot. Now try to compare that to another [[Resident Evil 5 (Video Game)|Albert]]. <ref>Keep in mind that ''ZXA'' precedes ''RE5'' by a margin of about 2 years.</ref>

** Might be intentional on the creators' part: ''Advent'' featured an unlockable minigame, ''Mega Man a'', all in 8-bit, styled after the original series of games. A few months later, ''[[Mega Man (Video Game)|Mega Man]] 9'' was released, in all its [[Retraux]] glory.

* [[Narm Charm]]: Activating a Biometal in the Japanese version prompts a cry from "R.O.C.K. On!" from your character. Woolsey'd to "Megamerge" in English.

* [[Nostalgia Level]]: Part of Area D in the first ''ZX'' looks EXACTLY like the opening stage from the first ''[[Mega Man X (Video Game)|Mega Man X]]'', along with minibosses which cause the floor to collapse after being destroyed.

** The Ouroboros stage. There are blocks that can be destroyed and then regenerating. If you're standing on the block's space when it fully regenerates, you die. There's also [[Spikes of Doom|spiked]] regenerating blocks and [[Bottomless Pits]] right under them. Oh, and this part (Ouroboros-3) is right after the [[Boss Rush]] and right before the [[Final Boss]] room. Have fun.

** [[Jerkass Woobie]]: Even so, they held nothing but contempt for the rest of the world, and while their actions ''do'' [[Stealth Mentor|guide the heroes toward defeating Serpent and Albert]], there was no kindness in their cruel actions. [[It's All About Me|Their only concern was themselves and each other]]; everything else was just a liability in their eyes.

* [[Woolseyism]]: "Live Metal" to "Biometal"; "Falseroid" to "Pseudoroid"; the aforementioned [[Fun With Acronyms|Fun Acronyms]] and [[Narm Charm|Charming Narm]]; "Girouette" gains the nickname "Giro"; "Helios" to the much-more-sensible-for-an-air-elemental "Aeolus"; "Serpent Company" to "Slither Inc."; a few boss names as well (although one simply goes from "Condorrock the Vulturoid" to "Vulturon the Condoroid"...).
