** [[Dub Induced Plot Hole]]: There's a character in [[Gungnir]] named Einherjar, which could [[One Steve Limit|cause problems]] if we ever get that game, as both [[Gungnir]]'s Einherjar and Ein have [[Meaningful Name]]s.

* [[Epileptic Trees]]: Ein is the only known Grim Angel who isn't leucistic, a condition where a person has unnaturally pale skin (even Malice and {{spoiler|Nessiah}}, who are artificial and [[Fallen Angel|wingless]] respectively, have leucism). No one knows why. [[Dept. Heaven/WMG|There are some guesses.]]

Cierra is the oldest of the girls who travel with Ein's party, and acts as an older sister to the others. Her magic, while quite powerful, sometimes tends to be of the hit-or-miss variety because Cierra herself can be quite absentminded. She gets lost easily and isn't very good at making potions, although she is an excellent chef. Although her age is not officially given, she seems to be at least 20 years old (the legal drinking age in Japan), as official and unofficial works both [[Bottle Fairy|tend to portray her drinking wine or beer]]. Her surname isn't officially given, either. [[Fanon|Some fans hold her birthday]] to be November 25, the release date for the GBA version in Japan.

* [[Healing Factor]]: Recovers a small percentage of HP every turn, probably in order to make up for the way that he refuses to use all items other than Lorelei. This is much less impressive in chapter 8, where his healing rate can't always keep up with the amount of damage he takes.

* [[Heel Face Revolving Door]]: Although Ledah's true allegiance to the gods never wavers, there's a little confusion as to what the gods' will ''really is.''

* [[Japanese Pronouns]]: A critical part of his characterization; he confers his attitude of others through which pronouns he uses with them. It was largely lost in translation.
