* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]] - {{spoiler|Dr. Tanaka}}

* [[Break the Cutie]] - {{spoiler|Flashbacks reveal that after Yinsen miraculously avoided his [[Death By Origin Story]], he was taken in by a rural village, where he began to recover in both body and soul. However, the [[Big Bad]] then destroyed the entire village using Stark weaponry in order to turn Yinsen against Tony.}}

* [[Continuity Nod]]: Fans of the comics will get the references to Advanced Idea Mechanics, the Fujikawa corporation and mention of quinjets.

* [[Crazy Prepared]]: Tony has 'suit-up' machines in the unlikeliest of places...

** In the second episode of the adaptation, there's a similar play on this - when someone asks him why he hasn't answered about whether or not {{spoiler|he's smuggling plutonium into the country}}, he replies, "Oh, I've got an answer, I'm trying to think of a courteous way to say it." And then... {{spoiler|"It's a friggin' lie!"}} Kind of makes you wonder what his original, non-courteous answer would've been.

* [[Handsome Lech]] - Tony, naturally.

** Sakurai, when he discovers who the real [[Big Bad]] is.

** Nanami - [[Shizuka Itou]]

** Dr. Tanaka - [[Takako Honda]]
