** John's first time {{spoiler|dying while in Tellius}} grants us some [[Exposition Beam|insight]] into some of the character's thoughts on the event. The whole thing is somber enough... until we get to {{spoiler|[[Hero of Another Story|Patrick's]] [[Mood Whiplash|thoughts]], which promptly go from mourning [[We Hardly Knew Ye|John's passing]] to accidentally making himself (and the readers) lose The Game and reciting [[Rickroll|a certain love ballad]] to himself in hopes of using it to win over Ilyana.}} [[A Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Read]], indeed. |

** General Wallace's [[Continuity Nod|spring loaded chain axe]] has been constantly referred to as "chained axe [[God of War (series)|God of War]] bull$#!@" by Patrick. {{spoiler|Upon stealing it, Patrick immediately flies into more references to the series, as well as breaking out the [[Memetic Mutation|infamous]] '''[[Dynasty Warriors|DO NOT PURSUE LU BU]]'''.}} |

* [[Synchronus Episodes]]: Chapters 39 (Do or Die) and 40 (Do or Die: Jill) start at roughly the same time and end roughly the same time, except Chapter 40 has a little {{spoiler|funeral blurb}} tacked on to the end. They even have some scenes that are the same in both chapters. One has to wonder if this is brilliance by the author to combine the two chapters or sheer laziness. |
