** The four generals are named after a sort-of-portmanteau of the DNA base pairs and pagan elemental spirits. Guame = guanine+ Gnome, spirit of earth; Adiane = adenine+ Undine, spirit of water; Cytomander = cytosine+ Salamander, spirit of fire and Thymilph = thymine+ Sylph, spirit of air. Their Gunmen are also named after [[The Four Gods]], Suzaku, Seiryuu, Byakkou, and Genbu.
** The four Beastman flagships are all named "Gun(something about the ship)". There's the ground-based Gundo: ''"do"'' means "earth", air-based Gunten: ''"ten"'' is "heaven", sea-based Gunkai: ''"kai"'' is "ocean", and for the Gunzan: ''"zan"'' is a phonetic variant of ''"san"'', meaning "mountain."
** "Simon" contains ''"shimo"'', "below"; "Kamina" has ''"kami"'', "above"; "Yoko" is ''"yoko"'', "beside", and her alter-ego Yomako is from ''"mayoko"'', "directly beside"; Nia has "near" (of course); Kittan is from ''"tanki"'', "quick-tempered"; Leeron is from ''"riron"'', "theory"; Gimmy and Darry are from ''"migi"'' and ''"hidari"'', "right" and "left"; Kiyoh is from ''"youki"'', "cheerful", and her infant daughter Anne is from ''"annei"'', "public peace"; Kinon is from ''"nonki"'', "easygoing"; Kiyal is from ''"yaruki"'', "eager"; Dayakka is from ''"odayaka"'', "gentle"; Kidd and Ailak are from ''"kidoairaku"'', "human emotions"; Zorthy is from ''"souzoushii"'', "noisy, boisterous"; Jorgun and Balinbow are from ''"ganjou"'', "solid" and ''"abarenbou"'', "rowdy"; Makken is from ''"kenma"'', "grinding, polishing, studying"; Leite is from ''"teire"'', "maintenance"; Attenborough is from ''"awatenbou"'', "hasty". Jeeha Village is from ''"haji"'', "end"; Littner is from ''"tonari"'', "next door"; Korehana (the school Yomako taught at) is from ''"hanare kojima"'', "small island of isolation"; Bachika is from ''"chikaba"'', "nearby place"; Adai is from ''"aida"'', "distance; Koiiga (no official romanisation, the village Kidd and Iraak are from) is from ''"gaikoku"'', "foreign country"; Nakai (from whence Zorthy hails) is from ''"inaka"'', "countryside"; Bakusa (Jorgun and Balinbow's home village) is from ''"sabaku"'', "desert"; Jouken (Leite and Makken's home village) is from ''"kenjou"'', "neighbourhood"; Koachichi (Attenborough's home village) is from ''"acchikocchi"'', "somewhere". Memusu (Viral's daughter) is from ''"musume"'', "daughter". Phew.
* [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill]]: Most battles, including the very first, are completed by utterly anhilating the enemy. "GIGA!!! DRILL!!! BRRRRREAKER!!!!!"
** The Giga Drill Break in Episode 8 Almost takes an entire chapter in the manga... or at least 11 PAGES FOR A 30 SECOND LONG ATTACK SEQUENCE!
