* TransformationTrinket: The Bind Warpers, bracelet bracelets that allow their users to create Briheights. Since there are no specific requirements other than having Conviction to access it, anyone can use the Bind Warpers to create a Briheight and it has gone so far as to being weaponized in large armies, essentially creating mass-produced Briheights piloted by thousands of foot soldiers.

* BaitAndSwitchCredits: The first episode's opening features only the characters from Rekka we met in the BatmanColdOpen, making the viewer think they're the main protagonists.

In subsequent episodes the opening and ending are in their "proper" places.

Lingalind, a continent completely surrounded by a massive wall. The land is dominated by two nations: The Lutoh Republic, which values intelligence, and The Great Rekka Empire, which values honor. These two nations are in constant conflict with each other over obtaining Rakuho - capsules that are sent from an unknown location once per month and land in predetermined regions of Lingalind, containing provisions and weapons that the people of Lingalind consider gifts from the wall. The most valued of these treasures are Bind Warpers, metallic armbands obtained from Rakuho capsules that allow one to summon and control a giant mechanical armor known as a Briheight. A Briheight's abilities are tied to one's Conviction, the thing they believe in above all else. The people of Lingalind revere the wall as a god, believing that all of existence is contained within.
One day after a Rakuho is recovered by Rekka forces, a previously unheard-of second Rakuho lands in Edger Village on the outskirts of Lingalind. Inside is an amnesiac young man whose only memory is that he is from "beyond the wall." Taking the name "Back Arrow," he seeks to journey back over the wall to restore his memory, entangling himself in the conflict between the two nations.
