** Also when Manny and Frida meet his ancestors they are angry at him for eating their offerings. Rather than just scold him like a normal child, they all (hero and villain alike) decide to kill him! Also they are all very indifferent to Sartana's destruction of Miracle City (until Frida points out how it affects them) implies that being dead for so long may have affected their moral compass and don't see much value in life.

* Sometimes, Manny is somehow able to distort his face to the point of looking possessed for a couple seconds though this is usually PlayedForLaughs. Special mention goes to the GrossUpCloseUp NightmareFace he gave Sofia at the end of "Mustache Love" that bordered on psychotic.

** The part where Sofia forces Manny into a make out session and Manny, clearly wanting out of there, being pressured to go through with it has quite the uncomfortable vibe. Hell, Manny was downright ''ecstatic'' when Don Baffi and his goons interrupted the moment until they begin attacking Manny under the assumption that ''he'' was putting the moves on Sofia! They would have done Manny in too had Raul not stopped them.

* "Rising Son" has Manny and Frida unwittingly set up Toshiro, the son of The Seventh Samarai who is one of White Pantera's old friends, to be ambushed by his father's most dangerous enemies. The kicker, however, is when Frida lets it slip that the attack was planned Toshiro, who till then was a polite boy to the point of everyone's detriment, completely loses his shit at the betrayal and [[BlastingTime blows up his enemies with his sumo mecha]] before threatening to do the same to Manny. His last bit of dialogue implies that he's now a fledging BloodKnight planning on making anyone who breaks a rule in Shogun City suffer, and his father briefly seems to think bringing him to Miracle City to toughen him up might have GoneHorriblyRight.
