* CutShort: In both versions of the anime, it ended before the official resolution to the plot. In Japanese it ended after 150 episodes, right after the battle with Zeno. The dub cuts out at 104 right before the start of the Faudo Arc.

* ScrewedByTheLawyers: The legal fight between Makoto Raiku and Shogakukan resulted in Raiku gaining ''total'' control over everything he ever made, this series included.
