* AwesomeUnderwaterWorld: the underworld is invisioned as looking like an undersea realm, filled with dreadful coral-like structures and jellyfish-like spirits. This is based on Mayan associations of water with the underworld.

* RayOfHopeEnding: [[spoiler:Izel doesn't seal the fifth gate, meaning that Tezcatlipoca wins the bet and is free to destroy humanity on top of de-powering Quetzalcoatl. On top of that, his group loses both Yaotl and Zyanya, possibly forever. However, Izel stands up not just for himself but for humanity and tells the Gods that they are no longer their playthings.]]

* DownerBeginning: Between the EstablishingSeriesMoment featuring the destruction of Danibaan and Nelli's death followed by Izel's suicide attempt, the only thing keeping the overall tone of the episode's ending from being ''completely'' bleak is that Izel was spared by Quetzalcoatl and chosen to be his champion.

No Pronunciation Guide is now a disambig. Dewicking


* NoPronunciationGuide: Both the original English and the Latin American Spanish dubs has a very interesting quirk about the pronunciation of all the characters' names, and also overlaps with ShownTheirWork: Many of the names of the countries, tribes and places based in RealLife ones are pronounced using their original pronunciations from their original languages, and '''not''' the Spanish or English ones. As an example, there's the pronunciation of the original name of the Aztec Empire and it's people: In Nahuatl, they are named as "Mexicas", which in the show, the name is pronounced as "Meh-SHE-kahs", using Nahuatl phonology, and not either "Meh-HEE-kahs" (Spanish) or "Meh-TSEE-kahs" (English) as it's traditionaly done in both languages. Likewise, the Mayan city of Uxmal is pronounced as "Oosh-mahl" in Mayan, NOT "Ootz-mahl" (both Spanish and English).

This sentence needs a comma.


* IstanbulNotConstantinople: Fitting for a pre-colonial setting none of the modern Mexican names are used, instead using indigenous names for locations, properly pronounced at that. For example, Monte Alban is rendered in Zapotec Danibáan.

* AmbiguousTimePeriod: The story takes place somewhere in Mesoamerican history, deliberately unspecified. It does show the remnants of the Olmecs and Classical Mayan temples, but also major Maya cities co-existing with the Aztec empire.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Yun and K'in decide to cook up the GiantEnemyCrab they found in a temple. At the beginning of the next episode, all of the characters are on the tail end of food poisoning. Not all crabs are edible and even those that tend to become unfit for consumption very quickly.
