Horikoshi has praised Eiichiro Oda's willingness to let characters speak their minds, something he leaned on heavily for Bakugo. But he's also said outright that he just doesn't have the stamina to write something on the scale of One Piece, which shaped his decision to keep MHA a more contained story rather than a decades-long saga.
For years, the coveted Recon Armour wasn't something you could simply unlock in-game. Getting it meant completing a brutal set of Vidmaster Challenges spread across Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST, things like finishing a level solo on Legendary without ever firing a shot or throwing a grenade. Complete them all and Bungie would grant you the Armour through their 'Road to Recon' program on Bungie.net.

In the final act, as Ambessa is about to lose to Mel, she calls her 'the Wolf' right before things go south. It's a small line, but plenty of fans think it's pointing toward Kindred, the champion literally made up of a wolf and a lamb, suggesting Mel might have a bigger role to play in whatever comes after Arcane.
The show's logo isn't just stylised text — Br and Ba are pulled straight from the periodic table, standing for Bromine and Barium. A neat little tie-back to Walt's old day job as a chemistry teacher.
Andrzej Sapkowski, the Polish novelist behind the books this whole series is built on, had no creative involvement in the direction CD Projekt Red took the story. All of the quests, characters, and choices players remember were shaped entirely by the studio's own writing team.
