Trivia:

In the final shot after the credits, Itoshiki is briefly pictured in front of a red mecha, wearing a military jacket.

The mecha on the picture additionally wears Char's signature mask.

Starting with Goku SZS, and continuing through Zoku & Banigachi, there are a series of percussion notes at the end of Chiri Kitsu's phrases and sentences. This is almost like a homage to the old "Phonetic Punctuation" bit by the old comedian/musician Victor Borge.
