 * "What is the likelihood of a DBX being a death battle? They think they've done this before but they are actually referring to One Minute Melee. If the DBX performs well then the it's more likely to become a death battle but the DNX's performance is based solely on how good the animator animates it rather than the quality of the matchup. Still just because something isn't a DBX doesn't mean it's banned from death battle.
 * Will you ever do another battle royale? (16:24) "Sure". Sam doesn't doubt that death battle will feature another battle royale, he just doesn't know which one. Nick suggests Power Rangers.
 * How do you determine whether it's fine to use a character with the current feats as opposed to waiting for new material (17:24)? Most times, they think they're using all they can conceivably use... and then the Death Battle Curse hits.
 * Sam says that the script for episode 102 has been finalised a week and a half prior to August 26... and then a few days later one of the combatants gained a new power. The script isn't being changed because 1) it doesn't make a major change to the fight and 2) the animation is already at the point where it's too late to make any changes.
 * Goku vs Superman is the first (or at least most memorable) occurence of the Death Battle Curse.
