== Trivia ==
* Dimitri shares his English voice actor, Chris Hackney, with Boey in Echoes: Shadows of Valentia and Heroes, as well as Quan in Heroes.
** Chris Hackney stated in an interview that his favorite scene to record was the post-Gronder scene with Rodrigue.
* Due to House Riegan being a cadet branch of the Blaiddyd royal family, Dimitri is distantly related to Claude.
* Dimitri shares the alias "Tempest King" with Joshua from The Sacred Stones.
* Dimitri is the only house leader to have two playable retainers — Dedue and Gilbert, though the latter is only playable after the timeskip.
* As a Lord in the Academy phase, Dimitri's eyes on his sprite will change color to match his affiliation — blue as a player unit, red as an enemy, and yellow as a third army enemy. This quirk is not present for Edelgard or Claude and stops for Dimitri after the timeskip.
* Dimitri uses blue colors for his classes.
* In Chapter 17 of the Crimson Flower route, Dimitri's sprite depicts him with an eyepatch, even though he does not lose his right eye.
** Despite this, an unused sprite exists in the game's code that depicts Dimitri as a Great Lord, but without his eyepatch.
* Dimitri has the most portraits in the game. In Azure Moon, Verdant Wind, and Silver Snow, Dimitri has bags under his eyes that disappear after Chapter 17 of the Azure Moon route as well as a childhood portrait during a flashback in Chapter 21. However, in the Crimson Flower route, he still has his right eye.
** Game director Toshiyuki Kusakihara stated in an interview that Dimitri was not initially going to have an eyepatch after the timeskip. The decision to give him one was taken later in development and was meant to communicate that he underwent certain hardships in the other routes.
*** On a technical note, Dimitri's battle model as an enemy in Gronder Field in The Verdant Wind route lacks the bags under his eyes while keeping his pre-chapter 18 voice clips at the same time.
* Dimitri has the highest amount of critical hit quotes in the series at 18. Four during the Academy Phase, four when facing a named enemy in the Academy Phase, Four between Chapters 13 and 17, four from Chapter 18 onwards, and two when facing a named enemy in the War Phase post-Chapter 18.
* In Three Houses, due to Dimitri having ageusia, he has the least amount of disliked dishes with only 1 disliked dish while also having the least amount of favorite dishes with only 6 in total.
* In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Byleth's Dimitri costume is the only one where the dagger is recolored. The color scheme matches the dagger Dimitri gave to Edelgard.
* Dimitri's artwork from the Academy Phase depicts him wielding a Silver Lance, while his one from the War Phase depicts him wielding Areadbhar.
