The "Chekhov's Gun" principle states that any memorable element of a story must be absolutely necessary and irreplaceable to the narrative, and that any unnecessary elements should be removed. If you make a point of referencing something (Levi's Titan Serum) at some point in a story, then it must come into play at a later point. Otherwise, there was no point in mentioning it at all.
