History Fridge / VoltesV

** Or that the Voltes team are too skilled as they all underwent respective TrainingFromHell routines that made their reflexes razor sharp when dealing with mooks.

* It might seem like an AssPull that Kenichi defeats Heinel during their swordfighting duel in the GrandFinale, but it makes sense when you remember that Heinel had just lost Katherine. His mental state was heavily fractured at the time.

** During the development of Voltes V, [[WhatCouldHaveBeen one scrapped idea]] was that Kenichi was to fall in love with Katherine's sister, Marlene Rii. If a child was born out of that romance, would Katherine have executed her own nephew/niece?

*** Considering that in the draft for the episode, Marlene says that Katherine was a loving sister and helped hide her from the Boazanians, probably not.

* Why is Daijirou is fat despite being a martial artist? In RealLife, martial artists have to consume a lot of food for their bodies to develop properly.

* The importance of Lozaria's dagger. Heinel grew up believing his father abandoned him and never loved him. The fact that he gave Lozaria a dagger was a sign that he cared for her. Gohl noting he gave it to her meant that all of Heinel's misconceptions about him were wrong. Throw in the fact that it's the only thing he has of her, and his sudden HeelFaceTurn makes sense.

* Zuhl being TheMole between Heinel's aides makes sense when you consider that Katherine and Jangal have external motives for helping Heinel - Katherine is in love with him and Jangal wants the glory of being a honourable warrior under his command. Zuhl, on the other hand, has no external motive, hence it being easy for Zambajil to convince him to murder Heinel.

* One of the customs of Boazania is Boazanian women (such as La Gohl's mother, Lozaria, and Katherine) wearing veils attached to their horns. At first it seems to be an aesthetic thing, but it could also be for protecting their heads in case their horns knock over things.

* In Episode 3, Heinel praises Katherine for her extensive knowledge of Earthern creatures. But Katherine is a MadScientist who mutates animals, and once mutated a wild dog into killing a puppy's mother right in front of his eyes to prepare it as a Beast Fighter - so what lengths did Katherine go to acquire this "extensive knowledge" of animals?

* In Episode 28, it's revealed that La Oral attempted to murder La Gohl when he was a baby because he didn't want his son to be a hornless Boazanian before his wife and their gynecologist stopped him. That begs the question, is practicing fillicide to preserve honour a common practice amongst Boazanian nobility?

* As stated in the NightmareFuel/VoltesV page, it's a good thing Kenichi had the foresight to send Hiyoshi to free the Boazanian slaves while the Voltes team occupied Heinel's castle, because a ten-year-old seeing Jangal commit {{Seppuku}} would have everlasting scars well into adulthood.

* As stated in the NightmareFuel/VoltesV page, it's a good thing Kenichi had the foresight to send Hiyoshi to free the Boazanian slaves while the Voltes team occupied Heinel's castle, because a ten-year-old seeing Jangal [[spoiler: commit {{Seppuku}}]] would have everlasting scars well into adulthood.

*** Heinel's wording implies Godol was not a robot, but a Boazanian just like him. Also, for what it's worth, Godol has somewhat a resemblance to Jesus with his beard, and we know Heinel is obsessively religious. Make of that what you will.

* If Zuhl was smarter, he could have hidden the voice changer machine from Heinel and used it against him, such as having it imitate Zambajil's voice to put him in danger. Thankfully, this doesn't happen.
