Both Kazuki Takahashi and Monkey Punch have deceased


* Creator/KazukiTakahashi, creator of ''Franchise/YuGiOh'', was very apprehensive about the idea of a show after ''GX'', and when he created characters and concepts for ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds'', it was under the condition that ''5D's'' would be the last one, and he deliberately refused to have input on it. As of this writing, there have been four shows since ''5D's'', and Takahashi's direct input on the anime seems to have ceased after ''Anime/YuGiOhZEXAL'', with his major contributions since then consisting of various art pieces and some work on the films.

* Monkey Punch originally intended for ''Manga/LupinIII'' to be another one of his adult parody manga series that only lasted a few chapters like most of his past works. However, ''Weekly Manga Action'', the magazine that serialized it, started selling like hotcakes because of this and led to him continuing the manga for five years. Afterwards, [[Franchise/LupinIII TV series, movies and specials]] have kept the franchise going continuously. Even Monkey Punch himself expressed complete surprise over the series' sudden popularity. This hasn't stopped him from continuing to work on it with subsequent sequel manga, though.
