History Trivia / ACertainScientificRailgun

* AscendedFanon: A minor one. The Tokiwadai Dorm supervisor's appearance changes [[http://i.imagehost.org/view/0482/snapshotIndex_Supervisor from the Index anime]] to the [[http://i.imagehost.org/view/0127/snapshotRailgun_Supervisor Railgun anime]]. Some fans think it was change to match her looks in the manga while others think they are just two different people with the same job. Along came Episode 19, which mentions there are two Tokiwadai Dorms, which suggest there are indeed two different dorm supervisors.

* FlipFlopOfGod: In the beginning of the [[LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex Index]] novel and anime, Mikoto fires a railgun which passes by Touma but in the Railgun manga drawn by Motoi Fukuyama, she fires the Railgun at him which he stops using Imagine Breaker. Unfortunately, this caused some backlash with fans since it is contested by the fandom if this is possible. To avoid this contradiction, the Railgun anime has the events that lead to the Railgun incident {{Retcon}} to an earlier date before the time of the first Index arc.

* PlayingAgainstType: Creator/ColleenClinkenbeard as the psychopatic Therestina Lifeline.

* RelationshipVoiceActor:
** Definitely NOT easy to spot unless you've been doing your research. Creator/KanaeIto, who is the seiyuu of Amu in ''Manga/ShugoChara'' is the skirt flipping Ruiko Saten. Creator/AkiToyosaki, who is [[Manga/ShugoChara Su,]] is Kazari Uiharu.
** They also play [[Manga/ToLoveRu Nana and Momo]] respectively, twin sisters.
** Also Creator/AtsushiAbe (Touma's seiyuu) is Amu's friend, Kuukai in ''Manga/ShugoChara''.
** Speaking of Creator/AkiToyosaki, her fellow seiyuus, Satomi Satou and Minako Kotobuki who played as Ritsu and Mugi respectively in ''Manga/KOn'' (which Aki also voiced in), with the former voiced Edasaki Anri, [[spoiler:one of Kiyama's students]] in Railgun, who looks like a mini Ritsu and the later voiced Mitsuko Kongo;, who is not like Mugi in anyway except being rich, beautiful and gifted with a well-endowed rack on a sexy body.
** The Tokiwadai Dorm Supervisor in Railgun (the one who always breaks Kuroko's neck) is voiced by Creator/HitomiNabatame while 'her wife' Creator/ShizukaIto voiced Kaori Kanzaki in Index.
** [[Creator/MaayaUchida Frenda Seivelun]], Saiai Kinuhata, and [[Creator/AzumiAsakura Misaki Shokuhou]] have worked together in another series called ''LightNovel/LoveChunibyoAndOtherDelusions'' as Rikka Takanashi, Shinka Nibutani, and Kumin Tsuyuri, respectively.
** Mikoto and Kuroko are [[VideoGame/CorpseParty Naomi and Seiko from Corpse Party video game series]]. Interestingly enough, Satomi Arai's Seiko also has LesYay moments with Rina Sato's Naomi in Corpse Party. To drive the point home, they even have similar speech manner.
** For English dub, [[Creator/BrittneyKarbowski Mikoto]], [[Creator/AlisonViktorin Kuroko]], [[Creator/BrinaPalencia Saten]], and [[Creator/CheramiLeigh Uiharu]] are [[Manga/FairyTail Wendy, Sherria, Juvia, and Lucy]].

* In the English dub of Railgun T:
** Creator/AmandaGish takes over voicing Kinuho Wannai from Creator/KristiKang.
** Creator/MorganBerry replaces Barrett Nash as Misuzu Misaka.
** Creator/MikaelaKrantz replaces Teri Rogers as Misaki

* NamesTheSame: Ruiko Saten's surname is the same as a very different character in ''Manga/{{NEEDLESS}}'', which led to some [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/post?tags=saten_ruiko+saten_%28needless%29&commit=Search funny fanart]].

* TalkingToHimself: Creator/BrittneyKarbowski as Misaka and the other clones. {{Justified|Trope}} since the latter were cloned based on her DNA.
