History Trivia / Arachnid

* ScheduleSlip: The ''Blattodea'' sequel was originally teased in a ''Manga/ChoubuNoShinobi'' volume released on December 2018 with a 2019 tentative release date, but on November 2019 it was confirmed on the final ''Choubu'' volume that it will begin in January 2020 instead.

** ''Arachnid'' started out as a 2001 one-shot named ''Turis'', which is [[http://jonjonjonjon.web.fc2.com/page142.html available on the author's website]]. It matches volume 1 of ''Arachnid'', with Kumo and a not bald Suzumebachi present, but it seems to be a side-story to ''Jackals''. No biology lectures about bugs, either. Turis was introduced as a side antagonist in ''Manga/{{Jackals}}'' four years later, but her backstory was never shown in that story.

** [[http://jonjonjonjon.web.fc2.com/page142.html In the first]] ''Arachnid'' pilot available on the author's website, the heroine is called "[[Manga/{{Jackals}} Turis Flag]]". There is no Yoriko, Suzumebachi isn't bald and Turis seems to deal with the aftermath of her duel against Kumo better. There is also a notable lack of insect biology lectures.

* FanNickname: The latter [=3/4=] of ''Arachnid'' is commonly called "[[Manga/WolfGuyWolfenCrest Rape]] [[Memes/DragonBall Namek]]" because of how much of the story it spends on a single setting and how sexual assault increasingly becomes a major plot point as it goes on.
