History Trivia / Bastard1988

* ScheduleSlip: Hagiwara openly admits he has a bad case of this, which is why he often [[Main/WritingByTheSeatOfYourPants has to come up with things on the fly]] to continue the story as quickly as possible before hitting the deadline, thanks in no small part to his [[Main/ThePerfectionist perfectionism]]. It's for this reason that ''Bastard!!'' got serialized in Shonen Jump's quarterly imprint ''Weekly Shonen Jump Specials'' at an irregular schedule for much of Main/TheNineties; to give him more to time to work on the manga. After a brief return to regular Shonen Jump in 1997 ([[Main/RunningGag still on an irregular schedule]]), ''Bastard!!'' eventually made a [[{{Main/Pun}} jump]] to the Seinen-aimed ''Ultra Jump'' in 2000, which gave him even more leeway thanks to being monthly. And it shows in his art quality. Despite all of that though, the manga still ended up being published in, [[Main/OverlyLongGag you guessed it]], irregular schedule.

* GeorgeLucasAlteredVersion: This was the selling point of the ''kanzenban''-styled ''Bastard!! Complete Edition'' released in 2000, in which Hagiwara updates the art to be more in-line with his more recent art work; it started off simple with better looking backgrounds to straight up redrawing the characters in his new style. This release serves as the basis for [[Creator/VizMedia Viz Media's]] release of ''Bastard!!'' manga.

* FanNickname: Several characters have been compared to another character who were created after ''Bastard!!'' began its publication. Many of these stems from visual similarities:

** "{{Manga/Inuyasha}}" for Dark Schneider, as both characters features long white hair and canine teeth. Although this comparison only comes from the Inuyasha fandom, thanks to the 2022 anime's teaser catching their interests.

* FanNickname:
** "Ninja [[{{Manga/Berserk}} Guts]]" for Gara, due to his visual similarities to a certain Black Swordsman. Ironically, Gara predates Guts and unlike the latter he can regrow his arm.

* TheOtherDarrin: Let's just say pretty much every medium ''Bastard!!'' has been adapted to has a different voice cast in each one.

* PromotedFanboy: In the Bastard!! livestream on Warner Bros. Japan's Website/{{YouTube}} channel, Creator/KishowTaniyama and Creator/HirokiYasumoto admitted that they were fans of the series long before being cast as Dark Schneider and Ninja Master Gara respectively.
