History Trivia / ChoujuuSentaiLiveman

* TheWikiRule: Covered as part of [[http://powerrangers.wikia.com/wiki/ RangerWiki]].

* NamesTheSame: Decades later, ''VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot'' would feature a series of giant robots named Gigavolt, though those were simple minibosses while this series's Giga Volt would be a ClimaxBoss.

* ExecutiveMeddling: Liveman was originally supposed to be a three-member team through to the end, until the producers realized it was the tenth Super Sentai show since the franchise's revival with ''Series/BattleFeverJ'' and they wanted to do something special. Thus, Black Bison and Green Sai were added to the team mid-series. This caused some plot holes with previous episodes (such as the fact that Yusuke was unaware of Tetsuya's existence, despite being acquainted with Takuji's other brother Takeshi in an earlier episode). But it also led directly to the introduction of the Live Boxer and Super Live Robo, the first ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' HumongousMecha to be formed from two smaller HumongousMecha. A net positive, all in all.

* TheOtherDarrin: Hiroshi Takeda succeeded Eiichi Onoda as the show's narrator.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: As ''Liveman'' was the 10th ''Super Sentai'' starting from ''Battle Fever J'', a special episode featuring all 10 Sentai was scheduled to be aired in the final week of February. However, due to bad weather, the shooting schedule for ''Maskman'' was delayed, so there was no room to shoot the special program, and the schedule was moved up to start "Liveman" from the last week of February. The special program of the 10 Sentai, which was ultimately a glorified ClipShow, was carried over to the first episode of ''Turboranger'' the following year.

* MetaCasting: When ''Liveman'' started, Daisuke Shima was an IdolSinger with a HotBlooded rebel image, and the character of Yuusuke was written to match. Later on, under the insistence of Shima himself, Yuusuke developed into a [[TheLeader traditional leader]].

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: There was a planned Filipino adaption of the show (despite the series haven't aired in The Philippines) said by famous cosplayer Alodia Gosengfiao, saying she'll be going to Academia Island. Pinoy ''Sentai'' fans rejoiced that they'll get to see a ''Sentai'' again (even though it's an adaption), only for her to say days later that it's a false joke on everyone to promote the Animax Asia airing of ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya''. [[NiceJobBreakingItHero You just had to ruin the excitement, Alodia!]]
** An In-Universe example comes with the prototype suits which were supposed to be used for space exploration seen in the very first episode, Takuji Yano and Mari Aikawa's suits are a swallow and a dog. That would be a WildMassGuessing.
