History Trivia / DarkerthanBlack

* ActingForTwo: As with any animated series, you'll find some of this among the minor and one-off characters, but the most notable instance is Sean Hennigan. His main role is Decade, but he also plays the mob boss from November 11's introduction at the beginning of episode 5. This may have been a deliberate CastingGag since [[spoiler:the mob boss and his men are the first of November 11's victims we see, and Decade and his men are [[BookEnds the last]].]]

** For Hei: Chinese Electric Batman, for pretty obvious reasons. In the second season, with the addition of WildHair and PermaStubble, he has been dubbed "Hobo Hei." Or "Heibo", if you're one of those informal types.

* NoExportForYou: The Drama [=CD=] special and the Shikoku no Hana manga was not released outside of Japan and in French-speaking countries/territories (For SNH).

** Elise Baughman as Michiru. You may know her as Pan and Sayoko Shiranagatani.

* MemeAcknowledgment: Funimation is aware of the comparisons of Hei being Batman. Jason Liebrecht acknowledges the meme and mentions in a commentary for Psycho Pass: The Movie that Hei's the closest thing to being Batman.

* UrbanLegends: Rumors have it that the show would have a OVA that centers on what happened during Heaven's War in Brazil. It never went through.

* ActorAllusion: April's Japanese voice actress, Takako Honda, dubs many Creator/HalleBerry characters, including ComicBook/{{Storm}} of ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'', with whom she shares weather-control powers and appearance.

** For Suo: {{Mary Su|e}}oh.

* UrbanLegendOfZelda: Rumors have it that the show would have a OVA that centers on what happened during Heaven's War in Brazil. It never went through.

** For Suo: [[MarySue Mary Suoh]].
** For Mina Hazuki: Japanese Lesbian [[ComicBook/{{Catwoman}} Catwoman]], due to personality and style similarities to Hei and the fact that she's a PsychoLesbian.
*** Also, [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal Lightsaber Lesbian.]]

* RetroactiveRecognition:
** November 11's dub voice is Creator/TroyBaker, better known these days as [[VideoGame/TheLastOfUs Joel]] or [[VideoGame/FarCry4 Pagan Min]].

* HeyItsThatVoice:
** Our hero is voiced by [[Manga/{{Monster}} Tenma]] in Japanese and [[Manga/DGrayMan Lavi]]/[[Manga/BlackCat Train]] in English.
** In fact there's a lot of ''Manga/DGrayMan'' voices in this one: July is Road Kamelot, Amagiri is Kanda Yu, Havoc is Lenalee and the entire Police department except for Matsumoto are voiced by people who appeared in the series (including the major characters of Bookman, Cross Marian and main character Allen Walker) in the English version. In the Japanese, Kanami Ishizaki is voiced by Allen's voice actor. It's probably harder to find characters in this series that have voice actors no way related to DGM from the sheer number.
** A lot of this is because the English dub is by Creator/{{FUNimation}}, who tend to use a few dozen voice actors most of the time. Careful listeners may also notice a decent portion of the English casts of ''LightNovel/{{Baccano}}''[[note]]In particular, Creator/JasonLiebrecht as Luck Gandor sounds exactly like Jason Liebrecht as Hei, except with a New York accent, and Todd Haberkorn's Yutaka Kouno could pretty much be Firo Prochainezo's grandson[[/note]] and ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist''.
** November 11th is also voiced by Kazuhiko Inoue, who also voices a certain copy ninja from ''Manga/{{Naruto}}''...
** Also pretty much the entire female cast of ''Manga/{{Claymore}}'' makes an appearance.
