History Trivia / Gungrave

* SequelGap: Thirteen years passed between Overdose and VR, the latter of which is more of a filler game and prologue for G.O.R.E, the "true" sequel, which is slated for late 2019, altogether making a ''fifteen'' year gap between "main" installments.

* TheOtherDarrin: Zell Condorbrave was voiced by Creator/BanjoGinga in ''Overdose'' but will be voiced by Creator/AkioOtsuka come his return in ''G.O.R.E.''. It is likely that Ginga was replaced on account of having contracted COVID during the game's production, though he recovered later.

* AuthorExistenceFailure: Creator/TomokoKawakami, Mika's voice actress, passed away in the 13 year gap between Overdose and VR.

** Sherry was set to appear as a boss (named "Nekurora" / "Necrola") in the first game but didn't make the cut. She would have been a mutant boss similar to Big Daddy with FrickinLaserBeams and a MindRape special attack.

* DirectedByCastMember: In the Latin American Spanish dub, Rafael Rivera is the ADR director, and is also the voice of Brandon Heat/Beyond the Grave, who also doubles as the narrator.

** Grave's design is based on the unused concept for Gazelle the Peacemaker, a character who would have been introduced in the unreleased game ''[[Manga/{{Trigun}}]]: The Planet Gunsmoke'' as a new member of the Gung-Ho Guns. The game itself was created from the remnants of the cancelled title.
