* FanNickname: The Ancient often gets called "Raiden" because of his resemblance to the 1995 Film/MortalKombat movie's depiction of Raiden, even though the original Japanese version of the series predates the entire Franchise/MortalKombat franchise by 4 years, and the movie by 7 years. (Though the dub was airing around the same time as film's original theatrical release.)

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: This show has twice averted this trope. Many fans didn't believe ''Ronin Warriors'' would ever be released on DVD, but Bandai managed to release ''Ronin Warriors'', ''Samurai Troopers'', and the [=OVAs=] (with their own dub) on DVD in the early 2000s. Bandai opted not to keep the license alive following a full-series box set release, but Discotek Media picked it up in 2014--though their license remains limited to ''Samurai Troopers'' until legal issues surrounding the ''Ronin Warriors'' dub can be worked out, and their release of ''Samurai Troopers'' remains limited to DVD.

* TalkingToHimself: In the English dub, Michael Donovan voiced both Sage and Cye in the main series. In the OVA series a different actor took over for Sage.
* TheOtherDarrin: An extreme yet brief example occurs in the American dub. According to several sources, the entire primary cast had head colds when recording the first couple of episodes, so the studio had to use temporary replacements. As a result, viewers heard a rather obvious VocalEvolution between episodes 1 (the primary cast), 2 (the replacements), and 3 (the primary cast).
