History Trivia / TalesOfTheDekuverse

** During "Pikachu vs. Blanka", the students make reference to the {{meme}} that [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Ash]] is an [[NotAllowedToGrowUp "immortal ten year old"]], and state that even in their era, he's ''still'' 10 years old and the protagonist of the series after several ''hundred'' more seasons. ''Anime/PokemonJourneys'' however, serving as Seasons 23-25, would be Ash's ''[[EndOfAnAge final season]]'' [[spoiler:after finally becoming the World Champion]], with the next season based on ''VideoGame/PokemonScarletAndViolet'', ''Anime/PokemonHorizonsTheSeries'', focusing on a new protagonist, Liko. Zayden himself would comment on this in the AN for the "Pokemon Battle Royale", giving the {{hand wave}} that, [[ForWantOfANail due to the advent of Quirks causing chaos]], Ash ''may'' have been left protag longer than he did in reality.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: In ''MHA watches Death Battle'', Zayden had originally intended the aphrodisiac subplot to last longer than it did, wanting Izuku to be under it's effects for the entirety of the viewing, and only be fixed later in the day. Following complaints of the treatment Kaminari and Mineta were receiving leading to HumorDissonance and the Sisterhood coming across as too unsympathetic throughout the subplot however, Zayden decided to accelerate the timetable, having the effects of the aphrodisiac cured earlier and the girls undergoing a HeelRealization earlier.

''Anime/PokemonJourneys'' however, serving as Seasons 23-25, would be Ash's ''[[EndOfAnAge final season]]'' [[spoiler:after finally becoming the World Champion]], with the next season, based on ''VideoGame/PokemonScarletAndViolet'', focusing on a new pair of protagonists, Liko and Roy.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: For a long time, Zayden made it clear that even if the readers didn't find his treatment of [[TheChewToy Kaminari and Mineta]] to be [[DudeNotFunny funny]], ''he'' did, and would gladly continue to up the amount [[TakeThatAudience just to spite the detractors]]. Nor did he care for those claiming he was subjecting the members of the Sisterhood to "derailment" in the name of said "humor". Around the time of "Ivy Valentine vs. Black Orchid" however, Zayden appears to have 180'd, toning down the level of pain Kaminari and Mineta get dealt, giving them moments that aren't related solely to them being perverts, and having the Sisterhood realize they [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone screwed up]] and were ''way'' past the line, being taken to task for their behavior by Midnight and Nedzu shortly after. While Zayden himself hasn't commented on it, the reviews at the least lean somewhat more positively towards this change and consider it appropriate course correction.

** The rationale behind making Monoma's counterparts be the more villainous Starscream, in "Starscream vs. Rainbow Dash", and Bass, in "Dr. Eggman vs. Dr. Wily", was that Zayden was convinced Monoma was the U.A. Traitor, and was using said counterparts as an InUniverse reason for Nedzu to suspect him. [[spoiler:The actual U.A. Traitor would later be revealed to be Aoyama, having been ForcedIntoEvil so he could protect his parents after they owed All For One a debt for giving Aoyama a Quirk.]] This revelation would be implemented into the fic itself by having their thoughts shown to make clear they are a RegretfulTraitor, with any subsequent suspicions of Monoma instead serving as a RedHerring.

-->'''Zayden:''' Also, yes, I got the news that Ash is leaving the Pokémon anime as the protagonist, which makes my earlier joke in Pikachu vs Blanka rather dated, but hey, this a world where Quirks had appeared roughly around our modern time, theoretically at least, and the resulting chaos perhaps had changes different from ours, like Ash still the protagonist to this day.

* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: In "Goku vs. Superman", Zayden mistakenly attributes Goku's knowledge of the Instant Transmission to King Kai, claiming he learned it alongside the Kaio Ken and the Spirit Bomb. Goku actually learned the Instant Transmission on Planet Yardrat, the natives having taught Goku after nursing him back to health following the death of Frieza and destruction of Planet Namek. King Kai's only claim of even knowing how to perform Instant Transmission came from a {{filler}} moment in the anime adaptation of the Cell Games Saga.

* TrollingCreator: Zayden doesn't hesitate to read the comments and reviews left, and is fully aware of how many people think they take the PervertRevengeMode on Kaminari and Mineta [[DudeNotFunny too far]]. So what does he do? ''Do it even more!'' As Zayden put themselves in the author's note for "Ryu Hayabusa vs. Strider Hiryu":

-->'''Zayden:''' Like many have already known, this story was also on the other fanfic website, Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn, until I was forced to [[RougeAnglesOfSatin removed]] it from said website after copyright allegations from a complaint, whether by the site itself or by some snitching douche I don't know. But with this unfortunate incident, ''Welcome to the MCU'' will now be exclusively on FFN, and its sister series, ''MHA Watches Death Battle'' will be an [=AO3=] exclusive.

* ChannelHop: Due to [=FFN=]'s policy on reaction fics and the use of copyrighted material outside of normal fanfiction standards, Zayden has both ''MHA Watches Death Battle'' and ''MHA Watches the MCU'' on Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn in case the moderators on the former decide to remove his stories.
