1* CastingGag: Hwang Yang Long's [[Creator/KazuhikoInoue voice actor]] is notorious in Japan for voicing (at least in the past) {{Bruce Lee Clone}}s in many Japanese dubs of Chinese and Hong Kong films.
2* FanTranslation: An English translation of ''The Lord of Elemental'' is available from Aeon Genesis.
3* NoExportForYou: Sad, but true; international fans will never see the original release of ''The Lord of Elemental'', nor the Platform/NintendoDS remake; even ''Revelation of Evil God'' includes more extensions to the remake. It's unlikely ''Pride of Justice'' will be seen anytime soon, if at all, due to FranchiseKiller. Still, there ''is'' a Story Guide which allows players to know what's going on in Part 1 of ''The Lord of Elemental'', as well as the Aeon Genesis FanTranslation of the original Platform/SuperFamicom version, but that's about it. However, with Creator/BandaiNamcoEntertainment making efforts into translating ''Super Robot Wars'' games starting with ''The Moon Dwellers'', while improving them in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsV'' and ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsX'' (where Masaki Andoh makes a DownloadableContent cameo), there may be a chance for Bandai Namco to compile the whole saga into one game in the future.
4* NonSingingVoice: Members of Music/JAMProject sing Masaki's {{Leitmotif}}.
5* PlayingAgainstType
6** Masaki is completely against Creator/HikaruMidorikawa and his standard character archetypes (like, say, [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Heero Yuy]] or [[VideoGame/TalesOfDestiny Leon Magnus]]).
7** As opposed to most of the calculating, sauve villainous roles Creator/ShowHayami is better known for, Rodney can be a bit too scatter-brained and easy-going.
8*** Have you forgotten [[Anime/HeavyMetalLGaim Gavlet Gablae]]?
9* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
10** There were plans for a second ''Super Robot Wars Gaiden'' game in the 1990s, but the project was cancelled in favor of ''Super Robot Wars F''.
11** Xenia was supposed to pilot the Nols Ray in the ''Second Original Generation'', complete with a SuperMovePortraitAttack in the "Angel Whisper" attack. Although Xenia is cut due to time constraints, Monica takes her place, instead.
