Go To

1* DirectedByCastMember: In the Latin American Spanish dub, Rafael Rivera was the ADR director, as well as the voice of Brandon Heat/Beyond the Grave, who also doubles as the narrator.
2* NoDubForYou: The first game's worldwide release included the original Japanese-language audio.
3* TheOtherDarrin:
4** Zell Condorbrave was voiced by Creator/BanjoGinga in ''Overdose'' but is 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.
5** Balladbird Lee was voiced by Creator/MasayaOnosaka in the first game and by Creator/TakehitoKoyasu in the anime.
6** Creator/KumiSakuma voiced Mika in the anime. After Creator/TomokoKawakami's 2008 death, Sakuma took over the character full-time beginning with ''Gungrave VR''.
7* RoleReprise:
8** With the exception of Beyond the Grave (who was TheVoiceless in the first game) and Balladbird Lee, all of the game's voice actors reprised their roles for the anime.
9** In ''G.O.R.E.'', Creator/TomokazuSeki, Creator/FumihikoTachiki and Creator/KumiSakuma reprise their respective roles of Beyond the Grave, Mika Asagi and Bunji Kugashira 13 years after their last appearance in ''VR''.
10* ScheduleSlip: ''G.O.R.E.'' was initially slated for a 2019 release before being delayed to 2020 and then subsequently again to 2022.
11* 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 was released in 2022, altogether making a ''eighteen'' year gap between "main" installments.
12* StudioHop: The first game was developed by Red Entertainment. Then, Ikusabune took over development for ''Overdose''. For ''VR'' and ''G.O.R.E'', development was instead handled by Iggymob.
13* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
14** 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 [[EnergyWeapon Frickin' Laser Beams]] and a MindRape special attack.
15** 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.
