* ActingForTwo: Creator/MeguSakuragawa voices Lumen, Joule, and [[spoiler:Mytyl]].
* BadExportForYou: The original [=3DS=] localization of the first game is notorious for having an... ''interesting'' translation job, to say the least. All of the in-stage dialogue and the vast majority of Joule Chats were cut completely, and the remaining text was re-framed with as loose of a translation job as possible to fit the general premise while leaving out all of the context and plot details. Fan backlash eventually lead to a full translation being pushed out for all re-releases of the game and as a patch for the [=3DS=] version (unless you live in Europe, which never got the patch), and care was taken for the sequel to get a full translation so it wouldn't suffer the same fate.
* CreatorsFavorite: Inti ''loves'' Gunvolt (the character). They can and are perfectly willing to remind its target audience that Gunvolt exists, and have crammed a Gunvolt reference or Gunvolt himself into nearly every single game they've produced since 2014.
* CrossdressingVoices: Creator/ChiakiOmigawa voices Xiao.
* MarketBasedTitle: In Japan, the game's title is alternatively known as ''"Armed Blue Gunvolt Sou"'', "sou" referring to a claw or talon. Anywhere else, it's simply ''"Azure Striker Gunvolt 2"''.
* MilestoneCelebration: ''Azure Striker Gunvolt 2'' is Inti Creates' 20th anniversary game.
* NamesTheSame:
** [[http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Gun_Volt Gun Volt]] is also the name of a mook in ''VideoGame/MegaManX''.
** The term "Flashfield" is used in both the English and Japanese versions of the game, but in different contexts. In the English version, Flashfield is the name for Gunvolt's self-generated electrical force field. In the Japanese version, however, Flashfield is the name of Copen's protective barrier in ''2''.
* NoExportForYou:
** The official soundtrack and accompanying vocal soundtrack were this. This went the other way when the Steam version hit, where both the OST and the vocal soundtrack were digitally published via Steam in all available countries; [=FanGamer=] also carries these soundtracks physically. However, the drama [=CDs=] still have yet to see an English release.
** Although the OVA is available worldwide on 3DS and in dual audio with subtitles, the DVD release however was only bundled in the Japanese Limited Edition release of the ''Striker Pack'' for the Nintendo Switch along with another drama CD that centers around Copen, Joule, and Quinn.
* NoDubForYou: Both Azure Striker Gunvolt games were released without an English dub. Averted with the OVA where it will be released with one using American voice actors residing in Japan.
* PreOrderBonus: As with many Japanese games, pre-ordering the Striker Pack from a specific retailer in Japan will earn you a particular, retailer-exclusive bonus. In addition, if you pre-order from Amazon, GEO, or Bic Camera/Sofmap/Kojima, you will acquire two Audiolockets and Program Codes[[note]]Which two depend on the retailer; Amazon gives "Beyond the Blue" and "Rouge Shimmer", GEO gives "Sakura Effloresence" and "A Zip to the Moon", and the latter three give "Azure Door" and "Pain from the Past"[[/note]] for Gunvolt and Copen respectively in ''2'' that allow you to play songs from the first game when you hit 1000 Kudos.
* ScheduleSlip: The [[Anime/AzureStrikerGunvolt OVA]] was originally planned for release on December 2016, but was delayed to Winter 2017, and eventually released on February 9, 2017.
* SeriesHiatus: ''Fleeting Memories'' has been on indefinite hiatus since 2016, with the story for the first season ending on a {{Cliffhanger}}.
* TalkingToHimself: Lumen and Joule, both voiced by Creator/MeguSakuragawa. [[spoiler: She also voices Mytyl, who inherits the power of both muses.]]
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** In the original draft for ''1'', [[spoiler: the bad end was the ''only'' end and had far greater consequences. Nova's death would cause the defense barrier protecting Japan to go down, enabling an invasion by foreign powers who spearhead the attack with missile strikes. Gunvolt would attempt to stop them, at which point Asimov betrays him and that's that. The ending would be Asimov grinning as the missiles struck. This missile attack would later serve as the basis for The Seven's names, which are all based on various missile systems.]]
** The "man in the butterfly mask" design that was revealed long before the second game's release is ultimately unused. It would eventually see use in the spinoff game ''Mighty Gunvolt Burst'', as the design for the GM in Beck's story.
** The original concept for ''2'' involved Copen going up against Sumeragi, which was helmed by a masked, evil Gunvolt. Gunvolt would be a boss fight in which he would use 1000 Glaives to transform, and beating him would unlock him as a playable character. While the original concept was scrapped, the idea of having a masked Gunvolt would be fused with the aforementioned scrapped design and later used in ''Mighty Gunvolt Burst'', and elements of a continued Sumeragi with an IdenticalStranger in color and powers to Gunvolt as a high-ranking member were brought in for ''Luminous Avenger iX''.
** In the aforementioned earlier concept of ''2'', Xiao was intended to be a playable character alongside Copen.
** Lola was originally going to change her human look based on the EX Weapon equipped. This turned out to be too much work to implement, and was scrapped, with only her drone form turning different for each EX Weapon. The idea was then revived for ''Luminous Avenger iX''.

The US version of the game has a good deal of the Japanese voice acting removed and there's NoDubForYou, as a consequence these bits of dialogue are missing.
