An artist of ecchi stuff having done porn doujins before is not surprising enough for He Also Did


* HeAlsoDid:
** The Guren no Hibi manga is drawn by Aoi Nanabu (Circle name BLUEMAGE), an artist known for doing hentai doujin with very shapely characters (perfect fit for Senran Kagura). An interesting note is that one of his favorite characters is [[Franchise/TouhouProject Yuuka]], whom Hikage resembles considerably. It's believed a contract is stopping him from doing doujins of the series [[labelnote:With that said...]]Aoi Nanabu did draw an obviously NSFW image of a topless Hikage that can be found pretty easily online. Though it's assumed he drew that before he got the job[[/labelnote]].
** The series' artist, Yaegashi Nan, has drawn hentai and other NSFW material before and during Senran Kagura's incarnation.

Takaki himself was addressed about the issue of alienating people with the series' heavy focus on {{fanservice}} during an E3 2015 interview with ''Technology Tell'' and stated that he honestly doesn't care for those who are turned off by the fanservice, as long as he gets to make the games for him and fans to enjoy.

** On their official Website/Tumblr, XSEED mentioned that ''Shinovi Versus'' was planned to have an English dub, but the number of characters would have made things expensive for the team. Not to mention as noted above the premise of the series made it uncomfortable.

Names The Same is no longer a trope


* NamesTheSame:
** ''Senran Kagura'' borrows a lot of names common to Ninja legends. But this entry is not about that. The ending theme of the anime adaptation is titled '''Fighting Dreamer''', which is one word shy of an opening theme of [[Manga/{{Naruto}} a certain famous ninja anime.]]
*** Speaking of ''Naruto'', Hikage's deceased mentor, Hinata, shares her name with one of Naruto's classmates, [[OfficialCouple who eventually becomes his wife]].
** Also, '''Peach Beach''' Splash. Are we talking about ''Senran Kagura'''s upcoming 2017 release or a race course from ''VideoGame/MarioKartDoubleDash''?

* FanNickname:
** Femtaro, Jotits, or Daijotaro for Daidouji, since her transformed state is essentially one giant expy of [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure Jotaro Kujo]].
** All the girls in the series are referred to as 'Senrans', while the male characters are known as 'Menrans'. Some do use the latter to describe genderswappened versions of the girls.
** Hibbers (Hibari), Yaggers (Yagyu), Snake (Hikage), Cat/Flatcat (Mirai) and Sweetie Neetie (Murasaki) are some notable mentions.
** Ditto "Tanlines [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Seven Swords/G]]" for Homura. She even has [[TurnsRed Trans-Am]]!
** Fans took one look at ''Peach Beach Splash'' and immediately declared it was "''VideoGame/{{Splatoon}}'' with Boobs", and even joked about it being a sequel to ''Splatoon'' before that game [[VideoGame/Splatoon2 got an actual sequel]].
** ''Burst Re:Newal'', due to it's reusing of assets to remake an earlier game, has been referred to by fans (particularly on the Western side) as ''Senran Kagura: [[VideoGame/Yakuza1 Kiwami]]''.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: In late March 2021, the Dead or Alive DLC for Estival Versus was removed from the PSN and Steam due to the licensing rights expiring. This means that if you didn't download Ayane beforehand, you're SOL. It remains to be seen whether this fate will eventually befall the Ikki Tousen DLC, or the crossover DLC for Peach Beach Splash.

* ActorAllusion:
** Two in the dub relating to Katsuragi:
*** At one point Katsuragi lets out an excited, "Yahoo!" Hmm... [[Anime/SoulEater What other ninja voiced by]] Creator/BrittneyKarbowski [[Anime/SoulEater said that...]]
*** In addition, Katsuragi is a [[BlowYouAway wind-using]] [[MagicByAnyOtherName "ninja"]] with a [[InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons dragon motif]]. Creator/BrittneyKarbowski did ''[[Manga/FairyTail another]]'' wind-using dragon [[KungFuWizard warrior]]...[[ACupAngst who would honestly be jealous of Kat's well-endowed figure]]...
** While originally glossed over, Ryouki's ''Peach Beach Splash'' bio points out that [[Creator/KikukoInoue she is eternally 17 years old]] due of her being dead.

** Tip of the iceberg, it seems; increased censorship from Sony on all of their games in both America and Japan has caused Marvelous to "seriously reconsider" how fanservice is dealt with from the seventh game onward. This didn't sit well with Takaki, who left the company in March 2019 leaving ''7EVEN'' stuck in DevelopmentHell for the time being.
