dewicked Belly Dancer


* BellyDancer: With it being set in the Middle East during its Golden Age, it's hard to imagine that we'll see an exotic dancer more often. Heck, we even saw one of them in episode 20 and some of them in episode 2 of the 2016 [=OVA=].

* AdaptationDistillation: The themes and cultural trappings exhibited in adaptations of ''Arslan Senki'' (both the OVA and the 2015 TV anime) borrow from the longer epic poem by Firdusi, the ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shahnameh Shahnameh]] (شاهنامه‎ , "The Book of Kings")''. One of the main characters of ''Shahnameh'', Kai Khosrow (کیخسرو), was acknowledged InUniverse to be the founder of Pars. His story arc of losing his kingdom and then rightfully regaining it is also basically Arslan's current plotline. Many supporting and side characters borrow their names from some characters inside ''Shanameh'' (such as Gieve, Farangis and Queen Tahamine) with varying similarity from the originals.

** At one point Andragoras declares that Hilmes is just an imposter using a dead man's name to try to steal a kingdom for himself. While this may or may not be true, the Shah does correctly point out that Hilmes hasn't exactly presented any proof of his identity and lineage beyond his own word, which, as an officer of an enemy kingdom who stands to gain quite a lot from his story being believed, has to be considered suspect.
