* InspirationForTheWork: The ''Rance'' series was conceptualized when TADA decided he wanted to create an eroge in an uncommon setting, as most eroge at the time were set in the present day. To this end, he decided on a medieval fantasy setting, with [[UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist a sex-obsessed jerk as the main character]] to make it all fit together.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: ''Sengoku Rance'' was originally intended to be a more traditional RPG, with Rance being allied with the Takeda Clan instead of the Oda Clan. Shingen was originally going to be almost identical to Rance, introducing a plotline where Rance was to serve as Shingen's body double. Oda was likely ultimately chosen when the game was changed to a grand strategy game, as Owari is closer to the center of the map, allowing for more open-endedness. The scrapped body double plot element is referenced in ''Rance 01'', however, when Nami mentions growing up in the Takeda region, and remarks that Rance reminds her of her brother.

* SerendipityWritesThePlot: Rance referring to a certain appendage of his as his "Hyper Weapon" originated as a way to bypass Japanese Censorship laws. However, the line fitted his character so much that it continued being used even after the laws were repealed.
