* GodCreatedCanonForeigner: The Shadow Bladers and the Justice Five are creations by Takao Aoki, but adjusted by the animation teams. The non-possessed Shadow Bladers were aged down as the script was adjusted and somewhere along the road the fifth member was replaced for Daichi's inclusion. Of the Justice Five, Garland and Ming-Ming got a RaceLift, which in the former's case might explain why his family is curiously paler, and Brooklyn got redesigned from Zeo-but-with-spiky-hair to what he ended up as.

*** Episodes 21-27 feature an ItsAllUpstairsFromHere plot in which the Bladebreakers fight Team Psykick on each level. The initial idea was for the Bladebreakers to fight other bladers on each level before facing the elite team upstairs. Aoki has only shared his favorite "two" scrapped characters: Kurio, a [[Ventriloquism ventriloquist]] who'd wield a spider-type bit-beast that in the anime got wielded by Net, and a trio of [[CommediaDellArte pierrots]] who'd have no bit-beasts.

to:

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** [[http://sakura2factory.web.fc2.com/bakubei.html On his website]], Takao Aoki shares various details about the production of the manga and the anime.
*** Various color schemes were altered. Notable examples are the mention of Michael's and Emily's red and pink hair, which did make it into one video game before being changed.
*** The Saint Shields' bit-beasts were switched around. Vanishing Moot was designed for Ozma, but it was deemed unfit for him so Flash Leopard was created. Yusuf was supposed to be the owner of Sharkrash, which is why his hair resembles a shark fin. Sharkrash, then, was passed on to Mariam, who was originally going to wield Wildfox, the fenec-type bit-beast that in the anime got wielded by Foxy. Her hightail was meant to evoke a fox's tail. Dunga always had Voltic Ape.
*** Although one might think the anime changed Zeo's backstory from semi-secretly being Leon to secretly being ZO, this is untrue. Zeo was always meant to be a robot, but it was changed for the manga because Aoki got some unfavorable feedback.
*** Gordo was originally going to be named "Gardo"
*** Episodes 21-27 feature an ItsAllUpstairsFromHere plot in which the Bladebreakers fight Team Psykick on each level.

*** The above explains the design origins of the fennec and spider bit-beasts extracted from the rock by Doctor K, which in turn raises questions for the kamaitachi, tyrannosaurus, and kraken. It follows they were for scrapped bladers too, possibly more meant for the tower.
*** There are many differences between the manga version and the movie version of ''Fierce Battle''. The Shadow Bladers start out as bladers and teens rather than little children who don't blade, Hitoshi is with the Bladebreakers instead of Keiko, the Bladebreakers befriended the Shadow Bladers before they were possessed, etc. In addition, the website shows that a counterpart for Daichi was considered before it became Daichi himself who got brainwashed into joining the Shadow Bladers.
