History Trivia / Gate

** A more reasonable example than most; the online version of the novels had very right-wing nationalist views by the author. When Alphapolis published the printed novels, they convinced the author to [[LighterAndSofter remove or tone down those views]] since Japanese right-wing politics are controversial and very sensitive in Japan.

* CastingGag:
** Youji Itami is voiced by Creator/JunichiSuwabe, who voiced Archer in ''[[Anime/FateStayNightUnlimitedBladeWorks Fate/Stay Night]]''. As if the references to ''Fate/Stay Night'' in the series aren't numerous enough.
** In addition, Creator/HirokiYasumoto and Creator/KojiYusa voice Tomita and Yanagida respectively. Suwabe, Yasumoto and Yusa voiced Grimmjow, Chad and Gin in ''{{Manga/Bleach}}''.
** Shino Kuribayashi is voiced by Creator/MaayaUchida, who voiced Minori Koganuma from ''Literature/OutbreakCompany'', which follows a setting almost identical to ''Gate'''s, plus is still a tomboy JSDF girl that can kick some ass.
** Piña Co Lada is voiced by Creator/HarukaTomatsu. One of her previous roles, [[Literature/SwordArtOnline Asuna]], is the lieutenant of the Knights of Blood, a guild in the game she is trapped in, as well as being daughter of a rich family. Piña leads the Rose-Order of Knights, and is a princess.
** Not only is Creator/RinaHidaka voicing Sherry in the second season, Sherry is also redesigned to resemble [[Literature/SwordArtOnline a character Hidaka voiced before]].
** Meanwhile, Rory's [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld age]] and incessant [[ClingyJealousGirl clingy behavior]] towards Itami come off as this, considering that Creator/RisaTaneda voiced ''[[Anime/KanColle Ashigara]]'', who in the animated adaptation is notorious for being an OldMaid. Extra points to both roles for sounding nearly the same.
