History Trivia / LinebarrelsOfIron

* KeepCirclingTheTapes: Good luck finding the series somewhere. Funimation lost the license and no official streaming service has it either.

** Worthy of note is that, in the aforementioned ''L'', [[Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion Shinji Ikari]] is Kouichi's [[SenpaiKohai kohai]], and ends up becoming one of his best friends. It's quite interesting if you think about it, since both of them are EXTREMELY messed up kids and their series both show two very differant, realistic reactions of giving an unstable child the power to destroy the whole world.

* VideoGame/SuperRobotWars: The anime adaptation made its debut in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsL'', whilst the original manga (albeit using the voice actors and music from the anime) makes its debut in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsUX''.

** Worthy of note is that, in the aforementioned ''L'', [[Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion Shinji Ikari]] is Kouichi's [[SempaiKohai kohai]], and ends up becoming one of his best friends. It's quite interesting if you think about it, since both of them are EXTREMELY messed up kids and their series both show two very differant, realistic reactions of giving an unstable child the power to destroy the whole world.

* FanNickname: As a result of his appearance in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsL'', Jack Smith has earned the nickname of [[Anime/{{Iczer}} Iczer-4]].

** Yamashita (Hind Kind's Factor) is a boy. Yes, he's a dude. No really, the anime actually changed him to an androgynous girl for whatever the fuck reason Gonzo wanted to do that for.
** Soubi and Talisman. This is the biggest change and the one that really divided fans of the manga. Volumes 5 and 6 (which occur BEFORE the Kiriyama coup, remember this) are all devoted to his very tragic backstory and well-written recruitment by JUDA. The anime didn't put it in at all.

** Jack doesn't defect to JUDA's when Reiji betrays JUDA to side with Kiriyama. That was Gonzo being Gonzo. Also, there are two Katou generals who appear multiple times early on who never got animated. Kiriyama himself is actually outsmarted by Reiji and his father, who decides to appoint Reiji as the successor to Kiriyama Industries, not Eiji Kiriyama, his own son.

** Demtri is killed by Kiriyama's Jinrai pilots and this fact ends up coming back to haunt Kaitou's forces as Satawari (with a more subdued personality and unkempt hair) turns on them for having the killers among their ranks. He ultimately ends up a wild card in future struggles

* AdaptationalContextChange: The robot-to-fistfight duel between Kouichi and [[spoiler:a resurrected Yajima]] is present in both versions, but their only similarities are the participants, the leaping out of their robots to collide their punches and that one of the robots is Apparition. The everything else, from the cause of the fight (it's not about [[spoiler:Risako's happiness]] in the manga) to its location (a stormy night on a coast in the anime, bright daylight at Juda's base in the manga) to the outcome (Kouichi "wins" in both cases, but instead of a WhatTheHellHero speech, they reconcile then and there) is different.

* OneOfUs: The authors are big fan of ''Franchise/KamenRider'' and ''Series/{{Ultraman}}''. Just look at their [[http://www.h7.dion.ne.jp/~n_circus/ website]] which has a self-made picture of [[Series/KamenRiderOOO Mezool]] and recently, they are going to make a new ''Ultraman'' manga in a {{Seinen}} magazine.

* HeyItsThatVoice: [[CodeGeass Lelouch]] [[Creator/JunFukuyama Lamperouge]] and [[spoiler:[[Manga/{{Bleach}} Aizen]] [[Creator/ShowHayami Sousuke]]]] team up to take over the world? Now ''that's'' a scary combination.
** The English dub takes it to another level, as it features [[Manga/SgtFrog Keroro]] / [[Creator/ToddHaberkorn Death the Kid]] and [[spoiler: [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Edward Elric]] / [[Creator/VicMignogna Tamaki]]]] as the villain team up, respectively.
** In Japanese, [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Simon]] is the hero. In English, it's [[Manga/KenichiTheMightiestDisciple Kenichi]].

** Kiriyama is spared and vanishes for a time before returning as TheAtoner in a fashion reminiscent of [[TekkamanBlade Balzac]].
