History Trivia / SuperRobotWarsT

** Creator/TohruFuruya is doing double duty as [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Amuro Ray]] and Mr. Zone.

* ''Super Robot Wars T'' is, by dint of serendipity, the closest the franchise has come to having (nearly) every property involved being licensed for sale in North America prior to release since ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsW'' back in 2007. In fact, some of these were on the nose: ''Anime/ArmoredTrooperVOTOMS'' was picked up for licensing by Creator/{{HIDIVE}} roughly four months prior to the announcement of ''Terra'', while Creator/DiscotekMedia brought over the specific version of ''Anime/CaptainHarlock'' for this game in May 2017. The only properties not licensed for distribution by the time of release were ''Anime/TheBraveExpressMightGaine'' and ''Invincible Robo Tryder G7'' ("Trider G7", however, did get a release in Italy during the [=1980s=]). ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars30'' had more previously-unlicensed works in it (since ''Anime/GaoGaiGarFinal'' and ''Literature/KingOfKingsGaogaigarVSBetterman'' remained unlicensed at the time of the release of ''30'', as was ''Anime/BravePoliceJDecker'').

* ''Super Robot Wars T'' marks [[SwanSong the final vocal performance]] for Creator/MakioInoue, who returned to portray Anime/CaptainHarlock, in any medium. Once voice-over production was finished, Inoue permanently retired until his death on November 29, 2019.

** Among the main supporting cast of ''[[Anime/CaptainHarlock Arcadia of my Youth - Endless Orbit SSX]]'' are Creator/KeiTomiyama (Tochiro Oyama) and Creator/HiromiTsuru (Revi), both of whom had passed away by the time voice recordings began. While Tochiro does appear, with Creator/KoichiYamadera taking Tomiyama's place, Revi does not have any voiced lines, only appearing in cut-scenes.

** From the same entry, in a case that overlaps with TheOtherDarrin, Tochiro Oyama's lines for the game are provided by Creator/KoichiYamadera, who previously voiced him in the mini-series ''Harlock Saga'' and ''Anime/QueenEmeraldas'' OriginalVideoAnimation.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: According to ''Super Robot Wars'' series producer Takenobu Terada, the original 1978 ''[[Anime/CaptainHarlock Space Pirate Captain Harlock]]'' was considered, but ''T'' producer Shouhei Mogami wanted ''Arcadia of my Youth''. The team eventually settled on the latter as the titular ''Arcadia'' battleship is more recognizable by fans due to its green color, including TheCameo in ''Manga/GalaxyExpress999''.

* TalkingToHimself:
** An inevitability with Creator/NobuyukiHiyama as he voices the protagonists of ''Might Gaine'' and ''[[Anime/{{GaoGaiGar}} The King of Braves GaoGaiGar]]''.
** Likewise, Creator/ShigeruNakahara for ''Anime/AuraBattlerDunbine'' due to a mixture of [[spoiler:{{Reincarnation}} and MyFutureSelfAndMe]] for Show Zama and Shion Zaba.
** Creator/KoichiYamadera pulls quadruple duty as [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Gyunei Guss]], [[Anime/MartianSuccessorNadesico Hokushin]], Spike Spiegel, and Tochiro Oyama; %%on the same page, Creator/NorioWakamoto with [[Anime/GunBuster Koichiro Ota]], [[Anime/AuraBattlerDunbine Allen Brady]], and [[Anime/CowboyBebop Vicious]].
** Once again, Creator/HochuOtsuka gets to do double duty with ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' characters [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Yazan Gable]] and [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Chibodee Crocket]], as will Creator/KappeiYamaguchi for [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Sai Saici]] and [[Manga/MobileSuitCrossboneGundam Tobia Arronax]].
** Creator/MariaKawamura reprises her roles as [[Anime/GunBuster Jung Freud]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Quess Paraya]] and [[Anime/AuraBattlerDunbine Cham Huau]].
** Creator/TohruFuruya is doing double duty as [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Amuro Ray]] and Mr. Zone.
** Creator/MegumiOgata finally could get to talk to herself via [[Manga/MagicKnightRayearth Eagle Vision and Emeraude]], since Eagle got an AdaptationalEarlyAppearance and appearing before Emeraude bit the dust, and could even fight her.
** Creator/KonamiYoshida ends up having to pull a double-duty with both [[Manga/MagicKnightRayearth Umi Ryuuzaki]] and [[Anime/GaoGaiGar the female half of the Z-Master]] (she actually had more roles in the latter, but only that part was voiced here)
** In the Expansion Pack, due to voicing originals in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsV'', Creator/UmekaShoji gets to do this trope as a heroine (Sagiri) and as a villain ([[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsV Jamie]])

** {{Downplayed}} with ''Anime/CowboyBebop'', ''Manga/MagicKnightRayearth'' and ''Arcadia of my Youth'': none of them were unpopular (though ''Arcadia'', in particular, was perhaps rather obscure by the time of announcement, especially to recent generations of Anglophone anime fans), but after their respective runs and some old SpinOff video games, they didn't get any new, substantial media entries in the [=2000s=] and early [=2010s=], staying as {{Cult Classic}}s, but their announcement in ''T'' re-started interest[[note]]In the case of ''Cowboy Bebop'', it gets further bumped thanks to Creator/{{Netflix}} announcing [[Series/CowboyBebop a live-action adaptation]] shortly after its inclusion for this game was revealed[[/note]].

* RelationshipVoiceActor: One of the protagonists, [[Creator/TakeshiKusao Saizo]], and the main rival, [[Creator/YukoNagashima Rudi]], are voiced by two ''VideoGame/SamuraiWarriors'' alumnus where they voiced actual master-servant pair, UsefulNotes/SanadaYukimura and Kunoichi.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: According to ''Super Robot Wars'' series producer Takenobu Terada, the original 1978 ''[[Anime/CaptainHarlock Space Pirate Captain Harlock]]'' was considered, but ''T'' producer Shouhei Mogami wanted ''Arcadia of my Youth''. The team eventually settled on the latter as the titular ''Arcadia'' battleship is more recognizable by fans due to its green color, including TheCameo in ''Manga/GalaxyExpress999''.

* NamesTheSame:
** There are two girls named "Hikaru": if the surname is "[[Manga/MagicKnightRayearth Shidou]]", she's the younger Magic Knight of Fire; if it's "[[Anime/MartianSuccessorNadesico Amano]]", she's the older Aestevalis pilot and a YaoiFangirl. This case is actually used InUniverse during the "Beautiful Criminals" DownloadableContent; when Hikaru (Amano) declares herself "Miss T3", Izumi snarks that she's confusing herself with T3's other Hikaru (Shidou).
** For further surname shenanigans, when it comes to Amano, is it Hikaru or [[Anime/{{Gunbuster}} Kazumi]]? Likewise, [[Anime/CowboyBebop Spike]] has the same surname used for the "Spiegel Gundam" belonging to [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Schwarz Bruder]] (Japan-exclusive, however; in the localization, this is not the case since [[DubNameChange the name used is the "Shadow Gundam"]]).
