History Trivia / SuperRobotWarsZ

* It appears the Zero System is also part of the plans created by [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Aeolia Schenberg]]. This implies the system was designed over 200 years ago along with [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 VEDA]]. In a way, this appears to be a {{Homage}} to the Creator/IsaacAsimov ''{{Literature/Foundation}}'' trilogy, where the Zero System functions as the "Second Foundation" or backup for VEDA should the plan ever get derailed. This is displayed in Scenario 58 of the "Trust Zero" Route: when Tieria regains control of VEDA, Ribbons quickly re-boards his [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Reborns Gundam]] and destroys the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Seravee Gundam]] before Tieria can finish using the machine's "Trial System" to shut down all enemy [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Gagas]]. Heero uses the Zero System to interface with VEDA and disable the Gagas.

*** Not to mention issues of who runs the ''Nahel Argama'', or how do you have an adult Ple Twelve while One and Two are still children?

* ActorAllusion: The Earth Federation and [[Anime/UFORoboGrendizer Vegan Empire]] {{Mook}}s in ''Z'' are all voiced by NobuyukiHiyama, and will often quote "Courage won't work here!", a reference to his earlier role as the Gai Shishiou from ''Anime/GaoGaiGar''.

** In ''Hakai-hen'', Creator/IsshinChiba voices [[Anime/ArmoredTrooperVotoms Baiman]] in place of the late Creator/KanetoShiozawa, whilst Saisei-hen has Creator/KentaMiyake in take of the roles of [[Anime/ArmoredTrooperVotoms Bully]] and [[Manga/GetterRobo Stinger]] from the late Creator/DaisukeGori.

* [[Anime/MacrossFrontier Brera]] survives by canon in this continuity due to his Brainwashed event played out a lot early which also prevent him from performing HeroicSacrifice like he did in the movie.

*** Crowe Broust, ''CodeGeass''

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eiMViXkAQE One scenario]] involves a gladiatorial fight between [[CodeGeass Kallen Kozuki in her red RPI-11 Glasgow]] and [[Anime/ArmoredTrooperVotoms Chirico Cuvie in his comparatively inferior ATM-09-ST Scopedog]]. [[CurbStompBattle It ends against Kallen's favor]].

* [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Lord Genome]] and Emperor Zul state they both are aware of the power of [[CodeGeass Geass when they fight Zero]], even mentioning it's the "Power of Kings". Lord Genome [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1lzW2zP71E also mentions]] that [[Anime/ShinMazinger Mazinger]] looks like Zeus and talks about the Shin Getter.

* Heero is the only non-''Code Geass'' protagonist to know Zero's identity is [[CodeGeass Lelouch Lamperouge]] before the big reveal. When [[CodeGeass Jeremiah Gottwald]] returns in Scenario 38, Heero and the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Wing Gundam Zero]] is the only unit with the ''Code Geass'' cast while everyone else, including the rest of the ''Gundam Wing'' characters, head to the Dark Continent.
** [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Saji Crossroad]] is the second person that comes closest to learning of Zero's identity thanks to his job delivery pizza to [[CodeGeass Ashford Academy]] and C.C., but never actively gets any concrete evidence. Also, he's aware something is up with [[CodeGeass Rolo Lamperouge]], because having left the academy following the end of ''Hakai-hen'', his memories weren't rewritten, thus he recalls [[CodeGeass Nunnally Lamperouge]] is Lelouch's sister, but he decides to keep this to himself out of nervousness, and also since he has no idea what it means.

** Charles and [[CodeGeass V.V.]] aim to [[AssimilationPlot convert all of humanity into a single consciousness]] so they can survive it.

* Kira has unique battle dialogue (while attacking and evading, possibly taking damage, too) when fighting [[CodeGeass Gino Weinberg]] and [[Anime/MacrossFrontier Brera Stern]], where he refers to them by name; Gino returns the favor (instead, he refers to Kira by his full name). All three characters are voiced by Creator/SoichiroHoshi.

* When the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWingEndlessWaltz Mariemeia Army]] kidnaps [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWingEndlessWaltz Relena Darlian]], they also take with them [[CodeGeass Nunnally vi Britannia]]. This leads to Zero and [[CodeGeass Suzaku Kururugi]] infiltrating the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWingEndlessWaltz Brussels Presidential Bunker]] and saving the hostages.

** Files uncovered after ''Z'' was hacked include Amuro's voice files for supporting [[Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam Usso Evin]] and [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ Judau Ashta]] in combat. Considering the things [=SRW=] producer Terada has said in the annoucement of ''Hakai-hen'', both were probably considered, but only ''Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam'' is implied to be in a future game and ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ'' seems to have been dropped completely due to story issues (it can't happen if the ''[[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam: A New Translation]]'' {{Compilation Movie}}s occur[[note]]Nor ''should'' it happen, as ''Jigoku-hen'' uses the ''Char's Counterattack'' and ''Gundam Unicorn'' version of Neo Zeon instead of the ''ZZ'' original faction[[/note]]) and the agenda BandaiNamcoEntertainment and Creator/{{Sunrise}} has for it.

Heero uses the Zero System to interface with VEDA and disable the Gagas.

* [[Anime/GenesisOfAquarion Pierre]] is a big [[{{Anime//Macross 7}} Basara Nekki and Fire Bomber]] fan. This is because Ozma lent Pierre his Fire Bomber CD collection.

* Like the [[{[Anime/Macross7}} Protodevlin]], Dimensional Beasts are affected by [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awAi36JjFiQ Basara's singing]], damaging them in the process. Likewise, the [[Anime/MacrossFrontier Vajra]] are demoralized by Basara's songs; this explains why [[Anime/MacrossFrontier Grace O'Connor]] loses control over [[Anime/MacrossFrontier Ranka Lee]] in the ''Macross Frontier'' finale. In regards to Gaioh, whatever Basara's songs are doing is heavily affecting his abilities to control dimensional energies.

* [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Ribbons Almark]] has [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vb4BP3VNlsA character-specific dialogue]] for Kamille, [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Quattro Bagina]] ("Or should I say 'Char Aznable'?"), Amuro ([[TalkingToHimself several unique battle quotes directly referencing him]]), Heero (though he's just talking about the "Zero System"), the colony Gundams as a whole, the [[Anime/AfterWarGundamX Gundam DX]] and Anime/TurnAGundam (he refers to them as the "world-destroying Gundams"), the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny Destiny, Strike Freedom and Infinite Justice]] (he brings back the "Freedom, Justice, Destiny" motive The Edel and The Edel Bernal had back in ''Z''), Shinn and [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny Kira Yamato]]. Note that Ribbons refers to Amuro, Kamille, Shinn and Kira by their full names.

* [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Lord Genome]] and Emperor Zul state they both are aware of the power of [[CodeGeass Geass when they fight Zero]], even mentioning it's the "Power of Kings". Lord Genome [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1lzW2zP71E also mentions]] that [[Anime/ShinMazinger Mazinger]] looks like Zeus and talks about the Shin Getter.

*** ''TengenToppaGurrenLagann''

* In a save-quit intermission conversation between [[Anime/MacrossFrontier Ozma Lee]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Johann Trinity]] and [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Kamina]], they comment on how they're always stuck with a little brother/sister. All three characters are voiced by the [[Creator/KatsuyukiKonishi same voice person]].

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duf_39yHrnE Rather than pilot the combined Ganmen via the first movie]] (only [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Viral]] commands it), the [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Four Supreme Generals]] pilot their respective {{Ace Custom}}s.

* ''Gurren Lagann'' uses an original story to its plot involvement in ''Saisei-hen'' (Banpresto didn't use the TV or the movie endings: the original director made a new, unresolved conclusion exclusively for this game). In Scenario 54, [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Simon]] uses the titular HumongousMecha to rescue [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Nia]] from the [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Anti-Spiral]], who uses a unit called the "[[EvilKnockOff Anti-Gurren Lagann]]". The [[MidSeasonUpgrade Arc Gurren Lagann]] only appears as a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOjCf2NR4dY final attack]] for the Gurren Lagann, while the [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Super Galactic Gurren Lagann]] does not appear until ''Jigoku-hen''.

* In the [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Alternate Space]] [[LotusEaterMachine Labyrinth]], Z-BLUE experiences their idealized world. In a twist, the Labyrinth forces ''Gundam'' characters to experience nightmares; for the most part, these are the worst elements from their shows' respective storylines:

* As per its series, the eponymous TengenToppaGurrenLagann is the size of a galaxy. To justify how the rest of Z-BLUE can fight the Anti-Spiral and the similarly, galaxy-sized [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Grand Zeboma]], [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Spiral Power]] affects all of their respective HumongousMecha, rendering them into galaxy-sized versions of their normal units. This is designated in-game with an infinity symbol as unit size.

** "[[Anime/CodeGeass Guren]]" and "[[GurrenLagann Gurren]]" are similar enough that Kallen and Kamina fight over the naming rights when they first meet.

* HeyItsThatVoice
** The Edel Bernal is [[VisualNovel/SchoolDays Makoto Itou]]; the people at [=NicoNicoDouga=] had a field day with this.
** Gaioh is [[Anime/SoulEater Lord Death]]
** Shiony Regis is [[Manga/ElfenLied Lucy]]; also shares the same voice with [[Anime/GenesisOfAquarion Reika/Hong Lihua]] and [[Anime/MacrossFrontier Catherine Glass]], [[TalkingToHimself who are also present]] in ''Hakai-hen''.
** Marguerite Pistail is [[VideoGame/SoulSeries Taki]]
** It appears [[VideoGame/ModernWarfare Soap]] is now in command of an Eldritch Abomination.
** [[Creator/RyotaroOkiayu Saldias]] is Manga/{{Toriko}}, and he works for [[Creator/DaisukeKishio Komatsu]].
** From protagonist to villain, Barbiel is Van Flyheight.

* [[Anime/MacrossFrontier Brera]] is survive by canon in this continuity due to his Brainwashed event played out a lot early which also prevent him to perform HeroicSacrifice like he did in the movie.

* Nono references original Getter Robo manga by mentioning there then must be an alternate world where Ryouma, Hayato and Benkei went to school as teenagers.

** Marguerite Pistail is [[SoulCalibur Taki]]

** Gaioh is [[SoulEater Lord Death]]

*** ''ShinMazinger'', ''[[Manga/GetterRobo Shin Getter Robo]]'', ''Anime/GodMars'', ''Invincible Robo Trider G7'', ''Anime/DaiGuard'', ''[[Anime/{{Gigantor}} New Tetsujin 28-go]]'', ''Anime/DancougarNova''

* [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Lord Genome]] and Emperor Zul state they both are aware of the power of [[CodeGeass Geass when they fight Zero]], even mentioning it's the "Power of Kings". Lord Genome [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1lzW2zP71E also mentions]] that [[ShinMazinger Mazinger]] looks like Zeus and talks about the Shin Getter.

* The Kedora event from ''Shin Mazinger'' traps every ZEXIS member in their dreams, not just [[ShinMazinger Baron Ashura and Kouji Kabuto]]. This is why various events from each respective series occur.

** [[ShinMazinger Dr. Hell]] wants to conquer the ADW so he can use all of Earth's means to fight against it.

** ''RebuildOfEvangelion'' Universe: ''Rebuild of Evangelion''

* As a parallel to his ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha'' counterpart, [[RebuildOfEvangelion Shinji Ikari]] converses with [[Anime/AquarionEvol Mikono Suzushiro]] about feeling "useless", yet Z-BLUE actively praises Shinji's efforts, such as the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnHlOjKcGVY&feature=gp-n-y fight]] against [[RebuildOfEvangelion Ramiel]]. [[RebuildOfEvangelion Misato Katsuragi]], who's usually around with the ''Dai-Guard'' characters, has [[Anime/DaiGuard Shunsuke Akagi]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShmegGI0IsA become]] Shinji's BigBrotherMentor in ''Jigoku-hen''.

* ''Jigoku-hen'' is the first [=SRW=] since ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsCompact'' where the FinalBoss is not an OriginalGeneration ([[Characters/SuperRobotWarsZ Shikuu]] is the PostFinalBoss), but the Anti-Spiral with the Grand Zamboa, due to it being the authority behind a "battalion" of the Ba'al, having half of the antagonists in the game under its command. Essentially, ''Jigoku-hen'' is a lead-up to the encounter with the Anti-Spiral.
