History Trivia / TekkamanBlade

* RelationshipVoiceActor: ''II'' is one of the few times that Creator/TaraStrong (Yumi Francois/Tekkaman Hiver) and Creator/ScottMenville (Hayato) voiced roles (rare ones in anime) as close-related characters, years before they eventually end up getting together again in more famous titles, such as [[VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia Presea Combatir and Lloyd Irving]] and [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans Raven and Robin.]] (Take note that Scott's characters tend to get upgraded to more main character material compared to Tara's in these cases)

* FanNickname: "Ballsack" for Balzac -- it's used in an endearing manner more than a derogatory one, because he's a badass.

** Likely due to the fact that [[Creator/{{Studiopolis}} it's a different dubbing team]] [[note]] and one that left the original Japanese names in comparison to the original series [[/note]], in ''Tekkaman Blade II'', D-Boy and Aki are voiced by John [=DeMita=] and Julia Fletcher, rather than either David Thomas (or Bob Bergen) and Barbara Goodson respectively.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Tekkaman Evil was considered for VideoGame/TatsunokoVsCapcom early on, but was dropped because the development team wanted to focus on heroic characters. What makes this notable is that he was to appear in the ''Cross Generation'' version of the game, well before the UpdatedRerelease that eventually included Blade.
