** ''WhereWhen'', as of 2023 the latest crossover with the Ninja Turtles, turns out to be a stealth prequel to ''Senso'' (which none of the previews gave away). Ultimately it serves to account for characters being absent in ''Senso''. But [[spoiler:the death of Yukichi, who was introduced after ''Senso'' was published, can be hard to take seriously as he dies essentially due to a language barrier with the Turtles - they tell him to switch off the villain's supercomputer and he only understands that it has to be destroyed, so he stabs it with his sword, electrocuting himself.]]

One can't help wonder if Sakai was having a go at the ''Usagi Chronicles'' cartoon, as Yukichi is an {{Expy}} of its protagonist Yuichi, and as of this writing it's yet to be renewed.]]

* {{Narm}}: Despite the fact that it is clearly a parody of ''Literature/WarOfTheWorlds'' with kind of goofy aliens, Senso manages to be among the darkest stories in the series, with all the child characters now grown up, Usagi being rather bitter and cruel at times towards Tomoe for marrying another man (in an arranged political marriage, something even he acknowledges she had no say in), and [[spoiler:most of the cast dying by the end, including Usagi himself]]. However, the reveal that the heroes ultimate weapon to fight back against the alien menace is [[spoiler:explicitly a [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Gundam]] shaped like Usagi]] might be hard to take seriously, especially contrasted against the conclusion the story ultimately has.
