1 | * LateExportForYou: In the United States, Discotek Media announced in 2018 that [[http://tokusatsunetwork.com/2018/08/juspion-metal-hero-series-to-be-released-in-america/ they would release all 46 episodes on Blu-Ray]], which would come to fruition the next year, decades after the series' original release in Japan. |
2 | * PopStarComposer: The theme song singer, Ai Takano, was a very famous rock singer/drummer during the later '60s/early '70s. |
3 | * RealLifeWritesThePlot: Boomerang was meant to stick around as a recurring cast member. However during shooting Hiroshi Watari had to leave for leg surgery forcing the character to disappear from the show. As a compromise for what happened, Toei cast him as the lead in ''[[Series/JikuuSenshiSpielban Spielban]]''. |
4 | * TheMerch: Even today, Juspion gets tons of merchandise released in Brazil. Including two [[ComicBookAdaptation comic adaptions]] (one of which has him team with his successor Spielban!). One of the first was a doll [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Eb9_zA4XkAIhh5e.jpg that was visibly]] Franchise/RoboCop [[PropRecycling painted in Juspion colors]] ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=059VLP-VRfw a sculptor for the company admitted]] that they wanted something to cash in until the molds for a more faithful toyline were built, something that took two months). |
5 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen |
6 | ** The show was intended to be a full-fledged space opera, with each episode set in a new alien planet as Juspion traveled from world to world. This was quickly dropped with Juspion arriving on Earth in the fourth episode. |
7 | ** One of the names proposed to the character, in an early stage of the pre-production, would be ''Deniro'', as a [[ShoutOut homage]] to actor Creator/RobertDeNiro, following the pattern of naming Series/MetalHeroes after film personalities, like ''[[Series/SpaceSheriffShaider Shaider]]'' after American actor Roy Scheider and ''[[Series/SpaceSheriffGavan Gavan]]'' after French actor Jean Gabin. ''Spielban'', named after American filmmaker Creator/StevenSpielberg would continue the pattern a year later. |
8 | * WorkingTitle: Began as ''Yojuu Hunter Deniro'', then ''{{Kaiju}} Tokusou Juspion''. |
