Context Trivia / TekkamanBlade

Go To

1* AbortedArc: ''Missing Link'' appears to be a trailer of some sort for a bridge between ''Tekkaman Blade'' and ''Tekkaman Blade II''. However nothing really came from it.
2* PlayingAgainstType: Saber, Blade's quietly menacing murderous twin brother? Yeah, that's Paul Schrier -- aka Bulk from ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' -- doing his voice.
3* TheOtherDarrin: Saban's "International English" cut had Teknoman Blade voiced by David Thomas, while the "USA" cut on UPN had Bob Bergen as the voice of the renamed Teknoman ''Slade'' (though one scene was not redubbed that contained Thomas' line reading).
4** Creator/MichaelMcConnohie voiced Ringo Richards in the UPN version, while Kerrigan Mahan voiced him in the International dub.
5** In the dub of ''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.
6* RealLifeRelative: D-Boy and Aki's dub VA's for ''Tekkaman Blade II'', John [=DeMita=] and Julia Fletcher are married in real life.
7* ShortRunInPeru: The entire series of ''Teknoman'' was aired in Australia before the show premiered in the U.S.
8* StarMakingRole: For two of anime's most prolific voice actors, Creator/ToshiyukiMorikawa and Creator/TakehitoKoyasu.
9* 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.
10* While voicing Tekkaman Blade’s protagonist D-Boy, Toshiyuki Morikawa yelled “Voltekka” so loud that he broke the studio’s recording microphone on '''two''' separate occasions: the first Blaster Voltekka vs. Lance, and the final one vs. Omega.
