Trivia / The King's Epic Adventure

  • Actor Allusion: In the last scene of Episode 3, Part 3, Robotnik goes back to his lair; a clip of "It Still Ain't Easy" (a song by Robotnik's voice actor, blues musician Long John Baldry) can be heard.
  • Creator Backlash:
    • If the annotations are anything to go by, Geichuban isn't proud of Episode 2. The annotations for Episode 1 also say Episode 3 is "500000x better than [the first] two episodes combined!".
    • During the Pokémon battle between Snake and Konata, the elemental weaknesses and resistances are inverted. Geibuchan confirmed that this was intentional because he thought it was funny back when he made the episode. He regrets doing it now, because it makes the animation look lazy and it's not obvious that it's meant to be a joke rather than a genuine error about Pokémon's Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: In regards to the aforementioned Pokémon battle, it became significantly less unfunny when Pokémon actually added the concept, dubbed Inverse Battles, to the Gen VI games.
  • The Other Darrin: About half of Konata's dialog is original lines, rather than sampled like everyone else's. These portions are voiced by YukariKanashii88.
    • In episode 4 act 2, Miyuki is also voiced by the same person. Geibuchan has said, however, that she won't be voicing any more characters after this episode.
  • Schedule Slip: Geibuchan has eventually fallen into this while making episode 4. He was able to finish Act 1 on time, but it took another year and a half for Act 2 to be released on Halloween 2012. (Given its incredible length compared to other episodes in the series - 27 minutes - this is understandable.) However, as of late 2022, episode 5 is still nowhere in sight after over a decade. (Geibuchan plans to remake the first episode of the series before continuing, in order to sharpen up his skills.) Though he posted a video in April 2021 with an announcement saying that he's finally back at making videos after being unable to do it for years. One of these planned videos is the fifth episode of The King's Epic Adventure.
  • Similarly Named Works: Someone created their own YTP called The King's Epic Adventure back in January 2010. Subverted, in that the video is a 21-second long shot of a YouTube error message, with the King complaining about it.
  • Word of God: According to a comment of Geibuchan, the Running Gag of Link trying to kill Zelda is actually a game that went out of hands between both characters, where they try to kill each other and swap roles each time. But the viewers only see when Link acts as the killer because all of his attempts fail.
