Mega Man Star Force/Trivia


 * Franchise Killer: The overwhelming mediocrity of Star Force 2 ended the popularity of the .exe verse, the last popular Megaman series, in Japan. They got their act together for the third installment, but sales didn't perk up. Not much funding at all was allocated to Operation Shooting Star, an attempt to uncancel both series that might've worked if it were a proper remake. A sad fate for the franchise that had its iteration of Mega Man as the face of its 25th anniversary.
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: Oh my God... Rika, you got Princess Curls! Huge ones!

 * Funny. If you weren't looking, you might've confused Ophiuchus with Meryl Strife.
 * An antisocial protagonist whose life is thrown for a loop when a strange, otherworldly creature crash-lands in his life? Why, hello, Kiyo! Subaru is also Yuu. And Ren.

 * Too many jokes to think of can come from the fact that Sonia's voice comes from Wendee Lee.

 * Who figured Uchiha Madara would spend his death masquerading as a spectral bull named Taurus? As for Ox... HYAAAAAAAAAAAT!!
 * If Zack Temple gets lost down a hole and comes across a giant face and a small drill, well, don't be surprised. Sadly, Kizamaro can only claim kinship with Maon, whose claim to fame is whistling.

 * Cygnus shares his voices with both a certain Dr. Tenma and Guts.
 * Calm, long-haired young man with the capacity to be deadly? Tsukasa, meet Kurapika. And, hell, Pat? Well, lessee... Tenten, Batgirl, and Luna Noa all come to mind.
 * Hey look! Gemini is voiced by Pat! And in Japan, you might hear a shade of Meta Knight.
 * Chiyokichi is Doraemon, and Claude is Gimmy and Kunikida.

 * Neji doesn't believe in the Stock Ness Monster.
 * Szilard is only too happy to prove him wrong.

 * In the Did Not See That Coming Category, Aaron is played by BanchouLeomon. And Mamoru is Saizou.
 * Adding to his Hot Dad credentials (and his implicit Badass cred as well), Kelvin Stelar can claim kinship with Minato, Rick Hunter, Bang Shishigami, Arsene Lupin III... ah, Hell.
 * Akane is Lila, the Salon Maiden, and young Marik Ishtar. Hope is also Aoi, Rukia, Yuki, Yoko... ah, Hell.
