Phoenix/Trivia


 * Author Existence Failure: Tezuka intended to close the series with an arc that took place in the present and somehow tied all the series' motifs together. However, he died well before reaching that point, leaving behind only the synopsis for a storyline, Earth, which was to take place in Japanese-occupied Shanghai, 1938.
 * Executive Meddling: Pretty much any attempt at making Phoenix into an anime has been faced with massive changes to the plot.
