Dead or Alive (franchise)/Trivia


 * Actor Allusion: Mila dresses as Hikage during Senran Kagura crossover. Both shares the same Japanese voice actress Ryoko Shiraishi.
 * Banned in China: Dead or Alive: Dimensions is banned in Sweden due to the "showcase" mode, where you can pose the characters and take photographs of them because they knew it would eventually come down to people using it sexually and not all of the characters are of legal age in Sweden.
 * Celebrity Voice Actor:
 * Dennis Rodman as Zack in Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball.
 * Darren Criss as Jann Lee in Dead or Alive: Dimensions.
 * Fan Nickname:
 * Femgu and Tenga for Nyo-Tengu, a new character in Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate Arcade Edition who uses the original Tengu's fighting style.
 * "Salad" and "Honkers" for Honoka.
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: As pointed out by a comment on a YouTube Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 video: "Starfire? Princess Bubblegum? Ah, no﻿ it's just Hitomi."
 * No Export for You: Nintendo decided not to release Dead or Alive: Dimensions in three Nordic countries due to concerns about some of its content raised by a small-town blogger. To paraphrase Upton Sinclair, said blogger aimed at Nintendo's heart, and by accident he hit the company in the stomach.
 * What Could Have Been: Team Ninja originally asked Bungie for permission to use the Master Chief, which proved impossible due to storyline restrictions. But the staff at Bungie were intrigued with the idea and wanted to try something similar. As a result, Bungie developed the concept of a Spartan not entirely connected to the Halo storyline who could conveniently and somewhat plausibly be fit into the Dead or Alive universe. This concept evolved into the character of Nicole.
