Line 6:
** Furthermore, splitting the rifle and going to town simply isn't Heero's combat style, notably enough he only seems to fire the rifle when it counts.
* [[Celebrity Voice Actor]]: Heero Yuy's voice actor Mark Hildreth is a well known T.V actor. Unfortunately, he won't return to the role (or, more likely, he doesn't want to) due to some reception issues.
* [[Cross-Dressing Voices]]: Quatre's Japanese seiyuu Ai Orikasa is a woman. Generally averted in the dubs except probably the Filipino dub. Also averted in the English dub for Noin's voice actress Saffron Henderson who is primarily notable in anime fandom for playing little boy roles like Sota in ''[[Inuyasha]]'', but did get to play a woman in this series.
* [[The Danza]]: Catherine Bloom voiced by [[Cathy Weseluck]] in English, her full name's [[Captain Obvious|Catherine]]. [[Mobile Suit Gundam 00|This won't be her last]].
* [[Enforced Method Acting]]: In the English dub, [[Scott McNeil]]'s [[Big No|Big "NO!"]] was achieved when he thought back to the most painful moment in his life, when his wife accidentally knocked over his motorcycle with the family minivan.
* [[Fan Nickname]]: "Mini-Noin" for Hilde, because she almost looks like Noin, and how she could be mistaken for Noin's little sister. [[Hilarious in Hindsight|Hilariously]], ''Episode Zero'' shows us a 12-year-old Noin. She looks ''exactly'' like Hilde in her OZ cadet uniform, only more stoic and formal.
Line 20 ⟶ 21:
* [[Name's the Same]]: Quatre's name almost sounds similar to [[Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam|Quattro Bajeena]], despite not being the resident [[Char Clone]] of the series. This came about because the names have the same numerical origin (the name "Quattro" comes from the fact that it's Char's fourth alias).
* [[The Other Darrin]]: Catherine Bloom and Sally Po's dub actress was replaced changed after the first 13 episodes.
* [[Playing Against Type]]:
** Voiced by [[Chisa Yokoyama]]. [[Tenchi Muyo!|Yes, THAT]] [[Sakura Taisen|Chisa Yokoyama]].
** Dorothy Catalonia's English VA [[Cathy Weseluck]] is better known for using her calm, gentle voice to portray kind, motherly characters such as the original ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam]]'s'' [[Team Mom|Mirai Yashima]]. Her Japanese VA [[Naoko Matsui]] tends to voice heroic [[Action Girl|Action Girls]] or sassy [[Plucky Girl|Plucky Girls]] with few to hide, rather than sneaky [[Lady of War|Ladies of War]].
* [[Relationship Voice Actor]]: Some of the voice actors in Japanese will later voice characters in ''[[Sengoku Basara]]''. Namely, Wu Fei's, Trowa's and Treize's voice actors.
** Heero is [[Hikaru Midorikawa]], Zechs is [[Takehito Koyasu]]. Do the math.
Line 25 ⟶ 29:
*** [[Cathy Weseluck]] (Dorothy's VA) and [[Lisa Ann Beley]] (Relena's VA) worked together again in ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00|Gundam 00]]''.
* [[Star-Making Role]]: This show pretty much launched the careers for [[Hikaru Midorikawa]] (Heero), [[Toshihiko Seki]] (Duo) and [[Ryotaro Okiayu]] (Treize) into great stardom-to-legend status.
* [[What Could Have Been]]:
** In a 2005 interview with the creators:
*** Series composer Katsuyuki Sumizawa said on-record that in various planning stages, Wu Fei was going to be African and/or a Newtype with the power to [[Detect Evil]]. Some early merchandise, such as pencil boards, still lists him as a Newtype.
*** Noin was originally a male, and was [[Expy|going to be the Garma Zabi]] to Zechs's Char.
*** Lady Une was originally conceived as a naive country girl who fell in love with Treize; additionally, Treize's early character designs made him look a '''lot''' like Gihren Zabi.
* [[Word of God]]: Director Masashi Ikeda, in an interview with ''Animerica'', said that [[Relationship Writing Fumble|he didn't intend on a romantic relationship]] between Heero and Relena because he thought that the political and symbolic relationships between the two were much more important. [[Yaoi Fangirls]] love to cite this interview as proof that Heero's gay, [[Quote Mine|Quote Mining]] it (accidentally or intentionally) to remove the ''other'' things Ikeda said. Like the fact that he didn't intend on '''any''' romance (straight, gay or whatever), or him saying it's only due to his own inability to write "boy-girl romance", ''or'' him saying that that doesn't mean Heero and Relena will never ever become a couple (he even admitted he could see it happening somewhere down the line).
