• Actor Allusion: At one point, Yuichi Kayama brags that he's the man who makes the impossible possible; makes sense, given he's voiced by Takehito Koyasu.
• Hey, It's That Voice!:
  • Sailor Mars singing "Beni Tokage" whenever Sumire opens her mouth.
  • Kanna is Kuririn, Koenma and Monkey D. Luffy.
  • Ayame and Kaede are Ryoko, as well as Genis Sage.
  • In the dub of Sakura Taisen V, Allen Ridgely is Sunnyside...
    • Also in the dub: Shinjiro is Lelouche, Vash and Adachi.
    • Gemini is Lust, Kid Trunks and Catherine. And Shin.
    • Subaru is Sakura Haruno, C.C and Saber.
    • Sakura Shinguji is Haruhi Suzumiya, Xianghua and Faye Valentine.
• Marth Debuted in Smash Bros:
  • Oogami and Sakura make a bit appearance in the start of So Long, My Love. But they, alongside the rest of the Tokyo and Paris personnel (with a few exceptions like Jean Leo) appeared in various anime/OVA adaptations released outside of Japan.
  • Sakura and Ohgami, along with Sakura Wars 3 's leading lady Erica Fontaine, finally made a playable appearance outside of Japan in Project X Zone.
  • Gemini Sunrise first appeared in Sakura Taisen V: episode 0, which is a prequel action game. And it had not been localized.
  • Ratchet Altair made her first appearance in the franchise in the Sakura Wars movie before appearing in the fifth game, So Long My Love.
• No Export for You: The fifth game was released in North America in March 2010, so far the only game in the franchise to get released outside Japan. Outside of official Russian releases of the first two games, anyway. Most fans are cynical that the release of Sakura Wars V is anything more than a lucky fluke, and NISA's open admission that the game vastly undersold its localization costs as well as the revelation that Sony already prevented another company from translating the PSP ports of the first two games seems to suggest this will remain true.
• Playing Against Type: Mona Marshall voicing Leni, a female character, even though she does look like at first glance, a boy.
• Sequel First: Against all odds, Sakura Taisen V was released in English in March 2010 courtesy NIS America.
• Shout-Out: Sumire's character the Crimson Lizard is almost certainly a shout-out to the beautiful master criminal character "Kurotokage" (in English, the Black Lizard) from the novel of the same name by Edogawa Ranpo.
