Line 57:
* [[Cool Starship]]
* [[Creative Differences]]: Yoshinobu Nishizaki and Leiji Matsumoto both claim they are the sole creators of ''Space Battleship Yamato''. (The court system has sided with Nishizaki.) Both have made their own separate ''Yamato'' projects<ref>the short-lived ''Yamato 2520'' [[OVA|OVAs]] from Nihizaki's camp, and Matsumoto's ''Great Yamato'' manga</ref> between 1983 and their settlement in the 2000s.
* [[Culture Clash]]: A meta example. American viewers might wonder why Japanese would choose the Yamato(which was something of a [[Guy in Back]] most of the war) instead of a ship with such a distinguished combat record as, say, the [[Worthy Opponent|IJN Zuikaku.]] After all Americans chose the formidably battle-seasoned USS Enterprise to give to [[Star Trek|Captain Kirk.]] However the Yamato was something of a Japanese icon and to this day it has a model in the Etajima museum.
* [[Cultural Translation]] (or [[Woolseyism]] or [[Macekre]], depending on who you ask): In "''Star Blazers''", the scenes showing Wildstar's backstory go out of their way to avoid mentioning that he lived in Japan. His home is called "Great Island" and sushi (clearly shown on screen and looking like nothing else besides sushi) is called "chocolate cake".
* [[Dead Guy, Junior]]: Starsha's sister Sasha dies in the first episodes getting her message to Earth. In ''New Voyage'' and ''Be Forever Yamato'', we find out that Starsha and Kodai's brother Mamoru named their daughter "Sasha".
