* For some reason, even on this very wiki, there's a persistent rumour that Voltes V was [[NeverAcceptedInHisHometown never]] [[CondemnedByHistory well-liked]] or popular in Japan. This myth is often spread by Westerners and people that don't speak Japanese - yes, while it's true that ''Voltes V'' is no ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'', it's still a widely beloved anime that attained a PeripheryDemographic during it's time for the melodrama and BlackAndGrayMorality, and [[Magzine/{{OUT}} every]] [[Magazine/TeleviKun otaku]] [[Magazine/{{Animage}} magazine]] and their mother talked about it. This perception comes from the fact that small kids in Japan liked ''Anime/CombattlerV'' more, and were upset when their parents accidentally bought Voltes V toys instead (it's kind of hard to tell them apart if you're not a SuperRobot fan). It also stems from the fact that in certain countries like UsefulNotes/{{Philippines}} and UsefulNotes/{{Cuba}}, the anime was more popular than it was in Japan. Nevertheless, this doesn't mean that the anime was "hated". It's still widely talked about and getting merch deals in ''2024'', and Creator/TadaoNagahama is a highly esteemed director there.

!!UsefulNotes/FerdinandMarcos ban
* "The last four episodes of Voltes V remained unaired years after it was banned by UsefulNotes/FerdinandMarcos." While technically true, it's actually more complicated than that.[[labelnote:Explanation]]The initial airing in the 1970s ended with Episode 26 (Voltes V getting the dedicated energy regulator and defeating the 2 beast fighters/knights). ''Voltes V'' returned on TV after the 1986 revolt (interestingly on government television PTV) then was transferred to [[Creator/{{ABSCBN}} ABS-CBN]] which aired till half of Episode 35. It was then brought to 2 sequestered stations (RPN and IBC) where [[https://dubbing.fandom.com/wiki/Voltes_V Episodes 35]] and 36 were eventually aired. Most Filipinos wouldn't get to see the last 4 episodes of the show until the Year 1999, when the CompilationMovie was released by Creator/GMANetwork.[[/labelnote]] Most importantly, even though many news articles claim the last four episodes were left unaired by the Marcos ban, it was actually the last ''14 episodes'' instead and it was the TV networks that held off airing the complete series for whatever reason after Marcos was gone.
** Regarding the latter, a few fans pin the blame on [=TeleSuccess=] not letting the last episodes be aired since they did the same to ''Series/KamenRiderBLACK'', where the finale never aired because of the same syndication tactic they used: if the show is near the finale, they would re-air it again from the beginning. Rinse and repeat, until the show is taken off the air, hence why the show never got to the finale, to the annoyance of many a kid who grew up with both shows.

But as a result speculation arose that the ban ''really'' came about because the show's anti-dictatorship themes, story and even its BigBad reminded the dictator too much of himself. Both Marcos's son and one of the Filipino dub actors have since claimed that it was actually [[ThinkOfTheChildren parents' groups]] or a [[MoralGuardians Catholic women's group]] who pushed for the ban. According to historian Michael "Xiao" Chua, who received the latter communication from [[https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151215299312437&set=a.10150109438062437.311025.582402436&type=1&relevant_count=1 Celina Cristobal]] (the English voice of Hiyoshi and Katherine), the responsibility or blame nonetheless falls upon Marcos since as president/dictator he was the one in charge; Cristobal herself noted the anime's themes could have been seen as subversive and thus inviting censorship.[[/labelnote]]
