** By the time the first manga run ended, ''Peacock King'' was such a success that the first paperback edition sold out completely in mere hours, so when Ogino decided to stroll through a couple bookstores to check it up, he found no trace of his manga. Being under pressure due to all the fuss, Ogino assumed the worst and came to believe his editor was trying to sabotage him by not selling the edition, so he immediately went to him and they almost came to blows until the truth was cleared out.
** The success also practically forced Ogino to make a sequel work, now subtitled ''Taimaseiden'', so at some points he wished to be able to stop it already. Likely due to this, he repeated a couple plot points from the first series, most notably a new entity calling itself Satan that was not the same as the Satan appeared in the previous. Ironically, his wish came true when the editors were unsatisfied and decided to discontinue the series in the middle of the story. Ogino would not be able to continue the storyline until several years later, when he make a second sequel subtitled ''Magarigamiki'' that featured a TimeSkip from the previous series.

** The next and last works in the franchise, the simultaneously published ''Rising'' (a sort of AlternateContinuity {{Prequel}}) and ''Sengoku Tensei'' (a conventional sequel to ''Magarigamiki''), would also feature a dire production, this time because Ogino was terminally ill of kidney disease and had to work from his hospital bed. He died two months before the two series' last volumes were released.
