Trivia / The Brave Express Might Gaine

• Acting for Two: Make them "acting for more than three!"
  • Masami Kikuchi plays Hamada, Bird Bomber, and Jet Diver. Maybe Hamada served as Bird and Jet's voice library?
  • Naoki Makishima is Mr. Osaka, Leo, Horn, Tri / Battle Bomber, and Police Diver. Most likely Mr. Osaka served as their voice library as well.
  • As people are getting the notion that the above examples make sense, we unfortunately have to inform you that Ryōtarō Okiayu voiced good guys and bad guys, and that Katsumi Suzuki is literally everywhere in Nouvelle Tokyo City.
• "Do It Yourself" Theme Tune: Katsumi Suzuki sings the second ending theme, "Black Diamond," as his character, Purple.
• Living Prop: We bet nobody noticed Fumihiko Tachiki was swimming within the deep ocean of background characters, he wasn't new to the business, as he was already 11 years into voice acting by this series. He just hadn't met his destined character yet.
• Out of Character: Ryōtarō Okiayu was still a newbie on the grill during this series,^note He was on his 4th year, but before he got cast for Shippu! Iron Leaguer, and Slam Dunk. so there are times where he couldn't hold his character. Such as how Chinja Rōsu's voice suddenly turned Bishounen while whispering to Sally in episode 30.
• Referenced by...: With Sunrise and Takara breaking the ice over their licensing issue, Might Gaine, the most popular series of the entire Brave franchise ^note Excluding Gaogaigar. within the Japanese demographic, officially follows The King of Braves Gaogaigar's lead in becoming the second Brave Series entry in Super Robot Wars history to make its debut with V, released in February 23, 2017. This move serves as a big statement from the 2 companies indicating the remaining 6 series from the Brave franchise will have the opportunity to join the world of Super Robot Wars in the future. By surprise, Might Gaine made a consecutive appearance in X, which includes the Joint Dragon Fire attack that was missing in V, only unlike the show, Black Might Gaine gets in on it! It appears again in T, this time along with GaoGaiGar.
• Star-Making Role: Hiyama’s gig as Hiei of YuYu Hakusho, and Might here aired within one season from each other, which led to his name burst simultaneously. In terms of his Hotblooded resume, Might was Hiyama's first principal role of his career.^note No, not debut. Might, back then, was such a successful character, Hiyama proceeded in earning roles in the package of at least one-Hero Protagonist-per-year for the next 7 years straight!
• What Could Have Been: Might's character designer, Atsuko Ishida originally set Might to be a slightly-older Long-Haired Pretty Boy teen with his hair length at around the shoulders. But her higher ups feared that the look would give the audience a negative impression of him, so she had no choice but to cut his hair and drop his age a few years; smart for her, she managed to slip in longer hair bangs for him.
