Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

TV-Kun is a real Japanese children's magazine; this is basically a 20-minute ad you paid to watch. Capitalism wins again.

Insight

Hyper Battle DVDs traditionally feature joke forms that never appear in canon, but Dragon TV-Kun's book gimmick actually mirrors Saber's core theme of stories creating reality. The shitpost has layers.
