Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

The Star Number One ship design was directly inspired by 1970s Japanese pulp sci-fi novel covers.

Cultural

Battle Spirits as a franchise was Bandai's deliberate answer to Yu-Gi-Oh!'s dominance; this space-faring season was their 'go big or go home' Hail Mary that accidentally became the fan favorite.
