All There in the Manual: Kenichi is good at handling computers. Mitsuyo Go was a very kind-hearted woman. Emperor Zambajil◊ grew up with cold gazes from those around him due to being the son of a concubine. He was also jealous of Gohl ever since they were children because he was a handsome and clever boy. |

Children Are Special |
| Tadao Nagahama: Robot Romance Animation Chronicle Infobook / int_41dee1c9 |
comment |
Children Are Special: Director commentary states that the reason the main cast of Daltanious are children is because, similar to how the theme of Voltes was father-son love and the theme of Daimos was love between a man and a woman, the theme of Daltanious was meant to be the vitality of children and how their innocence and curiosity shapes the world. |

comment |
Paper-Thin Disguise: One section of the book discusses the manga adaptations of the anime. Yuji Hosoi was initially the writer for most of them, but after he retired due to illness, he was replaced by another writer using the psudedonym Aoi Mori. However, readers could tell from the art style that Aoi Mori was actually Morihiko Ishigawa (a mangaka best known for providing the illustrations to the Japanese editions of Sherlock Holmes), and word quickly spread around. |

Combining Mecha: Believe it or not, in the first draft of Combattler V, the robot was meant to be made up of nine mechas - this was slimmed down to six, then five, which is what you see in the show. The image depicted in the book also shows that it had wing-like structures on each side of it's head. |
