Trivia:
The first season of Voltron was not a straight dub from the Japanese anime series "Hyakujû ô Gô-Rion" (1981) due to American broadcast standards - "living" beings were never killed on-screen; mechanical creatures, however, were fair game. One of the most noticeable differences involves the character Sven. In the Japanese version, this character died after battling the enemy's witch after six appearances. In the American version, he was seriously injured and left to heal. He returns near the end of the season. In the Japanese version, this was his brother at the end of the series. The third season (second season for the Lion Voltron Force) was created specifically for the American audience. They were made up of new footage, as well as stock-footage from the first season, with the command "Form arms and body" changed to "Form arms and torso" (to match the second season which was based off of "Kikô Kantai dairugger XV" (1982), with fewer changes). In it, Sven (written in place of a brother who died), Haggar, Zarkon, Nanny, and Lotor - all of whom were killed in the original Japanese series - make their returns.

Goofs:
Continuity: In order to activate the Lions, each team member had to insert a special key. In many instances when Keith is starting the Voltron forming sequence, his key can still be seen on his tunic, but then is also seen on the panel of his lion, and then moves in the same way - left to right - as it already did when first being used to activate the Black Lion.
