Trivia

 * Dangancrossing initially started as an April Fools' Day/Crossover contest for the Animal Crossing Amino.
 * The beta cast for Dangancrossing was notably different compared to the finalized cast.
 * Punchy, Roald, Butch, and Mononook were not part of the original cast.
 * Two unused characters, Merengue and Ribbot, were planned for the series, but were ultimately cut.
 * Merengue's reasoning for being cut was because she was deemed "too brutal" for the series, by slicing up and cooking Inkwell, and then feeding him to the cast.
 * Ribbot's reasoning for being cut was "being forgotten."
 * Mononook was originally replaced by Monokuma. However, this was changed to be more in touch with the Animal Crossing series.
 * There were also two human villagers as part of the cast in the beta, being James himself, and the original series' co-creator, Kaylyn. They were both cut to prevent having self-insert characters in the series.
 * Despite officially dying of blunt force trauma, it's commonly joked about in the fandom and in the series' canon that the Chapter 2 victim's cause of death was "being scared to death," as the origin of a mysterious scream in Chapter 2 was never solved.
 * Another common joke heard around the fandom is that the character Stitches enjoys fursuiting, as he wore a "Roald Suit" during Chapter 2.
 * It's unknown how, or why, Stitches had a suit of Roald. However, common theories is that he either asked Mononook for it, or made it himself.
 * Coco was originally the protagonist for the series instead of Kid Cat.
 * Chapter 3 reflects on this, as Coco is the primary protagonist for that chapter.
 * The official term for this is "getting protag rights," as it was common in the series for the point-of-view to switch between characters often.
