Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The five pirates represent months February through June—creator Yoshiyuki Tomino reportedly rejected January for sounding 'too responsible.'
Sol Bianca arrived during the 1989-1991 OVA boom, when studios could take wild risks on 55-minute passion projects that would never get greenlit today.
