- PREMIERE DATES: The daily cutoff time for determining dates in this list is 04:00 JST (04:00 AM).
- This is the divider most commonly used when measuring television audience ratings in the United States.
- GAME NAMES: Either "Japanese Name (Western Name)" or "Japanese Name (Common Translation)" is how we list most untranslated
- broadcast episodes. After an episode has been translated, we usually adjust our listing to the title used by the translating
- team. In certain cases, such as with thorough rebranding or superficial overseas licensing, alternate names may be listed
- in parentheses. The original Japanese names should be used by default for the raw broadcast episodes themselves.
- * = Not mentioned in SA-GCCX guides ^ = Incorrect details on other lists
- SA-GCCX doesn't label DVD "Director's Cut" versions of episodes separately. We're not marking those cases as omissions or errors.
- This list uses official Fuji TV numbering for regular episodes and a modified version of SA Forum numbering for other episodes.
- Most specials not mentioned in SA-GCCX guides have been given lettered labels in this list. Some labels may be subject to change.
