{{nihongo|'''Gaiden'''|外伝|Pronounced 'Guy'den}} (a [[Japanese language|Japanese-language]] word often translated as "'''[[side story]]'''" or "tale") is used to refer to an [[anecdote]] or supplementary biography of a person. The term ''gaiden'' is commonly used in popular Japanese fiction to refer to a [[spinoff]] (canonical or otherwise) of a previously published work that is not officially considered a [[sequel]] nor a [[prequel]]. However, some ''gaiden'' are retold stories in the perspective of a different character, similar to that of a [[flashback]]. |
|||
Works that includes the use of the word ''gaiden'' in their titles include ''[[Fire Emblem Gaiden]]'', ''[[Kakashi Gaiden]]'' (a set of chapters of the ''[[Naruto]]'' manga which tells the story of the "Great Ninja War", an event occurring decades before the actual series), ''Ten no Haō Hokuto no Ken Raō Gaiden'' (spinoff of ''[[Fist of the North Star]]'', which is told through the eyes of Kenshiro's brother, [[Raoh]]), ''[[Gensō Suikogaiden]]'' (spinoff of ''[[Suikoden]]''), ''[[Albert Odyssey: Legend of Eldean|Albert Odyssey Gaiden]]'' (released in English as ''Albert Odyssey: Legend of Eldean'') and ''[[Final Fantasy Adventure|Seiken Densetsu: Final Fantasy Gaiden]]'' (released in North America as ''Final Fantasy Adventure'' and in the [[PAL region]] as ''Mystic Quest''). In addition, the word ''gaiden'' has been used in English titles as well such as ''[[Ninja Gaiden]] (story told in the super ninja, Ryu Hayabusa's perspective)'' (the American title for the Japanese series ''Ninja Ryūkenden'') and ''[[Resident Evil Gaiden]]'' (a European-developed spinoff of the [[Japan]]ese [[Resident Evil|''Resident Evil'' franchise]]) as well as Super Robot Taisen ALpha Gaiden, which tells a future that would happen without the heroes fighting at the time of need. |
