Removed irrelevant nonsense. 外伝 and 外電 are homophones, not two meanings of the same word. They do not belong in the same article. It is not clear that this article needs to exist in the first place, but whatever. |

{{nihongo|'''Gaiden'''|外伝||{{IPA-ja|ɡaideɴ|pron}}}}<ref>[http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/cgi-bin/wwwjdic.cgi?1C Japanese Translation site provided by the Monash University]</ref> is a [[Japanese language|Japanese-language]] word meaning "'''[[side story]]'''" or "tale", used to refer to an [[anecdote]] or supplementary biography of a person. This use of ''gaiden'' is commonly used in popular Japanese fiction to refer to a [[Spin-off (media)|spin-off]] (canonical or otherwise) of a previously published work that is neither 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 a young Hatake Kakashi's actions during the Great Ninja War approximately a decade before the start of the series), the ''Turn Back the Pendulum'' gaiden of ''[[Bleach (manga)|Bleach]]'' which is set a century before the start of the main series, ''Ten no Haō Hokuto no Ken Raō Gaiden'' (spin-off of ''[[Fist of the North Star]]'', which is told through the eyes of Kenshiro's brother, [[Raoh]]), ''[[Gensō Suikogaiden]]'' (spin-off 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''). [[Saiyuki Gaiden]] is considered a prequel to the [[Saiyuki]] timeline, showing the lives of the Sanzo party in Heaven and [[Fushigi Yugi Genbu Kaiden]] where the story of the first priestess of Genbu to ever arrive inside the "Universe of the Four Gods" is told. In addition, the word ''gaiden'' has been used in English titles as well such as ''[[Ninja Gaiden]]'' (literally "Ninja's Tale", the American title for the Japanese series ''Ninja Ryūkenden'') and ''[[Resident Evil Gaiden]]'' (a European-developed spin-off of the [[Japan]]ese [[Resident Evil|''Resident Evil'' franchise]]), Super Robot Taisen Alpha Gaiden, which tells a future that would happen without the heroes fighting at the time of need as well as [[Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden]] (an apocryphal epic detailing the canon account of [[Charles Barkley]], who revives the condemned culture of b-ball to save New Neo New York and his son hoopz from the mechanations of the traitor [[Michael Jordan]])). |
