The use of ''gaiden'' is commonly used in popular Japanese fiction to refer to a [[Spin-off (media)|spin-off]] 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 (narrative)|flashback]]. |

Works whose titles contain the word ''gaiden'' include ''[[Saiyuki (manga)|Saiyuki Gaiden]]'' (prequel to Son Goku's past), ''[[Fire Emblem Gaiden]]'', ''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]]) or ''[[Albert Odyssey: Legend of Eldean|Albert Odyssey Gaiden]]'' (released in English as ''Albert Odyssey: Legend of Eldean''). 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'', and ''[[Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden]]''. The Nintendo 64 game ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask]]'' was called ''Zelda Gaiden'' or {{nihongo|''Zeruda no Densetsu: Gaiden (Kashō)''|ゼルダの伝説 外伝 (仮称)}} during its initial development.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ign64.ign.com/articles/069/069708p1.html |title=First Zelda Gaiden Details Exposed |publisher=IGN |date=1999-08-19 |accessdate=2014-06-13}}</ref><ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/event/spacew99/sokuho/28/soft/64_zelda/index.html nintendo.co.jp]: „ゼルダの伝説 外伝 （仮称）“ (''Zeruda/Zelda no Densetsu: Gaiden (Kashô)'')</ref> |
