Line 80:
* [[Genre Popularizer]] -- While certainly not the first [[Bullet Hell]] game (''Batsugun'', another such game, was released 2 years before ''DonPachi''), ''DoDonPachi'' certainly did popularize the concept.
* [[Go Mad From the Revelation]] -- {{spoiler|1=After the end of ''DaiOuJou'', Exy dived into the enemy information system and was able to shut it down, but went rather insane.}}
* [[Go Out
* [[Gratuitous English]] -- In ''DonPachi'', despite the announcer's [[Surprisingly Good English]] (see below), much English ''text'' in the game was clearly inserted by someone who didn't really understand certain... vagaries (like the curious hyphenation found a couple of times in the ending). Perhaps someone should cross-check the credits with that of ''[[Zero Wing]]''....

Line 129:
* [[Recurring Boss]] -- Many of the bosses and sub-bosses from ''DoDonPachi'' continue to return in later games of the series, especially in ''SaiDaiOuJou''. And, of course, Hibachi keeps on coming back.
* [[Retraux]] -- ♪ [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LerWQeMXVd0 Sally (Select)] from ''DaiFukkatsu BLACK Label''.
* [[Ridiculously
* [[Robot Girl]] -- The Element Dolls from ''DaiOuJou'', the precursors to the transforming mecha girls of ''DaiFukkatsu'' mentioned below.
* [[Robot War]] -- The overall plot of the series.
Line 136:
* [[Sequel Escalation]] -- Each successive game one-ups its predecessor in many different aspects: overall bullet density, your ship's firepower, scoring, combos, and the difficulty of the bosses, especially the [[True Final Boss|True Final Bosses]]. This has gotten to the point where pro players sometimes actually enable autobomb on ''SaiDaiOuJou'', and did not try to do scoring runs on the hardest difficulty right away.
* [[Serial Escalation]] -- To anyone who thought Hibachi's ''DaiFukkatsu'' incarnation couldn't be any harder, meet the ''BLACK Label'' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsWhVhgEEV4&annotation_id=annotation_111728&feature=iv one]. Cave also added a more powerful variation called [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TI25niUOtbc Zatsuza], which replaces Hibachi if the player manages to defeat Golden Disaster with no deaths and using Strong style.
** You know ''DaiOuJou DEATH Label'' down below? If you beat it once, you get the chance to do it again, but with [[One
*** In case you're wondering, beating the second loop of ''DEATH Label'' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R87e64xdmvs&t=6m4s only nets you] [[A Winner Is You|a game over screen]].
* [[Sex Bot]] -- Hard to tell without a human translation, but some of the Element Dolls/Daughters were originally designed to serve humans and help them feel more comfortable. Some of them also have features, such as white pantsu, that purely-military robots are... let us say... unlikely to need.
* [[Shoot the Shaggy Dog]] -- In ''DaiFukkatsu'', {{spoiler|1=Next EXY, following the events of ''dai ou jou'', goes back in time to destroy DonPachi Corps and prevent the Blissful Death Wars from happening. In doing so, however, she ends up ''causing'' them. You cleaning up after her mess merely leads to the events of ''dai ou jou''.}}
* [[Shout
** From the same game, after beating the 2nd loop, a small cutscene show Pipiru (Toaplan's mascot, mostly know for it's appearance in the ending of the arcade [[Zero Wing]].) holding on one of the ships before dropping into the water.
** The Japanese names of ''DaiOuJou'''s music tracks are puns on various shmup developers: "Toua" (Toaplan), "Sakusetsu" (Success), "Raijin" (Raizing), and so on.
