=== Tropes associated with the series as a whole: ===
* [[Tear Jerker]]: Holy crap... for a [[Super Robot]] series, there's LOTS of this. These include the episodes featuring  {{spoiler|the death of Fan Lee's [[Long Lost Sibling]], right after they found each other - and in poor Fan Lee's arms!}},  {{spoiler|the story of the ONLY member of the Dark Horror Army able to resist his brainwashing... since the Army killed his cute little daughter in front of him}}, and  {{spoiler|Pete's [[A Day in the Limelight]] episode, in which [[Dark and Troubled Past|we learn]] ''why'' is he a [[Jerkass]]... due to [[My Greatest Failure|having failed to prevent his parents's deaths]].}}

=== Tropes associated with the 2005 series: ''Gaiking: The Legend of Daiku Maryu'' ===
* [[Better on DVD]]: The DVD and international releases of the show feature improved animation in quite a few spots. 
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: Psychic Lover, known for their awesome [[Toku]] themes, prove that they've got as much chops as [[JAM Project]] when it comes to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kD4Zip8wQHk awesome Super Robot music].
* [[Ear Worm]]: See [[Anime Theme Song]] on the main page.
* [[Magnificent Bastard]] / [[Complete Monster]]: Proist is possibly the only villain in all of Super Robot fiction who will make you shout out obscenities as often and as frustrated as you did during [[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]]. Ribbons and {{spoiler|her}} are [[Crossover Ship|a match made in hell]].
