History Anime / BangBraveBangBravern

* BewareTheSillyOnes: Yes, the Deathdrives have ridiculous names and extremely hammy personalities. Doesn't mean they ''vastly'' overpower everyone but Bravern and kill a ''lot'' of people.

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:More sweet than bitter, the menace of the Deathdrives is finally over and Verum Vita is dead, but Superbia died on battle against Ira, the good thing is that Smith got his human body back and is now alive once more but lost his powers, so Bravern is no more.]]

* GoBackToTheSource: The story starts at Oahu, Hawaii with the Deathdrives setting up their [[RespawnPoint respawn towers]] on the island to start their invasion. The Allied Task Force realized the Deathdrives has spread throughout the globe, and planned to save humanity starting by uprooting the Deathdrive towers in Japan. But then the actions of both Bravern and the [=ATF=] piqued the interest of the Deathdrives, resulting in the Deathdrives' decision to shift all of their units back towards the [=ATF=] base instead of taking the long-distance wait for the [=ATF=] to reach them. Thus, most of their boss level units stationed themselves in Hawaii where the battle first started. Eventually, Bravern, Isami, Lulu and Superbia went back to Hawaii to deal with the remaining Deathdrives.

But then the actions of both Bravern and the [=ATF=] piqued the interest of the Deathdrives who started moving towards then, instead of waiting until they arrived. Thus, their boss level units moved to Hawaii where the battle first started. Eventually, Bravern, Isami, Lulu and Superbia went back to Hawaii to deal with the remaining Deathdrives.

* GoBackToTheSource: The story starts at Oahu, Hawaii with the Deathdrives setting up their [[RespawnPoint respawn towers]] on the island to start their invasion. The Allied Task Force presumed the Deathdrives has spread throughout the globe, and planned to save humanity starting by uprooting the Deathdrive towers in Japan. But then the [=ATF=] realized invading Deathdrives do not have as many units as they assumed, with their boss level units mostly stationed right on Hawaii. Eventually, Bravern, Isami, Lulu and Superbia went back to Hawaii to deal with the remaining Deathdrives.

* FunWithSubtitles: In Episode 10, Superbia and Lulu had an extensive argument in their Deathdrive language with subtitles on screen that translates all of their verbal exchanges into Japanese. Once Lulu insults Superbia, he speaks Japanese out of shock, and for some reason, the subtitles translate his Japanese back into their own language.

* FirstEpisodeTwist: Early marketing left little indication about Bravern's SuperRobot nature, instead portraying the work as a grounded RealRobot series. And everything in the first episode supported this idea until Bravern literally descended from the sky at the climax of the episode.

* GenreRefugee: Bravern seems to be a Anime/BraveSeries-styled sentient SuperRobot who literally appeared out of nowhere onto the scene of a more grounded RealRobot show. [[spoiler: Eventually, this is revealed to be an InvokedTrope: Bravern is the reincarnation of Lewis Smith, given the chance to live out his childhood dream of being an over-the-top {{Tokusatsu}} hero.]]

* RealRobot: Titanostriders are small, [[RollerbladeGood wheeled]] mecha with military builds and loadouts. Though TS are equipped with advanced technology like railguns and rocket knuckles, they are still treated like ordinary pieces of military hardware, and are deployed alongside conventional tanks and warplanes. This makes Bravern stand out all the more.

* ShutUpHannibal: In the finale, [[spoiler:Isami decides to hear Verum Vita out, but once she says she intends too kill all of humanity, he decides he's had enough. Every time she tries to explain her motives, she's interrupted by Isami's attacks.]]

** Isami and Bravern take it to a whole next level, with Bravern launching into an InnocentInnuendo-laden spiel about how amazing it was to feel Isami inside him, how he felt when Isami moved his joystick up and down, and how his cockpit will always be open for him.
*** [[spoiler:This goes from being subtext to explicit text in Episode 11 when Bravern outright confesses his love to Isami and throws himself at him before being interrupted by Lulu.]]

''Bang Brave Bang Bravern'' [[note]]''Yuuki Bakuhatsu Bang Bravern'', literally "Courageous Explosion Bang Bravern"[[/note]], shortened in the West as ''Bang Brave Bravern!'', is a {{Mecha}} anime directed by Creator/MasamiObari and animated by Creator/CygamesPictures that aired beginning January 11, 2024.

* RefusedByTheCall: When Isami makes it clear that he does not like being Bravern's pilot, Smith volunteers, but Bravern says that he can't be his pilot. [[spoiler: As it turns out, there's a good reason for this, as Bravern is none other than a [[StableTimeLoop reincarnated Smith having traveled back in time]].]]

** Smith and Isami get some before the plot proper even gets started, beginning to form a ''Film/TopGun''-esque rivalry and Smith being very touchy-feely in a bar. This continues through the series, with the eyecatch of every episode being Smith and Isami shirtless with one another.
