* MarthDebutedInSmashBros: Despite Sandy Frank adapted the 1971 ''Gatchaman'' show twice, Berg Katse (named as "Lukan") appeared in a show adapted by Saban using flashback footage of ''Gatchaman'' Episode 105 (the episode wasn't adapted by Sandy Frank on both adaptations) through ''Gatchaman Fighter'' Episode 15.

* DubInducedPlotlineChange:
** It starts off as a generally straight adaptation of Gatchaman II, aside from the censorship to hide violence and death. However, Saban quickly began skipping episodes and cherry-picking whichever ones felt "safest" for them to translate, as well as airing others out of order[[note]]Although, according to the producer Rita Acosta, Tatsunoko was partly to blame in sending Saban some of the episodes out of order to begin with.[[/note]] The cutting and pasting only increased once they got to adapting Gatchaman Fighter, with episodes spliced together and some scenes from later episodes being put into earlier ones with rewritten context. They did not bother to adapt any of the episodes in Fighter's climax and ending, and instead halted the plot at an episode that was originally the ''fifteenth'' in Fighter.
** The final episode of II and the first episode of Fighter were spliced into one episode, after having suffered heavy censorship. This was an attempt to tie the plot of both series even closer, with dialogue explaining that the next villain was actually Mallanox in a new form. The rest of Fighter#1 was merged with the following episode, while the remnants of Fighter#2 were merged with ''episode 27''.
** In Gatchaman Fighter, [[spoiler: Ken experiences a cellular breakdown that gradually kills him as he uses the "Hypershoot" sword technique. He goes for a cure, but it proves to be temporary and he suffers the disease again towards the end of the series]]. In this adaptation, [[spoiler: Hunter winds up ill, but is cured and experiences no further negative effects.]]
** Episode 6 was originally episode 21 of II, and was significantly changed up to change it from being a complete DownerEnding: [[spoiler: In the original, ''both'' of Ken's flight school friends (Karl and Lisa) die due to one being a traitor to Galactor. In the dubbed adaptation, Lisa's death is presented as a nightmare sequence and is otherwise removed, along with her fiance Karl's death. Instead, Karl mysteriously "escapes" and is never seen again, while earlier footage of Lisa is pasted in at the end to provide closure, with her telling Hunter they can never be together due to his secretive nature. In this version, Lisa had also been changed from a friend to an ex-girlfriend, providing awkwardness for Hunter over her engagement to Karl.]]
** In the original, Joe never gets the bomb removed from his heart and it plays a key point in the end of the Fighter series. In Eagle Riders, it's said to be removed from him in the episode that bridges the II and Fighter footage.
** The flashback to Ken meeting Red Impulse as his father for the first time was changed to Hunter having an argument with his father over him trying to control the Eagle Riders' training (with Hunter apparently having lacked the parental abandonment that Ken had). However, the rest of the flashback remains generally the same, with Harley Harris sacrificing his life to stop a band of radiation from reaching Earth.
** In an attempt to tone down the idea of Joe being a cyborg, Saban's scripts had the habit of referring to him as a "half-cyborg" in order to not mix him up with the more robotic cyborgs and "androids" (originally flesh-and-blood mooks) that were cannon fodder.
