History Anime / TheBraveOfGoldGoldran

* SixthRanger: After his HeelFaceTurn, Walter Wal- I mean, 'Eater Eezack', who appears out of nowhere to save the day.

* CoolCar: Dran is a three-seater with the steering wheel in the middle

* CoolTrain: Advenger. They tried using Dran, but something like an undersea drive halfway around the world taxes his stamina and affects his performance in battle, so after the second episode they switch to Advenger as their primary mode of transportation.

* Expy: The '[[MechaMook Custom Gear]]' robots are basically [[MobileSuitGundam Zakus]]. The purpose-specific [[EliteMooks Walter-use variations thereof]] hew closer to GM-style customizations, and overall are gradually supplanted with Mobile Armor-style robots that stand more of a chance against the [[SuperRobot Legendra Yuushas]].

* LaughablyEvil: Walter again.

** Advenger can become a shoulder-mounted bazooka for Captain Shark.

* CoolCar: Dran.

* CoolTrain: Advenger.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: A rare protagonistic example. In Serious Walzac's debut episode [[spoiler: the bad guys take control of Golgon and fuse him with Waldoran, an EvilTwin of Dran, to form Dark Goldran. Dark Goldran then proceeds to [[DiagonalCut cleave Dran from shoulder to hip with his own BFS.]]]]

* [[KnightInShiningArmor Knights In Sliver Armor]]

* MechaMooks: Serious's soldiers. Might also apply to Walter's.

* {{Pirate}}: Captain Shark. Also, the pirates from episode 9.

* SixthRanger: Walter Walzac, after his heel face turn.

* WhyDontYouJustShootThem: Addressed. Colonel brings this up in episode 3 - they already know everything they need to about the PowerTrio, and they even know where they're hiding Dran and Advenger, so why not kill the kids and question the robots? Walter instead declares that the search for the Power Stones is a ''game'' of wits, and that they'll simply follow them to the next one.

* AffablyEvil: Most of the villains.

* AffablyEvil: Most of the villains.

* [[KidHero Kid Heroes]]: Takuya and friends.

* LaughablyEvil: Walter.
* LargeHam: Walter again.

* ShoutOut: In the "Fake Braves" episode, when they're on their way to Legendra, it suspiciously looks like the Universal Studios logo.
* TheDeterminator: You can blast Advenger with laser beams, nearly cut him in two, infect him with the Yuusha alternative of [[TheTransformers Cosmic Rust]], but you still won't be able to keep him down for long.
** Also, Dran.
* TerribleTrio: The thief Tiramisu Beauty and her two henchmen from episode 8.

* {{Gundamjack}}: Walter does this to Dran, hijacking Golgon to become Dark Goldran.

* EquippableAlly: Golgon, Kaiser, Leonkaiser, Advenger, Fire Silver.

* EquippableAlly: Golgon, Kaiser, LeonKaiser, Advenger, Fire Silver.

* JerkassWoobie: Serious Walzac. It is heavily implied that his mother is dead, and his father is [[CompleteMonster a ruthless bastard who's willing to kill his own children if they don't live up to his expectations.]] His only real friend is his dog Layzer. And guess what. [[DeusAngstMachina It]] [[HeroicSacrifice dies.]]
No wonder the kid's blowing up planets.

''The Brave of Gold: Goldran'' is a Japanese anime television series that had begun in 1995, created by Sunrise. It was the sixth in the Brave Series. ''Goldran'' follows the adventures of three young boys, Takuya, Dai, and Kazuki, who are tasked with finding alien robot fighters, or Braves, that are sleeping in the form of crystals known as Power Stones. Their enemy is the [[LargeHam flamboyant]] and [[LaughablyEvil thoroughly incompetent]] Prince Walter Walzac, and his henchmen are often [[AffablyEvil similarly humorous]]. The entire show is mostly focused on [[HilarityEnsues comedy]], almost to the exclusion of much in the way of storytelling, although the series has some running plotlines toward the end. ''Goldran'' was very popular in its time.
