* MythologyGag: Gurren Lagann's moveset comes directly from the home series. His normal melee combo and Gurren Boomerang reference to Gurren Lagann weaponizing the large CoolShades on his chest. His DivingKick is the same one he used on Viral's Enkidu in the first season. Full Drillized references to how Gurren Lagann can spontaneously create lots of drills from all parts of his body. Giga Drill Breaker is of course Gurren Lagann's [[SignatureMove Signature]] FinishingMove. And when Gurren Lagann is destroyed, Lagann the Head Unit can continue on fighting and even has his transformation state in his moveset, further referencing Gurren Lagann as a combined mecha unit.
* TheVoiceless: Unfortunately, Simon's actor is abscent. This is justified due to the fact that character dialogue is only heard in Hardcore Mecha's story mode only.

* GlassCannnon: His Custom Graeme was modified to fight in close-range, but its combat options were limited to just a combat knife for slashing and chest vulcans for mid-range fire, so he lacked protection against long-range moves. His Crimson Flame on the other hand, is a LightningBruiser, improving on the protection that the Graeme lacked by adding additional armor and having more combat options along with increased strength and mobility.
