In the anime, Dominique turns up alive in the end and in the manga Cobra meets a mysterious and identical-looking Galactic Patrol officer named Secret. In one story, Cobra finds Secret has a familiar BeautyMark and figures she is an amnesiac Dominique but never learns about how she survived. "Over the Rainbow" was meant to tie that loose end, but Terasawa died before finishing it.

* RocketPunch: Zoros has rocket arms just like Hammerbolt Joe's.
* VillainExitStageLeft: Black Bone destroys the supposed key to the Golden Door and leaves Secret tied to a platform to be eaten by giant mantas. As soon as the villainess leaves Planet Galon, it turns out the key was fake and the mantas were GoodAllAlong. After this, Black Manta is never seen again.

* AssholeVictim: Göppel is left stranded in the middle of nowhere after the heroes trick him into revealing the password for his bomb bullets, which is actually too merciful a fate for a callous murderer like him.
* AvengingTheVillain: Cobra is unwelcome at the Hell Crusaders HQ from the beginning for having killed a henchman named Wang-Hu on his way there, and by coincidence Madeleine already held a grudge against him for the death of her boyfriend. So a group of villains ambush Cobra and he kills most of them except Madeleine, who keeps hunting him until she ends up killed by one of the Medusa soldiers.
* CreateYourOwnHero: The Hell Crusaders are doomed by the coincidence of Göppel shooting Cobra of all people with one of his timed bomb bullets.
* DropDeadGorgeous:
** Three pages into "Hell Crusaders" and a nude scorpion-woman is shot in the chest by Cobra, squirts venom from her sting and is reduced to a dead ass on the panel.
** Madeleine is killed by a monster offscreen and is left posed over the water in a way that emphasizes her chest, with the scene lingering on her corpse as the monster's rider she had apparently killed is revealed to be a Medusa and floats over to steal her body.
** Rubik's head is suddenly blown out of her body while she's striking a dramatic pose and then her body collapses with her bare buttocks pointed toward the reader. It's the last time such a thing happens in the original series.
* IHaveYouNowMyPretty: Rubik attempts to rape Cobra while she thinks he's been mindbroken by sensory deprivation, but he calmly pushes her back and leaves her tied to a bed.
* MsFanservice: Madeleine is a curvy villainess barely dressed in a ChainmailBikini and those multiple pages of her wielding a guitar machinegun with her legs spread wide open are of course very important.
* NotQuiteDead: Goldman makes Rubik's neck explode for her failure to kill Cobra and puts her severed head on display with all the other women he's killed. Then it turns out Rubik was a Medusa the whole time and she remains alive for the rest of the story.
* SelfDisposingVillain: Cobra spares Madeleine's life in a rare show of mercy but she attempts to snipe him out of revenge for her allies anyway. Right when she has an unaware Cobra in her aim, she's ambushed and killed by one of the Medusa soldiers.
* TrainingFromHell: Applicants for the Hell Crusaders are first divided into groups of three and forced into a fight to the death for a single jetpack used to leave a flying train. Then the winners are forced to drive an elephant head-shaped craft to the Crusaders' HQ while being chased by armed veteran mercenaries.
