An early work by Takeshi Obata, one half of the ''Manga/DeathNote'' duo. It's probably the only reason why anyone knows about this.

* MoreDakka: Part of Grandpa's schtick seems to be adding guns, armor and overpowered engines to anything with the structural fortitude to withstand it, including himself. The scarecrows are reminiscent of something out of ''{{Transmetropolitan}},'' and both his farm and his new house in the city are quickly outfitted with a terrifying arsenal that could probably take down a small battalion.

* RefugeInAudacity: The only way G-chan gets away with most of his activities is by living in a world that seems to fear giving him any sort of retribution. Otherwise he would be in jail for ''all sorts'' of crimes. That ''may'' actually be the case, since he did take out a Godzilla-like monster.

* TechnicalPacifist: G-chan's rivalry with Sharekoube is a result of a disagreement over how cybernetics ought to be used. Sharekoube wanted it for military purposes, Tokijirou for agricultural purposes. Of course, G-chan causes way more destruction with his "non-military" inventions than Sharekoube ever does with his "weapons."
