History ShoutOut / Daimos

* To ''Animation/RobotTaekwonV''. The South Korean SuperRobot film series may or may not have inspired Daimos to become a MotionCaptureMecha even though ''Robot Taekwon V'' is more of a ''Mazinger Z'' clone.

** The amnesiac yet religious ArtificialHuman [[AndroidsArePeopleToo Erika]] from [[OneShotCharacter episode 67]] of ''Anime/MazingerZ'' might be the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2VsjrwtOy8 original concept]] for Erika in ''Daimos''.[[note]]They're both amnesiacs who later realize they belong to the enemy faction of the protagonist whom they've fallen in love with. They then tell the weakness of the MonsterOfTheWeek to save the robot pilot.[[/note]]

** The "Daimos Chain Shark" is also reminiscent of Voltes V's "Chain Knuckle", but it has more [[GrapplingHookPistol grappling hook action]].

** Daimos's [[KillItWithIce "Freezer Storm"]] and [[KillItWithFire "Fire Blizzard"]] upgrades used to weaken the armor of the [[RoBeast Mecha Soldiers]] are reminiscent of how Voltes V's "Choudenji Ball" upgrade also weakens the [[FantasyMetals maxingal armor]] of the Armored Beast Fighters.

** The "Souryuu Ken" is part of Daimos's chest, just like Voltes's "Tenku Ken" ("Sword of Heaven" or "Laser Sword" in the Philippine Dub). Both are [[RetractableWeapon retractable blades]].

** The "Sanryuu Kon" (Triple Dragon Stick or Battle Baton in the Philipppine Dub) is Daimos's three-section staff with sharp blades on both ends. It's the Daimos equivalent of the "Choudenji String" (Ultra-Electromagnetic Whip).

* To ''Anime/CombattlerV''. The "Double Blizzard" is a technique that uses powerful chest-mounted fans to generate a whirlwind against the enemy, which usually launches it to the sky, setting up for most of Kazuya's finishing blows. It's like the non-electrical version of Combattler's "Choudenji Tatsumaki".

** The extreme hot and cold effect that the "Freezer Storm" and "Fire Blizzard" [[FireIceDuo combo attack]] has on metal is roughly the same as [[BreathWeapon "Rust]] [[ChestBlaster Hurricane"]] by Mazinger. It also compromises the integrity of the metal body of the Mecha Soldier, making it very brittle and likely to develop cracks but for different reasons.
