History ShoutOut / Daimos

** The maskless Godol also looks a lot like the maskless Daimos, mouth and all.

** Probably a huge coincidence, but the series also features a character named Richard, which is Kazuya's Philippine dub name.[[note]]He's the civilian Richard Shaw, an American trained in Taekwondo and forced by the bad guys to pilot a MotionCaptureMecha for them to take down Taekwon V.[[/note]]

** The first name of Kazuya's Filipino dub name, "Richard", might have been derived from his hated rival's name "Richter" as the nearest sound-alike name[[note]](the same way in ''Voltes V'', General "Watson" was taken from the name of Dange's commanding officer, General "Doyle")[[/note]].

** His Philippine English dub name, Richard Hartford, could be derived from the city known as Hartford, Connecticut. It could also refer to the Hartford Family, owners of The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company fortune.

* Okane's Philippine dub name, "Bertha", seems based on her [[BrawnHilda visual design]]. Her name is reminiscent of other famous [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bertha Big Berthas]] in real-life like howitzers, Paris Guns, a railway banking engine, and a 19[[superscript:th]] century American criminal ([[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertha_Heyman "Big Bertha" Heyman]]).

* Kyoshiro Yuzuki's signature look of a bouffant afro, rose-tinted glasses, a katana, and a trench-coat screams UnintentionalPeriodPiece from the 1970s.[[note]]Like something famous TV personality and artist Creator/BobRoss would wear (sans katana... probably).[[/note]]

** Okane's Filipino dub name "Bertha" might refer to Daijiro Gou's Filipino dub name "Bert" from the concurrently running (dubbed) ''Voltes V''. Basically, Daijiro is [[GentleGiant "Big Bert"]] and Okane is [[DistaffCounterpart "Big Bertha"]].

* [[NiceGirl Nana]] [[ClingyJealousGirl Izumi]] [[{{Expy}} looks]] and [[TomboyWithAGirlyStreak acts]] like Candy White from ''Manga/CandyCandy''. Her Philippine dub name, "Joanna", is a [[InMyLanguageThatSoundsLike play]] on her Japanese name, "Nana".

** [[ActorAllusion Erika and Megumi Oka]] share a [[Creator/MiyukiUeda voice actress]] as well. While Erika and Kazuya are the OfficialCouple of their series, Megumi and Ken'ichi are the FanPreferredCouple instead (as seen in ''Voltes V's'' live-action remake made in the Philippines, ''Series/VoltesVLegacy'').

** Daimos's Transer/Tranzer form is potentially a shout-out to Voltes V's unused heavy tank mode that's seen in comics and toys. The Voltes Tank form, by the way, made its television debut in ''Voltes V: Legacy''.

** Daimos's Transer/Tranzer form is potentially a shout-out to Combattler V's [[TankGoodness GranDasher]] special move. In fact, the CombinationAttack of Voltes, Combattler, and Daimos in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' heavily features [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxAYqRFPWJs Grand Light Wave and Daimos's Tranzer Mode]] combined.

** The [[ArtificialHuman humanoid robot Mary]] basically lifts wholesale the story of ''[[LoveInterestTraitor Mazinger's]]'' [[LoveInterestTraitor Erika]], which in turn is whom ''[[DefectingForLove Daimos's]]'' [[DefectingForLove Erika]] is based on. Theoretically, certain aspects of Mary's story[[note]](her mission to sabotage the protagonist's side, [[ConflictingLoyalty her betrayal of her own side]], and her feelings of affection for the protagonist's side)[[/note]] also mirror ''Daimos's'' Erika as well.

** Kazuya Ryūzaki's Filipino dub name (Richard Hartford) shares his first name with the Filipino dub name of Dr. Hamaguchi (Richard Smith) from ''Voltes V''. This is because both ''Daimos'' and ''Voltes V'' were dubbed by Questor Productions[[note]](later known as Telesuccess Productions)[[/note]].

** Meanwhile, there's more [[Myth/EgyptianMythology Egyptian]] (as in ''Series/AncientAliens'') influences with their architecture and religion, as seen in the [[FuturisticPyramid pyramid-like appearance]] of the [[SupervillainLair Baam Asteroid City]] (Little Baam), and its [[Myth/EgyptianMythology Temple of the Serpent]].
** As for the [[AngelicAliens winged appearance]] of the Barmians, it's reminiscent of the [[UsefulNotes/TheRenaissance painterly Renaissance]] [[AngelicBeauty depiction]] of [[WingedHumanoid angels]] in UsefulNotes/{{Christianity}}.

* Kazuya Ryūzaki sports the standard Nagahama lead look, but with [[IKnowKarate a karate twist]]. Meanwhile, him being a martial artist karateka references the late 1970s martial arts craze started by Creator/BruceLee and his iconic role in '' Film/EnterTheDragon''. He's like the SuperRobot version of Ken Asuka from ''[[Creator/IkkiKajiwara Karate Baka Ichidai]]''.
