* MagnificentBastard: [[TheDragon Arm Primeval]], also known as ZX-07, is the leader of the Seven Magnificent Primevals, a group consisted of the strongest Primevals which he lives up to such title. Being able to make use of Eye Primeval's ability to see through the future, Arm is able to predict every direction Guy is striking towards him. Even after [[ShootTheMedicFirst losing Liver Primeval]], Arm is still able to remain his cool and fused with other Primevals to become Combined Primeval which gives the GGG a hard time. Later, he is able to trick the heroes into destroying missiles which release sand that immobilised them and later used the sand to help him escape. In order to hide their portal that brought the Primevals to Jupiter, Arm created a Zonder Robo to disrupt GGG’s radio sequence so they won’t detect the portal. Always being able to come up with a plan ahead of the heroes and managed to avoid getting purified for three times, Arm Primeval has proved himself to be one of the most competently dangerous Primeval GGG has ever faced.

** The [[{{Determinator}} aptly named]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nm2T0uXYBbk Yuuki Aru Tatakai]], practically the musical cue that the villains are about to get their sh*t wrecked in a truly epic way.

* PeripheryDemographic: The TV series was originally aimed at kids, yet suffered poor TV ratings (from a combination of franchise fatigue - a ''Brave'' series had been on air every year since 1990, making ''[=GaoGaiGar=]'' the eighth in as many years - and running ''directly'' into the electric-mouse-powered buzzsaw that was [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} the original Pokemon anime]]). Its popularity actually came from massive DVD sales to older otaku and mecha fans, who were highly impressed with the show's second half.

** Not in the way you might expect -- sure, there are pagers everywhere (in the [[{{Zeerust}} far-off future of ~2005]]), a lot of the kids wear [=90s=] kid fashion, [=GaoGaiGar's=] shoulders are ''specifically'' the then-brand-new [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/500_Series_Shinkansen 500 series shinkansen]], et cetera... but the bit that makes the show stick out somewhat painfully as a [=90s=] product is the tendency of Ushi and Ayame to gush over ''American military equipment''. A number of episodes feature one or the other recognizing an American-made military vehicle and gushing over it (often before it becomes a Zonderized threat); episode 39 even makes a joke of them nerding out together. In 1997, this was a pretty common depiction of military fanboys (which Ayame is on top of being a toku geek), but in the [=21st=] century, ''especially'' UsefulNotes/TheNewTens and beyond, it can come across a ''lot'' differently (and somewhat weirdly, given that this is a Japanese show) thanks to the events at the start of the century. A show of the [=21st=] century could easily be perceived as making a ''much'' different statement than ''GGG'' intends with this, and the military otaku-ism marks the show as a product of its time in a way that the production staff almost certainly didn't intend at all.
** Episode 4 also hits this problem in a different way. To a lot of Americans, an episode about an out-of-control monster space shuttle might've been [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle_Challenger_disaster a little questionable]] even in '97, but it still would've been at least somewhat acceptable; [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle_Columbia_disaster after 2003]], though, any show anywhere in the world doing this kind of plot would come across as being in terribly bad taste. In 1997, though, the space shuttle program and general interest in space development was still very hot and would only taper off after the events of the new century, so the shuttle story - and even the entire existence of the Space Development Corporation as GGG's public arm - was a natural writing angle.

* CommonKnowledge: It's been long since believed that Anime/GaoGaiGar was produced as a response to the dark, deconstructive ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion''--except it wasn't. Not only was Evangelion a dark twist on ''Ultraman'' instead of mecha anime, Anime/GaoGaiGar released eight months after Evangelion debuted and was the final entry in Takara's long-running Brave franchise, serving as a send-off to that series' themes and aesthetic. Given how long production leads take, Anime/GaoGaiGar and Evangelion were most likely in production at the same time, wholly unbeknowst to each other. Also, [[MerchandiseDriven GaoGaiGar was largely a vehicle for selling toys]]; only in the latter half of the series where it turned out to be more popular with [[PeripheryDemographic older viewers]] did Anime/GaoGaiGar's writing take a more dramatic turn.

** After several years since FINAL's release, we're finally treated to a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJn5teyd9tA new revision of Yuusha Oh Tanjou]], Juvenile Version, to accompany ''Literature/KingOfKingsGaogaigarVSBetterman'', the song being updated to show [=GaoGaiGar=]'s variants throughout the new story. [[spoiler:However, a VERY special moment must be brought up for the end of it, as the song suddenly becomes a VillainSong dedicated to the new antagonist Hakaioh, fitting as they have taken over Genesic [=GaoGaiGar=] to begin their conquest.]]
