** The [[Determinator aptly named]] [[http://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. Most of the series's [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome best moments]] have this song accompanied them (the showdown with EI-01, the final battle with the Z-Master, GaoGaiGar vs Zonuda and Gai's EPIC beatdown of Palparepa)
** King J-Der's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24G1ip05QJs Utsukushiki Tsubasa]] (Beautiful Wings of Light). Plenty of Super Robots have HotBlooded Rock themes. How many have a fricking OPERA?

** Don't forget '''POWER OF DESIRE''' and "Let's Final Fusion!", the latter sung by '''both''' Masaaki Endoh and Hironobu Kageyama.
* CompleteMonster: The 11 Lords of Sol.

This isn\'t YMMV. Moving.


* NeverTellMeTheOdds: Over and over and over. Koutarou Taiga kicks it off in the first episode with the iconic line, "With courage, even 1% becomes 100%!"
** Let's face it. There's no "odds of success" for GGG. If they have any chance in hell of victory, victory's guaranteed.

* NarrowedItDownToTheGuyIRecognise: In FINAL, Kotaro is replaced with this old bugger in the command chair, and the UN makes its move to acquire GGG's resources, which they're planned for some time. Turns out the old guy wasn't part of their plan - [[YouShallNotPass he even ends up holding the line.]]

** Some of the StockFootage music is also noteworthy - in particular, "Final Fusion" is one of the most heroic ThemeMusicPowerUp tunes in the series, and "Goldion Hammer" is basically music for "[[CurbStompBattle Kiss your ass]] [[FinishingMove goodbye, villain]]!"

After the last few episodes have given us progressively more and more Hotblooded iterations of the opening theme, Episode 8 brings us [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aJQmAw0Awc Yuusha-Oh Tanjou (Piano Solo version)]]. Bonus points for also giving us a recap that practically SCREAMS BittersweetEnding.

* AccidentalNightmareFuel: Penchinon. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLTqGkUGCzE Oh GOD Penchinon!]]
** Lets not forget the moment around episode 3. Mamoru had just purified a Zonder, but at this point in time, Team GGG had no idea who or what he is. When they track him down, what do they send to get him? A fully armed assault squadron. That insisted that they were there to ''protect'' Mamoru. Riiight. The moment became a bit of a {{Tear Jerker}} when poor Mamoru, confused, scared, and still unsure of the nature of his powers, begins to fight for his life and cry out for his (adoptive) parents.

* SuperlativeDubbing: Astoundingly enough, the English dub of the series is generally agreed to be ''fantastic'', especially during somewhat deeper moments like Leo explaining why he's so flippant about Guy's well-being in episode 2. This is due in part to having much of the same cast as the freakin' '''''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers''''' (same voice studio). Sadly, the English dub had the plug pulled on episode 25 - literally ''two episodes'' before the series really begins to take off. Many fans lament what might have been.
** This is reportedly due in part to several people involved with the dub, including Mike Sinterniklaas, absolutely adoring the show and knowing how good the second half and FINAL was. They were also reportedly ''hugely'' frustrated that they never got to do the really interesting parts of the show.
** And Media Blasters has openly said the chances of the rest of the show getting a dub (and probably of FINAL being licensed and/or dubbed too) are zero. Thanks, guys.

** "Itsuka Hoshi no Umi de - Character Version" is certainly a TearJerker as well.
*** The entire Mobile Unit sacrificing themselves to defeat the 11 Soul Masters or being curbstomped trying to do so. Watching Hyoryu and Enryu overload their Chest Blasters, Big Volfogg's arm turning against him, TenRyuJin being impaled... To this troper, the worst ones were Hyoryu and Enryu's sacrifice and Big Volfogg's self-defeat.
** A different take on this, is the thought of what will happen to GGG after the end of FINAL. They have been exiled from their home planet, they've destroyed the solar system they are in, they are stuck in a collapsing universe... Needless to say, their situation is hopeless, unless they can somehow survive for 8 years, at which time, the Galeoria Comet will return to Earth's orbit.

Gao Gai Gar always was and always will be a kid\'s show. It just happens to be a really awesome one.


* GrowingTheBeard: The first 20 or so episodes are not actually that impressive and reveal the show as the kid's show it was supposed to be... but around episode 27 or so, the quality of the story, the acting, the animation, the hot blood, and the absurdity all takes a sharp uptick and the show grows ever more entertaining from there.

** Both the second official box and the episodes themselves consistently sub the term as [[color:orange: "Za Powaa"]].
** Also, Palparepa's "Inconceivable!" (in the subs at least) after [[spoiler:Evoluder Guy frees himself from the Chemical Bolts]] is extreme Narm to those who have seen ''ThePrincessBride''.
