* EvilIsSexy: All the female Grongis' human form, except maybe for Go-Jaaza-Gi, are designed to look sinisterly attractive. However, Go-Bemiu-Gi take this one step further with her leg-revealing black cheongsam and ''especially'' her high-legged black swimsuit when she is going for the kill. No wonder she is among ''Kuuga's'' most memorable Grongi.

Missed that.


* SpecialEffectFailure: They ''really'' should have stuck to practical effects for the monster explosions. They look like something out of a [=PS1=] game. At the same time, this allowed them to have explosions in locations that would have been suicidally absurd to use practical effects in/on, and made some of the NightmareFuel possible in the first place.

* RetroactiveRecognition: While not a very major seiyuu in the anime industry, Sugita's actor, Creator/TakashiMatsuyama, is a recurring name in the industry, often in lesser roles, but having some major roles such as [[Anime/ZoidsGenesis Ra Kan]], [[Anime/TransformersRobotsInDisguise God Magnus]][[note]]Ultra Magnus in English[[/note]], [[Anime/YuGiOh Para (the elder Paradox Brother)]], and [[Anime/DigimonAdventure2020 Algomon and Negamon]]

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: ''Kuuga'' is the first Heisei series to get a manga adaptation. Thing is, this is being written by Creator/ToshikiInoue, a writer known for making nice guys (like Yusuke) into [[ButtMonkey utter jokes]].



* WinBackTheCrowd: While not the ''first'' entry in the Heisei era, the ''Kamen Rider'' franchise had been in a slow decline for several years, limiting its output to the occasional movie but not much else. Once ''Kuuga'' entered the picture, the franchise's popularity soared to its former glory, and it now generates a new series ''every year''.

* FashionVictimVillain: While plenty of the Grongi wear strange outfits that make them stick out like a sore thumb on the streets (if their behaviour didn't already give that away), Me·Garido·Gi deserves a special mention for being even more bizarre-looking ({{Cloudcuckoolander and bizarre-acting}}) than the rest. He wears a helmet with multi-colored strips of tape in cross patterns on it and a rubber tube wrapped around it, a green "Safety First" armband (that's stuck directly to his skin), hobo gloves, an ascot, black and yellow rope wrapped around his waist and attached to his ascot, and pants and boots that have the same crossed tape pattern that his helmet has. Even punks at the height of the punk genre's popularity would say he's trying too hard to be unfashionable.
