History YMMV / KamenRiderV3

* HarsherInHindsight: Destron are a terrorist {{cult}} and one of there schemes involves carrying out a gas attack. In 1995, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_subway_sarin_attack a terrorist attack involving sarin gas]] was carried out in Japan by the real life cult Aum Shinrikyo.

* SpecialEffectFailure: As prone to this as most other Showa Era Kamen Riders. It's obvious when the actor has been replaced by a dummy during especially dangerous special effects. When Baron Tusk fights against the Three Riders his prop spear is broken in certain cuts and flops around uselessly whilst other cuts it holds together fine. Another time when Fireball Walrus sends fireballs at people the wires holding up the burning objects are quite clearly visible.

** Many fans have joked that Destron, shared their name with the Deception faction in much of the Japanese Transformers media. Much later in a tie in to the ''ComicBook/TheTransformersMoreThanMeetsTheEye'' comic [[http://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/d/d1/ReluctantSpecialist-V3.jpg this Deception showed up]].

** The Great Leader resurfaced here in ''[[Series/KamenRiderV3 V3]]'', where he would create the organization Destron and attempted to launch Operation: Japan Annihilation, which would release DeadlyGas across the entire country and take the lives of millions; he even attempted to throw his own son in a pool of acid for defying him.
** Colonel Zol from the original series returns. See YMMV/KamenRider for details.
** [[InsaneAdmiral Marshal Armor]] is the fourth and final Destron Commander. When he assumes command of Destron, his first act is to plant evidence against their head scientist, Jōji Yuki, whom he views as a threat, and execute him via acid pit. Knowing the man values his hands for his work, Armor begins the execution by burning one off first. From there, Armor launches a number of deadly schemes, including attempting to cover Tokyo in [[DeadlyGas nerve gas]], kidnapping children for slave labor, and [[WouldHurtAChild unleashing Vampire-Chameleon on more children]] to feed off their blood. When Vampire-Chameleon kills a pair of his own men, Armor coldly remarks that [[LackOfEmpathy if they weren't so weak they wouldn't have died]]. When ordered by the Destron Leader to [[NukeEm launch a nuclear assault on Tokyo]], Armor kidnaps a scientist's family to force him to work on the weapon. When he frees the heroes, Armor has him killed, and hangs his corpse outside the Destron base as a warning to all who would defy him.
