*** An OVA for the end of WARS did alleviate the feeling, but the fact that only Ban's fate is known still brought some ire from those who wanted to know the fate of the other cast (worth noting that this OVA is based on the epilogue of the japan exclusive novel LBX Retsuden: History of Justice)
* WhatAnIdiot: Yoshimitsu, Muneto, and Kamiya declare that the Innovator will win at Artemis. Not only is Kaidou’s grandson [[TheRival Jin]], a.k.a. [[TheAce Split-Second Killing Emperor]] competing, but they also have Yuuya Haibara, a powerful test subject that can control his LBX. The two will be fighting in different Blocks, meaning once they get to the finals, the Innovator have two members against three random opponents and their chances of winning the tournament succeed.
** '''You’d Expect''': Kaidou or someone at Innovator near the Battle Royale would tell Jin and instruct Yuuya that they are both Innovator, so they should work together to defeat the other finalists (Ban, Masquerade J, and Ota Red), and claim the Metanoia GX. In fact, Jin realizes that Kamiya Craft and Innovator have worked out before, and Yuuya might be connected to his allies, so they should be able to win even easier than expected..
** '''Instead''': Jin and Yuuya fight the battle royale seeing each other as enemies instead of allies and Kanou decides to finally test Psycho Scanning Mode in the middle of battle despite Yuuya doing fine in the battle. The end result is basically: PS Mode turns Yuuya insane, Jin realizes the Innovator and his father are corrupt, Jin teams up with Ban to save Yuuya, and afterwards, Jin loses to Ban, which wouldn’t have happened had Judge and Emperor been on the same side.
** '''Even Worse''': Jin sees the truth, and betrays his father without him ever finding out the truth. The Innovator lose Yuuya as a test player and as a valuable pawn, they never get the real Metanoia GX, and their fallback plan finally convinces Eiji to quit the Innovator. By not making sure that their allies are working together, the Innovator leaders began what contributed to their demise in the second half of the anime & games and lose three prominent and powerful soldiers in their ranks.

** Hades is this when you first play the game. His attacks are slow and easy to avoid despite being a major threat in the anime, and his spheres hardly pose a threat to the player. But god help you if you're battling him in New Game Plus as an extremely underpowered Fenrir or on the Ranking Battle in your first time, as he's way stronger in the latter case.
* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic:
** ''Great Future War'', the game's theme song. And ''One Dream'', the anime's opening.
** Danball Senki [[UpdatedRerelease Boost]]'s opening theme, ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X23bz1G4lVQ Fighting Pose]]'' is even more action packed and while the localization removes the Japanese lyrics, the instrumentals are still a banger.
** For Danball Senki W, there's the 3rd opening for the anime, ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHxG10An_yU 2 Spirits,]]'' and the game's opening, ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PVM3Eh2cDk&feature=plcp Legend.]]''
* BaseBreakingCharacter: Ryuu[=/=]Gabe is either seen to the fans as a funny, bumbling, and yet {{Adorkable}} friend to the other main characters, an annoying StalkerWithACrush who’s trying too hard to get with Ami while being a {{Jerkass}} to his other friends while also being a major coward and a horrible LBX player, or an example of [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter a wasted character alongside Mika that could have contributed more to the core trio and improved enough to be a worthy ally]].
** Alferdo Gardyne (Alfred Gordon): Fans either see him [[spoiler: as one of the best villains in the series, or a BigBad who doesn’t stand up to Kaidou’s greatness and ManipulativeBastard standards, not helped by being upsered ]].
* BrokenBase: The international issues overall have received a mix reception for the past six years. To be more specific....
** The announcement of the dub. Many were glad that a Level-5 series would be released into America, but others feared that the game’s uniqueness would be off putting to Americans, and the anime might be censored considering how dark the franchise can get.
** When the dub was released and finished, fans of both sides found out that the series was being abridged from 44 episodes to 26 episodes with scenes, events, and plotlines altered and removed albeit telling the same story. There are three camps: one group who witnessed it for the first time enjoyed the series overall for the first time mostly due to the acting and the plot, a second group who felt the anime should’ve never been abridged in the first place since there are animes with darker events on tv, and a third camp that are fine with the dub, but wish that the reducing the number of episodes wasn’t necessary or hope for an uncut dub. A fourth group also enjoyed that scenes that felt too much like filler were removed altogether.
** Nintendo’s marketing with the game. Though they did a fair amount of marketing, it was nowhere near the efforts of other games Nintendo was releasing at the time, and many fans believed that Nintendo should’ve advertised the game more since it was mostly the fans and the voice actors supporting the game. Even some reviewers agreed.
* CreepyAwesome: Yuuya under the Innovator’s control. He’s dangerous, powerful, and mentally broken while not short of awesome with his LBX.
** Hades, a virtual demonic LBX named after the Greek god of the underworld that can kick Odin and Hunter’s butt without breaking a sweat.
* CrossesTheLineTwice: Otacross in ''W''. An important download relies entirely on his hacking skill to fend off a cyberattack, up until he realizes he's spent, and can only recover with... the power of {{Moe}}. And the two girls on the team won't touch that one with a 10-mile Sparkbload, so Otacross busts out his own virtual girls ''modeled perfectly on the real ones'' to cheer for him. Ooookay. Getting creepy there...
* EnsembleDarkhorse: Mika, see TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter
** Yuusuke[=/=]Damon was loved by many to the point that [[spoiler: his death crushed the majority of the fanbase]].
** The Otaku Rangers are very loved from both sides of the ocean, especially due to their idiotic tendencies, {{Sentai}} references, and for half of them falling under CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass.
* FanNickname: Cardboard Gundam as "Danball Senki" means "Cardboard war chronicle".
* HilariousInHindsight: Not only does Kazuya share the hairstyle of [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII Irvine Kinneas]], he also has a hangup over a sniper mission ''during a parade!''
** ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'' fans will get a laugh out of [[{{Jobber}} the Middle East LBX team]], the Al-''Shaheen'' brothers [[InherentlyFunnyWords for totally different reasons]].
** The show features Otaku Rangers on Creator/Nicktoons, the same time as when Creator/Nickelodeon [[{{Franchise/PowerRangers}} received an certain American based sentai franchise]].
* HoYay: Considering its [[VideoGame/InazumaEleven sister series]] was infamous for it, there’s no surprised there are a ton of moments, ranging from Hanzou and Daiki to Ban and Jin several times.
* MemeticMutation: There's a lot.
** Canonically, Jin calls Ban "Ban-kun" but tends to trail off on the "-un". In fandom, this gets rendered as "Bank!"
** Many refer to the LBX as “Mini Gundams”, Chibi Robo [[{{Expy}} Expies]]
** Hanz/Gouda is referred to as [[Anime/GurrenLagann Kamina’s grandson]].
* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: The entire series revolves around 13 year olds with 6 inch robots that save the world from crime syndicates and terrorists with everything being taken as SeriousBusiness. These are Creator/Level5 series’ specialty.
** Hakai-OZ has Chainsaw swords as WEAPONS!
* MoralEventHorizon: Seredy Kleisler and Ayabe in ''Wars'' has crossed it when [[spoiler: (non-lethally) gassing students whose LBX were destroyed during War Time]].
* {{Narm}}: The anime; granted it's for kids, but there are some points that tend to be pretty funny when they aren't [[SeriousBusiness supposed to be.]]
* NarmCharm: Fans were drawn into the fact that there are 6 inch robots that are capable of saving the world, hacking, customizations, insane SeriousBusiness and unique plot.
* PragmaticAdaptation: While the games are great by many, the anime expands on more concepts, battles, and events of the game while keeping the anime. For example when Amy gets Pandora in the games, Yuusuke/Damon just offers it to her since she deserved it just by figuring out the secret to the MysteriousProtector before being attacked by the NDR. However in the anime after she solves the mystery, the NDR attack and Pandora gets severely damaged, which gives Damon the idea to let her use Pandora and with Kaz’s help, Pandora is able to defeat the NDR’s LBX.
** W also added the BC Extra Cosplay Tournament in between the Brinton and Camberlin arcs when you have to finish the game before the tournament is accessible.
* StrawmanHasAPoint: ''Danball Senki Wars''. [[spoiler:Regardless of how the kids feel about fighting on behalf of real world leaders, the fact remains that there are no more casualties of war this way.]]
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Many fans feel this way about Mika as she was a PerkyGoth and a Gloomy Goth, a funny DeadpanSnarker, a capable LBX battler, and her [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys crush on]] Hanz, but ends up being releagated to a side character without much more development.
* SuperlativeDubbing: Many agree that the voice acting for the dub is good especially with the emotional scenes, as the Japanese version tended to act {{Narm}}y during these moments.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: In ''W'', Kirito is the first to discover that [[spoiler:the supposed BigBad, the head of Omega Dyne, has been murdered. No attempt is made by the ManBehindTheMan to frame Kirito for it.]]
** Hands up everyone who REALLY wanted a WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue for the first two seasons' guys at the end of ''Wars''.
