* JerkassWoobie: Oh dear. Harulu, Doba, JerkassWoobie:
** Harulu. Despite being a loyal Buff Clan commander who disinherits
and Sheryl.shames her younger sister, Karala, she has her own issues. As the oldest daughter of the Supreme Commander of the Buff Clan military, she's raised to become a warrior who has to disregard her emotions and focus on her duty to her people with so many expectations on her shoulders. As the show goes on, she loses several of her trusted officers including her lover, Darama, in the war against the Solo Ship. By then, she becomes more enraged at the humans. When she learns Karala is pregnant, she kills her in cold blood because she's distraught that Karala gets to have a child with a man she loves who is the enemy while she lost Darama.
** Sheryl. Initially, she has a huge interest in the Ideon and the Solo Ship and often clashes with some of the crew members, particularly Karala. However, she grows out of her dislike of Karala and falls in love with Gije who defected from the Buff Clan. In the latter part of the story, Sheryl starts to lose the people she loved such as her sister Lin, who was killed by the Ajian commander, and then, Gije, who dies in combat. At that point, Sheryl's mental health worsens and in ''Be Invoked'', puts Piper Lou in danger of invoking Ideon until she dies.

** Gije crossed it by ordering sub-light missiles if they aren't hand over the Ideon to them. This action was, later slapped by Karala and [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone this leads him regret of his horrible decision.]] Thankfully, this sequence was completely averted in the movie version.
** Harulu as this. She killed Lotta and later shot her pregnant sister, Karala in out of spite. And her father even approves it.

* MisaimedMarketing: A number of Ideon toys, [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids marketed for children]], was produced by Popy before Tomino created the anime series. After the show didn't turn out as Popy expected, Tomino [[https://nekketsunikki.com/2019/07/07/tomino-yoshiyuki-japan-expo-2019-july-6/ warned that this is the lesson for every toy company and that "companies shouldn't make toys before the anime"]].

* CommonKnowledge: [[spoiler:Perhaps the most well known fact about the show was that the Ideon blew up the universe and then recreated it near the end of the series. Except that is just an exaggeration, While the Ideon did indeed explode, it only took out a solar system with the blast before it faded not long afterwards. The fact that the scars from the shows previous battles are clearly shown after the fact just makes this clearer]].

It doesn't help that the Gundam vs. Ideon manga by Yuuichi Hasegawa asserts the same misconception.

* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: At the time, DownerEnding and MindScrew were so shocking and depressing in this show that ratings began to fall sharply, and the studio reduced the number of episodes. Now its despair is more likely to be treated as MemeticMutation and NarmCharm because of the nature of the "strange old mecha show".

** If you've heard the ending of the series before watching it and started to watch this show in our time, its absurdly excessive cruelty, especially in combination with the old-fashioned anime, can get very much into this trope. Up to the point that it will be perceived as an evil parody of the old MechaGenre.
