''What is love?? It means to never stop!!''\\
''Gavan! Say good bye to tears, Gavan!''\\

** When Gavan starts riding on Gavion in the latter half of the series, what we see is an obvious figure of him standing on a toy car, just like with Doru. Thing is, at one point we see Gavan -- the actual actor -- from behind just motionlessly holding his right fist foward the whole time like that can sell the effect any better.
