* OnceOriginalNowOverdone: D-boy's {{Angst}}-ridden lone-wolf shtick is a bit grating today, but it was far from common in the era the show aired in, when there hadn't been countless Cloud Strife/Sasuke Uchiha characters to make everyone sick of it.

Sure, the OVA itself is not completely rescued, but at least the concepts and potentials have been salvaged over time.

Nothing funny about this; complaining.

* {{Narm}}: The U.S. dub's insertion of constant light-hearted battle quips for D-boy in his Tekkaman form are incredibly out-of-place and out-of-character attempts to add the precious early-ninties commodity known as "'tude" to a character who didn't need it.

Indentation. Deleting Sugar Wiki ZCEs. Major villains do not qualify for Ensemble Dark Horse.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: The English dub casts a different take on Shinya's character, so Japanese fans see him as an innocent victim of the Radam while English-speaking fans see him rather as someone who was already twisted and relished in the opportunity given to him by the Radam to kill his brother, torture his own sister into suicide and terrorize an entire planet. The Burning Clock special strongly suggests that while Shinya had resentments towards his brother, he did not enjoy what the Radam turned him into.

** Tekkaman Evil for being the character who [[KnightOfCerebus marks the turning point where the show gets real]]. He is definitely the most iconic villain of the entire series.
