3Not to be confused with [[Memes/VoltesV Memes]] of ''Anime/VoltesV''.
4----
5!!Please add entries in the following format:
6* The meme. [=[[=]labelnote:Explanation[=]]=]The explanation behind the meme, if necessary.[=[[/=]labelnote[=]]=] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Like this.[[/labelnote]]
7** Further mutations and successor memes, if any.
8----
9Examples of [[MemeticMutation popular memes]] about ''Voltes V: Legacy''.
10
11* "Cancho ayta!"[[labelnote:Explanation]] An unexplained Boazanian word commonly used as an expletive or expression of anger. Fans have had a field day with coming up with whatever offensive meanings the supposed swear word may have, like the Japanese meaning of the similarly sounding word [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kancho "kancho"]] as [[AssShove popularized]] by ''Manga/{{Naruto}}''.[[/labelnote]]
12** "En truva" and "homsak" are other Boazanian insults that have gained popularity in the fandom.
13* Giant Robot Cinematic Universe[[labelnote:Explanation]]Zambojil's boast that he will conquer planets such as Brahmin from ''Anime/{{Daimos}}'', Tau Cetis from ''Anime/CombattlerV'' and Gliese from ''Anime/GoLion'' have had fans hopeful for the potential of a shared universe series similar to the Marvel Universe. With plans of a potential live-action ''Daimos'' adaptation, it may seem possible in the future. [[/labelnote]]
14* The first Beast Fighter to appear in the series is named Dokugaga. This led to [[https://fb.watch/kIGIpevaOx/?mibextid=Nif5oz plenty of Lady Gaga related memes to pop up in social media.]]
15** [[https://m.facebook.com/groups/voltes5legacy/permalink/6641916785851765/?mibextid=Nif5oz Now with animated dancing chibis.]]
16* ∀ Dokugaga/Turn A Dokugaga.[[labelnote:Explanation]]In Japan, the ''Legacy'' version of Dokugaga is called "Turn A Dokugaga" or "∀ Dokugaga" in [[https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm41613050 video comments]], message boards, and forums because of how much Dokugaga looks like the titular Gundam of ''Anime/TurnAGundam''.[[/labelnote]]
17* Starring Creator/MamoruMiyano as "Ignacio".[[labelnote:Explanation]]In the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ux-MNKChlrs "Voltes V: Legacy:]] [[https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm41613050 The World is Under Attack"]] Mega Trailer, during the scene where Commander Robinson says, "It's a Boazanian Beast Fighter," he has a side character soldier standing right beside him: "Ignacio" as played by [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Lucas_(actor) Jon Lucas]]. Japanese commentators from both Website/NicoNicoDouga and Website/YouTube were quick to joke that the soldier is actually played by veteran voice actor Mamoru Miyano of ''Manga/DeathNote'' fame or he (Jon Lucas) might even be the "live-action version of Mamoru Miyano" (as if Miyano is a [[LiveActionCartoon living cartoon]] or [[{{Animesque}} anime character]] himself) due to how closely they [[IdenticalStranger resemble each other]].[[/labelnote]]
18* Palmolive Naturals.[[labelnote:Explanation]]An advertisement for the shampoo and conditioner Palmolive Naturals features Ysabel Ortega, the actress who plays Jamie Robinson, and fittingly appears during TV airings of Voltes V Legacy. Problem is, it tends to pop up during serious dramatic moments, such as Eva attempting to assassinate Jamie, Zunaizer being unleashed to attack the CBF, the reveal of the Solar Falcon, or the explosion of the Posi-Negatron...leading to some serious MoodWhiplash especially with the commercial actually taking up half the screen ''while'' the scene is playing out.[[/labelnote]]
19* The RetroactiveRecognition of Christian Vazquez ended up getting a meme, where Vasquez's commercial role ends up replacing his lines about taking up fine arts with becoming a Boazanian emperor (may or may not include moving to Boazan) or a Tatsulok member (Vasquez played TheBrute to Albert Martinez' (who also played Dr. Smith) BigBad [[spoiler: until he was upstaged by the GreaterScopeVillain Altare syndicate]] in ''The Iron Heart'').
20** Similar memes love to play on the ActorAllusion of the main cast's previous roles. These include Neil Ryan Sese (Dr. Hook) being in ''Encantadia'', Martin Del Rosario (Prince Zardoz) in ''The Panti Sisters'', and Miguel Tanfelix (Steve Armstrong) in ''Mulawin'', to name a few.
21* We have Voltes V at home.[[labelnote:Explanation]][[https://facebook.com/groups/voltes5legacy/permalink/6341796492530464/?mibextid=Nif5oz A parody of the "Mcdonalds at home" meme]] showing the Voltes Team...except it's comprised of Steve from ''Blues Clues'', Mark Zuckerberg, Jon Snow and Jamie Lannister from ''Game of Thrones'' and Big Bird from ''Sesame Street.''[[/labelnote]]
22* Evagaga[[labelnote:Explanation]]Based on a Twitter post by Elle Villanueva (Eva Sanchez) joking "what if I just become a Beast Fighter". When asked by Jamie Robinson actress Ysabel Ortega what her Beast Fighter name would be, she quipped "Evagaga", leading to many memes of her character Eva [[https://m.facebook.com/groups/voltes5legacy/permalink/6640913699285407/?mibextid=Nif5oz as a Beast Fighter]] or [[https://m.facebook.com/groups/voltes5legacy/permalink/6658202954223148/?mibextid=Nif5oz being defeated by the V-slash.]][[/labelnote]]
23* Mark and Big Bert are upside down. [[labelnote:Explanation]] During the Volt-In sequence, the Volt Bomber and the Volt Panzer are shown rotating backwards as they form Voltes V's arms and torso. Fans were quick to joke that in a standing position, Mark and Big Bert would be in an inverted posture in the cockpits, though it can be presumed their cockpits would also rotate like when Jamie's Volt Lander splits in two to form the feet.[[/labelnote]]
24* Unlike the original with a MonsterOfTheWeek format, ''Legacy'' has a more telenovela-style approach to further flesh out characters and storylines. An unfortunate consequence of this is how it takes ''12 episodes'' for the Dokugaga battle teased in episode 1 to actually commence. (''Legacy'' airs Monday to Friday unlike the anime which used to air only once a week.) Memes blew up of the heroes keeping Dokugaga waiting, or Dokugaga itself getting some backstory.
25* The third Beast Fighter of the series, Gardo, became subject to memes comparing him to the character Cardo Dalisay from the hit Filipino TV series ''Series/AngProbinsyano2015''. There were also a handful of memes instead referencing Filipino actor [[MrFanservice Gardo Versoza]].
26* Zardoz and Zandra's bed scene, one of the show's expansions/changes (in the anime, her love for him was mostly unrequited and unnoticed until the very end), made a lot of memes about how ''horny'' they are, with some joking that the show is secretly porn, turning the anime ecchi/into hentai, etc. Some go as far as to joke whether Zardoz also has horns on his "other head", or saying they are [[VisualPun literally horny]]. There are even joking terms for this: "Boldtes V"[[note]]"Bold" is a Filipino English slang term for local erotic PornWithPlot films that were all the rage in the 70s, 80s and 90s until the early 2000s, getting wide theatrical releases even as some early to mid-80s films went hardcore.[[/note]] and "The V in Voltes V stands for Vivamax".[[note]]Vivamax is an online video subscription service that offers not just films released by Viva Films, one of the country's well-known film companies, but also exclusive original softcore erotic films.[[/note]]
27** A modeling photo of Liezel Lopez and Martin del Rosario in seductive poses has also gone viral, with Liezel sitting on Martin's shoulders and him being shirtless in the photo. Jokes quickly took advantage of the picture to imply Zandra and Zardoz's lustful feelings to each other, and their posture on top of each other also inspired memes suggesting that this was how Zandra got inspiration for Dainegu's combination.
28** "Bebe time punishment".
29* On a similar note, Zuhl and Draco fighting over who gets to be Prince Zardoz's right-hand man has also led to plenty of HoYay with memes joking about the two being romantic rivals of Zandra over Zardoz's favor.
30* Emperor Zu Zambojil threatening to make a slave of Zardoz if he fails any more had fans memeing about him turning Zardoz into a ''[[{{Squick}} sex slave]]'', with Princess Leia in Jabba's Palace from ''Star Wars: Episode VI'' being a joking comparison.
31* Broken beyond repair.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Doctor Smith uses an example of ''kintsugi'', or broken pottery fixed with gold, as a symbolic example of how even something broken can become better, and that "no one and nothing is broken beyond repair." Fans, of course, humorously pointed out the one notable exception: the Beast Fighters, which are ''definitely'' broken beyond repair. (And exploded into shrapnel to boot.)[[/labelnote]]
32* The presence of a Boazanian spy inside Camp Big Falcon and the ensuing search for their identity inevitably led to comparisons to ''VideoGame/AmongUs'', with the suspected spies being accused of being "sus".
33* The fourth Beast Fighter Neegu being renamed "Negg" in the adaptation has led to widespread jokes about the racial {{Bowdlerization}} due to the pronunciation of the original sounding too much like [[NWordPrivileges a certain slur]].
34* An exploitable meme template similar to the scene of Captain America being ganged up on by Agent Brock Rumlow and his men inside an elevator[[labelnote:Explanation]]He is attacked by Brock and his comrades who are actually Hydra agents within S.H.I.E.L.D. after he asked them if they want to get out of the elevator prior to fighting his way out in ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier''[[/labelnote]] was made of Prince Zardoz punishing Zuhl with an electric ray, usually involving Zuhl telling bad jokes or [[IncrediblyLamePun awful puns]] and incurring the prince's wrath from his groan-worthy humor.
35* Zambokojil.[[labelnote:Explanation]]A popular Korean-Japanese eat-all-you-can buffet restaurant in the Philippines is known as [[https://www.sambokojin.com/ Sambo Kojin]]. Jokes quickly were made about Emperor Zambojil being a fan of said restaurant or being its owner.[[/labelnote]]
36* [[https://imgur.com/a/4aWfhlY Vaizgander.]][[labelnote:Explanation]]A pun on the name of Vaizanger with Vice Ganda, a Filipino celebrity comedian and gay activist.[[/labelnote]]
37* Voltes V vs. [[Series/KamenRiderRyuki Dragreder]][[labelnote:Explanation]]The fourth Beast Fighter, Negg, vaguely resembles the titular Kamen Rider's [[SignatureMon contract monster]], leading to fans imagining Dragreder being the robot's opponent instead of said Beast Fighter due to being a red, serpentine dragon. Given that ''Ryuki'' is popular among the Philippine ''Kamen Rider'' fandom during the TurnOfTheMillennium in the same way as the original ''Voltes V'' anime was during TheSeventies. For added bonus, both shows were given a [[Series/VoltesVLegacy "foreign"]] [[Series/KamenRiderDragonKnight adaptation]], which received positive reception among Japanese viewers.[[/labelnote]]
38* [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Gollum]] {{Unicorn}} WesternAnimation/{{Megamind}}[[labelnote:Explanation]]A tongue-in-cheek description of Zuhl, who is a bald, big-headed mad scientist with a single horn and a throaty voice.[[/labelnote]]
39* Judy Above All.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Big Bert spending more time with Judy than fulfilling his training has had jokes saying that he misheard duty as Judy in "Duty Above All" and is giving her attention by mistake.[[/labelnote]]
40* Mikasa. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Little Jon's toy boat Mikasa has gotten plenty of joking comparisons to Mikasa Ackerman of ''Anime/AttackOnTitan''.[[/labelnote]]
41* ''Komyuter Payb''.[[labelnote:Explanation]]It's an AffectionateParody by Filipino meme channel PGAG, depicts a parody version of Voltes V but instead formed from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcHvDmObFXI public transport vehicles]], such as a calesa, a jeepney, a tricycle, a bus and a train.[[/labelnote]]
42* Jopay.[[labelnote:Explanation]]A FanNickname given to Eva, due to her resemblance to a member of the Filipino singing and dancing group ''The Sexbomb Girls'' with the same name. Filipino Website/YouTube blogger Nico David first used and popularized the nickname in his reviews of ''Voltes V: Legacy'' episodes.[[/labelnote]]
43* No fishing. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Negg's first attack at the harbor prominently features a "No Fishing" sign. Many audiences joked that it was a rather unsafe place to fish with ''a giant robot serpent on the loose''. Other memes show Negg as apprehending those breaking the rules, or Negg itself being the one getting apprehended for violating the "no fishing" sign.[[/labelnote]]
44* Smug Daiga.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Daiga's face bears an amusingly smug smirk that was ripe for memes. A [[https://facebook.com/groups/voltes5legacy/permalink/6397606250282821/?mibextid=Nif5oz series of memes]] in particular captioned Daiga's expression to all sorts of scenarios involving Daiga acting like he's so smart while completely misunderstanding the situation.[[/labelnote]]
45** Other memes have interpreted Daiga's smirk as a more [[MemeticMolester perverted]] grin, leading to memes and jokes portraying Daiga and Negg [[spoiler: and their combined form Daineegu]] as a CrackPairing of sorts and in a romantic or sexual light.
46* [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} "Prepare for trouble, and make it double!"]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Daiga and Negg are the first Beast Fighters to be deployed at the same time, prompting jokes of the [[Anime/PokemonTheSeries Team Rocket motto]] at the surprise appearance of a second one simultaneously.[[/labelnote]]
47* Superhero Landing.[[labelnote:Explanation]]During the Dainegu arc, Voltes V does the infamous [[ThreePointLanding Superhero Landing]] popularized by Marvel and DC movies. Big Bert even specifically calls it a [[LampshadeHanging "Superhero Landing"]], which was named that way in ''Film/Deadpool2016''. This has led to memes where Yelena Belova/Crimson Widow from ''Film/BlackWidow2021'' calls Voltes V [[https://imgur.com/a/HYnNLcK a poser]].[[/labelnote]]
48* Dainegu's [[SuperWheelchair Roller Form]].[[labelnote:Explanation]]The form led to many jokes about "wheelchair accessibility" or calling Dainegu a cripple. It trying to crush Voltes V with its wheels also got compared with the "Road Roller" scene from ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure''.[[/labelnote]]
49* Bomboz, the sixth Beast Fighter, resembles a mosquito and is said to be an easy defeat for Voltes V. Cue the flood of memes about Baygon bug spray, or "ultra-electromagnetic fly swatter".
50* Apable's seemingly prominent role and sudden unceremonious demise led to plenty of fans making EpilepticTrees jokes about what really happened, ranging from HesJustHiding to jokes about [[ReforgedIntoAMinion him being rebuilt as a Beast Fighter]].
51* Zardoz and Zandra Mall Date.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Actors Liezel Lopez and Martin Del Rosario went on a mall tour in full costume and in character, for a Facebook promo hashtagged #bozziedatesonearth. Memes soon went around poking fun at Zardoz and Zandra seemingly slacking off on the job, with Zuhl being compared to the member in a school project who does all the work, or to Emperor Zambojil berating the two for loitering around instead of trying to conquer the planet.[[/labelnote]]
52** Here's an [[https://imgur.com/a/NtSfqSu expectation vs. reality]] meme about that mall visit regarding Zardoz riding on horseback.
53* Manuel Nabuz, he is a ZARDOZ.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Zardoz's disguise as Manuel Nabuz does not only draw comparisons to [[Franchise/{{Gundam}} Char Aznable's]] "Quattro Bajeena" persona, but also that of [[Series/ChoujinSentaiJetman Radiguet's]] while he was suffering from amnesia. It also specifically references the [[YMMV/MobileSuitZetaGundam ancient Gundam meme]], [[https://imgur.com/a/sMYH4Sb "Captain Quattro, he is a CHAR!"]], which is a humorous on-screen {{Engrish}} statement found in ''Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam''.[[/labelnote]]
54* Zardoz transforms into [[Film/ThePantiSisters Daniel Panti]] [[labelnote:Explanation]] A previous role of Martin Del Rosario has him [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Philippines/comments/14q7yqi/henshin/ cross-dressing as one of the Panti Sisters.]] Memes soon blew up joking about the attire being Zardoz's disguise or secret identity.[[/labelnote]]
55* Jetman V.[[labelnote:Explanation]]The LoveTriangle between Steve, Mark, and Jamie led to a plethora of comparisons to that of Ryu, Gai, and Kaori from ''Series/ChoujinSentaiJetman''. Filipino ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' fans [[https://twitter.com/newkenjikun07/status/1661710487602745347 are quick to]] [[https://twitter.com/UkiyaSeed/status/1661743286900645888 notice this]], especially those who watched ''Jetman'' in TheNineties, given that this is one of the more popular ''Sentai'' series to be broadcasted in the Philippines. Radson Flores also [[IdenticalStranger kind of]] [[{{Expy}} looks like]] Gai Yuuki's actor, [[https://twitter.com/ShinMoondaze/status/1663108710905053184 Toshihide Wakamatsu]].[[/labelnote]]
56* Robot Ned quickly became a meme among fans of Dennis Trillo, with some jokingly comparing his glowing red eyes to his previous role in ''Encantadia''. Being a robot assassin with metal claws, the Terminator and Wolverine references also went abound.
57* [[NamedAfterSomeoneFamous Beast Fighter]] [[Film/{{Gamera}} Gamera's]] very late appearance ([[ShoutOut Gamenza]] was supposed to tag-team with [[AdaptationNameChange Namazungo]] in the anime) has fans poking fun about it being a turtle and thus being too slow to come to Namazuka's aid.
58** It resembling a spiky-shelled and fire-breathing turtle also led to many fans comparing it to Bowser from the [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario series]].
59** And for those familiar with local TV, some compared it to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pong_Pagong Pong Pagong]], a Muppet-like turtle character from the Filipino children's show ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batibot Batibot]]''.
60** Gamera literally being named "Gamera" instead of the original "Gamenza" led to jokes referencing Austin Powers's "It looks like Godzilla, but due to international copyright laws it is not!". [[https://m.facebook.com/groups/voltes5legacy/permalink/6607192962657481/?ref=share&mibextid=CDWPTG Some edits add the original Gamera theme]] to Beast Fighter Gamera.
61** Gamera being the only Beast Fighter to never fight the combined Voltes V and be destroyed easily by the Volt Bomber and Volt Panzer jamming its chest cannon has led to it being a bit of a MemeticLoser. Some of the fans were confused by Gamera's explosion and were wondering why it didn't reappear.
62* "Move It!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Dr. Larry Hook's catchphrase "Move It!" has been widely memed, with many comparing it to "I Like To Move It" song by King Julien from ''Franchise/{{Madagascar}}'', or inserting him into shipping company ads that "move" things.[[/labelnote]]
63** Even the original [[https://www.facebook.com/100007643617116/videos/275273135133889/ Philippine English dub]] is retroactively getting [[HilariousInHindsight into the meme]].
64** His surname Hook also leads to quite a few pirate-related jokes.
65** That also includes jokes about his first name being revealed to be [[TomTheDarkLord Larry]].
66* Voltes V's Grand Fire.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Revealed during the fight with Zairus: Ground Form, the Grand Fire attack led to ''plenty'' of off-color jokes due to it being a flamethrower located ''uncomfortably'' close to Voltes V's crotch (okay, so belt buckle, but still.) Many jokes arose from Voltes V urinating on their enemies, or suggesting they need to see a doctor due to a [[AccidentalInnuendo "burning sensation"]].[[/labelnote]]
67* Zairus the Beast Fighter is fairly memetic, with jokes associating it to Jake Zyrus, comparing it to ''Franchise/{{Zoids}}'' or a [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersRangers Power Rangers Dinozord]], or poking fun at the ridiculous image of a flying Triceratops jet.
68* General Ospac.[[labelnote:Explanation]]The ''Legacy'' version of General Oslak/Oslack (or Do Bergan in the original anime) somehow has the [[https://imgur.com/a/H0kGID8 same looks and lithe build]] as Philippine boxing legend and eight-division world champion Creator/MannyPacquiao. [=YouTuber=] Nico David has also referenced this in his video reviews of the show.[[/labelnote]]
69* Okozenia being another fish Beast Fighter after Namazuka led to many jokes about Big Bert finding it appetizing too. Some have expressed dismay at the crab-like Beast Fighter Kanigan not appearing, joking that it could have joined the two fish as a "seafood platter".
70* Desler, being a green-hued Beast Fighter with a bow, became commonly compared to the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_La_Salle_Green_Archers De La Salle Green Archers]], a well-known college basketball team in the Philippines. Some saw it as a wasted opportunity that the Mechanical Eagle was colored red and not blue, as the La Salle Green Archers are well-known for their [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ateneo-La_Salle_rivalry rivalry with another university team]] called the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ateneo_Blue_Eagles Ateneo Blue Eagles]].
71** Then again, at least the beak of the Mechanical Eagle is coincidentally colored blue, so there's that.
72* Daiand, Dorion and Giron being replaced by a ring, a plague-spreading spaceship fleet and two human-sized Boazanians have led to memes joking about the budget, or portraying the Beast Fighters themselves annoyed at getting cheated out of a chance to appear in the remake.
73* Contessa Zaki.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Duke Zaki being turned into a woman for the remake had fans joking about Zaki being transgender, or the male anime Zaki "losing the sperm race". Some think the gender-swap was to add romantic tension against Zandra, which led to many memes of Zandra being jealous of her for Zardoz's affection.[[/labelnote]]
74** There's a meme going around about how [[Anime/CombattlerV Empress Janera]] is upset that her [[GenderFlip girl best friend]] [[https://twitter.com/KEVS58945106/status/1694217302215184459/ Contessa Zaki]] got killed.
75* Battle of the action stars' daughters.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Episode 75 features a fight between Jamie and Arisa, which is interesting due to their actresses being daughters of famous action stars. Ysabel Ortega, who plays Jamie, is the daughter of Lito Lapid; while Kylie Padilla, who plays Arisa, is the daughter of Robin Padilla. LamarckWasRight is in effect here.[[/labelnote]]
76* The ''very'' late appearance of [[OurHydrasAreDifferent Suneizaa/Zunaizer]] caught everyone off-guard, yet fan reactions suggest it to be a pleasant surprise. Some expressed relief at ''finally'' getting a Beast Fighter again and others joking about the first Beast Fighter to appear out of order.
77** Zunaizer has also been referenced in the [[Characters/MonsterVerseKingGhidorah King Ghidorah]] meme [[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/three-headed-dragon "Three-Headed Dragon"]], resulting in posts such as [[https://facebook.com/groups/voltes5legacy/permalink/6633895683320542/?mibextid=Nif5oz this]] and [[https://imgur.com/a/5tDphTi that]].
78* [[https://m.facebook.com/groups/voltes5legacy/permalink/6658475504195893/?mibextid=Nif5oz Disappearing Dr. Hook.]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Once Eva is exposed for her murder attempts, she opens fire on Dr. Hook: who turns out to be a hologram and promptly vanishes. Fans quickly made memes of Hologram! Dr. Hook fading into thin air, joking about running away from responsibilities or dads going "to buy milk" in the same vein as the "Nileseyy Niles Disappears" meme. [[/labelnote]]
79* Camp Big Chicken.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Some fans find the appearance of Camp Big Falcon more closely resembling a chicken than a falcon. The meme garnered further traction [[https://m.facebook.com/groups/voltes5legacy/permalink/6668551939854916/?mibextid=Nif5oz after a map of the CBF was labeled]] "wing part" and "breast part", leading to many jokes about fried chicken.[[/labelnote]]
80* The Solar Bird combining with Camp Big Falcon led to some [[https://m.facebook.com/groups/voltes5legacy/permalink/6662848353758608/?mibextid=Nif5oz predictable off-color humor]]. The fact that the camp, the Mechanical Eagle and now the Solar Bird have all been avian-themed has also led to memetic flanderization about how much Ned Armstrong likes birds.
81* As the show neared its finale, reaching the Solar Falcon arc, many fans expressed concern (joking or otherwise) that the show would get banned again, due to the current president being the son of Ferdinand Marcos who then banned the series for its subversive themes.
82** Due to this issue some have satirically referred to President Marcos Jr. as "Prince Marcoz".
83* Voltes V [[TankGoodness Tank Mode]].[[labelnote:Explanation]]Japan [[https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/lifestyle/hobbiesandactivities/881286/voltes-v-legacy-pays-homage-to-toy-original-tank-mode-earns-praises-from-japanese-fans/story/ really loved]] the surprise Tank Mode of Voltes V when the Voltes Team landed in Boazan, leading to [[https://imgur.com/a/IzdIhqk nostalgic memes]] and [[https://www.instagram.com/p/Cw1kAuDRT-C/ positive comments]] on Twitter and beyond.[[/labelnote]]
84* Zardoz's helmet [[spoiler: as he pilots the final Beast Fighter Godor]] has been memetically compared to the Anime/{{Pokemon}} [[Characters/{{Pokemon}} Slowking]] due to its spiked, conical shape.
85** Godor [[Anime/AfterWarGundamX Double X]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Godor's [[ShoulderCannon shoulder-mounted]] {{BFG}}s led to comparisons with Gundam Double X's Twin Satellite Cannons, or to an extent the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Freedom Gundam's]] Balaena Plasma Cannons, which functions similarly with Double X's Twin Satellite Cannons. Some people online even joked that Zardoz was screaming in the end because he wasn't a Newtype pilot so he went insane using those twin cannons on Voltes V.[[/labelnote]]
86* Contessa, the mother of Zambojil, being crushed to death by Godor's ThreePointLanding has been subject to many BlackComedy jokes, comparing her to other anime characters who similarly died of being crushed.
87* With all the hype surrounding the potential future ''Daimos'' adaptation, further fueled by the repeated name drops of the planet Brahmin and even Campbell from ''Combattler V'', many fans expressed disappointment at the lack of any [[TheStinger post-credits scene]] or teaser, joking that they were "clickbaited".
88* Baron Zander/Xander, who dies along with Oslak in the anime, instead escapes here via teleporter...and vanishes entirely. Fans have had increasingly wild EpilepticTrees ideas on where he went, some suggesting his survival could tie in to ''Daimos'' or joking that he suffered a BusCrash and just died offscreen.
89* "At least I am, because I don't have a mother who worked here at the camp. I don't have a mother anymore."[[labelnote:Explanation]]Mark (Ippei) says this in episode 1. Many people found this line cringy for how unnecessary it was, and the r/Phillippines subreddit has mocked it back and forth[[/labelnote]]
