1* AdaptationDisplacement: Most modern viewers know of this series primarily because of the [[Wrestling/JushinThunderLiger professional wrestler it inspired.]]
2* CompleteMonster (from the manga):
3** [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen Empress Zara]], [[TheHeavy the main villain]] for much of the story, is a [[PsychoSupporter vicious fanatic]] dedicated to restoring Emperor Drago from his prison. Attacking Hokkaido, Zara has countless innocents slaughtered, demanding her followers "bring her human suffering" before deciding to attack Tokyo to wipe it off the face of the map and kill every human there. Zara repeatedly spends the series ordering horrific massacres and atrocities, intending on utterly [[KillAllHumans exterminating humanity]] to revive Drago and see the victory of evil itself.
4** [[SealedEvilInACan Emperor Drago]], [[BigBad the other main villain]], previously [[OmnicidalManiac wiped out almost all life on Earth]]. A pure evil monster, Drago celebrates his revival by [[UngratefulBastard killing Zara]], gloating she should feel proud to feed his new strength, before deciding to exterminate all that lives to empower himself. Drago then faces off with Liger, gloating as he attempts to bring an apocalypse in which there will be no survivors, from where Drago will just move on to enslave and kill all else in his path.
5%%* NightmareFuel: Hoo boy, where do we begin...?
6* ValuesDissonance: Ken's habit of skirt-flipping nowadays wouldn't mesh well with modern viewer, as this is considered straight-up sexual harassment rather than him being just being a mischievous little kid, especially since he's supposed to be the [[DesignatedHero hero]]. Moreover, it has become a lot more rare for anime/manga leads to be openly perverted, and has become more relegated to ButtMonkey side characters.
7** The series has a lot of Fanservice, some of which goes well beyond panty shots, that could never be found on a modern anime aimed at younger viewers.
8* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: Despite being aimed towards young boys, this anime has a lot of [[FamilyUnfriendlyViolence violence]] and [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath death]] (which even includes [[DeathOfAChild children]]). It's not even to mention the fanservice.
