1* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: While it's understandable they'd want to do something about the crime syndicate sending {{Bioweapon Beast}}s to attack people, the Central City police department can come off as very authoritarian if one examines the Anti-Bioron Law that Jiban operates under. It's terrifyingly broad -- if Jiban comes to the conclusion that you are a Bioron agent, you get an Autoderringer shot to the face. It starts with "Jiban can arrest people without a warrant" and ends with "Jiban may exterminate[[note]]The actual word, used repeatedly in the Bioron Law, is "Massatsu", basically meaning "extermination" in the "kill everyone" fashion.[[/note]] anything that disrupts the peace of all life".
2* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: This is a ''Series/MetalHeroes'' series, so Akira Kushida gets LOTS of work. The opening theme ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVKtnSTczqI&feature=related Kidou Keiji Jiban]]) and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hvyaOCLwr4 Perfect Jiban]] sum things up nicely.
3* CompleteMonster: [[MadScientist Doctor Giba]] is the cruel leader of [[NebulousEvilOrganization Bioron]] who seeks to use biochemistry to [[TakeOverTheWorld conquer the world]]. Originally a being born from a chemical spill, Giba saw his nature as proof of humanity's evil and sought to subjugate them in return. To this end, Giba sent his Bioron agents to kidnap dozens of humans to experiment on, including Naoto's parents and little sister. When Jiban opposes him, Giba kidnaps his child companion Mayumi and turns her into an unwilling suicide bomber to kill Jiban. After his agents destroy Jiban, Giba wages an all-out attack on Japan, leveling entire city blocks and attacking people with killer bees carrying a HatePlague. Giba is even cruel to his own minions, killing his assistants Marsha and Karsha in cold blood for failing to die against Jiban. In the finale, Giba uses Mayumi as a HumanShield against Jiban before attempting to bombard every country in the world with his missiles out of spite.
4* HilariousInHindsight: Jiban, based off of Franchise/RoboCop, gets a jetpack. Later, so does [=RoboCop=] in [[Film/RoboCop3 his third movie]].
5* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff:
6** Do you know the show was insanely popular on the 90s back in Panama? No? Well, now you do.
7** Add Honduras too, the show was huge back in the 90s.
8** And don't forget about Brazil. Jiban is right there with [[Series/KyojuuTokusouJuspion Juspion]], [[Series/SekaiNinjaSenJiraiya Jiraiya]], [[Series/DengekiSentaiChangeman Changeman]], [[Series/ChoushinseiFlashman Flashman]], [[Series/HikariSentaiMaskman Maskman]] and [[Series/DennouKeisatsuCybercop the Cybercops]].
9** It's also very fondly remembered in Perú from its airing in Panamericana Televisión.
10*** The airing of this show on the former two countries is the reason why there's Spanish fansubs of it on Youtube. No really, all the episodes are subbed in Spanish!
11** It's also very popular in Indonesia in the 90s.
