* ArcFatigue: Of the Myth Stall variety. The manga has been on-going for ''30 years'' and has over ''49 volumes'' by now and we ''still'' don't get told whether Maya or Ayumi will be the official Crimson Goddess Successor!
* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: The original 23-episode anime TV series from 1984 was taken off the air early due to poor ratings. However, it became very popular in Europe after it was broadcast there, popular enough in Italy for the original manga to be released there in later years. And it is remembered enough in Japan to have received an HD remastered release there in 2016 in commemoration of the manga's 40th anniversary.
* LesYay: Maya and Ayumi have ''so much'' of this, mostly out of TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou territory. The second ending song to the newest anime ''does not help''.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: The title theme tune of the 1984 anime sounds a lot like Creator/IreneCara's "Flashdance... What a Feeling."
