* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Given TheReveal in the final two episodes that [[spoiler:Pandora and Waller are effectively the same being]], was [[spoiler:Waller [[TheManInFrontOfTheMan Pandora's puppet]] or was it [[TheManBehindTheMan the other way around]]? Since Waller disappears after Pandora is killed, it's implied to be the former.]]
* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: [[https://youtu.be/cltIx2PCFEg The show’s OP and two EDs are pretty cool]].
* BigLippedAlligatorMoment:
** Episode 7 has the Mooks getting stoned in the middle of a fight.
** Episode 16 ends with Spielban standing on a beach and singing his DoItYourselfThemeTune. It has little to do with the rest of the episode and is basically {{Padding}}.
* CompleteMonster: [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen Queen Pandora]] is the true ruler of the [[PlanetLooters Waller Empire]], using their supposed deity Waller as a means of keeping her subordinates in line through fear. Driven [[ItsAllAboutMe purely by a desire to sustain her own life]], Pandora ravaged numerous planets for their resources, including Spielban and Diana's homeworld of Clin. Seeking the genius of Clin biologist Doctor Ben for her own ends, Pandora forcibly converts him into [[EvilGenius Doctor Bio]] and later makes him [[UnwillingRoboticization roboticize]] his own daughter into the cyborg assassin Hellvira. Her other subordinates fare little better under her rule; she tricks Shadow, Gasher and Deathzero into going on suicide missions and petrifies Rikki into a throne to sit on as punishment for questioning her.
* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Like its predecessor ''[[Series/KyojuuTokusouJuspion Juspion]]'', ''Spielban'' was popular in Brazil and even got its own Brazilian-exclusive comic series where he met Juspion.
* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: Episode 30, which sees Helen [[spoiler:''finally'' reunited with her little brother Spielban. It quicks escalates to awesome an episode later when she forms a PowerTrio with Spielban and Diana.]]
* HilariousInHindsight:
** When it comes to [[DoubleWeapon double-bladed]] {{Laser Sword}}s, Spielban has [[Film/ThePhantomMenace Darth Maul]] beat by 13 years.
** "Pandora" is also one letter off from [[Series/KyoryuSentaiZyuranger the role]] Creator/MachikoSoga would become most famous in the west for playing.
* LoveToHate: Queen Pandora is wrathful, psychopathic and [[ItsAllAboutMe utterly self-concerned]], but Creator/MachikoSoga does such a good job playing her that she's just ''fun'' to root against.
* MoralEventHorizon:
** Queen Pandora crosses it not only by [[UnwillingRoboticization forcibly roboticizing]] Dr. Ben into Doctor Bio, but also by forcing him to perform that same procedure on his daughter Helen to turn her into Hellvira.
** Emperor Guillotine crosses it when he [[spoiler:manipulates Shadow and Gasher into becoming unknowing suicide bombers and sends them on a SuicideMission against Spielban.]]
* {{Narm}}: Spielban flashing back to his childhood every time he performs his FinishingMove on a MonsterOfTheWeek. The first time isn't too bad, but him doing it every time just feels overdramatic. Thankfully he stops doing this about halfway through.
* RetroactiveRecognition: Three of the show's episodes were penned by Noburu Sugimura. Who not only would go on to be the [[Series/KamenRiderBLACK head]] [[Series/KidouKeijiJiban writer]] [[Series/KyoryuSentaiZyuranger of]] some well known tokusatsu shows by Toei but also [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil2 one of]] the most critically acclaimed video games ever made.
* TheWoobie: All three of our protagonists get major woobie points:
** Yousuke lost his sister and father to the same people who later destroyed his home planet. Then his mother nominated him and Diana to survive above everyone else.
** Diana went through the same experience as Spielban, but was much younger.
** Helen has been a captive since childhood and constantly lives in fear [[JekyllAndHyde of turning into her evil alter-ego Hellvira]] at any time.
** JerkassWoobie: Dr. Bio, serves the Waller, but he's only with them because he was abducted by the Waller for his genius and forced into serving them through having his memories of his son wiped from his memory.
