* CommonKnowledge: Of sorts. You'd be surprised at how many people think that this show is a Tokusatsu show where the hero fights off giant monsters in a similar vein to Ultraman or the Godzilla series (which was made by Toho as well.) Not helping matters is that the anime adaptation does feature giant monsters (or giant mechas at least anyways).
* HilariousInHindsight: A superhero named "Rainbow" who has different forms called "Dashes". [[Characters/FriendshipIsMagicRainbowDash Hmmm...]]
* SpiritualAdaptation: The Franchise/MegaMan game series was, by WordOfGod, inspired by Rainbowman. A CaptainErsatz of Rainbowman was a FakeUltimateHero in the background of one of the anime as well.
