History Anime / Shinzo

* LightIsNotGood: Queen Rusephine has a very angelic look about her, being a winged humanoid, conventionally attractive, and wearing a light-colored uniform. She's one of the {{Evil Overlord}}s who wiped out humanity, and is introduced destroying the city that the heroes had just saved out of spite for losing her [[TheDragon Dragon]].

* MacGuffinLocation: Yakumo is trying to reach the eponymous Shinzo, the last human city several centuries in the future. In the original Japanese version it's called "Mushrambo", after the main character's [[FusionDance fusion form]]. However, it's more about what happens along the way than actually reaching it, as when they do we find out that [[spoiler: in season one, the original Mushrambo destroyed it. After he is defeated prior to this and time is altered, in the new world where humans and Enterrans live in peace there is no need for a human refuge, and the city is empty ruins. In both timelines, the ''journey'' to Shinzo is important, but what they expect to find there and use to solve all their problems doesn't exist.]]

* BrokenAesop: They're trying to say that racism and such is bad and forgiveness is good, yet Enterrans outside of the three heroes are at the best depicted as greedy, sneaky and deceiving, and with one mild exception all of the villains are pure, sadistic evil. If Yakumo forgives someone, they will endanger her life shortly after. The real message becomes : forgiveness is stupid and you can totally judge people on their appearance.

In the 22nd century, humankind was wiped from the face of the Earth by their own genetically engineered creatures called Enterrans (Matrixer in the original Japanese) . As man’s defeat approached, one scientist, Dr. Tatsuro (Dr. Shindo in the original Japanese), placed his daughter, [[MysteriousWaif Yakumo]], into suspended animation with hopes that when she awoke, she could reach Shinzo/Center, where the last humans are supposed to be.

* AlwaysChaoticEvil: The enterrans or kadrians that don’t look human or huggable. If an enemy does look human, they will undergo a transformation that makes sure you know they're evil. Unless they're female, in which case they'll only die in a degrading way.

* DubNameChange: Saban surprisngly left most of the characters names intact. However, Yakumo has her last name changed from "Shindo" to "Tatsuro" and Sanju's name was changed to "Este" in the dub.
** In regards to the terminology, "Matrixer" was changed to Enterran and "Center" is changed to "Shinzo".
