YMMV / B't X

• Anti-Climax Boss: Teppei faces two of these. One because his opponent wasn't an actual Machine Empire soldier and was using a jerry-rigged machine. Later on, due to a dying X activating its Super Mode previously, Teppei beats the 6th Point soldier without noticing him.
• Anvilicious: War is Bad, very bad. Specifically, wars that take civilian lives. Foh and Ron both mention they lost their parents when their homes were bombed. Flashbacks show us that the same happened to Hokuto, and Foh also states that all the kids in the church are war orphans.
• Germans Love David Hasselhoff:
  • Despite their anime being forced cut from domestic society, B't X successfully stirred up a mass cult following literally everywhere else around the globe, particularly among their East Asian neighbors, South Asia, Italy, Spain, and Latin America.
  • Due to the domino effect of Screwed by the Network, the toys, and action figures Takara originally planned to sell domestically ended up sold exclusively outside of Japan to the international fanbase, resulting to these versions of memorabilia becoming Limited Special Collector's Ultimate Editions to domestic Japanese fans. ^note The only merchandise Japan ever produced of B't X for their local market during it's run were their soundtracks and character songs. As of 2015, they only added one pachinko arcade...and a DVD BOX that's impossible to own.
  • The popularity of B't X not only opened the doors of reintroducing their brother series Saint Seiya to a new generation of fans in Asia, but also pushed Saint Seiya into global popularity as well.
  • B't X is one of the best remembered and loved animes in Argentina, after Dragon Ball and Saint Seiya. This probably has a lot to do with the fact that very little anime is ever exported there.
• Too Good to Last: Being one of Kurumada’s few manga works to have a solid ending. Japanese readers appraised B't X as “The Best Work of Kurumada (of his entire career),” and “The work that for sure surpassed the Saint Seiya series.” The ill timing in producing the anime before the manga entered their story climax, along with the anime being Screwed by the Network, which led to their animation budget being pulled out early in production, and not getting any reprints in DVD has gravely plundered their local market, failing to give the work a chance to build up a broader domestic fanbase; sealing the work under a thick glass ceiling.
