* HighPressureBlood: The episode with the Red Beret fighters from Galra/Doom. While GoLion in general has a harder edge than {{Voltron}}, this episode rivals even the infamous first ten minutes of ElfenLied. This is one instance where the edits made perfect sense for a syndie kids cartoon.

百獣王ゴライオン (''hyakujuu ou go raion'')[[note]]King of One Hundred Beasts Go Lion[[/note]] is a CombiningMecha from {{Toei}} that aired in 1981. Since shows like this were a dime a dozen in Japan, it unfortunately got overlooked. But [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff elsewhere, including America]], where HumongousMecha shows were still practically unheard of, it got recognition as the lion robot of ''{{Voltron}}''.
