* MonsterOfTheAesop: The ''akudama'' (monster seeds) were specifically activated by the word "meiwaku" (troublesome, problem) being used in a phrase, and would then take on the form/powers of whatever was being considered a problem by the speaker. So there was a traffic jam monster, a flu monster, a superhero monster (this one had some serious "what side am I on again?" issues) and so forth. In the finale, Belzeb confirmed that the [[spoiler:akudama indeed represents the evils of humanity but also admitted that humanity themselves also offer the best chance of triumphing over said evil]].

* TheLeader: This is more or less discussed in-universe. Jin is the lead pilot of Raijin-oh, but Maria is the class president and overall in charge of the deployment and operation of the mecha. Specifically invoked during an episode when Jin effectively boasts that he's the "star" of Raijin-Oh but the Earth Defense Class' girls countered that they remotely controlled the MidSeasonUpgrade Bakuryu-Oh.

* SatelliteCharacter: Falzeb, the fairy character who usually resides in Belzeb's chest. Her main role is to deliver either the Jaku power or the crystal that transforms into the Jaku Satan mecha. Outside of the brief time she was forced to stay with Jin, for the vast majority of the episodes she is usually only seen near Belzeb and any conversations she had that aren't one-sided are with him.

A little girl who kept a vegetable-eating monster briefly as a pet tried to appeal to it but failed to awaken any good in it. The closest we can come to an exception was that of the superhero monster Osekaiser, but as mentioned, the monster was only acting on its programmed instinct and generally was [[DestructiveSaviour still considered a nuisance]].
