* MoodWhiplash: The two episodes with PunchClockVillain Lt. Chekov. Also the end of episode 13.
** Probably the biggest one is Episode 28. Up till then, the Dragonar team had met challenges they couldn't beat, but time, luck, or skill has gotten them out. This time? They're up against the Stark Squad, who utterly DECIMATE them. With their commander knocked out, and both Rose and Linda in the hands of Jin (who [[RapeAsDrama is rather clear with his intentions]], the episode ends with the machines totaled, in a ditch, while the town around them is being burned down. Dark. There's a reason the Stark Squad are [[ThatOneBoss noted for their difficulty in Super Robot Wars]].
* RapeAsDrama: Jin had been repeatedly trying to strip Linda, fortunately he never suceeds.

to:

* MechaExpansionPack: The Lifter system for all three Dragonars grants them much faster flight and a set of missile launchers. The MAFFU system for some of the Giganos Metal Armors (but especially ones piloted by Gon Jem's squadron and eventually Meio's Falguen itself) also counts.

** AcePilot Meio Plato is obviously based on [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Char Aznable]], to the point of having a pretty similar RedBaron nickname. However, personality- and visual-wise, he actually resembles [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0083StardustMemory Anavel Gato]] the most.
*** Technically, Dragonar predates 0083, so Gato's the Expy.
