** ''Ima Ga Sono Toki Da'' was originally used as the first OP and last episode's credits song to ''Getter Robo Armaggeddon'', the first of the Jun Kawagoe era of Getter animated adaptations. Here, a new instrumental version of the song scores ''Arc'''s new animated ending, thus capping off said era.

* AscendedExtra: Getter Khan in the manga rarely saw any use in battles, even in an underwater fight which is its terrain specialty but was not used, makings its underwater capabilities an InformedAttribute. The ''Arc'' anime rectifies this by changing some of the fights where Khan is used more often, particularly the underwater fight where it replaces Arc.

** Hayato's occasionally appearing facial scars reference those from his ''Armaggeddon'' counterpart.

** Hayato's occasionally appearing facial scars reference those from his ''Armaggeddon'' counterpart. [[spoiler:In his final fight against Kamui and the Gettersaurus pilots, the facial scars appear during his fight. This references his ''Shin VS Neo'' counterpart where he mentions his scars resurface when he is excited during combat.]]
** The three buttons that Dr. Shikishima use [[spoiler:to prevent the Dinosaur Empire from entering the Saotome Institute]] are represented by an eye, ear and nose and designed to attack the respective sense of an intruder. This is a reference to Hayato's "Eyes, ears and nose" scene in his debut in the manga and ''New''.


Added DiffLines:

** [[spoiler:The Getter Robo Arc vs Bug battle loosely references ''Shin VS Neo'' where Takuma uses all three forms of Arc to fight Bug, similar to how Musashi uses all three forms on his own]].

''Arc'' was originally intended to be the GrandFinale to the ''Getter Robo'' saga. However, between the collapse of ''Super Robot Magazine'', and [[DiedDuringProduction the death of Ken Ishikawa in 2006]], the manga abruptly ground to a halt. Many thought that ''Arc'' wouldn't receive much more attention…

* OriginalGeneration: The Arc anime introduces a Getter that didn't appear in the manga continuity - [[spoiler:Shin Getter Robo Tarak, piloted by a revived Go Ichimonji.]]



* WhamEpisode: Meta example. Episode 6 of the anime delivers a Getter Middle Finger to the idea of faithfully following the manga's plot past that point with the debut of a new element: [[spoiler:Shin Getter Robo Tarak, piloted by Go Ichimonji himself.]]

…until July of 2021, when an AnimatedAdaptation by Bee Media and Studio A-Cat was released. The ''Arc'' anime is notable in that compared to other ''Getter Robo'' adaptations, it's very faithful to the manga, both in plot and in visuals. However, this didn't stop it from having a little bit of AdaptationExpansion, as well as an all-new ending.

** [[spoiler:In the Manga, the evolved Dragon appears as a mostly amorphous silhouette with the three heads of the Getter Robo G machines. In the anime, its form is that of the ''Saint Dragon'' from the ''Shin'' manga, which was originally conceived by Ken Ishikawa as a possible design for the ''Shin Dragon'' from the ''Armaggeddon'' OVA prior to its manga inclusion, and later used as a basis for the ''Kyodai Dragon'' from ''New Getter Robo''.]]

* AdaptationExpansion: As mentioned in the description above, the anime adaptation - both in its efforts to pay tribute to Ken Ishikawa and in its necessity to introduce key plot points from the ''Getter Robo Go'' and ''Shin'' manga. The last episode stands out in particular, expanding on what happened between the manga's original stop point and the extra cliffhanger it received in the ''Getter Robo Saga'' compilation.
