* Bandora herself and her witchy design is reminiscent of the WickedWitch of the West from ''Literature/TheWonderfulWizardOfOz''[[note]](or the book version of ''The Wizard or Oz'')[[/note]].

* ''Anime/{{Dancougar}}'': Even more so than ''[=GoLion=]'', the line-up of the 1985 show's mech beasts match those of Daizyujin's beasts even better[[note]]like the Big Moth (as in Mammoth) matching the Mammoth Beast, the Eagle Fighter matchig the Pteranodon Beast, and the Land Cougar/Land Liger matching the Sabertoothed Tiger Beast[[/note]].

* ''[[https://tokutoystore.com/2020/05/17/toei-tokusatsu-world-reviews-5-nen-3-kumi-mahougumi/ Bellbara the Witch]]'': In turn, the Bandora role is an ActorAllusion to [[Creator/MachikoSoga Machiko Soga's]] previous work in ''5-nen 3-kumi Mahō-gumi'' (also known as ''Bellbara the Witch'') from 1971, where she was a good witch instead of a wicked witch.

** Dragon Caesar does not only look like Godzilla, but its very name is a reference to the [[Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters1956 King of Monsters]]. Dragon Caesar also has finger missiles much like the 1970s incarnation of Mechagodzilla.

* ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'':
** Bandora also particularly references the classic film with her ability to fly in the air while riding a bicycle[[note]](like how Miss Gulch rode a bicycle in the tornado during Dorothy Gale's dream sequence)[[/note]].

* ''Anime/VoltesV'': The Gou Brothers' [[LongLostRelative familial relationship]] with Prince Heinel, their Boazanian half-brother, is reminiscent of Burai being the [[LukeIAmYourFather older brother]] of Geki the [=TyrannoRanger=].

* ''Anime/VoltesV'': The Gou Brothers' [[LongLostRelative familial relationship]] with Prince Heinel, their Boazanian half-brother, is reminiscent of Burai having a [[LukeIAmYourFather close connection]] with Geki the [=TyrannoRanger=].

* ''Film/{{Rodan}}'': Meanwhile, the Pteranodon Beast emerging from an active volcano is also reminiscent of Rodan (from 1956).
* ''Series/GiantRobo'': Another one that Dragon Caesar is associated with, the iconic shot of it loading missiles to fire from its fingertips, is actually referencing another Creator/{{Toei|Company}} {{Tokusatsu}}, ''Giant Robo'' from the 1960s.

** Burai's role as a [[KnightOfCerebus lone-wolf antagonist]] with an agenda separate from the main antagonists is also reminiscent of ''Dynaman's'' Dark Knight, ''Bioman's'' Bio Hunter Silva, ''Maskman's'' Thief Knight Kiros, ''Turboranger's'' Yamimaru, ''Fiveman's'' Chevalier, and ''Jetman's'' Emperor Tranza.

** Grifforzer can also be considered a mix between Commander Sadak and King Daibazaal. Both Sadak and Daibazaal "became" Robeasts themselves, like how Grifforzer can turn giant.
