1* TheDanza:
2** Creator/AkiraKamiya, who voices Akira Hibiki.
3** His father, Ichiro Hibiki, is voiced by Ichiro Murakoshi.
4* FollowTheLeader: The series was born when Banjiro Uemura, founder of Tohokushinsha Film, noted the success of Toei's ''Anime/MazingerZ'' and wanted to replicate it. It can be noted in the series' plot and aesthetic.
5* MarthDebutedInSmashBros: One of the strangest examples of the trope in the history of the medium. Needless to say, it's pretty clear that the guys at Creator/MarvelComics never actually watched this show.
6* TheOtherDarrin: Makoto Kousaka voices Mari in episodes 1-30 [[note]] and is her most well known voice and [[https://www.tiktok.com/@makochanvoice/video/6923112163867512065 often does her voice]] when demonstrating her roles on her social media accounts [[/note]] and has reprised Mari whenever ''Raideen'' shows up in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' starting with ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha Alpha]]''; however from episode 31 until the end of the show, Mari was voiced by Kiyoko Shibata.
7** Rei Asuka was voiced Kotoe Tachi [[note]] who coincidentally was the 3rd and final voice actress for Sayaka Yumi in the above-mentioned ''Anime/MazingerZ'' [[/note]] in the show, however in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'', she's voiced by Creator/AkemiOkamura.
8** General Agyaru was voiced by Taro Sagami II in the series, but is voiced by Michihiro Ikemizu in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsDD'' since Sagami had passed away in 1981.
9* WhatCouldHaveBeen: [[spoiler: Rei Asuka was written as Princess Lemuria's older sister, hence her psychic powers and ability to speak to Raideen. Her young appearance was a result of being in cryo-sleep for so long. This was abandoned and she became an ordinary human with unexplained supernatural abilities]]
