1* AssPull: [[spoiler:Dr. Noroi]] is the true BigBad. A character introduced in the final moments of the final episode with no foreshadowing, who's stated to be the manipulator behind it all, and to have been a key enemy to Keisuke's father, inspite of never have being mentioned.
2* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Totsugeki Kamen Rider X plays during the Apollo Geist vs. X fight.
3* EnsembleDarkhorse: Apollo Geist was this, to the point that they chose to bring him BackFromTheDead in lieu of creating a new character. He later became the DragonInChief in Series/KamenRiderDecade.
4* HeartwarmingInHindsight: The RomanceOnTheSet between Ryo Hayami and Naoko Miyama which blossomed into a marriage with two children, especially considering [[spoiler:the tragic fates of Keisuke's fiance Ryoko and her twin sister Kiriko]]. There's also the likelihood that this all may well have never happened had Hayami been successful in securing the lead role of ''Series/TetsujinTigerSeven'' earlier.
5* MemeticMutation: [[Memes/KamenRider See this page for examples]].
6* {{Narm}}: Starfish Hitler has to be seen to be believed.
7* OneSceneWonder: Starfish Hitler only appeared in one episode as a MonsterOfTheWeek, but he is one of the best-remembered things from this show and is often cited as a shining example of how weird Showa-era ''Kamen Rider'' can get.
8* {{Squick}}/NightmareFuel: In the manga, a female friend of Jin's gets squished by a boulder thrown by a GOD kaijin in EXTREMELY gory fashion.
9* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: After his father is killed, he uploads his brain onto a computer, and becomes a new base for Keisuke. By episode 2, the computer realizes he's holding Keisuke back too much and blows himself up, never to be mentioned again.
10* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The series actually started out with a fairly compelling mystery surrounding Keisuke, his father, Ryoko and Kiriko. It's all rushed and concluded by episode 8, with [[spoiler:Ryoko's betrayal and subsequent reveal as TheMole]] having no bearing on the remainder of the series. The three are barely mentioned afterwards.
