1* ContinuityLockOut: Even worse then the mainline [=OVAs=] due to Kajishima replacing the anime with his novels, so no one in the west knew by the time the ''Paradise Begins'' OVA came out about the changes [[spoiler: or why [[Anime/DualParallelTroubleAdventure D is suddenly there with them]]]]
2* CreativeDifferences: Between the franchise creator Creator/MasakiKajishima and the series director Creator/ShinichiWatanabe. Kajishima hated the wacky harem hijinks and goofy characters introduced by Nabeshin,[[note]]Not that he is against some goofy comedy, as his other titles demonstrate, but almost turning ''GXP'' into a QuirkyWork was too much even for him[[/note]] as well as the handling of several his favorite characters. In the end, he even [[CanonDiscontinuity proclaimed the series non-canon]], and retold the story the way he liked in a series of novels.
3* FanNickname: "The Seto Scouts" -- Suiren, Karen, Gyokuren, and Hakuren, Seto's handmaidens.
4%%* {{Moe}}: Amane as a kid.
5* NightmareFuel: ([[spoiler:Upon taking control of the mech in Episode 24, Seina uses the force of his will to slowly crush a ship into a small ball, complete with a shot of the horrified crew. It's a very strange scene for such a lighthearted show.]]) Somehow made worse by the fact that the usual SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic starts playing ''as it happens''. Picture "The Rising Spirit" playing while Gaara crushes people. It's that much of a disconnect.
6* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Seiryo Tennan. In the ''Tenchi'' [=OVAs=] he's an unlikeable fop who shows up just long enough for Tenchi to win a duel with him by default thanks to Mihoshi's bad piloting. In this series he's a credible threat and a genuinely likeable character, even if he is still a badass ButtMonkey.
7* TheScrappy: NB (and some other elements of Watanabe's humor) wore out their welcome with some of the audience. Officially? Well, in the crossover episode with the ''Anime/TenchiMuyo'' cast that Masaki Kajishima directed, NB literally spent the whole time in a doghouse.
8** Kajishima [[CreativeDifferences disliked almost everything done by Nabeshin]] so much that he basically {{disowned|adaptation}} the series and [[CanonDiscontinuity made it non-canon]], writing a series of NoExportForYou novels that tell the same story his way.
