History Anime / GaoGaiGar

The series has also continued to have various merchandise even decades after going off the air, with Kotobukiya designed [[Toys/FrameArmsGirls Cross Frame Girl]] gijinka of [=GaoGaiGar=] and D-Style SuperDeformed versions of the suit, [[Creator/BandaiNamcoEntertainment Bandai]] Candy Toys releasing numerous models of robots from the series starting in 2017, and the Bandai Spirits model kit division creating [=GaoGaiGar=] and [=GoldyMarg=] kits in their premier Real Grade line for the series' [[Main/MilestoneCelebration 25th anniversary]].

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The series is actually generally very good about this, but there are a few examples.
** First, Rune/Renee/Renais - more due to the difference between languages than anything. (They're all spelled exactly the same way in katakana.)
** On one occasion, the subbed version has Pasder's name translated to "Pasta". This, of course, ''is'' the joke[[note]]"Pasder" and his generals are all named after food-related topics - he's pasta, Pizza is obvious, Polonaise is [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolognese_sauce a distortion of "bolognese"]] that makes more sense in Japanese, "Primada" is a longstanding Asian cookware line, with only "Penchinon"/"Pinchernone" being unclear[[/note]] but related materials usually keep his name as "Pasder" to make the joke slightly less obvious.
** Guy/Gai can cause confusion, as detailed on his character page entry. It stems from his name being in kanji (gai) but being ''consistently'' romanized as "Guy" in official show materials...but those show materials all refer to his ''superhero'' Identity That is spelled in katakana (Guy) and not his given name, with each contextually spelled differently within the show. No translation of the series respects both, so the question becomes do you acknowledge the man, or the Hero more?
** A more minor example is [[spoiler:J - specifically, "Soldato J" or "Soldat J"? The confusion comes from both the fact that "ト" is often used as a solo T in kana transliteration in addition to being "to", meaning the name could be read either way... and the fact that either reading ''is still correct'', as "soldato" is soldier in Italian, and "soldat" is the same in both German and French. It really comes down to which language you think the staff intended to reference.]]

* DropTheHammer: [=GaoGaiGar=] uses the Goldion Hammer, which is longer than [=GaoGaiGar=] is tall and weighs a good 300 tons.

-->'''Gai:''' Hey Pizza! '''[[DropTheHammer HIKARI]] [[FinishingMove NI]] [[DisappearsIntoLight NARE!!!]]'''

* IncrediblyLamePun: Kotaro Taiga has a golf club that he calls the Taiga Wood. ''Yeah''.

* HumanAliens:
** As made clear from as early as episode 3, [[spoiler:Mamoru and Kaidoh]] are so biologically similar to humans in their regular state that, even under close scrutiny, they are indistinguishable from Earthlings. [[spoiler: Whatever generates the fairy-like wings or makes their hair react to Zonders is evidently not immediately identifiable.]] The wider series never really tries to explain ''why'' they're so massively similar to humans.

** Also in the 14.5 scenario during the video game Blockaded Numbers, Gai's outfit is that of Ichiro from [[{{Series/Kikaider}} Kikaider 01]].

* TwoKeyedLock: Used to power up the Goldion Hammer.
