YMMV / Matchless Raijin-Oh

• First Installment Wins: Between the fact that it has two appearances in the Super Robot Wars series (Well, technically three), a novel, and a DVD release in the U.S. over the other Eldoran series, this is a bit of the case for Raijin-Oh.
• Germans Love David Hasselhoff: In Hong Kong.
• Ho Yay: Jin, Asuka, and Kouji in any combination. Actually lampshaded in the post-finale OVA sequel when a monster makes Kouji fall in love with Jin, and Asuka fall in love with Kouji. It doesn't last very long.
  • Also Belzeb and Taida.
• LGBT Fanbase: Asuka's got both fangirls and fanboys (who are otherwise straight) in the fandom.
• Stock Footage Failure: God Raijin-Oh's standard Transformation Sequence opens with Bakuryu-Oh changing from its robot mode to dragon mode. The show doesn't always remember to cut this bit out in episodes where Bakuryu-Oh was already in dragon mode when the sequence started.
• Superlative Dubbing: Many feel this way about the dub in spite of the fact that it didn't have very many professional voice-actors.
• Toy Ship: Most prominently, Jin and Maria. The writers clearly pushed the idea by frequently putting the two together where they alternate between bickering and affection - Akin to Tsundere. In fact, the post-finale OVA sequel further confirmed that despite Jin's outwardly confrontational self with Maria, he indeed did harbor some secret affection for her. Needless to say, the same has been strongly implied on Maria's side throughout the entire series.
• Viewer Gender Confusion: Plenty of people have mistaken Asuka for a girl due to his effeminate appearance and teeny-tiny shorts. His name doesn't help, as it's the name of a female pilot in another, more well-known series...
  • It doesn't help that his voices in both Japanese and English are pretty androgynous.
