''Dancouga Nova'' is a [[Super Robot]] show that started airing on February 15, 2007. Masami Obari designed and directed the series. This is the [[In Name Only|supposed sequel]] to ''Super Beast Machine God [[Dancouga]]'', though it is more a [[Spiritual Successor]] to [[Gravion]].
Line 8:
The story takes place in 2014, when wars spring up all over the world and Japan has been devastated by a massive earthquake. Where ever the fighting turns to favor one of the sides, a mysterious force appears to even the odds, but never finishes off the side that once was winning. It leaves once the balance of power is restored. This is ''Dancougar Nova''.

* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]] - {{spoiler|Original Dancouga and Moon Will}}. Bonus points in that {{spoiler|Aoi actually punches the latter}}.
* [[Eagle Land]] - The [[The Neidermeyer|Neidermeyer]] captain of Episode 4 is an obvious example of type 2.
* {{spoiler|[[Everybody Lives]]}} - Though {{spoiler|Aoi had a very close brush with death}}.
* [[Expy]] : Seimi, imagine [[Super Robot Wars|Excellen Browning]] as a mechanic and the result isnt far from her.
** {{spoiler|Well mostly everybody. We never do find out what happened to Fog Sweeper and Earth Will and we did get a brief shot of Dragon's Hive getting shot down.}}
* [[Four -Temperament Ensemble]] - the pilots: model & racer Aoi, young cop Kurara, [[Badass Bookworm]] salaryman Johnny, and [[Hot -Blooded]] homeless bum Sakuya. {{spoiler|It becomes a [[Five -Man Band]] after the inclusion of Eida in R-Daigun.}}
** [[The Hero]]: Aoi in Nova Eagle
** [[The Lancer]]: Kurara in Nova Liger
Line 36 ⟶ 35:
** {{spoiler|1=[[The Chick]]/[[Sixth Ranger]]: Eida in R-Daigun}}
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|Fog Sweeper}} and {{spoiler|Earth Will}} in Dragon's Hive in the final episode. Maybe. Unlike everyone else, these two don't show up again so it's highly suggested that they had been [[Killed Off for Real]].
* [[Hey, ItsIt's That Voice!|Hey, It's That Voice]]: Imagine [[Clannad (Visualvisual Novelnovel)||Tomoyo]] [[Houko Kuwashima|Sakagami]] as a [[Badass Adorable]] [[Supercop]].
** For the rest of the team, imagine {{{[[Visual Novel]]/{Clannad}} Tomoyo}} working with [[King of Fighters|Athena Asamiya]], [[Black Butler|Viscount Druitt]] and [[Super Robot Wars Alpha|Cobray Gordon]], who are later joined by {{spoiler|[[Haruhi Suzumiya (Light Novel)|Mikuru]]}}. And being led by [[Eureka Seven|Holland Novak]] and {{spoiler|[[Dancougar|Shinobu Fujiwara]]}}.
** Both Earth Will and Moon Will are voiced by [[Norio Wakamoto]].
* [[Homeless Hero]] - Sakuya
* [[Hot -Blooded]] - Pretty much everyone who pilots Dancouga.
* [[Idol Singer]] - Johnny has a crush on one - and gets to meet her in person. It's [[Love At First Sight]].
* [[Improbable Age]]: Kurara. See [[Supercop]] below for more info.
* [[In Name Only]]
* [[Innocent Innuendo]] - In the episode where Sakuya finally gets a...
** [[Rocket Punch]] - called Boost Nova Knuckle.
* [[Omniscient Morality License]] - The four pilots often feel like they are being manipulated in this way.
* [[The Rival]] - R-Daigun to Dancouga Nova, a red Beast Machine, which is piloted by {{spoiler|Idol Singer Eida (see above entry)}}
* [[Salaryman]] - Johnny starts of as one {{spoiler|who later quits his job}} while Sakuya used to be one, or so it seems.
* [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"]] People call the Dancougas Dancougars even though Shinobu makes it clear in 80s Dancouga that the name is Dancouga with the code input D A N C O U G A, Dancouga Nova doesn't even have a English version and yet people call it a Dancougar too.
* [[Shout -Out]] : Lulli Luli ? [[Catch Phrase|Baka baka ?]] sounds like [[Martian Successor Nadesico|Ruri Hoshino]].
** D for Dangerous is a notable line from ''[[Tekkaman Blade (Anime)|Tekkaman Blade]]''.
* [[Shut UP, Hannibal]] - Aoi won't listen to bullshit about how [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters]].
** Earlier still, Kurara rejects the [[Eagle Land]] representative's belief that [[Might Makes Right]].
* [[Spiritual Successor]] - To [[Gravion]]
* [[Supercop]] - Kurara. 15 years old, cleaned up the corrupt narcotics division of the police department single-handedly. Her [[Improbable Aiming Skills]] probably helped a lot.
* [[Super Mode]]
* [[Super Robot Wars]] (Made its debut in [[Super Robot Wars L (Video Game)|Super Robot Wars L]] and met [[Voltes V]] and [[Combattler V]] like its predecessor did.)
** Speaking of predecessors, it has also appeared in [[Super Robot Wars Z 2]] alongside the original ''Dancouga'' and ''Gravion.''
* [[Take That]]: Ameria had invaded the Middle East using a war on terrorism as a cover and caused terrorism to spread throughout the world.
* [[Talking to Himself]]: [[Norio Wakamoto]] voices both [[Big Good|Earth Will]] and [[Big Bad|Moon Will]], which ultimately leads to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtiIWxPasDI this incomparable showdown.]
* [[Transforming Mecha]]
* [[Theme Music Power -Up]]: Lampshaded. Dancouga Nova plays it's own theme song over external speakers.
* [[True Companions]] - Aoi, Sakuya, Kurara and Johnny start out as complete strangers and end up like this.
* [[Twelve -Episode Anime]]
* [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future]]
* [[What Could Have Been]]: [[Word of God]] states that the series was originally meant to have a much deeper connection with the original [[Dancouga]], the most notable of which being Aoi being a descendant of Sara.
