** The Gespenst line of mecha is known for the Gespenst Kick finisher move. If you give certain Gespensts a different pilot in the Original Generations subseries, all of the characters that can pilot a Gespenst have unique recorded lines. As the Gespenst's first outing is Hero Senki, a crossover game featuring the [[Kamen Rider]], [[Mobile Suit Gundam]], and [[Ultraman]] franchises, it can be theorized that Gilliam Yeagar, creator of the Gespenst line in the Super Robot Wars multiverse and constant [[Dimensional Traveler]], paid homage to the Rider Kick in-universe with the Gespenst Kick.

** As a [[Kamen Rider]] homage, Raioh and its upgrade Dairaioh have an upward variant in the form of the Rising Meteor and Rising Meteor Inferno finishers.
