GoLion: Difference between revisions

Line 34:

* [[Combining Mecha]]

* [[Darker and Edgier]]: It never quite matches the works of [[Go Nagai]] or [[Yoshiyuki Tomino]], but it's still a fair bit more brutal than most kid-friendly [[Super Robot]] shows of its day and downright shocking to anybody who's more familiar with ''Voltron''. It's particularly notable the way the director seems to take perverse delight in causing secondary or unnamed characters to drop like flies, most notably the entire population of Earth in the first episode.

* [[Dropped a Bridge On Him]]: Takashi.

* [[Dropped a Bridge on Him]]: Takashi.

* [[The Empire]]

* [[Ermine Cape Effect]]: Even when not fancied up, even in uniform, Fala still wears her [[Requisite Royal Regalia|tiara]].

* [[Everything's Better ~~With~~ Princesses]]: Fala, and her cousin Amue.

* [[Everything's Better with Princesses]]: Fala, and her cousin Amue.

* [[Everything's Better ~~With~~ Sparkles]]: Fala does sparkle sometimes.

* [[Eye Beams]]: GoLion's Eye Flash.

* [[Fairytale Wedding Dress]]: A dress made for Fala to wear on her possible future wedding.

Line 56:

* [[Hair of Gold]]: Princess Fala.

* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|Ryou, who stabs Prince Sincline in the heart before tackling him off the top of his exploding fortress.}}

* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Hiroshi Suzuishi and Honerva are both [[Galaxy Express 999|Tetsuro Hoshino]]. Five years later, the [[Masako Nozawa|seiyuu in question]] would star in the role [[~~Dragonball~~|she is best known for]]...

** [[Playing Against Type]]: Shirogane is voiced by [[Ryusei Nakao]], though this is before he's landed the role of [[~~Dragonball~~|Frieza]] thereby beginning his awesome [[Pigeonholed Voice Actor|pigeonholing of sadistic screechy villains]].

* [[High-Pressure Blood]]: The episode with the Red Beret fighters from Galra/Doom. While [[Go Lion]] in general has a harder edge than [[Voltron]], this episode rivals even the infamous first ten minutes of [[Elfen Lied]]. This is one instance where the edits made perfect sense for a syndie kids cartoon.

* [[Homage]]: It could be unintentional, but Fala's grand dress [http://www.sfstlskyway.com/allurawall.jpg bears a resemblance] to [[Sleeping Beauty (Disney)|Princess Aurora]]'s.

** Right after the title card in the first episode, a Galran ship flies past the screen in a way reminiscent of the Star Destroyer at the beginning of [[A New Hope]].

Line 77:

* [[Oedipus Complex]]: The {{spoiler|half-Galran, half-Altean}} Sincline has a lot of daddy and mommy issues, especially with Fala resembling his long dead mother.

* [[Only Known By Their Nickname]]: The original five Golion pilots usually called each other by nickname: "[[The Hero|Chief]]", "[[Sacrificial Lamb|Quiet]]", "[[The Lancer|Moody]]", "[[The Big Guy|Hothead]]", and "[[The Smart Guy|Shorty]]". They were otherwise only known by their last names. (The "[[The Chick|Princess]]" manages to fit into the scheme later.)

Line 92:

** Sincline is an example, though in most cases it would have been better for Daibazaal and Galra if he was a Royal Who Did Not Do Anything.

* [[Spanner in ~~The~~ Works]]: Honerva's plan to take down Altea by {{spoiler|killing Shirogane}} falls victim to two spanners- one was Kurogane in Red Lion coming up with the idea {{spoiler|to push the Deathblack Beastman Galcia into some magma}}, and when Galra attacks again before Altea could train a replacement, {{spoiler|Fala takes Blue Lion}}.
