* [[All There in the Manual]]: How did {{spoiler|Kaidou}} make it to Earth in the first place? How did the GGG members first meet? What happened between the first series and FINAL? A ton of stuff that isn't quite explained in the series is fleshed out in the various sourcebooks, mangas, and CD Dramas which came out in Japan. Naturally, none of it is available in English.

** Before ''either'' of those, the [[Big Entrance]] of {{spoiler|[[Heel Face Turn|Soldat-J]]}} and his massive warship. They utterly ''dominate'' the first three Primevals (who had just {{spoiler|1=delivered a [[Curb Stomp Battle]] and [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]] on GaoGaiGar}}) and purifies two of them.

* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: The way FINAL ends certainly qualifies. Despite having defeated the 11 Soul Masters and destroyed the Pas-Q Machine, thus saving our universe, the heroes are trapped where the Repli-Trinary Solar System was, and they can only send Mamoru and Arma back to Earth to reunite with their families and friends. And even if GGG were to find a way back to our solar system, they have already been banished from it by the UN. In other words, no matter what happens next, the heroes have lost.

*** Also, considering that the Goldion Crusher was designed to be used with Ul-Tech Power, and instead got fed with Genesic Aura, it's area of destruction probably increased quite a bit.

* [[Dynamic Entry]]: Two epic examples occur practically back-to-back in episodes 39/40. First, Soldato-J inadvertently saves Guy by ''riding a missile through a wall'' to fight the Arm and Eye Primevals. In the opening sequence of the very next episode, ''Mamoru'' bursts through the floor of the Main Order Room riding Galeon to rescue Mikoto and the GGG bridge crew from the Nail and Ear Primevals.

* [[Gone Horribly Wrong]]: Zonder Metal was invented as a method to control negative emotions. After an accident, it became a device that fed off of negative emotions, turning the victim into a bio-technological lifeform in the shape of the source of their distress, or whatever vehicle/device they integrated into their form.

** To clarify, the victims seem to all be under considerable stress at the time that they're Zonderfied, and noticeably stress-free after getting Purified. (In one case, a grossly overweight man gets slimmed down in the process - none of the other victims had a stress source that was both internal and physical.)

* [[Took a Level In Badass|Took About 50 Levels In Badass]]: ''Mamoru'' of all people. At the start of the series this '''''grade-school kid''''' only has the power to purify Zonder Cores. By the end, he's not only strong enough to purify Primeval Cores as well, but take on Primevals ''directly'', and was putting up a good fight against Zonuda with Galeon's help. And then, of course, he tops it all off in ''FINAL'' by taking on {{spoiler|Pe la Cain}} and handing him his ass on a platter. {{spoiler|Considering the [[Pas Q]]-Machine's replicants are of equal strength, I guess the fact that he's capable of piloting the titular mecha counts too. Too bad his replicant was turned evil and thus had to be squashed by Guy. Oh well!}}

* [[Trailers Always Spoil]]: Mic's gear gets shown off during one of the [[Eyecatch|eyecatches]], and his hoverboard is labeled the "Gusty Galaxy Guard" version... in episode 30, two episodes before the Galaxy Guard are introduced and even before the [[Wham! Episode]] that could make you think the Geoid Guard gets completely annihilated. Interestingly, this was printed ''in English'' originally, so it's a little hard to know just how many people picked up on the spoiler in the original broadcast.
