Line 13:
* [[Harsher in Hindsight]]: In episode 17, Holzon V3 unleashed a chain of strong earthquakes left in ruins several Japanese cities and killed a lot of people. Forty years later, after a chain of earthquakes and tsunamis turned several Japanese cities in rubble, that episode looks even more tragic.
** And Dr. Kabuto's manor, where he built Mazinger-Z, was located on the Forest of Aokigahara. Why is that relevant? [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aokigahara Read and get creeped out]. At least it seems clear why Juuzo chose that place: nobody would try to bother him or spy on him.
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: Seeing [[Beam Me Up, Scotty]].
* [[OT 3]]: There are not many fans who do this, but some of them consider Kouji/Sayaka/Maria is a solution to the most important [[Love Triangle]] in the trilogy (nobody seems considering Kouji/Sayaka/Boss or Tetsuya/Jun/Boss, nevertheless. [[Butt Monkey|Poor Boss]]).
** It is lampshaded in this Super Robot Wars [[Yonkoma]] comic: [http://www.dra-mata.com/manga/4koma/old/tsurugi07.jpg\]
* [[Values Dissonance]]: The reason why Kouji's [[Stay in The Kitchen|blatant sexism towards Sayaka]] (and the main reason why she was so [[Tsundere]] for him) had to be toned down as the Mazinsaga continued. It'd be [[Dude, Not Funny|very NOT funny]] to have him say "girls must not fight and you are stupid for thinking otherwise" in [[Mazinkaiser (Anime)|Mazinkaiser]], after all.
** In fact, that characterization was more in line with his personality in the original manga.
* [[What Do You Mean ItsIt's for Kids?]]: Right like many [[Go Nagai]] works, Mazinger Z was aimed to children and young teens in Japan, but it was judged to be too violent to be seen by children in other countries like Spain and Philippines.
