Line 89:
* [[Ms. Fanservice]] (Adette.)
* [[My God, What Have I Done?]] (Cynthia's freakout when she finds out that [[This Is Reality]] and that smacking around King Gainer causes Gainer himself to actually get hurt.)
* [[Oh God, Did She Just Hear That?|Oh God, Did He Just Hear That?]] (Kashmir's Overman Planeta's Overskill. Gainer makes it backfire by simply ''telling'' him about what's on his mind most of all... [[Love Interest|Sara]].) [[Hilarity Ensues|The entire Exodus just so happens to hear it.]]
:This gets played for greater laughs in ''[[Super Robot Wars Z]]'', where Gainer is joined by {{spoiler|[[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny|Shinn Asuka]] (declaring his desire to protect peace and NOT his love of Lunamaria, [[Epic Fail|to the latter's disappointment]]), [[After War Gundam X|Garrod Ran]] (declaring his love for Tiffa), [[Orguss|Kei Katsuragi]] ([[Loveable Sex Maniac|declaring his love for ALL the female characters up to that point]]), [[Xabungle|Jiron Amos]] (declaring his love for...[[Completely Missing the Point|his favorite food, lizard stew]]), and the chosen protagonist (either Rand or Setsuko).}} And it works!
* [["On the Next Episode of..." Catchphrase]]: "Overheat!" {{spoiler|Doubles as [[Foreshadowing]].}}
* [[Platonic Life Partners]]: Gainer and Cynthia. In the manga, Gainer and Sara are this as well. For now.
* [[The Power of Love]] ( {{spoiler|How Adette breaks Gauli free from his [[Brainwashed and Crazy|brainwashing]]}} though this also then skirts into the {{spoiler|[[Strangled by the Red String]]}} trope. Later cruelly subverted {{spoiler|when Sara does ''the exact same thing'' with Gainer and fails to snap him out of Overfreeze. [[Rule of Drama|Illustrating how their relationship had been damaged towards the end of the series]].}} [[Your Mileage May Vary]] applies.
** It's not really the 'power of love' in{{spoiler|Adette and Gauli's}} case, such as 'the power of a really hot chick kissing and coming on to you'. The power of lust, lets's call it. She seems to switch her somewhat shallow and obsessive crushes like a teenage girl...
* [[Punch Clock Villain]] (Many of the Siberian Railroad goons are just doing it for the paychecks; in particular Kajenin and Enge, who are obsessed with their rank and quest for a higher salary)
