* [[Face Death |
* [[Face Death with Dignity]] -- The final boss shouts, "I do not fear death!" {{spoiler|In the first loop, anyway, and that's probably a reference to his wired-in immortality. When felled in the second loop, he just screams in horror and pain as Volvox blows up around him.}} |

* [[Government Conspiracy]] -- The plot of the game. |

* [[Immortality]] -- The technology exists, but it's so difficult to implement that only the wealthiest denizens of the Parts Kingdom can even ''consider'' partaking of it. Only the five leaders of Motorouin are known to have done this, and it looks like their immortality [[A God Am I|has made them decide that they're the only ones fit to determine how the people shall live]]. |

* [[Our Presidents Are Different]] -- The president is a lion. {{spoiler|Actually, he has a lion's ''mask'', to conceal his actual wired-up face, which you'll see on the second loop. Drill must have had problems getting the immortality tech to properly take.}} |

* [[Screwed |
* [[Screwed by the Network]] -- The rights to this game and all related assets are owned by [[Capcom]]. This means that [[CAVE]] cannot make any updates, re-releases, ports, or otherwise. |

* [[Theme Naming]] -- All of the player characters are named after components that are used to hold things together: Ring, Bolt, Chain, Nail, and Rivet. The bosses are named after tools. This also extends to the organization the bosses comprise, Motorouin. "Motor", but it's also Japanese for "senate". And then there's the name of the game--"gear", but with the "pro" at the beginning it sounds a lot like "progeria", a medical condition in which the victim ages particularly quickly. This is probably meant to evoke the game's theme of youths being forced to adopt mental maturity ''much'' earlier than usual. |
