Line 20:
* [[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.
* [[This Cannot Be!]] -- "How could I have lost to a mere child!"
* [[True Final Boss]] -- President Leonard Drill's sphere thing has one last layer in the second loop.
* [[Where Are They Now? Epilogue]] -- The ending {{spoiler|ten years after the war has been lost.}}
* [[Who Wants to Live Forever?]] -- {{spoiler|On the second loop, the 4th boss screams, "I never knew that living forever would be so painful!" when you defeat her.}}
