- Crowning Music of Awesome: The entire soundtrack, composed by Ichiko Hashimoto. Yoko Kanno did the opening theme [1]. Here it is without the Crowning Moment of Awesome action drowning it out.
- Common Knowledge: RahXephon is a Evangelion clone. No, it is not. Yutaka Izubuchi himself confirmed the prime influence was Brave Raideen, not Evangelion. In fact, the reason both shows appear so similar at first glance is precisely because both drew inspiration from Raideen.
- Genius Bonus: Things make more sense with knowledge of Mayan mythology and concepts.
- High Octane Nightmare Fuel: Asahina's death. Dear GOD. Kamina, piloting RahXephon, brutally beat her Dolem, crushing its arm and eventually punching a hole through it. The terrifying part? Everything the he did to the Dolem was done to her as well.
- It gets worse: throughout the ordeal, she's desperately trying to send messages to him explaining what's happening, but he's so single-mindedly fixated on destroying the Dolem that he fails to notice, all the time believing that he's protecting her.
- Fandom Rivalry: With the Evangelion fandom, because of the "clone" allegations mentioned above. At the very center of the allegations was the website EvaXephon, run by notorious /a/ and /m/ lolcow YandereDev.
- Hilarious in Hindsight: Ayato's claim in the first episode that he's "not interested in older women" is much more amusing on the second viewing.
- There's much, much more, actually. This anime thrives on making small conversations much more interesting with a second viewing. For example, when Ayato first visits Itsuki's place, Itsuki mentions that he should be like visiting a relatives house. Ayato replies that he's never done that. The Irony in this is that unknown to Ayato Itsuki is Ayato's clone and Quon is their biological mother.
- Moe: Haruka displays shades of this at times.
