Line 53:
* [[Nuclear Weapons Taboo]]: The first Heterodyne was destroyed by an "O.E. Weapon", which stands for "Over Explosion". (It's never actually confirmed to be nuclear in nature - and appears to be some other type of explosive - but its use will leave an area uninhabitable for a period of time in addition to the massive collateral damage.)
* [[Only Sane Man]]: In one of the early introduction episodes, Aoyama remarks on Akagi and Ibuki's unstable nature and heroic tendencies and declares, "I am the only sane person on this robot, and there's nothing I can do about it, except hang on and enjoy the ride."
** The pilots of Dai-Guard and most of the more ethically inclined members of the 21st Century corporation {{spoiler|as well as Shirota, after a little character development}} wind up being this compared to the trigger happy military types and the more corrupt executives, {{spoiler| with the latter eventually seeing the error of their ways after a colossal amount of screwups force them to realize how inept they were, and the latter eventually get fired after their own greed and stupidity catches up with them}}
* [[Our Monsters Are Weird]]: The Heterodynes. No two are quite alike in design, shape and abilities, but are all based on the same basic composition which is equal parts fungus and octagon-shaped crystal (the "Fractal Knot"). They then form a body out of surrounding matter, making no two quite alike. They can move freely (some even fly), are ''usually'' attracted to EM waves and often have odd powers to defend themselves. That's about ALL they have in common.
** They are considered straight-up monsters by the general population, but specialists consider them tantamount to natural disasters, as they don't have a particular purpose or capacity for thought.
