Line 13:
* [[Demonic Dummy]] -- The boss of stage 3. "Hey! Stop trying to hide behind me!"
* [[Diesel Punk]] -- The game's setting has technology roughly equivalent to about 5 to 10 years after [[World War One]].
* [[Face Death
* [[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.}}
* [[Relationship Values]] -- Part of the game's ranking system.
* [[Screwed
* [[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!"
