* [[Adaptation Displacement]]: Subversion. A common misconception about the ''Strider Hiryu'' manga was that it was an original creation by Moto Kikaku that Capcom decided to adapt into a game. In truth, the ''Strider Hiryu'' franchise was produced as a three-way collaboration between Moto Kikaku and Capcom. Moto Kikaku artist Tatsumi Wada worked on the manga version, while Capcom worked on two separate games made by different teams: an arcade version and an NES version. The manga and NES game follow the same general storyline, while the arcade version deviates completely from the story outside of a common setting in the form of Kazakh.
* [[Alternative Character Interpretation]]: It's common to see fanwork where Hien is a Keet to contrast [[The Stoic]] Hiryu.
* [[Anticlimax Boss|Anti-Climax Boss]]: Matic in the NES game. Matic will only parry your slashes, knocking your cypher away to render you defenseless. If you use the Plasma attack, he'll patiently await his chance to parry, only for his own weapon to be deflected for easy pickings.
* [[Awesome Music (Sugar Wiki)|Awesome Music]]: In particular, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SL8Q4d-HzY the BGM for Stage 1 of the original game] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85KPBONLHFo gets one hell of a remix] come ''Namco x Capcom''.

* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: For the [[Capcom vs. Whatever]] games, thanks to his appearances in the first two ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom]]'' games. To date, Hiryu outranks many of the choices on polls for characters fans want to see in ''Marvel vs. Capcom 3'', despite many of those selections being more mainstream/popular. He's just ''that'' loved. And when Strider was [http://twitter.com/Ryota_Niitsuma/status/28517821235# officially deconfirmed] for ''MvC3'', [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks|you can just]] [[Internet Backdraft|imagine the response.]]
** Of course, [[And the Fandom Rejoiced|you can only imagine how fans reacted]] when Hiryu was confirmed for '''''[[Updated Rerelease|Ultimate]]''' Marvel vs. Capcom 3''.
* [[I Am Not Shazam]]: His name is Hiryu, not "Strider". "Strider" is simply the name of his profession. Even with the existence of other Striders, like Kain and Sheena in the NES game, and Hien in ''Strider 2'', people still make this mistake. The Japanese version avoids this by using the name ''Strider Hiryu'' instead.
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: Hiryu will "never leave Eurasia alive!"
** The Russian senate turning into a giant hammer-and-sickle-wielding robot dragon in the first game is used as a prime example for just how ''weird'' the series is.
