Line 7:
* [[Fan Wank]]: As noted in [[The Other Wiki]], there has been speculation among fan circles that possible research prior to Nagahama's then-upcoming stint as director of the ''[[Rose of Versailles]]'' anime may have influenced some themes and plot ideas for this show, such as those of revolution, social class upheaval, the medieval-esque setting of Boazan, the dramatic approach and the [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|frilly dresses]]. Some [[Super Robot]] fans, who watched this show expecting pure [[Hot-Blooded|hot-blooded]] action and are openly put-off with what they deem as excessive [[Melodrama]] and [[Angst]], took things further by holding this theory to be the only explanation on why Nagahama would dare try to write "[[Shojo]] sensibilities" into a [[Super Robot]] show that's supposed to be for young boys.
** And also, [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3234823/1/Voltes_V_versus_Voltron_The_Godaikin_Wars this fanfic.] The only English language fanfic involving Voltes V that features one of the worst [[Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny]] style fan wanks ever.

* [[Harsher in Hindsight]]: Look closely in the first episode where the Boazanian invasion armada was laying waste to the world's military forces and key cities...among the casualties and damage is a pair of conspicuously familiar twin towers.What's more disturbing is that this image was flashed right after the montage of the Liberty getting blown up.▼
** The series also [https://geekositymag.com/voltes-v-left-a-gigantic-unparalleled-mark-on-cinema-in-cuba/ left a mark] in many a Cuban youngster during the 80s when it was released theatrically in the Carribean archipelago. When news came about the Philippine live-action adaptation, those who remembered the series fondly [https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=585441082519568 was more than overjoyed] as they would finally get to see their beloved "Voltes Cinco" again, this time in live action.

* [[Misaimed Fandom]]: Not a few people who watched this show are in it mainly for the back-stabbing and high drama of the Boazan nobility, going as far as to say that Heinel and the other villains own the story and not the boring goody-two shoes heroes and the Earthlings; conveniently ignoring the fact that the Earthlings aren't exactly portrayed idealistically either, [[Not So Different|as they were just as predisposed to prejudice and petty bickering as the villains]].
* [[Moral Event Horizon]] / [[Kick the Dog]]: You will see the incident where Heinel {{spoiler|takes a little girl hostage so her father would be forced to cooperate in his schemes against the Voltes Team; only to find out later that he has already killed off the said girl afterward}} as the former if you think that the said action cements his status as a [[Card-Carrying Villain|villain]] [[Complete Monster|that is NOT to be liked]]; or the latter for simply being a way of the authors of telling the audience to be wary of how [[Politically-Incorrect Villain|screwed up]] [[Society Is to Blame|he became]] from the culture that he has been brought up in.
Line 16 ⟶ 18:
** Heinel's [[Dub Name Change|name in the said dub]] however, is straight-up cheese. Other Filipino fans better not get their hands on the [[Zardoz|movie]] where the dubbers/translators got the name from if they want to save their sanity and/or not die from laughing.
*** [[Your Mileage May Vary]]. This troper still thinks Zardos sounds better than Heinel. Didn't Heinel play guitar for The Red Hot Chili Peppers?
**** But he doesn't spit guns from his mouth or wear a space nappy either. And according to [https://web.archive.org/web/20130313105622/http://users.animanga.com/voltesv/faq/trivia.html this page], he wasn't named after anybody in particular, but was taken from the Japanese corruption of the word "(Your) Highness".
***** "Your Highness" is "Denka". You must be thinking "Your Majesty", which is "Heika".
****** We're talking about the play on the Japanese pronunciation of the ''English'' word--as in, ''Haineru'' (Heinel) from ''(Yua)Hainesu'' ((Your)Highness), not the other way around(as said in the link above).
