* [[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.

** 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.
* [[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.
* [[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]].
