* HourOfPower: A major weakness of the ''2040'' hardsuits is that they're battery-powered, so any of the Sabers might lose power if they aren't careful.
Added DiffLines:
* ToxicPhlebotinum: A major revelation in the second half of the series is that [[spoiler: the cores of the Knight Sabers' hardsuits are boomer technology -- meaning that the suits could go rogue just like the other boomers they fight at any time, or have Galatea control them. After the revelation, the MidSeasonUpgrade suits Sylia creates make more overt use of boomer tech. In the GrandFinale, this overlaps with SentientPhlebotinum when the Sabers willingly release the restraints on their suits and [[ThePowerOfTrust ask for their help]] to defeat Galatea.]]

* NeverTrustATitle: The title makes the series sound like a wacky slapstick comedy, but it is actually a gritty ''Film/BladeRunner''-esque cyberpunk series.

* EpicFail: Nene gets easily defeated in the hologram trainer at level 5, which is considered to not be difficult. Priss and Linna laugh their heads off that Nene wasn't able to clear that stage.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: The opening credits for ''Moonlight Rambler'' show Priss and Sylia noticing a light in the night sky representing the ship Sylvie and Anri have escaped on, setting up that the next two episodes will be about them specifically. Priss because of her eventual bond with Sylvia, Sylia because [[spoiler:Largo is heavily implied to be Brian J. Mason.]]

* TheCameo: At the beginning of the first episode of the OVA, when Priss is performing the opening song, none other than Umibozu from ''Manga/CityHunter'' can be seen in the audience. Interestingly, this is the first appearance of Umibozu, or any ''City Hunter'' character for that matter, in anime; The anime for ''City Hunter'' itself would not air for nearly six weeks after the release of the first ''Bubblegum Crisis'' OVA.

* DarkerAndEdgier: In comparison to ''Classic'', this series is quite a bit darker and much more serious in terms of presentation. Rogue Boomers are more like horrifying mutated monsters as opposed to the rampaging robots of the original, while many of the newly interpreted characters have become either meaner or more sullen then they were in the original series. Priss' haircut is even a literal representation of this, as it goes from light brown and rounded in the original OVAs to dark brown and semi-spiky in here. The change in music also helps to show this as while ''Classic's'' OST was pretty upbeat and full of pop rock, ''2040's'' soundtrack is much more gloomy and serious, falling more along the lines of heavy metal.

* ActuallyADoombot: GENOM's CEO in the OVA is never found on-screen; it's always an android impersonator. Which is good because this saves his life.

The meaning of the title is obscure. Most commentators believe that it refers the point in blowing a bubblegum bubble where it has equal chances of exploding all over your face or collapsing limply. The mid-21st-Century society depicted in the show appears to be approaching a similar crisis point. In what is certainly a coincidence, the [=OVA=] production roughly corresponds to the peak (and burst) of Japan's Bubble Economy (1988-1991).

The Motosalves were definitely too big to be fighting in the ADP HQ. Also, they needed to test the new suits.

** Why don't we see the Motoslaves after OVA 6? They would have come in handy fighting Reika's Genki battlemover, and they could have taken on Miriam's Boomers without needing the hardsuits to be upgraded.
