History Anime / GaoGaiGarFINAL

* TemptingFate: A comical example occurs in episode 1 during the battle between GaoFighGar and Gimlet Empereur. Guy fires off the Broken Phantom, however Gimlet sees the attack coming and expands Empereur's torso so that it creates a hole for Broken Phantom to harmlessly pass through. Just as he begins to laugh at Guy, [[FailedASpotCheck Empereur's torso is twisted and torn apart by the Phantom Ring that remained after Broken Phantom flew through the hole.]]

* ShootTheMedicFirst: Inverted. The heroes push themselves to the limit to destroy the other Sol Masters knowing full well that they'd be revived by Pisa Sol, but it turns out it was all a BatmanGambit to make Pisa Sol use up her energy, leaving her vulnerable to the [[DropTheHammer Goldion Crusher]].

* BitchInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler:Repli-]]Mamoru. Despite his insistence that he needs Q-parts to "help save the universe" he causes lots of needless destruction and casualties during his raids on GGG compounds that keep said Q-parts, even killiong Papillion Noir while doing so despite her being no threat to him (though it might've been because she became aware of his true nature and that of the Q-parts). He even manipulates the GGG staff and Brave Robots while doing so, appealing to their bond with him and then using their brief moment of hesitation to strike at them.

* HappyEndingOverride: The TV series ended with Mamoru and Galeon heading into space to find and destroy any other new machine species out there. The novelization of ''FINAL'' revealed that [[spoiler: the existence of other new machines species was a lie, and it was actually Pei La Cain telepathically luring Mamoru and Galeon into a trap.]]

*** A bit of AllThereInTheManual would show that [[spoiler:they may not have even had to wait anywhere near ''that'' long: one of Genesic's abilities that was never shown is called the Galeoria Road. Most speculation on it is that it emulates the dimension-travelling power of the Galeoria Comet, meaning that the key to their salvation is already at hand.]]

* AGodAmI: Palparepa starts spouting this in the final episode, saying he has the power of a god and [=GaoGaiGar=] will be crushed by his overwhelming power. Gai [[{{Understatement}} expresses his dissenting opinion]].

GGG - with Guy Shishioh and the newly-constructed [=GaoFighGar=] - teams up with their French counterpart Chasseur to battle the evil organization Bionet. Among Chasseur`s ranks is Renais Cardiff Shishioh, Guy's cousin - a former Bionet cyborg with the relentless pursuit of destroying those who took away her humanity. But after a battle with Bionet, GGG`s bases around the world are suddenly attacked, and the recently-discovered "Q Machine Parts" and the original Gao Machines are stolen by Mamoru Amami, who has been abducted and cloned by an even greater threat known as the "Eleven Masters of Sol." Evicted from Earth by the United Nations, GGG must now travel to the far reaches of the galaxy to battle the Sol Masters and save the universe before it`s too late.

* ArcWords: "What overcomes regeneration is the power of destruction. It is the hope to a new zero, the challenge of infinite possibility."

* BerserkerTears: Guy does this when [[spoiler:he is sent into a rage at Mamoru destroying [=ChoRyuJin=], and is forced to use Hell And Heaven with all his might to essentially kill Mamoru, tears streaming down his face all the while. It later turns out that it wasn't the real Mamoru, but that's beside the point.]]

* BookEnds: In the first episode of the original [[Anime/GaoGaiGar series]], EI-02 takes a Broken Magnum to the head, and regenerates, just to take a punch right in the jaw. In the last episode of FINAL, Palparepa takes a Broken Magnum at point-blank range, right in the head, and regenerates, just in time to get a socked right in the jaw.

* TheCameo: Guy's parents cameo near the end of the seventh opening in a blink or you miss it moment.

* ChekhovsGun: Of all things, the ''Tiger Wood''.

* DarkerAndEdgier: FINAL is much darker than the original series, given that it's an OVA, it's obvious why.

* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: The last episode is called "Final of Final".

* EveryoneLooksSexierIfFrench: Renais is French, and is very hot... well, literally and figuratively. Look but don't touch--her skin temperature runs hot enough to burn on contact.

** Also subverted from the very beginning - Swan White, GGG's resident MsFanservice, is American.

* AGodAmI: Palparepa.

* GoOutWithASmile: Once Pisa Sol is destroyed, one could tell [[spoiler:Goldymarg]] was smiling before his death.

** Done more personally to Palparepa when he tries to take down the titular mecha with a bio-tech computer virus...only to find out that Guy's Evoluder powers enable him to rewrite said virus and infect him right back.

** This actually gets shown in detail in the ''GaoGaiGarFINAL'' prequel manga.
