That's a very big claim there. It's not something that should be casually said in this site.

* {{Revenge}}:''The'' motivation of most of the heroes; this is possibly the only anime where this ''isn't'' presented in an always-negative light. The treatment of revenge in ''Anime/GunXSword'' is complicated: Ray's pursuit of revenge is depicted as destructive ''and'' self-destructive, since he [[IDidWhatIHadToDo does what he thinks he needs to]] regardless of the cost. This contrasts Ray with Van, who despite gunning for the same man for the same reason has some standards, such as not ruining properties or killing innocents. It's also worth noting that Joshua remains opposed to vengeance throughout the series, and he [[spoiler: nevertheless plays a key role in putting an end to the Claw's plan--through nonviolent means--in the last battle]]. In the end, "Revenge" in the series isn't about whether or not it's the right way to bring about closure, but whether or not you end up ruining other people's lives while you do it. And regardless, while the Clawed Man is a genuinely pleasant man and is a VisionaryVillain with an idea of peace for everyone, a murder is still a murder, it doesn't excuse him from someone who wanted bloody vengeance in the name of someone unjustly killed by him in the name of his dream (and in addition, the lives of many that he and his friends ruined in the name of said peaceful dream), and the old saying of 'Revenge is not the way' tends to not hold up for him and his followers.

Damsel In Distress is the new name of this trope.
* DamselInDistress: Wendy plays this role more than once at the beginning of the series. Lampshaded by Van in episode 2. (Ironically, she needs to be rescued not because she's passive but because she's foolhardy: the Councilman in ep. 2 would have returned her to safety if she hadn't insulted him.)
-->'''Wendy:''' VAN!\\
'''Van:''' What's wrong with you? Why do you keep getting caught?

Added DiffLines:
* MirroringFactions: Van and Wendy find a city in a ravine ruled by identical twin sisters, named L Diver and R driver, who hate each other. The whole city is composed of sets of identical twins who are each backing one of the sisters, as each pair hates each other. This results in two different groups who look like mirror images of each other. They are in constent deadlock as their fights always end in a draw. They hire Van and Ray to fight as their proxies, but when Ray shoots one of R Driver's men he eventually accidentally shoots the man's brother on L Driver's side while fighting with Van, resulting in both men having an arm in a sling.
