* BigRedDevil: The Death Baron is almost completely purple but looks very devilish, with big horns on its head, its face decorated with a wicked laughing mouth, big batlike wings on its back and even a demon tail. Might just as well have been named the "Devil Baron" instead.

* DwindlingParty: During the raid to the Sigma Tower to rescue the captive Shoko, the members of the team end up sacrificing themselves to help the others go forward. First the Viking Brothers, later Hashmikov, Marilyn and Asimov. Only Ken, Chatatsu and Komei make it back out.

* EvilCounterpart: Shadow's Gold Baron is initially this for Ken's Red Baron. The Gold Baron can use its own version of the Electrigger, although it also has other techniques and equipment unique to it. For the last arc, there's also the Evil Ken, which is a robotic evil doppelganger of Ken, with his own Metal Fighter, the Death Baron, both created by [[spoiler:the Sigma supercomputer that Tetsuo Kaeba created]].

* TheFourGods: Just barely subverted in the finale with the four main Metal Fighters. [[TigerVersusDragon Chatatsu has the Byakko motif and his element is wind, and Komei has the Seiryu motif and his element is water]]. Ken and Shadow do not possess the motifs for the other two gods, but their elements are fire and earth (which would make them Suzaku and Genbu respectively).

* KameHameHadoken: The Gold Baron's technique, Rising Hurricane, fires an energy blast from the hands (even performing the typical poses while preparing the attack).
** Subverted with Chatatsu's technique. He charges his attack in the same fashion as the standard KameHameHadoken, putting both his hands behind him as if holding a ball of energy, but it's not an energy attack, and instead of shooting a chi blast, he just shoves his hands (deploying his mecha's signature WolverineClaws at this point) into the chest of the enemy robot, ripping out its internal power mechanisms [[AndShowItToYou as if ripping out a man's heart]]. He can also do this technique outside of his mecha with his own hands, against a smaller robot closer in size to an actual person, as seen in Episode 41.

** It also happens very early to Komei, whose original mecha, known as the Shinron, is defeated by Chatatsu's Kung-Fu Tiger during the Metal Fighters tournament. Komei replaces his destroyed Shinron with the much improved Shinryu, which has a dragon-themed head armor and which is roughly equal to the Kung-Fu Tiger in fighting power.

* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Too many characters seem to want to claim this title by defeating the Red Baron. For Komei and Chatatsu, it seems more like an excuse to help Ken and hang out with him more than anything. For Shadow, this seems to be his reason to defect from Iron Mask and join forces with Ken and his friends during the last arc against the Sigma supercomputer.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: Komei. He just can't stop talking about ancient Chinese cooking metaphors and proverbs — even as he is fighting for his life against monster robots.
