* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Miyuki/Shara, [[IllGirl already dying]], blows herself up in battle with the Tekkamen attacking the Space Knights' HQ at the end of the first season. However, in the second season, it turns out that the evil Tekkamen survived. Also a scientist from earlier episode.]]

*** For that dub, they had Eric S. Rollman as executive producer. For anyone who doesn't know, Mr. Rollman has been involved in pretty much every AnimatedAdaptation of the MarvelUniverse from WesternAnimation/XMen to present shows like TheSuperheroSquadShow and WesternAnimation/AvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes.

* BadassAngster: Blade, although his badassery and {{angst}} are like an eternal seesaw.

* HenshinHero: Blade, of course. Also Rapier, technically. And of course, everyone in ''Blade II''.

* HoYay: David/Dead in ''Tekkaman Blade II''.

* AlienKudzu: The tekkaplants.

* {{Badass}}: Among many examples, Blade himself. [[http://media.photobucket.com/image/tekkaman/iamrhaza1734/Tekkaman/Tekkamen.jpg?o=6 He took a nuke]] ''[[NoOneCouldSurviveThat to the face]]'' and [[ImplacableMan shook it off like it was]] ''[[ImplacableMan nothing]]''!

* DoubleWeapon: The [[strike:'''''[[MemeticMutation SPACE LANCE]]''''']] Tek Lancer.

''Space Knight Tekkaman Blade'' is a 1992 {{anime}} series by TatsunokoProduction, reimagining their 1970s series ''Anime/{{Tekkaman}} the Space Knight''. The setup for the series is that the Earth is being invaded by parasitic aliens known as the Radam (Venomoids in the English version). The Radam are led by mysterious armored warriors called Tekkamen (Teknomen in the English version). The Earth military and the Space Knights have been unsuccessful at fighting the invading aliens until the arrival of a mysterious young man known as D-Boy, who can transform into the powerful armored warrior Tekkaman Blade.

** The dub surnames of "[[Comicbook/FantasticFour Richards]]", "[[Comicbook/XMen Summers]]", and "[[Comicbook/SpiderMan Jameson]]" may be MarvelComics references.

* IAmHeroHearMeRoar: "Tekkaman Blade!" "Tekkaman Sommer!" "Tekkaman Vesna!" "Tekkaman Hiver!"

* FridgeHorror: [[spoiler:The Radams' true forms are revealed to be parasitic worms. Their ultimate goal is to turn every man, woman and child on Earth into a Tekkaperson and possess their bodies. Extrapolating from this, it's entirely possible that those monsters Blade happily slices his way through in every episode are actually innocent victims of the Radam from previous planets they conquered.]]

* AbsurdlySharpBlade: The various Tek-lancers, which can ''cut '''tanks''' in half''.

* AlasPoorVillain: Pretty much all of the Radam Tekkamen.

* ClipShow: Out of 49 episodes, this series had '''four'''. The last two were only seperated by a couple of episodes (40 and 45).

Though its premise is more like an armored super hero, it still made its way to ''SuperRobotWars'' (''[[SuperRobotWarsJudgment J]]'' and ''[[SuperRobotWarsW W]]''). Go figure. And if superheroes (and {{Capcom}}) are more your cup of tea than giant robots, then you can check out Blade's playable appearance in ''[[TatsunokoVsCapcom Tatsunoko vs. Capcom]]: [[UpdatedRerelease Ultimate All Stars]]''.
