* TrumanShowPlot:
** BitingTheHandHumor / TakeThat: The twist ending is commonly thought of as pushback by Sunrise against Takara over conflicts during the making of [[Anime/TheBraveFighterOfLegendDaGarn its predecessor]]. The sheer over-the-top degree to which villainous robots combine and transform, often for no reason and far in excess of how often they do so in other Brave Series shows, might be an extended example against the excesses of MerchandiseDriven shows in general, [[SelfDeprecation though of course Might Gaine is such a show itself]].
