The setting takes place 8 years after the finale of ''[=GaoGaiGar=] Final''. In year 2016, the former [[KidHero kid heroes]] of [[Anime/GaoGaiGar Gutsy Galaxy Guard]]--Mamoru Amami, and Ikumi Kaidou have grown up into adulthood and are now continuing their earth defense service for Earth’s new formed GGG--Gutsy Global Guard, piloting the new King of Braves: [=GaoGaiGo=] in hopes to harness the energy of THE POWER for their mission to rescue the GGG Braves left behind in the Trinary Solar System. They head to Jupiter--over which the "Conqueror King" hangs ominously.

* AndTheAdventureContinues: [[spoiler: Guy sets off to Jupiter to research, and come up with preventive measures to block Trinity-Zero from affecting Earth]].

*** [[spoiler: The story begins with Galeon sending the infant Latio to The Amamis to become their son, Mamoru. By the closing of ''[=GaoGaiGar=] vs. Betterman'', The Amami Clan reunites with Galeon at that same location to bid it farewell, with Mamoru--now as a new father who choses to stay on Earth to raise his family, and give his blessings to Galeon in hopes it would be the best partner for Guy]].
*** [[spoiler: Guy achieves his original dream of heading out to Jupiter as a researcher--personally piloting a spaceship in his ordinary spacesuit. This time, he has Mikoto, J, Renais, and Galeon accompanying him on the journey]].

* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: [[spoiler:After Guy's return and the reveal that the Gutsy Galaxy Guard technically never disbanded, it's soon realized that there are now two similar organizations with similar names that share an acronym. So to avoid confusion, the Gutsy ''Galaxy'' Guard and the Gutsy ''Global'' Guard are called "GGG Green" and "GGG Blue" respectively after the respective organizations' uniforms]].

*** Chief of Gutsy Global Guard, Shigeru Akamatsu--late of ''Anime/{{Betterman}}''--is the son of Liger Shishioh, half-older brother of Renais Cardiff Shishioh, nephew of Leo Shishioh, and cousin of Guy Shishioh.
*** Shigeru’s daughter, Sakura is also part of GGG. Due to Shigeru had her later in age ([[SharedFamilyQuirks like his dad and uncle]]) Sakura’s age is close to her [[PracticallyDifferentGenerations Uncle Guy and Auntie Renais]].

** [[spoiler: Guy and Mikoto evolved into Evoluders by the ending of their home series. Contrary to the belief that they are similar to Mamoru, revealed in ''FINAL’s'' novel, Evoluders are genetic fusion of humans with a type of alien inorganic compound, which renders them similar to Zonders]].

* ManchurianAgent: The final act reveals that [[spoiler:Guy was one, as it turns out he does in fact have [[TheCorruption Triple-Zero]] in his system – it was just being suppressed by his G-Stone. It's only when the Bettermen enrage him that it manifests. [[ZeroApprovalGambit It turns out this was the Bettermen's intention]] so that they could rid him of the "Root of Evil" once and for all]].

* OddlySmallOrganization: After [[spoiler:Guy's return]], it's revealed [[spoiler:that while all of the Gutsy Galaxy Guard's duties and staff (apart from those left in the Trinary Solar System) had been folded into the Gutsy Global Guard (later retroactively titled GGG Blue to avoid confusion), Chief Yaginuma hadn't retired as was commonly believed, but had stayed on as Chief of the ''Galaxy'' Guard (similarly dubbed GGG Green). And since all the other members (apart from Mamoru and Ikumi) were officially MIA, he was technically the only remaining member of GGG Green until Guy came back. The trope still applies after Guy's return, as while Taiga is reappointed the GGG Green's Chief, with the rest of the group ''incommunicado'', the UN hands over the reins to Guy as [[OverlyLongTitle "Gutsy Galaxy Guard’s Acting Chief-slash-Mobile Corps Captain-slash-only member."]]]]

** Due to being born in a much more average parent-to-child generational time-frame, the age gap between Shigeru in comparison with his half-sister Renais, and cousin Guy are pretty wide in length; with Shigeru already in his middle ages.

** Guy is in the same age group as Renais due to his father Leo marrying late in age under May-December romance, with his mom giving birth to him in average settings.

* VersusTitle: As the title implies, this is about [=GaoGaiGar=] facing off against Betterman, seeing as Lamia seems to have some kind of umbrage with Guy. However, it's not until the final act that [[spoiler:the Bettermen and GGG actually face off]].

* ZeroApprovalGambit: [[spoiler:The finale has the Bettermen attack the UN base on the moon and then (seemingly) annihilate all of GGG's mobile unit except Final [=GaoGaiGar=], and ''then'' go after the parts of it that are controlled by Guy's human allies until only Guy and Mamoru are left in Final [=GaiGar=] (in reality they've all been sent to a pocket dimension). This turns out to be a ploy to get Guy to awaken the last bit of Triple-Zero within him so he can become the final King of Ruin. This done, they hope to defeat him and allow an Animus Patria seed to grow from Guy's G-Stone, which would allow the Bettermen to move to a new world]].

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The "Hakai-Oh" title has the common issue of the meaning of the kanji put together not being the clearest: 覇界王 means "Supreme," "World," and "King" respectively. This was, historically, an informal title often given to great ''conquerors'', so you could also translate it as "King of Conquerors". The linguistic twist, though, is that in spoken language, it's a perfect homonym for 破壊王, or "King of Destruction" (which links back to certain themes surrounding [=GaoGaiGar=] as an idea in ''FINAL''), and it is ''very'' intended that the reader is meant to think of both readings when hearing the title. The title has, variously, variously been fan translated as "Overlord" or "King of Ruin" in attempts to capture the full nature of the title in English. In its official English language debut in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars30'', the title was translated as "King of Kings".

** Betterman Catephract – the fusion of seven Bettermen formed from Rakan's ''Pectofores Sanctus'' ability.

*** Rakan also sometimes uses this ability to turn Bettermen into armor for GGG mecha, culminating in all the Bettermen that form Catephract fusing with [=GaoGaiGo=] or [[spoiler:[=GaoGaiGar=]]] to form Musou [=GaoGaiGo=] or [[spoiler:Musou [=GaoGaiGar=]]] respectively.

** [[ThePatriarch Patriarchs]] Liger and his late brother Leo have the penchant for [[MayDecemberRomance May-December romances]] due to being [[MarriedToTheJob married to their jobs]], with Liger being the troublemaker of living the lifestyle of [[TheCasanova a Casanova]]; which made him went through '''7 marriages and fathered 28 offsprings.''' Shigeru and Renais are only ''two'' of his 28 kids; no wonder the two of them went NomDeMom.[[note]]See Renais' character folder on ''FINAL'' for more details.[[/note]]

*** Shigeru’s daughter, Sakura is also part of GGG. Due to Shigeru had her later in age ([[SharedFamilyQuirks like his dad and uncle]],) Sakura’s age is close to her [[PracticallyDifferentGenerations Uncle Guy and Auntie Renais]].

** On the Somniums side Yewya, Gajumaru and Hiiragi are similar to [[Anime/Betterman Seeme, Bodaiju and Lord Palkia]] respectively, they even consume the same Animus Seeds as their counterparts.
