History VideoGame / Pulseman

* WeaksauceWeakness: If Pulseman enters water, he can no longer use Volteccer, Slash Arrow, or even use his basic electric slash (though contrary to Dr. Waruyama's hammy voice acting, water will not actually ''destroy'' Pulseman, but it's pretty dang inconvenient anyway).

** The English VC release implies that Yoshiyama became Waruyama due to his mind being warped when re-entering the real world, although there's nothing like this mentioned in the original Japanese version.

* [[TakeOverTheWorld Take Over the Galaxy]]: Dr. Waruyama's goal.

* WeInterruptThisProgram: The ending has Pulseman briefly take over a news broadcast to prove he's still alive.

* [[MyKungFuIsStrongerThanYours My Volteccer Is Stronger than Yours]]: If Pulseman and Veil both use Volteccer and they collide with each other, Pulseman's Volteccer will knock Veil out of his own, giving Pulseman time to damage Veil using his close-range electric attack before they both land on the ground. This is the only way to actually damage Veil during his boss fight.
** While Pulseman is normally drawn out of Volteccer as well, a tool assisted speedrun discovered a 1-frame window where Pulseman could continue Volteccer. Veil would therefore be damaged by Volteccer instead of stunned.

* AGodAmI: Sort of. Dr. Waruyama's motivation for plotting to rule the galaxy is that he thinks he's the godliest, most divinely genius scientist in the world.

** DistressedDamsel: However, depending on which translation of the manual you're using, Beatrice might have been this instead; that is, she might have been kidnapped and held hostage against her will to help the Galaxy Gang, and Pulseman might've rescued her from the gang.

* LoveInterest: Beatrice.

* BadassAdorable: Pulseman has a feminine-sounding voice and cute looks, and he kicks a lot of ass throughout the game.

* HighHeelFaceTurn: And one that isn't even a spoiler, since it happens before the game takes place. Beatrice used to be a member of the Galaxy Gang, but she left the gang after meeting Pulseman and became his girlfriend.

* LargeHam: Dr. Waruyama comes off as this when you hear his voice clips, all of which are in English despite this being a Japanese game. For example: "Water will destroy Pulseman!"
