History YMMV / HadesProjectZeorymer

** {{OVA}} adaptation: Masaki Kihara creates the mechas for the organization Hau Dragon as well as the ArtificialHumans to pilot them before betraying the Hau Dragon to steal the Zeorymer and dying. Years later, when his clone Masato Akitsu pilots the Zeorymer, Masaki's memories start to take control of the clone's body during his combats against the pilots of the Hau Dragon. During these fights, Masaki exploits their genetically designed emotional flaws to happily kill them without caring about the civilians caught in the crossfire. After [[PeoplePuppets taking near-complete control over Masato's body]], Masaki stops to pilot the Zeorymer, tries to [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil rape]] his creation Miku and tells her about his plans to allow the vengeful Hau Dragon to destroy the world, knowing that he will rule by using another clone inside the organization if they win.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The '''ideas''' are good, even provocative, and there's a Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion sort of deconstruction of the SuperRobot genre built-in to the show. However, the show fails to properly use them. For example, having all of the villains come with [[spoiler: built-in [[FatalFlaw Fatal Flaws]] for Masaki to exploit?]] Clever. But, as TalkingTheMonsterToDeath notes, rather than actually show them exploited, the show prefers to just let Zeorymer nuke 'em into submission.
** Though as some have pointed out, giving every villain a flaw that allows you to manipulate and control them and thus keep the battle always in your favor, is writing-wise no different from just putting a bomb in the cockpit with your hand on the trigger. It's essentially letting the protagonist cheat.

* CompleteMonster: [[MadScientist Masaki]] is the [[BigBad mastermind]] behind the events of the series and the creator of the titular Zeorymer. Formerly a scientist for a secret organization who planned to betray them, Masaki creates his own clone as the pilot of the Zeorymer, and uploads his memories to the Zeorymer before his [[MyDeathIsJustTheBeginning eventual death]] and implants them inside his clone Masato Akitsu in the future. He was trying to overwrite the clone's personality and happily uses Zeorymer's power without caring about the cities caught in the crossfire.
** Manga: Masaki Wakatsuki betrayed his partners before his death, creating clones of himself and his partner's wife before dying. Years later, when his clone Masato pilots his masterpiece Zeorymer to fight against the organization Nematodo, Wakatsuki's memories take over his mind. Later he [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil rapes]] Miku, the clone of his partner's wife, while commenting how he cannot understand why her adoptive father never raped her. When Masato attacks Nematodo's headquarters in an attempt to destroy Zeorymer, it's revealed that Wakatsuki used a prototype of Zeorymer to resuscitate himself in a flawed body and take control of Nematodo by killing their leader. While fighting Masato, Wakatsuki wants to take over his body. When he is outsmarted and defeated by his clone, Wakatsuki tries to activate the self-destruction of the world-destroying machine inside Miku before being killed, which [[DeadMansSwitch triggers]] the self-destruction of Nematodo's base in an [[EarthShatteringKaboom explosion capable of destroying the world]]. A petty megalomaniac, Wakatsuki would [[TakingYouWithMe destroy the planet rather than accept his defeat]].

* CompleteMonster: [[MadScientist Masaki Kihara]], from the {{OVA}} adaptation, is the [[BigBad mastermind]] behind the events of the series and the creator of the titular mecha Zeorymer. Formerly a scientist working for the secret organization known as the Hau Dragon, Masaki created their mechas as well as the ArtificialHumans to pilot them. Betraying the Hau Dragon to steal the Zeorymer, Masaki designates his own clone as its pilot and uploads his memories in the Zeorymer before his [[MyDeathIsJustTheBeginning eventual death]]. Years later, when his clone [[TheProtagonist Masato Akitsu]] is forced to pilot the Zeorymer, Masaki's memories start to take control of his body during his combats against the pilots of the Hau Dragon. During these fights, Masaki exploits their genetically designed emotional flaws to happily kill them without caring about the civilians in the crossfire. After taking near-complete control over Masato's body, Masaki stops to pilot the Zeorymer and tries to rape a female creation and tells her about his plans to allow the vengeful Hau Dragon to destroy the world, knowing that he will rule by using another clone inside the organization if they win.

* FridgeLogic: If Ritsu is neurotic about his feminine appearance, why doesn't he just cut his hair?

* CoitusEnsues: Let's just say the sex scenes in the manga don't mesh very well with the story.

* ColbertBump: The series got some recognition after appearing in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars''.
