Items associated with two or more versions:
- Cliché Storm: TV was a Quirky Work featuring every well-known anime trope and cliche of the time, but utterly dedicated to playing around with each and every single one and not taking itself very seriously. Dash on the other hand, played its cliches to the letter and was tossed into Fanon Discontinuity for it.
- First Installment Wins: The original OVA series is generally held in high regard as opposed to the overly bizarre TV series and the melodramatic Dash OVA. Though the other two still have their fans as well.
Items found in the OVA
- Designated Villain: Akiko is not so much a villain (questionable company policies aside) as she is both a Mama Bear insistent on getting her beloved son Ryunosuke back and an aggrieved company president demanding the return of her property, the gynoid NK-1124. These provide reasonable motivation to pit her against the title character. Her antagonism is generally just played up for comedy, and she largely loses the antagonist role after the second OAV.
- Toy Ship: In the 6th OAV, grade-schoolers Ryunosuke and Yoshimi are implied to have a puppy-love crush on each other, with Ryunosuke's father teasing Ryunosuke about how happy he is to have Yoshimi over for Christmas.
Items found in Nuku-Nuku Dash:
- Fanon Discontinuity: Dash is generally disliked for making too many changes to the formula, among which are Ryunosuke being aged up from cute little boy to Ordinary High-School Student and Nuku-Nuku becoming his hopeless crush instead of his sister and protector.
