  • Complete Monster: Empress Janera; Emperor Zu Zambajil; King Olban & Sakimori Miwa. See those pages for details.
  • Draco in Leather Pants:
    • Prince Heinel may have invaded the Earth, committed several heinous crimesnote , attacked and imprisoned his own comrades, and fights to uphold a Fantastic Caste System where anyone who isn't a Horned Boazanian is meant to live as a slave... but he's also a blonde Bishounen who wears a gorgeous blue mink coat and has a tragic backstory. For a character in a mecha anime, he looks ridiculously shoujonote . As a result, many fanfictions and fanart portray him as a sympathetic victim and pin the blame on his Evil Uncle for ordering him to invade the Earthnote .
    • Sure, Katherine Rii is complicit in Heinel's crimes and goes out of her way to help him succeed, but she's also very pretty, has a caring side, and has a well-done Character Arc about witnessing the horrors of war firsthand. The Roman Robo Anime Climax Selection also reveals the reason she became friends with Heinel - as children, she saw him being bullied and felt protective of him.
    • Sure, Prince Richter attempted to wipe out the entire population of Earth and started a war that claimed the lives of many innocents, but he is still an honorable, caring Prince to his people, the Baam-seijin, and genuinely wanted the best for them after Planet Baam was destroyed. When Richter finds out the truth — that it was actually Olban who killed his father, not the humans — he is so ashamed of his actions that he atones by taking his own life. Design-wise, Richter has a chiseled jaw, prominent muscles, and long blonde hair, and his default outfit shows off a lot of skin.
  • Germans Love David Hasselhoff: The latter two installments were big in the Philippines. Voltes V also enjoyed a large amount of popularity in Cuba, Indonesia and Italy.
