YMMV / Xyber 9: New Dawn

• Ass Pull: How powerful the battle medallion Jack found turned out to be. Not only could it tank anything Machestro dished out once Jack figured out how to use it, it somehow managed to restore Xyber 9 too.
• Awesome Music: The main theme, a rather catchy yet serious tune to underscore the danger.
• Cliché Storm: This show is what you get when you take all the heroic kids' shows of the 80s and 90s, toss a little of the growing anime phenomenon of the time on top and throw it all in a blender. You have seen this plot and these character archetypes a thousand times in other media.
• Complete Monster: Machestro is the Evil Overlord of the Machina, and the orchestrator of all evil in the series. As the Man Behind the Man to King Renard, Machestro supplies him with all the resources and technology he needs to keep his war with the heroic Queen Tatania going, resulting in Terrana's current wasteland state, and even supplies him with a city-destroying rail gun to destroy as much of Tatania's kingdom as possible. Causing droughts, famines, and overall chaos throughout Tatania's forces with his plans, Machestro uses the ancient Hunter Claw robots to lay waste to entire cities and set crops aflame out of spite. Seeking to claim the Xyber 9 so as to blanket Terrana in never-ending darkness, then lead a full scale annihilation of the human race, Machestro tricks the Machina as a whole into believing that they are unable to live in sunlight to keep them under his thrall. In the end, Machestro tries to use the Eye of Darkness to cause an unending night, either unaware or uncaring about the fact that it will result in the deaths of all living things, himself included. Machestro was a sociopathic warmonger obsessed with total domination, and would doom the entire planet due to nothing but his own arrogance.
