- Anti-Climax Boss: A non-Videogame example: the second time Kotaro shows up in order to face Yaiba he's bisected by Rokuemon Ishida's attack. Justified, because Kotaro was totally unaware of his plans.
- Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: the whole segment with the Arabian King is easly this. Also any of the Filler stories can count. And the story of the Giant Electrical Eel.
- Ensemble Dark Horse:
- Emerald appeared briefly, but she's the third most popular character, right behind Sayaka and Yaiba.
- Bat-Guy is in the end credits before he's introduced and long after he's defeated.
- Evil Is Cool: Onimaru. Just look at his Armor (see below).
- Hilarious in Hindsight: Miyamoto Musashi is often compared to Kame-Senn'in/Mutenroshi (Master Roshi) from Dragon Ball, from Dragonball Z Kai onwards Masaharu Satou is now Kame-Senn'in's current voice actor note
- A certain bald superhero looks very similar to Onimaru, which retroactively makes it hard to take Onimaru seriously.
- The First Class Soldiers from The Pyramid Arc were females with names based on precious stones, create personalised weapons, and Can fuse into stronger form. Two decades later...
- A Shōnen series starring a knuckleheaded, pointy-haired Kid Hero ends with a Princess Kaguya-themed Big Bad? Hmmm...
- One-Scene Wonder: Hattori Hanzō.
- Viewer Gender Confusion: Jewel is quite androgynous, but is supposedly male (even though he was composed of female cyborgs.... Also Rain. She's totally androgynous, but she refers to herself as female.
