Laws of Mecha Anime: (Started and compiled by me)

Numbers laws: These apply only if the specific mech is commonly referred to with the number added on. If only someone whose an Otaku enough to have memorized the serial number knows the number they do not apply. They do apply to both piloted mechs, suits, and androids though.

Zeroth Law: If your mech is referred to with a 0, you likely know more then others and are going to go the way of the dodo.
(ex: MADOX-00, EVA 00)

First Law: If your mech is referred to with a 1, you are likely a main character and going to survive. You are likely heads and shoulders above your other units, even though you don't necessarily know what you're doing.
(ex: Guyver 1, Iczer-1, EVA 01, Core Robot 1, MADOX-01, and SDF-1)

Second Law: You are a arrogant git who harasses other characters and is going to most likely die a horrible death.
(ex. Guyver 2, Iczer-2, EVA Unit 02, Core Robot 2, Balzac, and SDF-2)

Third Law: There is something weird and out of whack about you.
(ex. Guyver 3, EVA Unit 03, and Core Robot 3)

Others:
If you steal a mech you know its designer.
(Gato, Kou, Amuro, Camille, Noal/Ringo…

Should you pilot a mech, no one will recognize you when you wear sunglasses, change your hair style, or happen to be somewhere you are not expected to be.
(Char, Balzac, Gato..)

When you rely on the sheer power of your mech, you are required to get your ass handed to you prior to receiving any further upgrades or learning how to avoid this problem.
