So one of my favorite arcs in Daimos happens between episodes 25-28 or so, when the Baam scientist Aizam comes to aid Richter in his fight against Daimos. It's the archetypical mid-season upgrade for the main robot, and it has some of the best fights of the show against some very interesting monster designs. But I've only ever experienced it dubbed, so when I watched episode 27, I was genuinely surprised by a major difference in the plot I was unaware of.
In the dub, the upgrade for Daimos comes in the form of what is essentially perfected Daimo Light energy. It increases Daimos' power output enough to use the new weapons and overcome Aizam's enhanced armor (similar to the Chodenji Ball arc in Voltes V). But in the subs the power comes from an entirely different souce.
Dr. Banks doesn't create perfected Daimo Light. He uses a ring from a Baam escapee to produce Aizaron Particles, the same particles Aizam is using to power his super mecha.
It's literally the villain's innovation used against them. I think that's pretty damn cool, and I'm confused why they'd change it so drastically in the dub. Anyone have any ideas?
