One thing that I read into with Kuuga's first thumbs up -
Kuuga's
first thumbs up, not Godai's - is that it felt like... it felt like the best possible way to communicate to both Ichijou and the audience that this character is human. That's something that I believe extends to the other 49 episodes as well, but focusing purely on this moment; it's just the most wonderful, perfect way to cap off a whirling 3-4 minutes of violence.
Usually a piece of superhero media with a similar premise would follow that fight off with a lot of apprehension from the authorities; and some confusion from the hero; and all the conflict that comes with it. And not to say that Kuuga doesn't concern itself with that, but right now at this moment? Kuuga and Ichijou are stuck alone on a confined space in the air. As far as Ichijou knows he's face-to-face with a violent destructive monster who cares for nothing other than beating his foe... and then he gets the simplest, most human expression he could get to assure him. The bug-eyed white-armoured thing with a jagged mouth gives him a thumbs up.
It's so small, it's so minimalist, and it's what's wonderful about Kuuga. I think this perhaps more than any other scene from Kuuga sticks out as the one part I think of when I think of this series.

This is going to be a very long thread, because Godai has a
spectacular
wardrobe no matter the episode!
