Well, truth be known, I don't really remember all that much about the canonical Gamilons and Desslok. It's been a few years since I watched Star Blazers last, and when I did I didn't enjoy it very much. (Another childhood icon shattered against the cold, hard stone of adult standards. Turns out Leiji Matsumoto's works annoy the hell out of me. Oh well... )

So when you get right down to it, any resemblance betweeen the UF Gamilons and their canon counterparts can be laid at the doorstep of coincidence, or possibly my subconscious memory.
