I don't think using another song in it's entirety with the proper credits really counts as a ripoff

Any idea why Imagawa decided to use this piece?

It works wonderfully, just curious if there's any deeper meaning. I don't really see any parallels between Giant Robo and the Donizetti Opera in question. Any thoughts?

If I had to force a relation, I'd say that the scientist's love is the completion of the Shizuma drive, and the love potion is the forcing of the activation of it all before they were prepared, but their "love potion" is a fake and they suffer the consequences.

But I dunno
