%%*** BigBad: Drake
%%*** TheDragon: Cedric
%%*** TheEvilGenius: Neville
%%*** TheBrute: Ronald
%%*** TheDarkChick: Bellatrix (only mentioned, but she could make an appearance later on).

%%** BladeOnAStick: Daisuke's Mountain Staff, a ''naginata''. Later given to Hitomi.

* [[spoiler: IKnewIt: InUniverse when Maria finds out Sean HasTwoMommies. This leads to her revealing that she HasTwoMommies as well.]]

* DidTheyOrDidntThey: Maria walks into Sean's room offering to take his V-card. We're left with them kissing before cutting away. However, it's pretty heavily implied that TheyDo.

** In episode 6, the Rangers badmouth Dominio's Pizza (which they're eating!) and ''Anime/CodeGeass''.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Rob wants some hostages to stay calm. Said hostages refuse to stay calm. Swabot attacks Rob. Rob beats the Swabot. The hostages calm down.
--> '''Rob''': "''Now'' are you going to listen?"

* ThereAreNoTherapists: Averted. In fact, the Zordonians get information on them from [[WhatAnIdiot their therapists' notes!]]

%%** AnAxeToGrind: Mandla's Mountain Axe, as well as [[spoiler: Ritchie's Gold Axe.]]

* SharedUniverse: Possibly, with [[spoiler:''Anime/TenchiMuyo'']], if off-handed comments by Rashon are to be taken credibly.

* BigDamnVillains: Right before the Rangers can use their FinishingMove, General Arquen jumps in and interrupts their attack.
* BigWhat: Sean when he sees "Hoodie's" PointedEars.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Maria stabs a monster. In the series, you'd expect it not to matter. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, the monster bleeds to death.]]

* MagicalNativeAmerican: Played with. Native American magic is mentioned, but by an anthropologist who has studied Native American culture. The concept itself is criticized by the author both in-story and in the author's notes where he cites Wiki/ThisVeryWiki.

* AndManGrewProud: The "prologue" (at the end of ''Supercharged'' Part 1). Justified in that at the time, humanity was not recording its history and thus forgot about the fight that drove the Zordonians off the planet.
* CasualDangerDialogue

* LemonyNarrator: The Lemoniest! And it's a third-person story, too!

* {{Camp}}: The author is obviously inspired by ''[[Series/PowerRangersRPM RPM]]'' and ''Film/TheDarkKnightTrilogy''. Any Camp is either downplayed, mocked, [[TakeThat criticized]], deconstructed or done in a [[UpToEleven Gurren Lagann-style awesomeness]].

* WeaponOfChoice:
** CoolSword: Sean's GT Sword. Later upgraded.

** BladeOnAStick: Daisuke's Mountain Staff, a ''naginata''. Later given to Hitomi.
** AnAxeToGrind: Mandla's Mountain Axe, as well as [[spoiler: Ritchie's Gold Axe.]]
** KnifeNut / KnifeThrowingAct: Maria's Haz Daggers.
** Archer: Hitomi's Am Bow.

* MagicSkirt: Averted, related to PantyShot below.

* PantyShot: Averted; Maria knows that if she wore a skirt, then she'd get some unwanted attention.

* INeedAFreakingDrink: [[SpotOfTea "WHERE'S THE FUCKING TEA!?"]]

%%* ALoadOfBull:

%%* WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld

%%* WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld

** "One Week More", a re-wording of "One Day More" from ''Musical/LesMiserables''. Chapter 21 plays it more straight.

--->'''Hitomi''': "In the name of SWORD, we shall punish you!"
--->'''Ronald''': "Um, what?"
--->'''Maria'''': "Hitomi, ''Anime/SailorMoon'' taunts never work in real life."

* {{Mooks}}
** MechaMooks: The Swabots in Parts 1 and 2 and the Suitroops in ''Supercharged''.
** NightOfTheLivingMooks: The Mannequins in ''[=GPX=] [=SIU=]''
** EliteMooks: Both in the original and in ''[=SIU=]'' (although in that one, the elites are used more than the main ones)

* VictoryPose
* WeaponOfChoice

* {{Fiction500}}: The Miyazawa family not only owns one of Japan's most successful department store chains, but they also own stock in other chains like Macy's. It's not too much of a stretch to assume they may be at least partially funding Project Ranger.

* OfficialCouple:
** [[BattleCouple Sean and Maria]]
** [[LadyAndKnight Arquen and Eruvanda]]
** [[spoiler: [[InterspeciesRomance Hitomi Miyazawa and Gina Fox]].]]
* OhCrap: Multiple moments.

* AscendedMeme: Deifed in Episode 15, [[spoiler: when a staffer is about to say Sean's power level [[Anime/DragonBallZ is over 9000]], Col. Greene stops him from saying it. However, it's said in episode 33.]]

--> '''Sean''': "What. The. Fuck."

-->"Do the impossible! See the invisible!"

* [[HesBack They're Back]]: [[spoiler: Sean, Kevin and Maria recover [[BigDamnHeroes just in time to save]] Daisuke and Hitomi.]]

* [[spoiler: AbdicateTheThrone: Eruvanda is forced to when Ragnar tries to kill her.]]

* HurricaneOfPuns: That's what happens when you face an otter monster. And we wouldn't have it any [[IncrediblyLamePun OTTER]] way!

* RealityEnsues: Maria stabs a monster. In the series, you'd expect it not to matter. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, the monster bleeds to death.]]

-->'''Kevin''': I'm glad she's on our side!
* WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld

** Particularly funny one aimed at none other than Creator/DavidIcke. Apparently, he asked an alien ambassador about the Reptilians and the ambassador, having no clue who he is, honestly tells him that TheReptilians do not exist and shuts down his entire theory!

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Just because there's swearing and alcohol use explicitly mentioned in the text, doesn't mean there aren't a few euphemisms thrown around.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Maria jokes that Ritchie wants Janet to "[[DoubleEntendre play his flute]]".

* AchillesInHisTent: Zig-zagged with Daisuke. At first, [[spoiler: he (and Hitomi) leaves the team because of some CreativeDifferences - ish grievances (he wanted to be the leader). And then instead him saving the team, they save]] ''[[spoiler: him.]]''
** [[spoiler: The Flash Rangers in episodes 31-33. They reconcile with the GPX Rangers when they realize they have a very common enemy.]]
* ActionFilmQuietDramaScene: Quite a bit of the story. In fact, there might be more of these than actual fight scenes!
* ActionGirl: Maria and Hitomi, Maria more so.
* [[AliensInCardiff Aliens in Orlando]]: Part 2
* AloofBigBrother: Daisuke to Hitomi.
* AmericansAreCowboys: Discussed and averted by the city-slicker Sean who is visibly unhappy with it.

* BadassCrew: The Rangers as a whole.
* BadassNormal: [[spoiler: Toji-san, the Miyazawa bodyguard easily takes out some Swabots to rescue Shingo in Episode 15. Daisuke is also an example after he gives up his powers.]]
* BandOfBrothers --[[InsistentTerminology And sisters!]]

** Don't turn Hitomi's friends feral. Just... [[BewareTheNiceOnes don't.]]
* BigDamnHeroes: It's ''Franchise/PowerRangers'', what do you expect? Arriving in the nick of time to save the city/innocents is their job.
** The best is in, again, Episode 15 when [[spoiler: the three western Rangers [[DynamicEntry jump in]] to save Daisuke and Hitomi.]]
* [[BigWhat Big Que]]: When ever Maria gets flustered, she gives out a big, ''"¡¿QUE!?"''

* BreatherEpisode: Episode 11.
** FestivalEpisode
** HotSpringsEpisode
* BrotherSisterTeam: Daisuke and Hitomi [[spoiler: until Daisuke left the team.]]

** Sean [[spoiler: Beating down Phaedos in Episode 15.]]
* [[spoiler: DarkestHour: Episode 13-14. with chapter 13 being [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin called "Darkest Hour"]].]]

* [[spoiler: DidTheyOrDidntThey: Maria walks into Sean's room offering to take his V-card. We're left with them kissing before cutting away. However, it's pretty heavily implied TheyDo.]]

* [[spoiler: DuelsDecideEverything: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] by Sean, challenging Rashon to a one-on-one battle that if Sean wins, Rashon has to leave. Sean wins.]]
** [[spoiler: Also a variation, because Rashon mentions that he would have left anyway out of sheer humiliation had Sean not challenged him.]]

* EvilLaugh: Phaedos... ''indulges'' himself in episode 12 when [[spoiler:the Rangers split thanks to Daisuke's mutiny.]]

* Filler: Unfortunately. Luckily, it's still quality.
* [[spoiler: FinalBattle]]
* GenkiGirl: Hitomi.

* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: The only way for Maria to get Hitomi out of her BewareTheNiceOnes / BerserkButton mode is to take her helmet off and smack her.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: "Can you call Tokyo with those?"
* HairTriggerTemper: Sean whenever Daisuke insults him.

* [[spoiler: HeroicBSOD: Sean, Kevin and Maria suffer a]] ''[[spoiler: big]]'' [[spoiler: one in episode 14, with Sean even being in a semi-catatonic state. Later in the episode, Daisuke suffers one after getting beat by Hercuron and after Hitomi [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech chews him out for being selfish]]. [[UnexplainedRecovery But they get better.]] [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome ''MUCH'' better]].]]

* HeroicSecondWind: "I told you! [[PunctuatedForEmphasis We're! NOT!! DONE!!! YET!!!!]]"
** But the biggest one comes in [[spoiler: Episode 15. Sean is down, but he blocks Phaedos's sword and goes HotBlooded, declaring he's going to kill Phaedos, somehow tapping into the suit's power which spreads to the rest of the Rangers and they're [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome able to beat the Zordonians]].]]
** Forget episode 15! It's calm compared to episode 33!

* {{Homage}}: To ''Film/JamesBond'' in episode 30, right down to the drink.

* HumanAliens: The Zordonians, natch

--> Kevin: [[LampshadeHanging "A hockey stick! You have a]] ''[[LampshadeHanging hockey stick]]'' [[LampshadeHanging for a weapon!"]]

* IShallTauntYou: Multiple occasions, the Rangers love doing this to their enemies.
* ItWasADarkAndStormyNight: [[ParodiedTrope Stupid]] [[RainRainGoAway rain]]!!

* {{Kaiju}}: The Kel Monster.
--> '''Sean:''' "Oh my god, it's Franchise/{{Godzilla}}!"
--> '''Daisuke:''' "That's not Godzilla! Godzilla doesn't have a big unicorn horn on his head and he doesn't have hair!"

* MultinationalTeam:
** Sean: [=USA=]
** Kevin: Ireland
** Mandla: South Africa
** Maria: Venezuela
** Daisuke & Hitomi: Japan
* NationalStereotypes: Averted. The story does its best to present the Rangers without any stereotypes. In fact, let's check:
** EagleLand: Averted
** {{Oireland}}: Averted

* [[spoiler: NoEndorHolocaust: Because of galactic law, which is apparently enforced no matter what, inhabitants of a planet that are about to be visited must be immunized against alien diseases, usually via the atmosphere, and the visitors have to disinfect themselves.]]

** [[spoiler: He comes off his throne in the final episodes.]]

* RousingSpeech: [[spoiler: Sean quotes the last part of the St Crispian's Day speech from Henry, specifically adapted to their current situation. It ''works''.]]
** [[spoiler: And then in episode 32, right before confronting the Zordonians, Sean gives what could be the most epic RousingSpeech in all of fanfiction, complete with another recital of the [[Theatre/HenryV St. Crispian's Day Speech]].]]

* SemperFi: Sean's brother-in-law Rob.
** [[spoiler: The Silver Ranger might have Marine training.]]
* [[spoiler: SharedUniverse: Possibly, with]] ''[[spoiler: Anime/TenchiMuyo,]]'' [[spoiler: if off-handed comments by Rashon are to be taken credibly]].

*** "Do the impossible! See the invisible!"

* ShutUpHannibal:
--> '''NachtOwl''': We are here to reclaim what is--

** [[spoiler: Episode 31. The city is about to be invaded.]]
** Out-of-universe, it's episodes 13 and 14. Even episode 22 counts.

* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Rashon
* WineIsClassy: Rashon loves his Zordonian wine.
* [[spoiler: WorldOfCardboardSpeech]]

* AllWebbedUp: Poor Ritchie--and about 4 other guys--end up on the wrong end of this from a spider woman.

* UsefulNotes/AmericanAccents: [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]] in one chapter. One of the characters notes how much MinnesotaNice sounds like a [[CanadaEh Canadian accent]], which has Sean talk about how the accents relate to their given stereotypes in media. He then does his own [[Series/SaturdayNightLive "Superfans"]] imitation, which one character has trouble understanding.

* ArcWords: "God's will". There is usually a variation of this sentence spoken, but the two main words remain the same.
** Part 2 brought us "Ragnarok" (at first). Now the word "nightfall" is getting thrown around. So has "Gatchaman". "Only human" is getting thrown around a lot, too.

* [[spoiler: AwfulTruth: The Rangers were indeed experimented on with a super-soldier serum by SWORD. It puts the Rangers into a minor HeroicBSOD.]]
* [[BatmanGambit Batman]] / XanatosGambit: Phaedos and Turelie pull one of these off. [[spoiler: Taking Hitomi, Gina and Maelstrom hostage, they demanded that the Rangers surrender their morphers or else they would kill the hostages and/or release information that would destroy SWORD. Naturally, the Rangers refused. However, they were aware of this and were planning to leak the SWORD-killing information anyway, which they did.]]

** [[spoiler: "[[HellYesMoment IT'S JIMMY]]!!!"]]

* [[BigWhat Big WTF]]: Sean when he sees "Hoodie's" PointedEars.

* [[spoiler: {{Blackmail}}: See ManipulativeBastard.]]
** The Miyazawa matriarch implicitly uses this to keep Sean from kicking her out of the house.
* BreatherEpisode / SomethingCompletelyDifferent: Chapter 10, which has no Ranger action, but is Sean's first hockey game.

* [[CallAHumanAMeatbag Call a Human a "Fleshbag"]]: How Ragnar refers to humans.
* ChekhovsGun: [[spoiler: The bruise Ritchie gave Sean in chapter 1 helps Sean realize Ritchie may have had Project Ranger training. He was right.]]
* ChristmasEpisode: ... About two months early.
* ClarkesThirdLaw: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] here again, except this time, unlike in ''SIU'', Sean takes a [[Series/DoctorWho Doctor]]-like approach to Ragnar's staff... by [[AdmiringTheAbomination admiring it]].
* CoughSnarkCough: "[[HenpeckedHusband Henpecked!]]"
* CowTipping: "[[DeadpanSnarker You mean you actually]] [[InvokedTrope took a break from cow-tipping]] [[TakeThat to go to these games?]]”
* [[spoiler: DeadlineNews: Ragnar's DoNotAdjustYourSet broadcast ends when he orders a killing]] ''[[spoiler: live on air.]]''
* [[spoiler: DefectorFromDecadence: Gina's parents escaped Alfheim after being threatened by Ragnar. Eventually Arquen and Queen Eruvanda defect as well.]]
* [[spoiler: DefiantToTheEnd: Arquen and Eruvanda would have been this... [[BigDamnHeroes had the Rangers not jumped in and saved them]].]]

* DieHardOnAnX: Chapter 9 in an office building, [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded.]]
* DiesWideOpen: [[spoiler: Veronica]]

* [[AliensInCardiff Elves in Madison]]
* EnergyWeapon: Inspired by Loki's staff in ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}''.
* EurekaMoment: Sean has one [[spoiler: when he realizes Ritchie might have been trained by Project Ranger.]]
* EvenTheDogIsAshamed
* [[spoiler: EvilDetectingDog]]

* HannibalLecture: Attempted by Ragnar. Really, it's ''Franchise/PowerRangers''. You actually think it's gonna work?
** [[spoiler: Phaedos's, however, might work on Aaron.]]

** [[spoiler: "[[BigDamnHeroes IT'S JIMMY]]!!!"]]

* [[BaseballEpisode Hockey Episode]]: Chapter 10, Sean's first hockey game of the year.

* InsultBackfire: "That's ''Mister'' [[{{UsefulNotes/Atheism}} Godless Heathen]], to you!"
* KnownOnlyByTheirNickname: "Hoodie", the the elf that the Rangers fight in episode 2.
** His name is Floki.
* MagicStaff / MagicWand: The weapons used by the elves are pretty much this, although ClarkesThirdLaw applies here. It's inspired by Loki's staff in ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}''.
** BoomStick: Related to the above.
* [[spoiler: ManipulativeBastard: Ragnar blackmails Arquen and Queen Eruvanda over possible exposure of their affair to get them to stay in line with his plans.]]
* MakeItLookLikeAStruggle: How [[spoiler: Tiris]] helps [[spoiler: Arquen and Eruvanda escape Alfheim. In this case, he does it to himself.]]
* MassOhCrap: The entire city of Madison has once [[spoiler: when the Rangers lose.]]
** [[spoiler: The Rangers after learning that SWORD had planned to sell them out.]]
* MookHorrorShow: Played up here enough that it might be a PlotPoint.
--> '''Tiris''': "My men have been traumatized by the Power Rangers. They are unstoppable, unyielding and they have turned back each attack! ... My men are the ones being sent to the front lines against the Power Rangers. They are frightened. The Power Rangers' mercilessness has them in a [[ShellShockedVeteran state where they would rather face the firing squad for insubordination!]]"

* NoodleIncident: Apparently something happened when Sean, Jimmy and Kevin found a guy who sounds exactly like Sean while in Ireland, judging my Kevin and Jimmy's nostalgic reactions to it.
** Also, something happened that made Aaron and Maria afraid of the Wisconsin Jump Around.
* [[spoiler: OhCrap: Phaedos is back, and the four Rangers most familiar with him have this very reaction.]]

* PoorCommunicationKills: The plot of episode 4 could have easily been avoided if Maria only told Sean she was getting an HIV test. Instead, not only does she make him think he has a terrible disease, but she was cheating on him, too. They make up at the end, leading to the chapter's [[AnAesop Aesop]]. WordOfGod, of course, says Maria does not have anything an did not give anything to Sean.

* ThePowerOfLove: Symbolic and Parodied: POWER OF LOVE [[WrestlerInAllOfUs CLOTHESLINE!!]]
* PsychoRangers: [[spoiler: Turelie, Phaedos, Tirna, Floki and another elf officer morph into Franchise/KamenRider-like suits.]]
* [[spoiler: RaceAgainstTheClock: The climax of part 1 is a race to deactivate a bomb within 30 minutes. They succeed.]]

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Ragnar delivers one to all of humanity, listing the [[HumansAreBastards species' collective sins]].

** Phaedos even delivers one to her.

* ReptilesAreAbhorrent
* TheReveal: [[spoiler: Hitomi's friend Gina is an elf.]]
* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler: Veronica]]

* SecretChaser: Ritchie Metoxen becomes one for much of episode 6, but [[spoiler: after having his life saved (again) by the Rangers, he decides finding out their identities is like betraying them.]]
** It's the same with Hitomi's friend Gina, but her plot doesn't last as long.

-->'''Hitomi''': [[spoiler: [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech "YOU are a bitter, racist and bigoted old woman who doesn't care about anyone but your foolish pride!]] I'm done listening to you! It's because of you and your abuse that I ended up like this in the first place! You are not the boss of me now!"]]
-->'''Sean & Ritchie''': ''"[[WaxingLyrical And you're not so biiig!]]"''
** From the same episode, Hitomi's [[spoiler: ImportantHaircut scene is similar to the {{Manga/Naruto}} episode "Sakura Blossoms" wherein Sakura cuts her hair in a similar manner.]]

* ShutUpHannibal:
-->'''"Hoodie"/Floki''': (''After getting beat up and Sean saying they're getting back into rhythm'') "Typical. You Rangers cannot solve anything without violence."
-->'''Sean''': "Hey, you picked this fight. We were willing to talk."
-->'''"Hoodie"/Floki''': "It's too late. God has willed for our battle—"
-->'''Sean''': "Oh, shut up!"
-->'''Maria''': "God didn't will this battle!"
** Also:
-->'''Wolf monster''': "The time of the humans is over! Your battle is a ticking time bomb and when it explodes, you will all die! YOUR TIME IS COMING, RANGERS! It will not be soon, but it will come!"
-->'''Sean''': "Aaahhh, [[BigShutUp SHADDAP!]] [[FinishingMove NOW!]]"
** One more:
-->[[spoiler: '''Ingvar''']]: [[spoiler: "You lost yesterday. What made you think you could win today? You won't have anyone to save you this time, human. Look around you. It only took mere moments and you've fallen again. Pathetic. [[TemptingFate What do you think you are, some cowboy?]]"]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Sean''']]: [[spoiler: "[[Film/DieHard Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker!]]"]]
* SlapSlapKiss: More like "Punch, Punch, [[spoiler: hatesex]]" between [[spoiler: Phaedos and Turelie.]]
* SnarkToSnarkCombat: Sean vs. Ritchie over baseball
* SnowMeansCold: Or at least cold means snow.
* SpidersAreScary
** SpiderPeople
* SpoilerTitle / TonightSomeoneDies: [[spoiler: "[[BilingualBonus La Muerte de una Amiga]]"]]
* StuffBlowingUp
* TakeThat: Particularly funny one aimed at none other than Creator/DavidIcke. Apparently, he asked an alien ambassador about the Reptilians and the ambassador, having no clue who he is, honestly tells him that TheReptilians do not exist and shuts down his entire theory!
** The author even takes time out to rip the [[{{Manga/Naruto}} NaruHina]] pairing as the worst-executed pairing he's ever seen when discussing the Sean-Maria-Hitomi LoveTriangle, with Sean as Naruto, Maria as Sakura, and Hitomi as Hinata.

* [[spoiler: TheBusCameBack: Tirna and Phaedos are back and working with Ragnar. Daisuke also returns to fight alongside the Rangers in the climax of Part 1.]]

* VillainousBreakdown: PlayedForLaughs.

* [[spoiler: YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Played with. Ragnar tells Queen Eruvanda that he has no need for her and tries to kill her, but Arquen steps in the way and escapes with her.]]

* AlchemyIsMagic: Discussed, with Sean taking the position that it's science while his opponent Ronald saying it's more of ClarkesThirdLaw.

--> '''Sean''': "You're nothing but a bunch of Ren Faire rejects; you and your fake science."
--> '''Drake''': "Only to primitive minds such as—"
--> '''Sean''': "Invoke Clarke's Third Law again and I'll rip your fucking tongue out."
* AlternateUniverse: That should be obvious.

* [[spoiler: AssassinOutclassin: Rob manages to foil an assassination attempt just by asking the (inexperienced) assassin if he needed any help. It's implied he knew the assassin was up to no good.]]
* [[spoiler: AttemptedRape: Which leads to the ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice death of one of the main villains.]]

* [[BaseballEpisode Basketball Episode]]: The Rangers go to a college basketball game in episode 3. HilarityEnsues.
* BearsAreBadNews
* [[spoiler: BigDamnHeroes: attempted by the Gold Ranger, but he fails, since he's not that great a fighter.]]

* [[spoiler: ColdBloodedTorture: Ronald wanted to torture the Rangers to the worst pain imaginable as part of his revenge.]]
* [[spoiler: ComplainingAboutRescuesTheyDontLike: Maria is not happy when Sean, Kevin and Aaron save her, Rob and Hitomi by the end of episode 5, which [[WhatTheHellHero Sean calls her out]] on.]]
* ContrivedCoincidence: How [[AudienceSurrogate Marty]] feels about the Rangers' backstory.

* [[spoiler: CurbStompBattle: Sean ends up on the wrong end of one in chapter 9. Hitomi also ends up on the wrong end of one a chapter later.]]

* [[spoiler: ADeathInTheLimelight: Episode 6 focuses on Ronald. Guess what happens at the end?]]
* [[spoiler: DyingCurse: "Damn you, Rangers".]]
* {{Eagleland}}: Type 2 parodied in a side story by a man threatening to take a thirty-ought-six to an Ouroboros Society member if they even came to his farm.
* FlyoverCountry

* [[spoiler: GoOutWithASmile]]

* [[spoiler: HeroicSacrifice]]
* HeroicSecondWind: Attempted, [[spoiler: ultimately failed. The only reason they won in episode 6? Ronald accidentally killed himself!]]
* IAmAHumanitarian: The Mannequins.
* IHaveYouNowMyPretty: [[spoiler: And then subverted.]]
* [[spoiler: ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Ronald, but accident.]]
* {{Infodump}}

* [[spoiler: ItsPersonal: The biggest mistake the Ouroboros Society could do is harm a family member. They do just that, earning Sean's wrath.]]

* [[spoiler: LoveTriangle: Between Sean, Maria and Hitomi.]]

* [[spoiler: MeaningfulFuneral: Don't ask who it is. Just go and read the story, right now (the author has requested that we not share the details of who it is).]]
* [[spoiler: NearVillainVictory: Ronald nearly kills the Rangers, but [[HoistByHisOwnPetard accidentally kills himself]].]]
* [[spoiler: NiceJobFixingItVillain: An assassination attempt tips the Rangers off to a professor who may be able to help him.]]

* [[spoiler: PleaseWakeUp]]

* ProtectionMission: Maria and Hitomi are charged with protecting the MacGuffin in episode 5 [[spoiler: They fail.]]

* SpySpeak: Implicit in an e-mail [[spoiler: SWORD sends to Hitomi and Maria regarding their mission.]]
* [[StealthPun Stealth]] VisualPun: Sean grabs Minotoro my his horns.

* WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld

* {{Wendigo}}: A particularly terrifying (and [[ShownTheirWork accurate]]) version appears as a MonsterOfTheWeek in episode 4.

* [[spoiler: WhamEpisode: Episode 6]]
* WhamLine:
--> '''Sean''': "Aside from the possible… what happened with that transmutation circle in [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist FMA]]?"

* YouHaveFailedMe: [[spoiler: Drake says this word-for-word to Ronald after he fails to get what he was chasing in episode 5. However, instead of killing him, he punishes him by removing his rank and forcing him to deal with his failure for the rest of his life!]]
* [[YouKilledMyFather You Killed My Brother]]: Bellatrix wants to beat the Rangers because of [[spoiler: Ronald's death.]]

* OurElvesAreBetter: WordOfGod says they were inspired by ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld''. They're also inspired by Myth/NorseMythology and Creator/JRRTolkien's elves. Although given their nature as antagonist, may be more ScrewYouElves. They also get a DoingInTheWizard treatment, losing their immortality and magic, but it's made up for with a longer lifespan, ClarkesThirdLaw-invoking technology and a more realistic ethereal nature.
* PointyEars: Related to OurElvesAreBetter above, this is what tips the Rangers off to their enemy's nature.

* {{Minotaur}}
