History Manga / TentaiSenshiSunred

** [[spoiler:Florsheim vs. Devil Eye Army]]

* ShoutOut -- Tama from ''BambooBlade'' appears riding past, and Antkiller does Red Braver's finishing move, Atomic Fire Blade, in episode 24. In episode 23, Sunred is seen walking by a ''Spider-Man'' poster.

* EmbarrassingRingtone: The nominal head villain gets a new cell phone with a ringtone that pegs him as an old guy--and later it goes off when people are trying to hide, and of course the hiding people can't figure out how to turn it off.

* HypocriticalHumor -- Happens when the unwanted monster in the ceiling rightfully chews out Sunred for being a jerk to Kayoko and calls him a freeloader. Lampshaded by Vamp's Combat Goons.

* {{Tsundere}} -- Sunred, towards his girlfriend Kayoko. And somewhat against Florsheim too, given that he's rude and abrasive against them on one hand and on the other shows up to help clean an unwanted monster out of their attic.

* TedBaxter -- Peeled Shrimp thinks he can beat Sunred five times out of ten, but he's one of the only Florsheim monsters that Vamp doesn't even consider sending after Sunred.

* RealSongThemeTune -- Twice, for a SpecialEditionTitle, a real song has been used. The first season had a polyphonic ringtone version of the incredibly popular (at the time) song [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Nn6nWIhENM "Shuchishin"]], by the [[MrFanservice idol group of the same name]], when Vamp had it as his ringtone. The second season used the Kawasaki city anthem [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6f7tqUm8q7s "Suki desu, Kawasaki, Ai no Machi"]] in an episode where the song was annoying one of Florsheim's monsters.

** The S2 opening even has Antkiller wheeling Sunred's bike down the sidewalk.

Sunred, a {{Sentai}} hero of justice. Florsheim, an evil organization bent on taking over the city. Legions of monsters ready to fight.

That's how the story would be. Sunred is a bit of a jerk who wears his mask at all times. While mooching off of his girlfriend Kayoko, he deals with Florsheim on a daily basis, just not as you'd expect. He's on (grudgingly) friendly terms with the leader, General Vamp, and helps him move into a new house, clean his place, and occasionally meet to fight as heroes and villains do.

The support cast consists of several monsters from Florsheim and other evil organizations going about their daily lives.

* ChasteHero -- Villain edition though. All the sexual references and innuendos seem to fly over Vamp's head.

* MyNameIsNotDurwood -- The first time Sunred and Hengel meet, Hengel steadfastly refuses to get Sunred's name right, calling him "Red Moon", "Red Mask" and "Star Red", among others.

* HeyItsThatVoice: The only big names in the series are Kurumi Mamiya (Anime/{{Hamtaro}}) as Usacots, Hidekatsu Shibata ([[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Führer King Bradley]]) as General Hengel, and Louis Yamada LIII and Higuchi-kun (a French-themed [[BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine manzai duo]] called Hige Danshaku[[note]]Baron Beard[[/note]]) as General Vamp and Mook #1. Yamada is now the bungling professor in ''TensouSentaiGoseiger''.

Yamada is now the bungling professor in ''TensouSentaiGoseiger''.

** The first episode of the second season opens on the theme song of the Weather Three, Sunred's old team. It's strangely reminiscent of ''TaiyouSentaiSunVulcan'' and, of course, nothing like the actual show.

Yamada is now the bungling professor in ''TensouSentaiGoseiger''.

* TradingCardLame -- Some eyecatches include images of "Heroes Attack" cards featuring Sunred and Vamp. The cards are actually a CaptainErsatz version of the real-world ''SuperSentai'' trading card game, Rangers Strike.

* NotSoHarmless -- Florsheim is made to look weak [[spoiler:until a rival villain group steps on their territory. They ''are'' strong, just weaker than Sunred]].

** This is subverted half way through the first season when Sunred convinces the new villain Devil Eye that in order to become his new archenemy he has to kill his first archenemy: Vamp of Florsheim. When Kayoko learns of this, she is quick to think that Vamp and the rest of Florsheim are in danger until [[spoiler:Sunred reveals that Florsheim isn't weak; he's just much too strong for them. Cue to Armor Tiger thoroughly kicking Devil Eye and his minions' asses [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotHeinous while Vamp berates them about their manners]].]]

* ExcitedEpisodeTitle -- Most segments have titles that wouldn't be out of place in a henshin hero series.

* CutenessProximity -- Almost anyone when they get near the Animal Soldiers. Special mention goes to Reiji, a stuffed dog who's the intersection of this and the {{Casanova}} as the best selling host of a club.

* FakeOutOpening -- Episode 26 opens on what the epic finale of an actual Sentai series would be like, complete with hordes of revived monsters, dramatic usage of Firebird Form, and a giant General Vamp. [[DaydreamSurprise It's all in Vamp's head]].

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome? -- General Hengel, a leader of a branch of Florsheim, takes even the most mundane tasks on with an incredible seriousness.
* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotHeinous? -- A recurring segment in the second season is "The Rules of Florsheim", where General Vamp berates his minions...on what food and home cleaning products they buy for HQ.
** On two occasions, Sunred has gotten ''very'' upset when Florsheim attacked him on New Year's Day -- with a monster who represents the ''previous'' year in the Chinese zodiac.
