* '''The Big Three:''' Gear's [[CoDragons three]] [[TheDragon generals]]
** Mason: The leader of the three.

* '''Beastnoids:''' [[QuirkyMinibossSquad The Quirky Miniboss Squad]].
** Beast King: Monster's loyal sidekick who, much like his master, is a DumbMuscle.
** Psygorn: A three-faced [[PsychicPowers mentalist]] and frequent favorite of Mason.
** Metzler: A CyberCyclops used for espionage, much like his frequent patron, Farrah.
** Messerbeast: A WingedHumanoid and the first of the five to see combat, [[spoiler: and one of the first to go.]]
** Aquaiger: A fishman robot [[spoiler: who bites it along with Messerbeast.]]

!!'''Recurring''' SuperSentai tropes:

* AllYourPowersCombined: A few of the team attacks involve this.
* BossSubtitles: Introduced this trope to ''Super Sentai''.
* ByThePowerOfGreyskull: "Bioman!"; or, their individual names.
* CallingYourAttacks
* ColorCodedCharacters: The codename pattern consists of using each member's color as the head word and a corresponding number as the tail. This is the number in which the team, in their original composition, first transformed.
* CoolAirship: The Bio Dragon
* CoolBike: Red One's Bio Mach I and Yellow Four's Bio Mach II
* CoolCar: The Bio Turbo driven by Green Two.
* CustomUniform: Yellow Four and Pink Five wear [[PantyShot panties]] molded into their suits. This also happened with the respective female duos from the [[DengekiSentaiChangeman next]] [[ChoushinseiFlashman two]] Sentai teams.
* EyeCatch: The eyecatch features a normal version of Red One and small versions of (Clockwise from bottom left) Blue Three that seems to be sliding from Red One's right shoulder, Pink Five that seems to be performing a superkick, Green Two who seems to be levitating from Red One's left shoulder and Yellow Four. The title card is also seen in the bottom right of the screen. After the break, Bio Robo is shown who seems to be running and holding the bio sword. The Title Card can be seen on the bottom left of the screen.
* FinishingMove: The Biomen and [=BioRobo=] have a plethora of them.
** [=BioRobo=] actually had the largest number of individual sword finishers of any Sentai mecha.
* FiveManBand: Available in two configurations.
** (Episodes 1-10)
*** TheLeader: Shirō
*** [[TheBigGuy The Big]] [[TheSmartGuy Smart Guy]]: Shingo
*** KidAppealCharacter: Ryūta [[hottip:*:He's quite skilled in stealth, despite being the PluckyComicRelief.]]
*** TheLancer: Mika
*** TheChick: Hikaru
** (Episodes 11-51)
*** TheLeader: Shirō
*** [[TheSmartGuy The Smart]] [[TheLancer Lancer]]: Shingo
*** KidAppealCharacter: Ryūta
*** [[TheBigGuy The Big Girl]]: Jun
*** TheChick: Hikaru
** TeamPet: Peebo, who is also TheMentor
** SixthRanger: Subverted; OneShotCharacter Shōta Yamamori doesn't stick around despite debuting in an episode titled "The Sixth Man", and even pretending to join in the group henshin. [[hottip:*:When he does transform into the Magne Senshi during the following episode, he's BrainwashedAndCrazy by Gear.]]
* HomeBase
* HumongousMecha: The mecha components were reduced to just two this time and both were shared between different members of the team.
** CombiningMecha: Bio Jet 1 (Red and Pink) + Bio Jet 2 (the rest) = Bio Robo
* InTheNameOfTheMoon: The individual names, followed by "One! Two! Three! Four! Five! [=ChouDenshi Bioman!=].
* LawOfChromaticSuperiority: Shirō can understand animals, but nobody else is shown to have unmorphed powers.
* MakeMyMonsterGrow: Absent. Gear has five human-sized monsters called the Junoids, which they use over and over and a different giant mecha in each episode. As this prevented the giant monsters from getting much screentime (and thus Toei from getting much of a return on investment), this approach has pretty much stayed unique to ''Bioman''.
* {{Mook}}s: Mechaclones.
* MonsterOfTheWeek: Giant robots known as "Mecha Gigants". From Episode 31 and onward, they're replaced by a series of newer models known as "Neo Mecha Gigants". The newer robots are also unique in that they're piloted by a member of Big Three, while the previous generation of robots (usually) weren't piloted.
* TheMovie: Takes place sometime after Episode 11 (after Jun Yabuki joins the team), but before Episode 31 (while all five Junoids are still alive).
* OnTheNextEpisodeOfCatchPhrase:
* RegularCaller:
* RobotBuddy: Peebo, again.
* SupervillainLair: The Neograd fortress at the South Pole
* ThemeMusicPowerUp:
* TransformationTrinket: Techno Braces
* TwoGirlsToATeam: Introduced this trope to SuperSentai with the inclusion of Yellow Four and Pink Five. This helped codify yellow as a gender-neutral color that can be worm by both male and female rangers, and established Yellow and Pink as the standard colors for a female duo.
* WeaponOfChoice
** SwissArmyWeapon: The Bio Swords. [[note]][[{{Handguns}} Gun]] and [[CoolSword Blade]] modes.[[/note]] Each Bioman has a unique blade mode as well. [[hottip:*:Fire Sword for Red One, Hurricane Sword for Green Two, Elec Sword for Blue Three, Thunder Sword for Yellow Four, and Laser Sword for Pink Five]]
** Shingo: [[PrecisionGuidedBoomerang Green Bomerang]]
** Jun: [[TheStraightAndArrowPath Yellow Arrow]], which can enlarge into the [[{{BFG}} Bio Big Arrow]] for a FinishingMove.

!!Tropes specific to ChoudenshiBioman

* BattleCry: Gear personnel shout "For [[TheMan the Man]]!"
* DeathByFallingOver: Farrah, after receiving heavy damage, made it back to base before falling down the stairs and exploding.
* ElementalPowers: The Biomen's swords are powered by this.
** PlayingWithFire: Shirō's Fire Sword.
** BlowYouAway: Shingo's Hurricane Sword.
** ShockAndAwe: Ryūta's Elec Sword and Mika/Jun's Thunder Sword.
** HolyHandGrenade: Hikaru's Laser Sword.
* FakeShemp: For Mika's last episode, her voice was dubbed over by an uncredited MayumiTanaka as Yuki Yajima had only completed [=ADR=] for the first nine episodes.
* ForgottenFallenFriend: Mika is never mentioned after her death (save for one time in Episode 37, and even then they only mention her by her codename) and it seems as if Jun has always been Yellow Four instead. Although this is understandable, considering Yuki Yajima's abrupt departure from the series.
* FourIsDeath: The first Yellow Four, who was killed off after her actress left the set.
* HeroKiller: Silva, which leads to...
** HeroicBSOD: Peebo is ''terrified'' of Silva when he first appears, running away and getting as close to a fetal position as he can. (He recovers enough by the end of the episode to assists the team. From a distance.)
* IdenticalGrandson: The ancestors of the team who were showered with the Bio-Particles are played by the same actors as their descendants. This became a bit problematic for the show's creators once Mika was replaced with Jun, which is probably why the ancestors were never shown again and the repeated showings of the first flashback were often edited to leave out Mika's ancestor.
* InfiniteSupplies: How the Biomen can live without jobs.
* JumpedAtTheCall: A little subversion. At first, Shirou, Shingo, Ryuuta, Mika and Hikaru didn't quite buy Peebo's story, until Gear attacks and forces them to morph and eventually accept their duty... [[RefusalOfTheCall except Mika who went away]], only to eventually rejoin next episode.
* KickTheDog: Did you have to go and ''blow up Red One's bird?'' (However, it was less ForTheEvulz and because of the chance of Red One using his Dr. Doolittle skills to ask the bird about the evil plan du jour.)
* LoveTriangle: Mason, Farrah and Monster
* {{McLeaned}}: The death of Mika is a text-book example of this, due to the actress' sudden departure.
* MidSeasonUpgrade: Gear switches to stronger robot monsters and upgrade the big three, so the Biomen receive an extra-boost in Bio Particles [[hottip:*:resulting in them and the Bio Robo reverting to a singular FinishingMove each]]. The three remaining Beastnoids are also rebuilt into stronger forms.
* NamesTheSame: Shingo Takasugi shares his full name with a character from ''CaptainTsubasa'', who also happens to be a [[TheBigGuy Big Guy]].
* OddlyNamedSequel: The third Sentai season that doesn't use the word "Sentai" in its title, following ''JAKQDengekitai'' and ''BattleFeverJ''.
* PunnyName: Blue Three's name[[hottip:*:ブルー・スリー]] is spelled the same way in Japanese as "BruceLee"[[hottip:*:ブルース・リー]], the only real difference being the placement of the middle dot.
** [[Manga/AzumangaDaioh So where's Blue One and Two?]]
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Yuki Yajima, the actress who played the first Yellow Four, left due to some shady circumstances that even today aren't quite clear. Some claim she had a falling out with J.A.C., the stuntworkers union that Sentai hired most of its early actors from, while fellow cast members believe she eloped with someone. Either way, the actress hasn't been heard from since then.
* ReplacementGoldfish: The Black Prince, a Mecha Clone replica of [[spoiler: Doctor Man's son, Shuichi.]] Subversion: [[spoiler: Shuichi is actually alive.]]
* TheStarscream: [[spoiler: Mason attempted a coup...only to learn Doctor Man was ready for it]]
* SuicideAttack: One episode had Gear use the Mechaclones as walking bombs.
* {{Synchronization}}: One Robot Monster had a counterpart Mechaclone, a MacGuffinGirl named Miki, whose existence allowed him to regenerate damage. [[spoiler:She did a HeroicSacrifice to stop that.]]
* TemporarySubstitute: Episodes 15 and 16 were obviously written with Mika in mind.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Mika, then Jun, and Hikaru.
* UnfriendlyFire: Mason, using Metal Megas, blasts the Biomen ''and'' the five Beastnoids, [[spoiler:which destroys Aquaiger and Messerbeast.]]
* WasOnceAMan/ MeaningfulName: [[spoiler:There's a reason why the villain's named Doctor ''Man.'']]
