History Series / ChoushinseiFlashman

* RaceAgainstTheClock: The final episode. The Flashmen have only 10 hours left to destroy what's left of Mess [[spoiler:and get the hell out of Earth before they die of the Anti-Flash Phenomenon.]] Every break in the action comes with a chiron saying how long they have left.

* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler: The Flash King is crippled when one of a pair of monsters blew up on it after being dealt the death blow; this necessitated the need to get Great Titan. [[UnexplainedRecovery It does get better a few episodes later.]]]]

* [[spoiler: YouCantGoHomeAgain: As the team finds out about halfway through when it turns out being away from the Flash system is killing them.]]

** TheChick: Lou

* EenieMeenieMinyMoai: In episodes 30 and 39, Nefel uses illusions that make the Zolors turn into stone Moai heads.

** Following the example of the previous [[Series/ChoudenshiBioman two]] [[Series/DengekiSentaiChangeman series]], the female Rangers suit have LeotardOfPower design rather than skirt or MinidressOfPower like most other female Rangers. This design won't be seen in ''Super Sentai'' until the appearance of [[Series/KikaiSentaiZenkaiger Zenkai Magine]], more than three decades later.
