History Series / DenjiSentaiMegaranger

** Miku has a famous one in episode 50.
** Shibolena's can be seen a lot. This is actually lampshaded by Yuusaku in Episode 36: after being captured by Condor Nezilar, he is tied down and Shibolena stands over him at one point. This exchange follows:

* ParentalAbandonment: [[spoiler:Dr. Hinelar is Shibolena's father, but her mother never appears]].

* RocketPunch: Super Galaxy Mega's finishing blow, the Super Galaxy Knuckles. It launches its forearms as rockets, which then blaze into the Nezire Beast as impale them through before returning to the mecha itself.

* TakingTheBullet: [[spoiler: After Yugande's power is reduced and he is about to be killed by [=MegaRed=]'s Drill Saber, Shibolena runs in to take the damage instead, at the cost of her beong mortally wounded. It's a SenselessSacrifice, however. Yugande blindly attacks Mega Red and is then slain. Shibolena dies soon after.]]

Kenta Date is a high-school underachiever who enjoys two things: eating yakiniku and playing the "Megaranger" arcade video game. One day, a couple of recruiters show up. It turns out that the Megaranger game is really a simulation intended to recruit people to become ''actual'' Megarangers. Kenta is the first person to be good enough at the game to be recruited. While [[{{Mentors}} Dr. Kubota]] tries to talk Kenta into accepting, the Earth is invaded by Nejiregia, [[AlienInvasion invaders from the Twisted Dimension]]. Due to the emergency, the Megaranger gear is given to Kenta and four of his classmates who happened to be in the area. And the battle begins...

* Shibolena: The Dragon. Eventually revealed to be [[spoiler: the {{Cyborg}} version of Hinelar's late daughter, Shizuka]]
* Mobile Commander Yugande: TheBrute, CoDragons with Shiborena, and WorthyOpponent to the Megarangers.

* Guirail: The Evil SixthRanger, TheStarscream, and a BigBadWannabe. Introduced as a third [[TheDragon Dragon]], but has no loyalty to anyone but Javious, which results in him getting into an EnemyCivilWar with the honorable Yugande.

* The Jaden Sentai Neziranger: ThePsychoRangers.

* TheWorfBarrage: When fighting Mad Guirail, the Super Galaxy Mega is given a new uber attack. If anything, it only pisses him off more.

!!The villains (Nejiregia):
* Emperor Javious I: The BiggerBad. Ruler of Nejiregia
* Dr. Hinelar: EvilGenius in charge of the invasion and de facto BigBad.
* Shiborena: The Dragon. Eventually revealed to be [[spoiler: the {{Cyborg}} version of Hinelar's late daughter, Shizuka]]
* Yugande: TheBrute, CoDragons with Shiborena, and WorthyOpponent to the Megarangers.
* Bibidebi: Evil TeamPet. Responsible for making the [[MonsterOfTheWeek Monsters Of The Week]] grow giant.
* Guirail: Evil SixthRanger, TheStarscream, and a BigBadWannabe. Introduced as a third [[TheDragon Dragon]], but has no loyalty to anyone but Javious, which results in him getting into an EnemyCivilWar with the honorable Yugande.

* The Nejirangers: ThePsychoRangers.
** Neji Red: BigBad[[note]]Also another [[TheDragon Dragon]] to Hinelar.[[/note]]
** Neji Black: TheDragon
** Neji Blue: TheBrute
** Neji Yellow: EvilGenius
** Neji Pink: DarkChick
** Neji Silver: SixthRanger[[note]][[SixthRangerTraitor Actually Yuusaku in a Nejiranger costume.]][[/note]]

* AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler: Doctor Hinelar created Shibolena as a ReplacementGoldfish for his daughter Shizuka to ease the pain of her loss. Subverted in that it was a loss that he himself caused.]]
** [[spoiler:Even more sad as Shibolena's body exploded before his eyes. He grieved for the loss of her ''and'' Yugande, and during the final battle, with him the last villain standing, he called for them to watch him the same way the ''heroes'' are more prone to doing when avenging someone who suffered DeathByOriginStory.]]
** You'll feel bad for all of them (except Guirail) by the end, as Yugande [[spoiler: risks using an unstable powerup ''without being asked to'' due to his UndyingLoyalty toward Hinelar]], Shibolena really cares for him and [[spoiler: takes a fatal blow to save him. However, ''he's so enraged at her injury'' that he attacks the Rangers again though he's no longer in any condition to and that's what leads to his death. ''Then'' we have Shibolena's last words before she dies, saying she wishes she could have stayed by Dr. Hinelar's side forever. ''Then'' he has to watch his daughter die ''again.'']] By the end when Hinelar has [[spoiler: lost everyone he cares about and finds his body is twisting upon itself due to his time in the Twisted Dimension]], it's no wonder he tries to pull a TakingYouWithMe. He really has nothing left. And on top of this, It's not (necessarily) like [[spoiler: Samejima]] ''asked'' to be [[spoiler: warped into an evil madman in the first place. Entering the Twisted Dimension was an ill-advised experiment but nothing evil...at least not in or of itself (after all, it's implied that he may have been a madman of sorts in the first place).]]

* EvilWillFail: [[spoiler:Hinelar successfully used the Nejirangers to kill Javious and take over Nejirejia. Unfortunately for him, it turns out the Nejirejia's home dimension was an extension of Javious, and anyone whose spends a notable amount of time in said dimension will eventually have their bodies collapse on themselves if they spend too much time away from it. Hinelar is unable to circumvent this and ends up dying of it after his final attack, having failed to take the Megarangers with him and with Shibolena and Yugande already dead .]]

* FiveManBand: Kenta is TheHero, Koichirou is TheBigGuy and TheLeader[[note]]Mega Black's description is [[MightyGlacier "Powerful, but rather slow".]][[/note]], Shun is TheSmartGuy and TheLancer, Chisato is TheHeart, Miku is TheChick, and Yuusaku is the SixthRanger.

* KingMook: The MonsterOfTheWeek in one episode was Boss Kunekune, identical to the other {{Mooks}} except for a black head and PsychicPowers. His idea of MakeMyMonsterGrow was having his flunkies pile on top of him, forming a giant mass of Kunekune the Rangers had to call in their mecha to deal with.

* MonsterOfTheWeek: The animal-like Nejire Beasts, later upgraded into the more robotic Psycho-Nejilars.

** Yugande gets one in the finale, called Burning Yugande, in which he literally TurnsRed. This upgrade increases his power, uses it up more almost immediately, causing him to die.

* TransformationTrinket: A trope applying to all Super Sentai, but notable here in that Yusaku's TransformationTrinket is the very first use of a cell phone as such in Super Sentai, which has since become ubiquitous to the point of absurdity. Justified here given that the show's entire theme is digital technology; later sentai completely lack any justification for their nature or magic based heroes using phones in defiance of their themes without even a HandWave.

* TwoGirlsToATeam: The seventh Yellow and Pink duo and the third one in a row. This was the last Sentai team with two female rangers at the same time for the next '''six years'''.

** Episode 37 features a comical canary monster stealing Chisato's voice, causing her to sound like an old man. This episode is featured before the appearance of the Nejirangers and with it the start of Dr. Hinelar's endgame.
* CatchPhrase: "Game Over!", said before destroying the MonsterOfTheWeek with Galaxy Mega. Dropped when they switch to Mega Voyager.
* ChildSoldiers: How Professor Kubota views the Megarangers, since he never meant to recruit high school students in the first place (the Nejirejia's invasion left him with no choice). In some episodes, he blames himself for the situations they get into.

** In a sense. The Galaxy Mega has the second-highest number of [[FinishingMove sword finishers]] in Sentai history, losing only to the semi-sentient [[Series/ChoudenshiBioman Bio Robo]].

* CoolTeacher: Ken Ooiwa. While he first appears to be a slacker, who rather stays in bed than teach his students, he certainly cares for them and gives good advice about how to face life's problems. What really cements him as cool, is his attitude when faced by a MonsterOfTheWeek. Said monster wanted to have a precious meteorite Ooiwa had in his possession, resulting in Ooiwa eating it to prevent said thing from happening. He is also one of the few teachers voluntarily staying at school after many other teachers left due to Nejirejias more aggressive attacks. His reasoning was that there should always be someone looking out for the students still wanting to stay. [[spoiler:After Nejirejia managed to turn almost the whole school against the Megarangers by revealing their identities, Ooiwa is the only teacher maintaining his trust in the team and even managed to rally his class to cheer for the Megaranger.]]

* CreepyCentipedes: Centipede Nejire is not only creepy but is rather formidable foe as well. Thank to its "SummonMagic" and that Delta Mega being "mind-controlled".
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: The pig monster form ep. 29. He's goofy as all heck, but he still dominates the rangers in every straight fight.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Especially in comparison to its predecessor Carranger. Two episodes deal with the Megarangers befriending a member of Nejiregia only to watch them killed in front of them. [[spoiler:Then towards the end, Nejiregia exposes the Megarangers' identities which leads to their school and the entire town turning on them.]]
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The first couple episodes have the Megarangers bringing the Nezire monsters into some weird virtual reality alternate dimension in order to defeat them.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: The last arc, in general. [[spoiler:The Nejiregia managed to expose the Megarangers' identity to the school, and this in turn causes ''everyone'' to drive the Megarangers away from their school, even if they're model students like Kouichirou or not-so-[[InsufferableGenius insufferable geniuses]] like Shun, and everyone lost their will to fight on. But the Nejiregia still continued their assault to humanity, so the Megarangers pick up their resolve to fight on, save mankind and in the same process, restore their reputation that they're not bad students, but fighting to save their asses. It ''works'' and they're welcomed back, and able to graduate.]]
* EasyAmnesia: Happens to Shun in episode 30.
* EggMcGuffin: Komutan.

* ElementalPowers: The Nejiranger's true forms each have one. Neji Red/Neji Phantom has PlayingWithFire, Neji Black/Neji Vulgar has DishingOutDirt, Neji Blue/Neji Bizzare is AnIcePerson, Neji Yellow/Neji Sophia [[note]][[BeeBeeGun sort of]][[/note]] has BlowYouAway, and Neji Pink/Neji Jealous has GreenThumb.
* EliteMook: Boss Kunekune, a MonsterOfTheWeek in episode 14.
* EnemyCivilWar: Guirail and Yugande clash over Guirail's more underhanded tactics vs. Yugande's more honorable methods. [[spoiler:It hits the fan when Guirail ''severely'' injures Yugande by using him as a HumanShield against the Megarangers. Hinelar then decides to end it by offering Guirail a power-up that's really PsychoSerum that turns Guirail into a mindless OneWingedAngel. Guirail is soon the first to be killed by the Megarangers' MidSeasonUpgrade mecha.]] [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes All those because at least Hinelar form a strong bond/companionship with his creations (Shibolena and Yugande)]] and would take care of them greatly, Guirail does not, so he learns the hard way what happens when some 'newcomer' made not by him tried to double cross his 'family'.

* FairytaleWeddingDress: In episode 16, Miku bought one when she and everyone thought they will die thanks to Poison Moth Nejire. After the plot resolve it was discovered by Chisato who teases her that whom Miku will wear it for.

* GirlishPigtails: Miku. Surprisingly, she lost it when she reappears in ''Gaorangers vs Super Sentai''. Her short hairdo shows that ShesAllGrownUp.

* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: The only Super Sentai series with TwoGirlsToATeam that plays the trope straight: the girls have a slingshot and satellite dish as weapons, while the boys have a drill, rod and tomahawk.
* HighSchool: All the Megarangers except Yuusaku are high-school students.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Dr. Hineler's creations, the Nejirangers, which paved the way for his ambitious utopia Hineler City, [[{{Irony}} ended up being the cause of his ambition being undone]].
* HomeBase: Subverted - Nejirejia destroys INET's Earth base very early on, so for most of the show Megaranger's 120-man strong support team is based aboard the Mega Ship. They're in there during battles as well.

* IronicEcho: Guirail constantly claims that "To defeat Megarangers, we must do whatever it takes." [[spoiler:This is exactly what Hinelar and Shibolena said after the SuperSerum Hinelar gave to Guirail is taking effect and turning him into a mindless berserker at cost of power.]]

* MidSeasonUpgrade: Mega Voyager for the heroes, Yugande's repaired form and the switch to cyborg [[MonsterOfTheWeek Monsters Of The Week]] for the villains.

* MrFanservice: Yusaku can qualify as one.
* MsFanservice: All main female characters.

* OfficialCouple: [[spoiler:Shun & Miku]] and [[spoiler:Koichiro & Chisato]] are both heavily implied. Even [[spoiler:Shibolena & Yugande]] qualify this. This doesn't stop the ShipTease though.
* OlderSidekick: Mega Silver may be the SixthRanger, but ''Yuusaku Hayakawa'' (age 25) is this to the rangers, who are just finishing high school.
* OurDemonsAreDifferent: Bibdebi. His name even come from the word ''devil''(debi in japanese). Dr.Hinelar appearance(specifically, his "horns") is also seem to be inspired by one as well.

** Shibolena's can be seen alot. Lampshaded by Yusaku in episode 36.
---> '''Yusaku''': The view from down here is pretty good too.
---> '''Shibolena''': Really? ''(held her sword)'' [[BerserkButton This will cool you down!]]

** In episode 14, when Kenta is scolding the little children at the arcade, you can blatantly see a ''VideoGame/VirtuaCop 2'' machine in clear sight.

* ThePsychoRangers: The US adaptation of the Nejirangers is the TropeNamer.

** [[spoiler:Shiborena is actually a robot modeled after Dr. Hinelar's dead daughter, Shizuka.]]

* RocketPunch: Super Galaxy Mega's finishing blow.

* SecretIdentity: As they're just highschoolers, the Megarangers keep their identities as secret as possible, not even transforming in front of a MonsterOfTheWeek - a point hammered home by the Nejirangers attacking users of a popular wireless 'net access device, just because it made the same sound as their TransformationTrinket. Yuusaku, on the other hand, has no such reservations, and frequently doesn't bother. Probably because he has no life outside working for INET so there are no consequences for him that the enemy knows he is Megasilver. Near the end of the series Dr. Hinelar does find out who the Rangers are, and sends a monster to attack them at school, leading to them being ostracized and having to live in an old warehouse.

* SomethingAboutARose: One Neji monster was based on a rose, and it turned people into plant people. Turning Chisato's best friend into a plant person and laughing about it in her face [[BerserkButton is not a good idea, as Shibolena found out first hand.]]
* StartOfDarkness: One would think that Dr. Samejima / Hinelar had this when he went to the Nejire dimension. However, it's implied that it may have started long before that; possibly even before [[spoiler:he sacrificed his own daughter for the sake of his experiment.]]

* TakenForGranite: The Ankou[[note]]Anglerfish[[/note]] Nejire Beast had this power.
* TakingTheBullet: [[spoiler: After Yugande's power is reduced and he is almost killed by [=MegaRed=]'s Drill Saber, Shibolena runs in to take the damage instead.]]

* TeethClenchedTeamwork: The Nejirangers do ''not'' get along, even though it's in their best interest to do so.

--->'''Chisato''': ''Now all that's left is a Nejirejia attack to make things worse!''
--->''*Digitizers ring*''
--->'''Whole team''': ''*sigh*''
** Episode 37. Chisato is ''very'' sure that no such things as being hospitalized or being caught by a fever will stop her from entering the class singing contest this year. Guess what happens. [[spoiler:A Nejirejia Beast swapped her voice with a boorish man's voice and this effect stays ''until night'', so she skips the contest again. She still gets to sing for her classmates though.]]

** Keeping with their "twisted" theme, everyone in Nejiregia (including Nejiregia itself) is named after either the Japanese word for "to twist" or a synonym.

* TooLongDidntDub: The "twisted" bit, actually. Fansubbers usually leave the term "nejire"/"nezire" alone, but it does come from a word meaning twisted, and it's used a ''lot'' with no explanation in the dialogue because the target audience tends to know their own word for 'twisted.' When you know this, a lot of things suddenly make ''tons'' more sense. The villains come from the Twisted Dimension. That's why objects spontaneously become warped when a portal opens. That's why [[spoiler: Dr. Samejima went nuts and returned as Dr. Hinelar]]: his mind became ''warped.'' It's also why in the final episodes his body begins to [[spoiler: temporarily distort and then return, and once it gets bad he decides to self-destruct his mecha and take the Rangers with him: his body was beginning to ''twist upon itself'' from being in the Twisted Dimension. He spent the last couple of episodes knowing [[TheLastDance he'd soon be dead]] or [[FateWorseThanDeath worse]].]] It's also why the monsters are hideous even by monster standards and ''always'' have a spiral pattern somewhere: what else do you expect from Twisted Beasts? It's also why the villains' names are mainly puns on different words for twisted (including Hizumina from the Mega/Ginga teamup: even if she's from a different series she's a Dr. Hinelar creation; Hizumu means distort.) However, since they are creations of [[spoiler: a former human rather than true natives of the Twisted Dimension]], the expected spiral pattern is absent from Shibolena and Hizumina; they look human and their outfits better resemble the 'digital' look of the [[spoiler: other human creations such as the Megaranger tech.]]

* [[UngratefulBastard Ungrateful Bastards]]: Pretty much the entire town after Nejirejia exposes the Megarangers' identities. Not only are they kicked out of school, but one woman has the gall to cry for them to save her during an attack only to snap at them afterwards for involving civilians in a fight they didn't even instigate.

* VillainousBreakdown: Neji Blue is particularly fixated on attacking his counterpart. When [[spoiler:''five'' Mega Blues and one Neji Silver]] show up, he attacks his own teammates to get at them.

* WhamEpisode: The very first episode, where NASADA, the traditional Sentai base of this series is destroyed by the Nejirejia, forcing the crew (including Dr. Kubota, and the just-recruited Megarangers) to take the Mega Shuttle to the Mega Ship, which becomes the show's base from that point on.[[note]]Although it was meant to be an unexpected plot twist, North American viewers knew this would happen already, thanks to both the finale of ''Series/PowerRangersTurbo'', and ''Series/PowerRangersInSpace'', which it leads into.[[/note]]

* TheWorfBarrage: When fighting Mad Guirail the Super Galaxy Mega is given a new uber attack. If anything it only pisses him off more.
* TheWormThatWalks: The bad guy for episode 14 is a dark-headed Kunekune. Instead of actually becoming giant a swarm of regular Kunekune soldiers basically latch onto him.
* WouldntHitAGirl: Averted first in episode 50 when [[spoiler:Mega Red kills Shibolena]] and later in ''Series/SeijuuSentaiGingaman vs. Megaranger'', [[spoiler:where he kills Hizumina]].
* XanatosGambit: Dr. Hinelar pulls off one of these late in the series, when [[spoiler:he decides that he wants to be the actual leader of Nejiregia, not just the de facto one. Thus, he creates the Nejirangers, secretly using Javious' life force as their power source. He knows full well the Megarangers will eventually kill the Nejirangers, so he made sure that when the Nejirangers die, the backlash kills Javious too. Hinelar succeeds, becoming the new BigBad. Until then, he had PsychoRangers working for him.]]

* Guirail: Evil SixthRanger, TheStarscream, and a BigBadWannabe. Introduced as a third [[TheDragon Dragon]], but has no loyalty to anyone or anything, which results in him getting into an EnemyCivilWar with the honorable Yugande.
* [[spoiler:Hizumina]]: [[spoiler:Technically another SixthRanger that appear in Megaranger vs Gingaman. Shibolena's PaletteSwap that attempt to [[AvengingTheVillain destroy the Megaranger for Dr.Hinelar.]]]]

* YouFailTheIQTest: In one episode Miku evolves into a genius with an IQ of 800.

* Yugande: TheBrute and WorthyOpponent to the Megarangers.

* Guirail: Evil SixthRanger, TheStarscream, and a BigBadWannabe. Introduced as a second [[TheDragon Dragon]], but has no loyalty to anyone or anything, which results in him getting into an EnemyCivilWar with the honorable Yugande.

* IdiotHero: Megaranger began this trope in Sentai. It's now used at least every other series, but Megaranger is one of the only ones to actually justify it with ObfuscatingStupidity.

* LateArrivalSpoiler: Only for North American viewers who had already seen ''Series/PowerRangersInSpace'' (and by extension, the finale of ''Series/PowerRangersTurbo''). NASADA in this series is the traditional Sentai base[[note]]As opposed to the Power Rangers version, which is an actual {{Expy}} of NASA.[[/note]], which is [[spoiler:destroyed by the Nejirejia in the first episode, forcing everyone to take the Mega Shuttle to the Mega Ship, which becomes the show's base from that point onward.[[/note]]

* CoolOldGuy: Professor Kubota, the mentor of the team, is this. His trust in the Megaranger team is unwavering, despite them being high school students and he is certainly not afraid to enter the battlefield himself should the need arise.

* Yuusaku Hayakawa / '''Mega Silver''': SixthRanger. His powers have a WeaksauceWeakness time limit [[spoiler:at first]].

* AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler: Doctor Hinelar created Shibolena as a ReplacementGoldfish for his daughter Shizuka to ease the pain of her loss.]]

** You'll feel bad for all of them (except Guirail) by the end, as Yugande [[spoiler: risks using an unstable powerup ''without being asked to'' due to his UndyingLoyalty toward Hinelar]], Shibolena really cares for him and [[spoiler: takes a fatal blow to save him. However, ''he's so enraged at her injury'' that he attacks the Rangers again though he's no longer in any condition to and that's what leads to his death. ''Then'' we have Shibolena's last words before she dies, saying she wishes she could have stayed by Dr. Hinelar's side forever.

Entering the Twisted Dimension was an ill-advised experiment but nothing evil.]]

* TRademarkFavoriteFood: Kenta and yakiniku.

* AlasPoorVillain[[spoiler: Doctor Hinelar created Shibolena as a ReplacementGoldfish for his daughter Shizuka to ease the pain of her loss.]]

* CreepyCentipedes: Centipede Nejire is not only creepy but is rather formidable foe as well. Thank to its "SummonMagic" and that Delta Mega being "mind-controled".

* LethaLJokeCharacter: The pig monster form ep. 29. He's goofy as all heck, but he still dominates the rangers in every straight fight.
