* CallingYourAttacks:

to:

* CallingYourAttacks: AntlionMonster: The Monster of the Week in episode 25.
* AnyoneCanDie: Let it be on random innocents indiscriminately (via destroyed buildings/property) or just at least one to a few victims of the episode. There are a few episodes that avoid innocents being casualties though.
* BadassCape: The main four; most prominently seen on Big One.
* BarehandedBladeBlock: Happens a couple times.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: A tiny amount of the Crime Bosses shown are known ones of the episode's victim(s) yet display zero hesitation in siding with CRIME for their schemes or selfish wants against said victims.
* ButNotTooForeign: Karen.
* ButtMonkey: Tamasaburou Hime, in spades, whether it him being pushed/carried out of base for being "annoying" to the heroes or being a victim to one of the monsters.
* CardCarryingVillain: The villains are ''called'' CRIME, what more do you want?
* CatchPhrase: Karen has one: Do you want another?[[note]]Mo hitotsu, ikaga desu ka?[[/note]]
* ColorCodedCharacters: Although they don't use color-based codenames (instead using a different playing card suit as the head word and a rank as the tail), the original four members of J.A.K.Q. wear the same colors as their predecessors in Goranger, minus yellow since they're one member short (although their commander Joker does wear a yellow military jacket and hat). Big One on the other hand wears primarily white and is even nicknamed the "white birdman", but he's really more of a Rainbow Ranger, both literally (due to the four-color symbol on his helmet and chest) and figuratively (he is powered by the same four energies that each of the other members possess individually).

* DefeatEqualsExplosion: Played straight for Crime's monsters.

to:

* DarkerAndEdgier: ''JAKQ'' tried to be this to distinguish itself from ''Goranger'', until ExecutiveMeddling ordered the show to lighten up.
** The reason for this however was because the darker nature was driving away viewers, once again proving that sometimes Administrivia/TropesAreNotGood.
* DeathByIrony:
** Some of the Crime Bosses that die end up in this predicament. For example, in episode 16 where one gets hit by an atomic baseball that he tried on the baseball league and explodes like a regular monster.
** In its later uses, the Big Bomber missile, much like the [[Series/HimitsuSentaiGoranger Goranger Hurricane]] before it, changed into an item to match the Invader Robot (e.g. a web to ensare a spider monster).
* DefeatEqualsExplosion: Played straight for Crime's monsters.monsters explode after being defeated by JAKQ.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: No giant robot yet and the initial roster consists of four members instead of the usual {{five|ManBand}} (or [[PowerTrio three]] for that matter). When Big One joins, he takes over the team's leadership from Spade Ace, subverting the franchise's tradition of having the red ranger as the lead character. Additionally, instead of using [[TransformationTrinket transformation devices]], the team must enter the "Strengthening Capsule" booths to have their transformations applied.
* ElementalPowers: The four energies used by the team are based on the four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism (in this case split into electricity and magnetism), and the weak/strong nuclear forces are loosely represented by atomic energy.



* FishingForSole: Happens at the end of episode 18.
* ForcedIntoEvil: [[DeconstructedTrope A rather complex deconsturction]]. Episode 10's Crime Boss forces a secretary against her will to be his assistant after his Crimers shoot her previous boss. Later in the episode shows her going along with his scheme and being actively villainous without the previous hesitation she had when first threatened.

* HomeBase: J.A.K.Q. HQ

to:

* HomeBase: J.A.K.Q. HQHQ serves as the team's main home.



* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: The Crime Boss from episode 5, to a surprisingly [[TheSociopath sociopathic]] degree. He forces Junko Koyama as his spy to perform his scheme, even keeping her father captive as insurance. He even disguises himself as Junko's "grandfather" to prevent ISSIS from noticing him, all in a smug manner when discussing with Junko of her father's fate. His ultimate act of malice involves a deception insuring that Junko gets her father back and once the chicanery is revealed, the Crime Boss reveals the actual professor while having his Crimers shoot Junko, with Ace being too late to save her. Sakurai then goes on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge against him and his men to save the professor.
* {{Kiai}}: The Crimers have a distinctive "kwee" sound.
** And ''JAKQ vs. Goranger'' has them teaming up with [[Series/HimitsuSentaiGoranger Goranger]]'s {{mooks}}, the hoi-ing Zolders.



** Suit-wise, Spade Ace stands out among the original four. While the other three's helmets are white, with the visors matching the colors of their suits (although Dia Jack's is more purple than blue, while Heart Queen is cherry red), Spade Ace wears a red helmet with a blue visor (which is probably why Dia Jack's visor is purple).

* TheVerse:
** The ''JAKQ vs. Goranger'' movie shows that not only does Goranger exist in the same world as JAKQ, but so do ''Series/KamenRiderV3'', ''Series/KamenRiderAmazon'' and ''Series/{{Kikaider}}''.
** ''Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger'' puts all 34 previous Super Sentai shows into a single verse, from ''Goranger'' to ''Series/TensouSentaiGoseiger''.
** ''Franchise/KamenRider'' and ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' are set to cross over again in Gokaiger, and ''Let's Go, Kamen Riders'' reinforces ''Kikaider'' (Along with ''Inazuman'' and ''Zubat'') being in the same verse as ''Franchise/KamenRider,'' and there's not even a ''Series/KamenRiderDecade''-style dimension jump to say that they're ''normally'' separate. The connections are definitely, unambiguously established now.
* VerySpecialEpisode: Of sorts, episode 3 had a drug-addicted character played by the then-unknown Kenji Ōba and his sister as part of it's plot.

Added DiffLines:

* AnyoneCanDie: Let it be on random innocents indiscriminately (via destroyed buildings/property) or just at least one to a few victims of the episode. There are a few episodes that avoid innocents being casualties though.


Added DiffLines:

* BitchInSheepsClothing: A tiny amount of the Crime Bosses shown are known ones of the episode's victim(s) yet display zero hesitation in siding with CRIME for their schemes or selfish wants against said victims.


Added DiffLines:

* ButtMonkey: Tamasaburou Hime, in spades, whether it him being pushed/carried out of base for being "annoying" to the heroes or being a victim to one of the monsters.


Added DiffLines:

* CreepyDoll: Episode 13 features [[PerversePuppet a doll with a knife that kills]] a certain fashion designer, which ends up being the episode's case. The heroes eventually find out that there are certain remote mechanics that trigger the dolls murder activation and towards the end of the episode, Jan Muto (the episode's Crime Boss) and (possibly) his model/assistant Reika get executed by the same doll.


Added DiffLines:

* DeathByIrony: Some of the Crime Bosses that die end up in this predicament. For example, in episode 16 where one gets hit by an atomic baseball that he tried on the baseball league and explodes like a regular monster.


Added DiffLines:

* ForcedIntoEvil: [[DeconstructedTrope A rather complex deconsturction]]. Episode 10's Crime Boss forces a secretary against her will to be his assistant after his Crimers shoot her previous boss. Later in the episode shows her going along with his scheme and being actively villainous without the previous hesitation she had when first threatened.


Added DiffLines:

* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: The Crime Boss from episode 5, to a surprisingly [[TheSociopath sociopathic]] degree. He forces Junko Koyama as his spy to perform his scheme, even keeping her father captive as insurance. He even disguises himself as Junko's "grandfather" to prevent ISSIS from noticing him, all in a smug manner when discussing with Junko of her father's fate. His ultimate act of malice involves a deception insuring that Junko gets her father back and once the chicanery is revealed, the Crime Boss reveals the actual professor while having his Crimers shoot Junko, with Ace being too late to save her. Sakurai then goes on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge against him and his men to save the professor.
