** Episode 14's very style was done as a shout out to ''Series/GekisouSentaiCarranger'' complete with several ComicallyMissingThePoint, BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine gags, the LargeHam and others to name a few, but the Coup de Grace was when the Gokaiger decide to honor their guest and accidentally transformed into [[Series/PowerRangersTurbo Turbo]]ranger, only to be corrected Kyosuke Jinnai[[note]]The star of Carranger[[/note]] and finally get the change right.

* InstantExpert: As it turns out, the Gokaigers have never heard of the "Super Sentai" or the respective teams and yet they know exactly how each one works when they change into them. However, given there's no sure amount of time between when the Rangers got their powers and when they get to Eart, it can be assumed that they practiced with them and the computer on the ship might've had an encyclopedia on the powers, given [[FridgeLogic it was created and owned by Aka Red before Marvelous and co]].

* InstantExpert: As it turns out, the Gokaigers have never heard of the "Super Sentai" or the respective teams and yet they know exactly how each one works when they change into them.

* FakeShemp: During the Legendary War in the first episode, all of the Rangers appear in-suit only and only Aka-Ranger is voiced by his original actor. A remade version of the same scene in ''199 Heroes'' has most of the past Rangers being voiced by their returning actors who appeared in the movie. Ki-Renger, whose original actor died in 1978, was voiced by Creator/TomokazuSeki instead.

* ''Ten Gokaiger'', a ten-year anniversary V-Cinext special that also marks Super Sentai's 45th anniversary. ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBM-sRWyP5E Trailer]])

*** Also, [[WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld school]] can be fun if you give it the chance.

* ListSong: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ors9QuebHN0&feature=channel_video_title The ending theme]] is pretty much a Sentai [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Pokérap]].

* NotSoDifferent: Gai and Don in #19.

* IronicEcho: In #47, [[spoiler:Basco tells Sally that the explosive necklace is a good luck charm and it'll protect her]]. In #48, [[spoiler:a charm from the necklace acts as a PocketProtector, saving Marvelous' life]]. Highlighted by [[spoiler:Basco]] flashing back to the earlier scene before delivering some FamousLastWords ("I see. So that's how it is.") and keeling over.

* FamousLastWords:
** "I only joined Gaiark because I liked the name!" - Disruption Officer Chirakashizky (MOTW of #35)
** "I see. So that's how it is." - [[spoiler:Basco ta Jolokia]]
** "Damn you, space pirates!" - [[spoiler:Ackdos Gill]]

* WeaponOfChoice: The Gokaigers (minus Gai) don't have unique weapons[[note]]a first since ''Series/ChoujinSentaiJetman''[[/note]], all using [[SwordAndGun Swords and Guns]], while also having unique fighting styles. Though because they do have the power to transform into past Sentai teams, they can use their weapons.

* TransformingMecha: The giant Sgormins can turn into jet fighters and motorcycles. Gokai Silver's [=GoJyuJin=] can transform between a HumongousMecha, a TyrannosaurusRex, and a DrillTank.

** The exceptions were Gekiranger in #7, where only standard fight music plays, Jetman in #28, where the music played for the first formation of Hurricane [=GokaiOh=] is used ([[ThemeTuneCameo Gai Ikari does sing the first few notes of the Jetman theme in the episode]], though) and Battle Fever in #44, where the instrumental version of the Gokaiger's insert song, "Gokai Zenkai Dash", plays instead (although the ''Battle Fever J'' theme was played in ''Flying Ghost Ship'' when the Gokaigers changed into them).

* MaliciousMisnaming: Basco likes to taunt Captain Marvelous by calling him "Marv".
