History YMMV / SamuraiFlamenco

** Totsuka best boy [[labelnote:Explanation]]Totsuka (Goto's partner at the police station) is very popular despite barely appearing in the show at all, on accounts on being, according to fans, very GenreSavvy and "seeing the gay end coming from Episode 1"... only based on his face when Masayoshi visited Goto at the station.[[/labelnote]]

** Midorikawa and Mizuki are widely liked despite their OutOfFocus status in their respective groups.

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: Althought the series started quite normally, the genre shifts, and the large amount of twists are making more than one person wonder what is the staff thinking.

* AngstWhatAngst: [[spoiler:Appears to be lampshaded. Society isn't worried about the monsters. They simply rely on the police. Samurai Flamenco and his sidekicks are actually happier than ever.]]
* AntiClimaxBoss: [[spoiler:Most of King Torture's monsters. Hazama gave more effort when confronting thugs. Then again, this could be on purpose]]

** [[spoiler:All those moments in which Goto argues he already has a girlfriend (such as rejecting Mari or her thinking Goto and Masayoshi are an item) aren't so funny after TheReveal that Goto was deluding himself.]]
* HarsherInHindsight: Two days after the revelation of [[spoiler: Goto's girlfriend who went missing without a lead, flight [=MH370=] suddenly disappeared and, as of now, any signs or remains of the plane still haven't been found.]]

** [[spoiler: While Guillotine Gorilla was treated with the utmost seriousness, the monsters the gang eventually start fighting become just as silly as those you'd see in a cheesy toku show. The minions even have shibari-style ropes on their outfits.]]

** ProperlyParanoid[=/=]IKnewIt: [[spoiler: Many people called the AlienInvasion twist several weeks before it happened.]]

* SignatureScene: [[spoiler:Guillotine Gorilla's appearance]] at the end of episode 7.

* TakeThatScrappy: [[spoiler:For people who didn't like Mari episode 10 gave them joy as Torture pulls TheReasonYouSuckSpeech on her.]]

** [[spoiler:In Episode 19, the reveal that Goto has been texting himself all this time. It's absolutely heartbreaking.]]
** [[spoiler:And on the next episode, Masayoshi and Goto having a row, ending with Goto telling Masayoshi to leave and not come back. The look on Masayoshi's face as he is apologizing while running away is painful.]]
*** [[spoiler: And the fact that they ''both'' sounded like they were close to tears during the whole thing only made it worse.]]

* WalkingSpoiler: [[spoiler:King Torture]]

** Many people also called [[spoiler: a Film/FightClub-inspired plot, based on the end of that same episode]]. Next episode proved them right.

* BrokenBase: A lot of viewers, particularly those unfamiliar with the {{Tokusatsu}} and the SuperSentai genres, began to alienate from the series after the GenreShift in episode 7 onwards which some calling it an AssPull or "bad writing". However, there are those who still enjoy it, particularly those who are {{Tokusatsu}} fans.

* HarsherInHindsight: Two days after the revelation of [[spoiler: Goto's girlfriend who went missing without a lead, flight [=MH370=] suddenly disappeared and, as of now, any sign or remains of it have yet to be found.]]

* HarsherInHindsight: Two days after the revelation of [[spoiler: Goto's girlfriend who went missing without a lead, flight MH370 suddenly disappeared and, as of now, any sign or remains of it have yet to be found.]]

** Episode 17 will remind a lot of people to the action game ''MetalGearRisingRevengeance'' when [[spoiler:the hero faces a member of the politics who has super powers.]]

** Go to any forum/board, and ask whether [[spoiler: Masayoshi and Goto are an item by the end (or whether Masayoshi's proposal was made out of romantic love, for starters)]]. Sit back, grab a drink, and watch the rabid discussion ensue.

* {{Narm}}: [[spoiler: While Guillotine Gorilla was treated with the utmost seriousness, the monsters the gang eventually start fighting become just as silly as those you'd see in a cheesy toku show. The minions even have shibari-style ropes on their outfits.]]

* BaseBreaker: [[spoiler: Mari]] became this after her debut as Flamenco Girl, due to her brash personality, [[MoreDeadlyThanTheMale greater reliance on violence]] than Masayoshi, and the perception that she [[SpotlightStealingSquad stole screentime]] from Masayoshi and Goto. Also she tried to charm Goto by sexual appeal and she seemingly wanted to become a hero purely for fun instead of helping someone in need. The trouble seems to have died down after [[spoiler: she was called out on her violence and acknowledged that she and Samurai Flamenco have different working styles]], but she's still a controversial character.
** Despite her character development she's still pretty well disliked in the fandom for her treatment of Moe and the way she reacted to Goto's girlfriend.

* SoBadItsGood: Though probably a milder example compared to others.

* SignatureScene: Guillotine Gorilla's appearance.

** HOMO END CONFIRMED[[labelnote:Explanation]]The Ho Yay in this whow is rather rampant.[[/labelnote]]

** HOMO END CONFIRMED

** [[spoiler:And on the next episode, Masayoshi and Goto having a row, ending with Goto telling Masayoshi to leave and not coming back. The look on Masayoshi's face as he is apologizing while running away is painful.]]

* TearJerker: [[spoiler:In Episode 19, the reveal that Goto has been texting himself all this time. It's absolutely heartbreaking.]]

** The whole thing that Goto [[has been texting to himself in place of his possibly dead girlfriend]] is really sad. On the other hand, [[SkewedPriorities Goto's phone and truck scene near the end of episode 10 just became a lot more funny (and weirder)]].
