54 | ---- |
55 | * AntiClimaxBoss: In many of the older shows, the FinalBattle with the BigBad will ultimately end up just being a slightly more difficult MonsterOfTheWeek fight, as opposed to the NearVillainVictory they tend to get in modern series. |
56 | * ArchivePanic: With just under 1730 episodes plus movies (not included) (as of the start of Gokaiger) and 47-51 more added each year, it's going to take quite a long time to watch them all. |
57 | ** Depending on how long each show is (whether commercials count, theme song, credits) it could take anywhere from 24 days (20 min/episode) to over a month (36 days and 56 minutes at 30 min/episode) if watched continually without stopping. Both numbers use 1730 episodes stated above (still not including movies). |
58 | ** The 1800th episode mark has already hit in episode 21 of ''Go-Busters''. |
59 | ** However, all of this is eased somewhat by the fact that (with a [[Series/TaiyouSentaiSunVulcan few]] [[Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger notable]] [[Series/ShurikenSentaiNinninger exceptions]]) each series in the franchise has a self-contained narrative with separate casts, with almost no connections to any of the other series, allowing you to watch them freely in any order without missing a thing. |
60 | ** The 2000th episode was episode 29 of ''Zyuohger'' in addition to that it was a crossover with ''Gokaiger''. |
61 | * BaseBreakingCharacter: With a franchise this long-lasting, it's inevitable that some of the characters would be base-breaking. Many Rangers are considered to be "mixed bags" by the fanbase for one reason or another. Be it for their excess of energy ([[Series/NinpuuSentaiHurricaneger Yosuke]], [[Series/TokusouSentaiDekaranger Ban]], [[Series/MahouSentaiMagiranger Kai]], [[Series/JukenSentaiGekiranger Jan]], [[Series/EngineSentaiGoOnger Sosuke]]), their excess of cuteness ([[Series/EngineSentaiGoOnger Saki]]), their strangely-unsavoury behavior ([[Series/GoseiSentaiDairanger Kou]]), their sensitivity ([[Series/TensouSentaiGoseiger Alata]], [[Series/ResshaSentaiToQger Right]], [[Series/DoubutsuSentaiZyuohger Misao]]), their lack of intelligence ([[Series/GoGoSentaiBoukenger Natsuki]]), their lack of personality ([[Series/TokumeiSentaiGoBusters Hiromu]], [[Series/ZyudenSentaiKyoryuger Souji]]), their irritating habits ([[Series/ShurikenSentaiNinninger Takaharu]]), or their spotlight-hogging ([[Series/ZyudenSentaiKyoryuger Daigo]], [[Series/UchuSentaiKyuranger Lucky]]). For as many fans who don't like these rangers as much, you'll generally find as many fans who like (or at least tolerate) them. |
62 | * BrokenBase: |
63 | ** Which personality fits the Red better in Sentai, post-''Gaoranger'': Hot-blooded ([[Series/NinpuuSentaiHurricaneger Yosuke]], [[Series/TokusouSentaiDekaranger Banban]], [[Series/MahouSentaiMagiranger Kai]], [[Series/JukenSentaiGekiranger Jan]], [[Series/EngineSentaiGoOnger Sosuke]], [[Series/ZyudenSentaiKyoryuger Daigo]], [[Series/ShurikenSentaiNinninger Takaharu]], [[Series/UchuSentaiKyuranger Lucky]], [[Series/KaitouSentaiLupinrangerVsKeisatsuSentaiPatranger Keiichiro]] and [[Series/KishiryuSentaiRyusoulger Koh]]), sensitive ([[Series/TensouSentaiGoseiger Alata]], [[Series/ResshaSentaiToQger Right]], [[Series/MashinSentaiKiramager Juru]], and [[Series/OhsamaSentaiKingOhger Gira]]), stoic ([[Series/SamuraiSentaiShinkenger Takeru]], [[Series/TokumeiSentaiGoBusters Hiromu]], and [[Series/AvataroSentaiDonbrothers Taro]]) or badass ([[Series/BakuryuuSentaiAbaranger Ryouga]], [[Series/GoGoSentaiBoukenger Akashi]], [[Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger Marvelous]], [[Series/DoubutsuSentaiZyuohger Yamato]], and [[Series/KaitouSentaiLupinrangerVsKeisatsuSentaiPatranger Kairi]])? [[TakeAThirdOption Or is it most interesting to showcase a variety of personalities in the role of leader?]] |
64 | ** Due to Toei's [[FlipFlopOfGod inconsistency of the subject]], you'll see a ''lot'' of arguments regarding the SixthRanger roles. The most frequent ones being "Why is [[Series/BakuryuuSentaiAbaranger Mikoto]] a Sixth but not [[Series/JukenSentaiGekiranger Ken]]?", "Is Shou or Tsurugi the Sixth of Series/UchuSentaiKyuranger?", "Why is [[Series/TensouSentaiGoseiger Gosei Knight]] a Sixth but not [[Series/NinjaSentaiKakuranger Ninjaman]], [[Series/GekisouSentaiCarranger Signalman]] and [[Series/SeijuuSentaiGingaman Hyuuga]]?", "Why are [[Series/TokumeiSentaiGoBusters Jin and J]] considered Sixths when they're the fourth and fifth members of the team?" and so on. |
65 | ** The series is notoriously inconsistent on continuity between seasons, leading to a divide whether the franchise should be seen as one giant universe or a multiverse. While there are a few specific rules[[note]]The various crossovers are canon to each other, ''Series/TaiyouSentaiSunVulcan'' is a sequel to ''Series/DenshiSentaiDenziman'', ''Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger'' takes place in a universe where all other seasons are canon, ''Series/UchuSentaiKyuranger'' takes place in a separate universe even in crossovers and in relation to ''Gokaiger'', and ''Series/KikaiSentaiZenkaiger'' takes place in a multiverse where each season has its own universe[[/note]], even they are contradictory at points. A sizable portion of the fanbase has opted to simply [[MST3KMantra stop caring about the debate]] on account of Toei seemingly changing the rules every few seasons. |
66 | * BestKnownForTheFanservice: ''Super Sentai''[='s=] a franchise best known for its fights, characters, plots, [[MsFanservice hot female rangers]], [[MrFanservice hot male rangers]], hot villains and villainesses, and [[WholesomeCrossdresser guys wearing dresses]] [[StupidSexyFlanders while looking pretty hot.]] |
67 | * CompleteMonster: Just because it's mainly aimed at kids, doesn't mean Sentai villains can't go off the deep end. About nine times out of ten, the BigBad will fill this role. [[Monster/SuperSentai Check out here for such examples]]. |
68 | * FriendlyFandoms: |
69 | ** The ''Super Sentai'' fanbase enjoys a close relationship with fans of ''Franchise/KamenRider'', mostly due to being sister series but also for having different, yet equally valid directions for the henshin hero and toku genre. |
70 | ** Surprisingly, they also get along well with the ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' fans despite the whole possible regional adaptation arguments. This even extends to Japan where some ''Power Rangers'' seasons aired dubbed. |
71 | * GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: While ''Super Sentai'' is popular in Japan it comes in third in popularity compared to ''Franchise/UltraSeries'' and ''Franchise/KamenRider'', but thanks to ''Franchise/PowerRangers'', ''Super Sentai'' is the most iconic Japanese tokusatsu show in the West and is many westerners Gateway into the genre. |
72 | * GrowingTheBeard: Notably had a four season period of this, beginning with Changeman (first season with a successfully dark plot, as well as having better writing) and ending with Liveman (introduced series traditions such as a ThreePlusTwo format, two already combined robots combining, and a female blue ranger). In addition, the two seasons in between, Flashman and Maskman, were very well received. |
73 | * InferredHolocaust: Every city-destroying battle is treated this way, very much like its sister franchise ''Franchise/KamenRider''. It's honestly miraculous nobody has attempted to place a restriction on Sentai warriors, resulting in a [[ComicBook/CivilWar2006 Tokusatsu Civil War]]. |
74 | * MagnificentBastard: See [[MagnificentBastard/SuperSentai here]]. |
75 | * MoralEventHorizon: Own page [[MoralEventHorizon/SuperSentai here]]. |
76 | * NarmCharm: Continues the ''Kamen Rider'' tradition of making people take flashy and colorful spandex-clad warriors fighting men and women in rubber suits ''dead seriously''. |
77 | * NightmareFuel: Every few seasons, there's an episode where the villains use civilians' life energy to accomplish their latest evil plans, and it always manages to be freaky. |
78 | * StarTrekMovieCurse: While it ''doesn't'' affect ''Super Sentai'', they do have one that affects ''Power Rangers'' in relative to their sentai counterparts: The more likable a Sentai show is, the less likable its adaptation would be (good examples would be ''[[Series/SamuraiSentaiShinkenger Shinkenger]]'' to ''[[Series/PowerRangersSamurai Samurai]]'' and ''[[Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger Gokaiger]]'' to ''[[Series/PowerRangersMegaforce Super Megaforce]]''). Its inverse is also true: The more divisive/unliked/seen as average a Sentai show is, its adaptations ends up being well liked/fan-favorite seasons instead (''[[Series/ChourikiSentaiOhranger Ohranger]]'' to ''[[Series/PowerRangersZeo Zeo]]'', ''[[Series/SeijuuSentaiGingaman Gingaman]]'' to ''[[Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy Lost Galaxy]]'', and ''[[Series/EngineSentaiGoOnger Go-Onger]]'' to ''[[Series/PowerRangersRPM RPM]]'' are good examples of this). There are exceptions, of course; such as both ''[[Series/BakuryuuSentaiAbaranger Abaranger]]'' and ''[[Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder Dino Thunder]]'' as well as both ''[[Series/MiraiSentaiTimeranger Timeranger]]'' and ''[[Series/PowerRangersTimeForce Time Force]]'' being both well liked and fan-favorite seasons; inversely, there's both ''[[Series/TensouSentaiGoseiger Goseiger]]'' and ''[[Series/PowerRangersMegaforce Megaforce]]'' as well as ''[[Series/ShurikenSentaiNinninger Ninninger]]'' and ''[[Series/PowerRangersNinjaSteel Ninja Steel]]'', with the former Sentai season being [[BrokenBase divisive at best]] and the latter Sentai season being one of the most hated seasons in ''Super Sentai'' history spawning not well-liked adaptations. |
79 | * WinBackTheCrowd: Done three times! First with ''Jetman'' after the writing fatigue of ''Fiveman'', then ''Carranger'' is made as a SelfParody after ''Ohranger'' tanked in ratings but at the same time has the most sold toyline in history. And then ''Zyuohger'' after the previous four seasons[[note]]''[[Series/TokumeiSentaiGoBusters Go-Busters]]'', ''[[Series/ZyudenSentaiKyoryuger Kyoryuger]]'', ''[[Series/ResshaSentaiToQger ToQger]]'' and ''[[Series/ShurikenSentaiNinninger Ninninger]]''[[/note]] were divisive among fans after ''Gokaiger'' became a ToughActToFollow. %%Take it with a grain of salt, VocalMinority exists for a reason. |
