1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic:
2** "''Fight! For the Earth!!''", which can be heard in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TamvAUy4Yc this]] music video.
3** [=AbareKiller=]'s personal theme song, ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZDx8QADATo Dead End Game]]'', which he sings himself.
4** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4u9frh0IbRs The opening.]] Its [[HotBlooded hot-bloodedness]] makes you want to go rampage like a dinosaur.
5*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5mFaax3zy8 The live version.]] Sung by the man himself, [[Music/JAMProject Masaki Endoh]].
6* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Almost every time a cartoon effect is used, Paras playing a cardboard cutout piano in his debut episode and the [[RogerRabbitEffect wig-wearing seagull]] from episode 9 being the most blatant examples. By the time they get to [[RogerRabbitEffect interact with cartoon characters]], [[ItMakesSenseInContext it actually makes sense]].
7** Speaking of, #26, the {{crossover}} with ''Manga/TsuribakaNisshi'' is a whole episode of this trope. From a Western perspective, it's essentially the equivalent of if ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'' had a crossover with ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''.
8* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Wicked Life God Dezumozorlya]], worshipped by the Evoliens as a GodOfEvil, has launched genocidal wars against innocent planets for no reason other than bigotry, for fun, or because the people of those worlds refused to worship him as a god. It also stands as the only [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil rapist]] in the entire franchise as it brainwashed Mahoro so she could give birth to [[TheDragon Lijewl]] and cares nothing about the fact that its acts are despicable. Despite his belief in his superiority to other lifeforms, Dezumozorlya demonstrates cruelty and sadism, such as how it takes sheer delight in the destruction it causes in the finale, which shows it is not so different to the beings that it despises.
9* ContinuityLockout: Those who doesn't watch the ''Abaranger DELUXE: Abare Summer is Freezing Cold'' movie will be confused by Bakuren-oh's return in the 48th episode. Due to rights issues it wasn't licensed along with the show when the series was released Stateside by Creator/ShoutFactory, meaning fans watching this season legally will more than likely experience this.
10* DracoInLeatherPants: Abare Killer. [[spoiler:Granted, his HeelFaceTurn late in the series makes him more sympathetic in the end...]]
11* EndingFatigue: Both episodes 47 and 48 have fairly dramatic narrative resolutions, with 47 featuring [[spoiler: the fulfillment of a prophecy involving the BigBad]] and 48 having an epic giant Mecha fight against two powerful enemies and the [[spoiler: HeroicSacrifice of Abarekiller]]. And then there are still two more episodes to go.
12%%* EvilIsCool: Mikoto
13* FakeAmerican: The American baseball player Bucky Bonds is played by Ghanaian expatriate actor Samuel Pop Aning, who you might know from ''Series/DenjiSentaiMegaranger'' and ''Series/UltramanGaia''.
14* FoeYayShipping: Asuka and Jeanne. [[spoiler:Then again, they ''are'' husband and wife.]]
15* FridgeBrilliance: The reason why Ryouga's Ranger name is '''Aba'''Red and not '''Abare'''Red is because "Aba'''re'''" and "'''Re'''d" share the same "re" kana, so it would be rather redundant to use the same kana twice.
16* HarsherInHindsight: Rougirafleshia's ability to turn women into rafflesias with her Lipstick Magic to prevent humans to repopulate and eventually die out completely. Guess what happened in Japan's birth rate today, even without Rougirafleshia's involvement.
17* HilariousInHindsight: Aside from Parasa, wasn't [[Series/EngineSentaiGoOnger another peppy green mecha]] spouting GratuitousSpanish in a more recent Super Sentai?
18** Once that crosses over with AccidentallyCorrectWriting: Asuka[=/=][=AbareBlack=] is a member of a dinosaur-themed Sentai and has a wrist-mounted transformation device that requires a key. When ''Abaranger'' gets adapted into ''Dino Thunder'', his counterpart is Tommy, who started his tenure with [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers a dinosaur-themed team]] and whose last power before ''Dino Thunder'' [[Series/PowerRangersTurbo had a wrist-mounted transformation device (morpher) that required a key]]. Other than being a Sentai series, one being dinosaur-themed, and team-ups, ''Abaranger'' has no other connections with ''[[Series/KyoryuSentaiZyuranger Zyuranger]]'' or ''[[Series/GekisouSentaiCarranger Carranger]]''
19* ItWasHisSled: [[spoiler: The death of Mikoto/[=AbareKiller=] is pretty common knowledge.]]
20* LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt: [[spoiler: Asuka's death in episode 32. The show attempts to fool you by removing his credit from the intro, but he still remains in both the opening and ending. Sure enough, it turns out he took the cursed armor off Mahoro/Jeanne, and eventually, he himself gets saved.]]
21* NightmareFuel: The Dino Minder. An unstable SuperPrototype TransformationTrinket that can blow up the entire city of Tokyo if left unchecked. Grants amazing strength to its user, however its power is so great that Mikoto had to prepare for six months before finally being able to use it without passing out from the intense power surge. Even after that, the Dino Minder’s power surges will constantly interrupt and endanger his life.
22** It is implied that Mikoto is in constant pain whenever he uses the Dino Minder to transform into [=AbareKiller=], meaning his six months training was not to master the device, but to create a tolerance to the immense pain the transformation state gaves him. However, giving his thrill-seeking nature, he probably enjoys the pain... a lot.
23** [[spoiler: You can even say that, had it not been for the Dezumozorlya inside him keeping the Dino Minder at bay and constantly healing Mikoto's body, he could have just died the first time he tried the device.]]
24* TooCoolToLive: [[spoiler:Abare Killer himself, Mikoto and his partner, Top Galer. Fittingly enough, their [[TogetherInDeath twin]] DyingMomentOfAwesome has the ''Pterosaur'' fly Mikoto up to space before the Dino Minder finally explodes.]]
25* TheWoobie: Asuka and Mai.
26** StoicWoobie: Yukito
27* {{Woolseyism}}: The names of the Trinoids are all combinations of the three things (animal, plant, and inanimate object) that they're made of. Imagination Station's subs translates these names into English while still preserving the combination of the three items.
28** After Ryoga and Yukito form [=AbarenOh=] without Ptera due to Ranru being unavailable, [=AbaRed=] comes up with the idea to refer to him as "[=AbarenOhji=]" (as [=AbarenOh=] means "Rampaging King", "AbarenOhji" means "Rampaging Prince" referring to the lesser status of their mech). Imagination Station refers to this form as "[=AbarenOhlmost=]," which is a completely different translation, but still conveys how [=AbarenOh=] is in an incomplete form.
