Line #1 YMMV/SuperRobotMonkeyTeamHyperforceGo


1	%%* AudienceAlienatingPremise: Even those who know better not to believe the AnimationAgeGhetto can't help but find the show ridiculous, simply because of how [[QuirkyWork flat-out bizarre its premise is]] (then again, this ''was'' inspired by anime...). Despite this, there are those who pushed past it and formed quite a cult fandom around it.
2	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The theme used at the very end of the first season finale. Variations also include the music at the end of "I, Chiro". Even more epically, the music used when we first see [[spoiler: Antauri as the silver monkey]] (complete with lightning crashing behind him) and all variations on that theme.
3	%% The Bizarro Episode examples are zero-context and have been commented out.
4	%% * BizarroEpisode:
5	%% ** Wonder Fun Meat World.
6	%% ** "The Hills Have 5", to name another.
7	* CompleteMonster:
8	** [[ManiacMonkeys The original Mandarin]] was the first leader of the Hyperforce, and the one who [[spoiler:inadvertently turned their kindly creator, the Alchemist, into the malevolent [[BigBad Skeleton King]]]]. [[GoodIsNotNice Even as a hero]], Mandarin was a sadistic bully who at one point had his younger sister, Nova, participate in a torturous "training exercise" that entailed Nova being subjected to worsening sub-zero temperatures by Mandarin, who could be heard giggling at the obvious pain and discomfort that he was causing Nova. Eventually concluding that he was better than everyone else, Mandarin [[FallenHero turned to evil]] and attempted to conquer Shuggazoom, only to be defeated and imprisoned by the rest of the Hyperforce, who replaced him with [[KidHero Chiro]]. After escaping from custody, Mandarin enslaves everyone in Shuggazoom City, captures the Hyperforce, and tries to tempt Chiro to his side by telling him that WeCanRuleTogether. Later allying with the Skeleton King, Mandarin abducts and rips off the head of Chiro's robot girlfriend, Jinmay, and [[MindRape psychically tortures]] Chiro into revealing the whereabouts of the missing Hyperforce, who he also mentally tortures in an attempt to destroy their wills and turn them into mindless servants of himself and the Skeleton King. In his final appearance, Mandarin attempts to create a perfect clone of Chiro. After Chiro destroys his replicator, Mandarin has all of the remaining imperfect clones merge together to form a massive BlobMonster that he orders to devour every living thing on Shuggazoom.
9	** [[spoiler:The [[BitchInSheepsClothing seemingly kind and polite]] slot machine owners [[EvilOldFolks Ma and Pa Sheenko]] are in fact the leaders of the [[ApocalypseCult Skeleton Circle cult]], worshiping the Skeleton King. In the past, the couple [[AbusiveParents offered their daughter Valeena]] to the Skeleton King, who tainted her with his evil, turning her into the evil Skull Sorceress. After the Skeleton King was killed, the Sheenkos stole his skull to take its power for themselves and pick up where the Skeleton King left off. When a vagrant stumbles upon one of the underground rooms of the Skeleton Circle, he is strung up by the Sheenkos and left to be EatenAlive by giant rats. Using the power of the Skeleton King's skull, Ma and Pa begin to unleash destruction and supernatural disasters on their "pathetic" homeworld of Shuggazum, starting on Shuggazum City, planning to spread disaster and destruction throughout the universe, not caring about the countless deaths while they receive strength and power before attempting to [[OffingTheOffspring kill their daughter Valeena]] for refusing to join them.]]
10	* EpilepticTrees: After Chiro found a room full of ''his'' stuff in the Skeleton King's lair, fan theories went a bit wild.
11	* EveryoneIsJesusInPurgatory: Chiro equals Chi Rho, the first two greek letters of Christ, and is used even today to represent him.
12	* FanficFuel:
13	** What was Chiro's life like before discovering the Super Robot, and what happened after he reawakened the Monkey Team?
14	** The little knowledge we have of [[spoiler:the Alchemist]]'s backstory alone is enough to make ''several'' fanfics. [[spoiler:Why did he leave the Prometheus Project, steal the Super Robot and retreat into the jungle? How did he meet and befriend Captain Shuggazoom? And how did he come to know about the Veron Mystics' prophecy and the Dark Ones?]]
15	* FanNickname:
16	** "Skele-Mandarin" for [[spoiler: Mandarin's Clone.]]
17	** When fans are referring to the Season 2 finale ("Antauri's Masters" and "I, Chiro") and the Season 3 opener ("The Savage Lands" two-parter) episodes as a whole, they tend to call it "The ''I, Chiro'' Saga".
18	** Fans refer to Sprx, Gibson and Otto as the "Black-Eyed Trio".
19	** Fans also refer to Sprx, Otto and Nova as the "Stoplight Trio".
20	* HilariousInHindsight:
21	** In ''Film/PowerRangers2017'', when the Rangers finally enter their Zords, a cord connects to their suits and allows for them to link up and control their respective Zords... exactly like the Monkeys (well, the port connects with their heads, not their backs, but details).
22	*** [[OlderThanTheyThink That type of linkup didn't originate with this show, either]] -- it would be 1993's ''WesternAnimation/ExoSquad'' that codified that type of linkup (at least in Western productions), with the "cyberjacks" that hooked into ports installed at the base of the characters' skulls (for neural commands).
23	** Four relating to ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012'':
24	*** Creator/GregCipes voices Michelangelo who wears an orange mask and is the youngest of his team, just like Chiro. For extra hilarity, Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson (Antauri) would voice the Shredder, who is enemies with Cipes' character instead of being his mentor and friend.
25	*** Michaelangelo has green skin and wears an orange mask. In other words, he's basically a mix between Chiro (orange mask, youngest member of the team) and [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003 Beast Boy]] (green skin, being an immature prankster).
26	*** ''TMNT 2012'' even has a monkey with PsychicPowers voiced by Creator/TomKenny, doing the same voice he used for Gibson.
27	*** Creator/CoreyFeldman voices Sprx, the red monkey. In ''TMNT 2012'', he voices Slash, the mutated pet turtle of the red-masked turtle Raphael.
28	** This show will not be the last time Creator/MarkHamill voices a [[WesternAnimation/MastersOfTheUniverseRevelation skeleton villain]].
29	* JerkassWoobie:
30	** Clone Mandarin. C'mon, the guy gets his arm CUT OFF (on camera, no less!), is eaten alive by a giant worm-shaped incarnation of pure evil, starves, becomes undead, and eventually goes absolutely batshit insane in said worm, is later TORTURED for information for the whereabouts of his dead master's skull (again, on camera), and is then forced to become a pet-slave, which for someone with his {{pride}}, is a FateWorseThanDeath.
31	** Valina too, all things considered. Horribly cruel, definitely, but considering she'd been raised by two BitchInSheepsClothing cult-goers (who viciously attacked her the second she opposed them; sure she had dark powers to defend herself with then, but she didn't always), that's not much of a shock. [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation It's also a little murky whether or not she even WANTED to receive Skeleton King's power at first, considering that by her own admission that was something she was CHOSEN for.]] [[spoiler:[[AlasPoorVillain And then there's how she died... at the hands of the master she'd been busting her ass to resurrect.]]]] Kind of ironic that both the examples here actually end up working with together and ''hating'' every second of it.
32	* LauncherOfAThousandShips: Nova. She has sizable shipping fanbases with every single member of the team, Chiro included.
33	* MoralEventHorizon:
34	** [[JerkAss Mandarin]] crossed the horizon pre-series when he [[spoiler: forced Nova into a freezing training room in order to "train her to survive harsh conditions" while continually lowering the heat and laughing at her. He only stopped when her UnstoppableRage kicked in and blew him into a wall.]] It seems even more reprehensible when you take into account the fact that he did this ''before'' his FaceHeelTurn, while he was still considered one of the good guys.
35	** Mandarin apparently gets some kind of kick crossing this thing, because he does it '''''twice'''''. There's the above mentioned example, then after he's {{Face Heel Turn}}ed he [[spoiler: ''[[MindRape tortures his former teammates]]'']] in an attempt to force their obedience.
36	** Clone Mandarin, in true spirit to the original, crossed this when he viciously [[spoiler: [[InTheBack stabbed Antauri]] ''[[InTheBack in the back of the skull]]'']] with no fair warning.
37	* NauseaFuel:
38	** CLOGGY. COLON. CREATURE.
39	*** The most disgusting thing about him are the DISGUSTINGLY realistic vomiting noises that Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson makes as he pukes up all the citizens that he ate when the citizens of Shuggazoom City pelt him with produce which turns out to be his weakness.
40	** Also, bug eating comes up at least once every other season. It's even the key to saving the day in one episode.
41	** Chiro spends a good portion of "Belly Of The Beast" exploring [[spoiler:the Dark One Worm's insides]]. He does ''not'' enjoy himself.
42	** "Invasion of the Vreen" not only had [[spoiler: Gibson eating a bug to save the day]], but also when one of the Vreen was sliced in half and we had a view of its... err... parts. Gibson had the right to feel sickened by the sight.
43	** And Ah-Fei's room full of [[DeadGuyOnDisplay mounted monster heads]]. What is [[YouDoNOTWantToKnow that liquid coating the floor in there]]?
44	* ParanoiaFuel: It is said that [[spoiler: the Dark Ones implanted offspring in the cores of "countless" planets. Take a moment to think about the concept that the planet you live on could be housing an enormous evil monster bent on instigating a ZombieApocalypse on every planet in the universe, and you would have absolutely no idea until it hatched.]]
45	* {{Squick}}: The monkeys tastes seem to extend outside their species. Sprx-77 is by the far the worst offender with his [[LovableSexManiac egregious love for human women]] (he gets better, though). Otto is the same, though to a far, far lesser extent. And there was even one instance in which Nova fell in love with an [[CatFolk anthropomorphic cat]].
46	* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: [[InsignificantLittleBluePlanet Earth]] is only ever seen once, in the present, and it's never stated whether or not the humans seen on Shugazoom and elsewhere originally came from Earth, or what (not to mention if the governments of Earth in this universe are aware of the aliens outside the planet and their battles).
47	* ViewerGenderConfusion: At least until you hear Sakko talk. Some countries decided otherwise, as mentioned.
48	* TheWoobie: Pretty much all of the Hyperforce at one time or another.
