Added lines 78:
*SuicideAttack: One episode had Gear use the Mechaclones as walking bombs.
*{{Synchronization}}: One Robot Monster had a counterpart Mechaclone, a MacGuffinGirl named Miki, whose existence allowed him to regenerate damage. [[spoiler:She did a HeroicSacrifice to stop that.]]
*UnfriendlyFire: Mason, using Metal Megas, blasts the Biomen ''and'' the five Beastnoids, [[spoiler:which destroys Aquaiger and Messerbeast.]]

* Gou Shiro/[[color:red:Red One]]: The pilot of Japan's first space shuttle before becoming the leader of Bioman. His Bio powers include being able to understand the speech of animals.

* Nanbara Ryuuta/[[color:blue:Blue Three]]: A water sportsman and the youngest member of the team.
* Koizumi Mika/[[color:gold:Yellow Four]] (I): A photographer who's KilledOffForReal in episode 10. Yabuki Jun, who was in training for the Japanese Olypmic archery team, took her place.
* Yabuki Jun/[[color:gold:Yellow Four]] (II): An Olympic archer, replaced Mika after Mika was KilledOffForReal. Very much an ActionGirl; her actress is an experienced stuntwoman, and she did lots of her own stunts in the show.
* Katsuragi Hikaru/[[color:fuchsia:Pink Five]]: TheChick and TeamMom. A flutist descended from a noblewoman.

Added line 44:
* MakeMyMonsterGrow: Absent. Gear has five human-sized monsters it uses over and over and a different giant monster in each episode. As this prevented the giant monsters from having much of an identity (not to mention probably kept Toei from getting much of a return on investing in the costumes), this approach has pretty much stayed unique to Bioman.
Deleted line 45:
* MonsterOfTheWeek: Not subverted, but done different than most Sentai. Gear has five human-sized monsters it uses over and over, and a different giant monster in each episode which is only seen at the very end. As this prevented the giant monsters from having much of an identity (not to mention probably kept Toei from getting much of a return on investing in the costumes), this approach has pretty much stayed unique to Bioman.
