Tropes

  • Artistic License – History: Luna identifies Koichi Sakamoto as the pilot director for Gekiranger. While he did contribute to the second unit in New Zealand for the series, the actual director was Shojiro Nakazawa. Though this can be justified, given Luna’s later established lack of knowledge about Sentai.
  • As Himself: Yukio Yamagata and MoJo, who (along with Halko Momoi) sing Season 2's OP, are summoned by Malshina.
  • Creator Thumbprint: Discussed with Sentai directors: Luna mentions Noboru Takemotonote  and his use of sailor fuku, Katsuya Watanabenote  and his use of proper, innocent heroines, and Koichi Sakamoto and his love for Show Some Leg. Even Nobuo is impressed with this.
  • Dramatic Irony: Luna claims that Akagi and Yuko’s Akibaranger In the Name of the Moon speech is wrong.
  • Foreshadowing: Yuko enters the plot wearing regular clothes and her roll call has her mentioning that she has big news to share, which gets interrupted.
  • Instant Costume Change: Yuko appears in regular clothes before resuming her Yumeria catgirl clothes by walking into a closet and exiting a second later,
  • Our Lawyers Advised This Trope: After Luna claims to have watched Gosei Sentai Akibaranger on Toei Channel, a teleop chance occurs, which states “Gosei Sentai Akibaranger has never aired on Toei Channel”.
  • Shout-Out: When Kibaranger appears, Yumeria does Kamen Rider Nadeshiko's pose.
  • Skewed Priorities: Akagi takes the time to note the two female costumes have different hairstyles.
