---> '''All''': "The savage [=DinoGuts=]! ''Bakury&#363 Sentai Abaranger!!''"

* LighterAndSofter: Subverted. It is generally pretty lighthearted, with many funny moments coming out of the dynamic between our oddball trio, Asuka's lack of knowledge about Earth, the Bakuryus in general, and even the Evolien. However, it still has plenty of dark moments with its CosmicHorrorStory, the reveal of Jeanne's real identity, [[spoiler:Asuka wielding the Cursed Armor]], ''everything'' about Leje and Lejewel, and [[spoiler:Mikoto's death.]]

* YouLookFamiliar: In the final episode, the Abarangers have a reunion some time after defeating the Evoliens. [[spoiler:Asuka and Mahoro (now back on Dino Earth) cannot be there, nor can Mikoto (dead) and Lejewel (de-aged ''past Leje'' into an infant, back on Dino Earth), so all five (counting Leje/Lejewel as two separate characters) are replaced by identical-looking customers who just happen to wander into Dino Curry at the right moment.]]

--> [[spoiler: '''Mikoto''': "[[TheStoic The finest example of excitement.]][[note]] Tokimeki no haku.[[/note]] ''[=AbareKiller=]''!"]][[note]]The work "Haku" is a wordplay; "Haku" means "Doctor", among other things, and the Kanji used here for "Ha" stands for "White".[[/note]]

* LawOfChromaticSuperiority: [[spoiler: Ryoga later obtains the power to become [[NextTierPowerUp [=AbareMax=]]].]]

* AllJustADream: [[spoiler: Episode 44]] is revealed to be a dream.

* ArtifactOfDoom: [[spoiler: The cursed armor that Asuka acquires eventually causes the wearer to go insane attacking both friend and foe alike.]]

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Episode 13 has the villains celebrating getting rid of the Abarangers [[spoiler: by sending them to the past in Episode 12. However, they start disappearing in the course of the episode. Turns out, sending your enemies back in time is not the most sound plan. In short, the Abarangers make it back to the present because the ''villains'' brought them back (granted, they tried killing them first with monsters, but that went as well as expected).]]
* DreamWithinADream: [[spoiler: Episode 44 starts with the 4 rangers in a dream world where they have white collar jobs in a office building. They eventually figure out it's a dream and escape to reality. Then they find out they were trapped in that dream because of a attack by Yatsudenwani. The rangers track him down and blow him up, except it turns out the whole episode was a nightmare Yatsudenwani was having.]]

* EarnYourHappyEnding: Exactly what [[spoiler: Asuka]] did.

* FuelMeterOfPower: [[spoiler: Abarekiller's suit is set to self-destruct after a set amount of transformations. [[ForegoneConclusion It eventually does.]]]]

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.

* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: Dr. Nakadai Mikoto[=/AbareKiller=], Mahoro[=/Jeanne=], and (arguably) Yatsudenwani.]]

* IdenticalStranger: [[spoiler: At the very end of the series, most of the cast has reunited at the Dino Curry restaurant. People identical to Asuka and Mahoro show up with a daughter who looks like Leje. Then, a couple come in who are identical to Mikoto and Lejewel. Ryouga, Yukito, Ranru, Emiri, Ryunnosuke, and Yatsudenwani are very surprised.]]

* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler: [=AbareKiller=], and in a way, [=TopGaler=].]]

* StarCrossedLovers: [[spoiler: Asuka and Mahoro aka Jeanne. They got better temporarily. After that, they enter a DatingCatwoman scenario, even take an ActOfTrueLove fight for each other in episode 40. Finally things turned HappilyEverAfter for them.]]

* [[ThatManIsDead That Woman Is Dead]]: [[spoiler: Jeanne is formerly Asuka's lover Mahoro. She discarded her name and became the Apostle of Destruction, fixated on killing Asuka for "betraying" her.]]

* WantingIsBetterThanHaving: Dr. Nakadai was naturally good at anything he tried, [[spoiler: due to being the host for half of the series' main villain]], and spent most of his life bored out of his skull from the lack of challenge. When he found the dangerous prototype TransformationTrinket, he became a supervillain rather than a good guy because it was more fun, and learning that [[spoiler:the device will eventually explode]] only made it more exciting. Ironically [[spoiler:Mikoto implies he only truely found satisfaction when finally joining up with the Abarangers briefly towards the end, implying he might actually have been better off as a good guy from the start.]]

A V-Cinema titled ''Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger 20th: The Unforgivable Abare'' is set to be released in cinemas in 2023 followed by a Blu-ray/DVD release in March 27, 2024.

In the backstory of ''Abaranger'', the meteorite that killed all the dinosaurs in the distant past [[ForWantOfANail actually split Earth]] into two [[AlternateUniverse parallel worlds]]: "[[InsignificantLittleBluePlanet Another Earth]]", the world as we know it where the dinosaurs became extinct, and "Dino Earth", where dinosaurs lived on alongside humans and eventually evolved into "Bakuryu"[[note]]Coming from "Bakuretsu" (Explosion) and "Kyouryuu" (Dinosaur)[[/note]] and "Ryujin"[[note]]"Dragon people", coming from "Kyouryuu" (Dinosaur) and "Jin" (People)[[/note]] respectively.

* GrandTheftPrototype: [=AbareKiller=] forces Stego into combining with [=TopGaler=] to form [=KillerOh=]. [[spoiler:Later on he temporarily kidnaps every non-main Bakuryu and uses them against their own will.]]

** In episode 13, the villains figure out the past is changing because they are disappearing from a photograph, thanks to the interference of people from the present day. Sounds a lot like ''Film/BackToTheFuture''...

* TakeThat: Giganoid No. 2: Hero in episode 8 is a CaptainErsatz of Series/{{Ultraman}}.

* PowerWalk: in the final scene from the opening.

* MixAndMatch: {Super Sentai + (Dinosaurs × TalkingAnimal) + [[StuffBlowingUp Explosions]] + AlienInvasion} × '''[[HotBlooded HOT BLOODED!!!]]''' = '''''BAKURYUU SENTAI ABARANGER!!!'''''

* ShoutOut: Brachio, every time he appears on the battlefield, does so with a different line. Best part? [[https://www.geocities.co.jp/Hollywood-Theater/5032/abare_brakio.html Virtually all of them are lyrics from Toku songs.]] For those unable to read Japanese, Brachio's referenced songs from ''Series/SpaceSheriffSharivan'', ''Series/JAKQDengekitai'', ''Series/BattleFeverJ'', ''Series/BishoujoKamenPoitrine'', ''Series/DenshiSentaiDenziman'', ''Series/JikuuSenshiSpielban'', ''Series/TaiyouSentaiSunVulcan'', ''Series/KagakuSentaiDynaman'', ''Series/SpaceSheriffShaider'', ''Series/KaiketsuZubat'', ''Series/DaiSentaiGoggleFive'', ''Series/DengekiSentaiChangeman'', ''Series/YuugenJikkouSistersShushutorian'', ''Series/RescueSentaiGoGoFive'', ''Series/SpaceSheriffGavan'', ''Series/KamenRiderSkyrider'', ''Series/TokusouRoboJanperson'', ''Series/SeiunKamenMachineman'', ''Series/{{Kikaider}}'', ''Series/KamenRiderFaiz'', ''Abaranger'' itself, ''Series/GekisouSentaiCarranger'', ''Series/KamenRiderKuuga'', ''Series/CaptainUltra'', ''Series/KamenRiderX'', ''Series/NinpuuSentaiHurricaneger'' (in the CrossOver with that show), and ''Series/TokusouSentaiDekaranger'' (again, in the CrossOver with that show).

Partnered with the ''Franchise/KamenRider'' series ''[[Series/KamenRiderFaiz Kamen Rider 555]]'' before concluding its airing alongside the first episodes of ''Series/KamenRiderBlade'' in the ''Series/SuperHeroTime'' block, marking the first such Sentai/Rider partnership to be accompanied by the name.

* MissedTheCall: Mikoto misses the distribution of [[TransformationTrinket|s]]. He finds a [[SealedEvilInACan Sealed Evil In An]] [[EggMcGuffin Egg McGuffin]] while moping.

* StarCrossedLovers: [[spoiler: Asuka and Mahoro aka Jeanne. They got better temporarily. After that, they enter a DatingCatwoman scenario. But things turned HappilyEverAfter for them.]]

* ByThePowerOfGreyskull: "Bakuryu Change!"

* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: The girl group from episodes 22-23, who were not only fully aware that their song and program were brainwashing kids into delinquency, but actively banking on it to boost their credo. Though the manager has a HeelRealisation when he sees that his granddaughter is among the affected, [[EvenEvilHasStandards despite him telling her not to watch]].

The theme of the series is, [[MeaningfulName quite obvious from the title]], [[EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs dinosaurs]], lots and lots of [[HotBlooded hotbloodedness]], and [[StuffBlowingUp explosions]].[[note]] Just for starters: The word "[=AbaRanger=]" is from "''Abare''", meaning "riot/rampage/outbreak/run wild".[[/note]]

* MixAndMatch: {Super Sentai + ([[EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs Dinosaurs]] × TalkingAnimal) + [[StuffBlowingUp Explosions]] + AlienInvasion} × '''[[HotBlooded HOT BLOODED!!!]]''' = '''''BAKURYUU SENTAI ABARANGER!!!'''''

* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: Of course.

* FourTemperamentEnsemble
** Ryouga: Choleric
** Yukito: Phlegmatic
** Ranru: Sanguine
** Asuka: Melancholic
* FreakyFridayFlip: Ryouga and Yukito in Episode 27.
* FreudianTrio
** Id: Ryouga
** Superego: Yukito
** Ego: Ranru

* RecycledPremise: The plot of the show is oddly reminiscent of the plot of the ''Film/SuperMarioBros'' movie. This means Asuka is ''Princess Daisy.''

* WeaponOfChoice
** SwissArmyWeapon: The [=AbaLasers=].[[note]]Gun and [[CoolSword Sword]] Modes.[[/note]]
** SpikesOfDoom: Abare Mode
*** PowerGivesYouWings: Ranru's Abare Mode offers her this.
** Ryouga: [[MartialArtsStaff Tyranno Rod]]. [[spoiler:As [=AbareMax=], he uses the [[InfinityPlusOneSword Sty]][[LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe Riser]].]]
** Yukito: [[ShieldBash Tricera Bunker]]
** Ranru: [[DualWielding Ptera Daggers]]
** Asuka: [[RoyalRapier Dino Thruster]][[note]]Has 4 different [[ElementalPowers elemental]] attacks.[[/note]]
** Mikoto: [[CoolSword Wing]] [[ThePenIsMightier Pentact]]

** Mikoto is a [[EnsembleDarkhorse fan-favorite]] evil SixthRanger who wields a dagger as a WeaponOfChoice. He later [[HeelFaceTurn turns good]], but [[RedemptionEqualsDeath didn't live long enough]], much like [[Series/KyoryuSentaiZyuranger Burai]].
