History Series / TokusouSentaiDekaranger

* CanonImmigrant: Ban gets a "Battlizer" form, which originated in ''Series/PowerRangersSPD'' and was reimported into ''[[Film/MahouSentaiMagirangerVsDekaranger MagirangerVSDekaranger]]''.

* SuperMode: SWAT Mode. Unusually, it's not a particularly unique or legendary form, and is given to any SPD officer who passes its training course; it just happens to be the Dekarangers' MidSeasonUpgrade. Later, [=DekaRed=] gets a Battlizer in ''[[Film/MahouSentaiMagirangerVsDekaranger Magiranger vs. Dekaranger]]'' (actually a reverse import from ''Series/PowerRangersSPD'').

* SenpaiKohai: Tetsu considers the Earth Division rangers (especially Ban) as his sempai.

* SurprisinglyGoodEnglish: The [=DekaMachines=] are dispatched with an announcer that uses well-accented English, although the inflections can sound off at times.

*** ''[[Film/TokusouSentaiDekaranger10YearsAfter 10 Years After]]'' gives us new recruits Mugi Grafton and Assam Asimov, presumably named after Sue Grafton and Issac Asimov. [[spoiler: Too bad they're TheMole.]]

* VillainousBreakdown: Normally Agent Abrella is a calculating opportunistic arms-merchant, setting up wars so his business will flourish. In the series, he mostly stays behind the scenes and sold Mooks and HumongousMecha to the VillainOfTheWeek. But when the Dekarangers foiled his plans just too many times,[[spoiler:he angrily starts a direct attack on the [=DekaBase=], killing the hundreds of employees working there en masse]], thus turning from a cool-headed, cold-hearted merchant into a fuming, bloodthirsty murderer.
* YeahShot: The finale has this.

** Episode 37 has Hoji's final Tokkyou exam involve deleting his IllGirl girlfriend Telesa's younger brother, who'd become a SerialKiller in the hopes of manufacturing a cure for her. Even worse, it's implied Telesa was on her way to recovery anyway thanks to her relationship with Hoji giving her a reason to live, but the incident results in their relationship being permanently ruined, Telesa joining a nunnery carrying the grief of knowing her brother had become a SerialKiller for her sake, and Hoji declining the Tokkyou promotion, making it ''multiple'' counts of AllForNothing.

* SempaiKohai: Tetsu considers the Earth Division rangers (especially Ban) as his sempai.

* {{Zeerust}}: It's a little more justified than most cases since series takes place in an AlternateHistory, so the year is still 2004 and not TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture, but it can be amusing to watch the series years later and see that they have technology to allow for intergalactic space travel and communication but are still using flip phones.

* TheNeedsOfTheMany: [[spoiler:When Abrella hijacks the [=DekaBase=] in the finale, SPD sends an elite force to blow it up and prevent Abrella from starting an intergalactic war, knowing full well that this will mean killing everyone in the base. Fortunately, Swan happens to have salvaged the [=DekaWing=] Robo, allowing them to put up a fight and take the base back without sacrificing anyone.]]

*** Swan's policy of "only transforming once every four years" is a reference to Higurashi Neruo from ''{{Manga/Kochikame}}'', a police officer who only wakes up once every four years when the Olympics are running.

*** One episode has the Dekaranger Robo= stopping an incoming missile by invoking the BarehandedBladeBlock (complete with JidaiGeki terminology).

* [[PrinceAndPauper Princess and Pauper]]: Episode 31 has Umeko switching places with an alien princess [[IdenticalStranger who looks identical to her]], under the assumption that she's being targetted for an assasination attempt. Turns out she's just trying to escape from doing a bunch of silly and annoying ceremonies before she can claim the throne... until it's revealed that one of their aides ''is'' planning to have her murdered.

* BookEnds: [[spoiler:The series ends with Ban rescuing a child who wants to grow up to be a detective like Ban, similar to the Alienizer victim Ban had met at the beginning of the series whose dream Ban had taken on.]]

* {{Crossover}}

* NowYouTellMe: When Faraway [[{{Technopath}} hacks]] the [=DekaBase=], Swan reports that the launch systems for the [=DekaMachines=] have been locked. Unfortunately, this comes right after Hoji, Sen, and Umeko had jumped into the launch chute [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments and ended up getting stuck in it]].

--> [=DekaBlue=]: Impossible.
