History YMMV / HikariSentaiMaskman

** So is the movie's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JoUTwuLTUw opening]]. [[RuleOfThree Again, thank you,]] [[JAMProject Hironobu Kageyama]]!

** Made fantastically weird in the brazilian dub. Igan is still dubbed by a voice actress, but she does not make any effort to make her voice sound a bit more male. Also, some fans are creeped out by the fact that she also voiced [[ElChavoDelOcho Doña Florinda]].

* CompleteMonster: Emperor Zeba. Tube's dictator who has absolutely no compunction about killing or punishing his subordinates. His monstrosity is finally revealed in the final episodes where it turns out that he is [[spoiler:actually the spawn of Rizal Doggler, a malignant creature who tried to usurp the throne and was defeated by the original Tube royal family. After which he ate his dying father in order to become stronger. Driven by a seething hatred against humans from both sides of the crust, it proceeds to destroy the rest of the original family save Ial and Igam, taking over as emperor and corrupting the peaceful Tube into becoming a militaristic Crapsack World using enslaved underground humans in an attempt to reach the surface world and extend its malicious grip.]]

* HilariousInHindsight: X-1 Mask's design differs greatly from the existing Maskman design scheme - while he might not pass for one of them, [[BattleFeverJ he'd make a passable Battle Ireland.]]

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The opening credits features a naked body-builder flexing, summoning energy and blasting a big block of ice... which explodes to reveal the five members of the team. The hell?

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: While this Sentai is pretty much fine in Japan, it's really, really popular in the Philippines. Generally the contender for most memorable Sentai is either this or ChoudenshiBioman.
** Amusingly, Takeru's actor married a Filipino woman.
** Like Changeman and Flashman, it's loved by Brazilian fans.

*** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QStEk741w2g Even the Filipino version is epic]].

** What about the ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXIgTpC1IvA ending theme]]''. Again, thank you, [[JAMProject Hironobu Kageyama]].

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: The opening music is ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fe4wmm6DlOg&feature=related very awesome]]''. Thank you, [[JAMProject Hironobu Kageyama!]]

* ValuesDissonance: The male Maskmen jokingly impersonate criminals to get the female members to strip. That strikes a modern viewer [[{{Understatement}} a tad]] creepy.

* TheUntwist: [[spoiler:Prince Igam is actually a woman. Not much of a spoiler, considering "he" was obviously played by a female...]]

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Lots to go, which includes [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9yRUSIjQ04 the whole episode of meeting little Takeru]], and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzFPou5WjJ0 the boys trying to 'strip' the girls...]]
