History YMMV / KishiryuSentaiRyusoulger

** Also, bringing back the dino theme is an attempt at this. Dinosaurs are always a big seller, and as mentioned before, recent series, even the ones the internet likes, aren't sending toys flying off the shelves back home. It didn't worked out in the end though, since its TV ratings and toy sales ended up becoming ''way worse'' than ''Lupinranger vs. Patranger'' due to customers starting to lose interest in Sentai (mainly due Toei reusing the same theme for newer Sentai seasons over and over again), which only sped up the franchise's imminent end despite surviving long enough to have ''[[Series/MashinSentaiKiramager Kiramager]]'' and ''[[Series/KikaiSentaiZenkaiger Zenkaiger]]'' up and running.

** [[spoiler:While on the subject of Pricious, when he reached out to grab Wiserue's hand in episode 46, did he genuinely desire to turn over a new leaf? Or was he only doing so because all his other allies were dead and he had nowhere else to go? Knowing [[ManipulativeBastard Pricious]], he could have even been pulling a [[HeelFaceMole fake defection]] and planned on backstabbing Wiserue and the Ryusoulgers later.]]

** Bamba murder [[labelnote:Explanation]]A few streams for ''Ryusoulger'' show a few comments about how Bamba has been known to suggest killing Minosaur victims as his solution to killing the Minosaur itself. He gets to do it when the victim was just a box or a rock, though the rock was important to the week's guest star, so no one was happy with him for that.[[/labelnote]]

** Yuito Obara (Towa's actor) delivers in #20, especially in the scene where Towa is clearly panicked out of his mind, akin to a panic attack. If that isn't impressive enough, he was only ''16'' at the time of the episode.
** Katsumi Hyodo's (Canalo's actor) heartbreaking delivery of Canalo's doubts in #47 is stunning. You can just feel the desperation as he monologues how everything has gone to hell, clearly about to break down at the revelation that fighting Eras might not even be worth it.
** Ichika Osaki (Asuna's actress) ''knocked it out of the park'' with Asuna's absolutely heartwrenching speech in the same episode, really twisting the knife as she sobs out of sadness and anger.
** Hayate Ichinose (Koh's actor) impresses majorly in #48 with his somber, nuanced delivery of Koh's speech to Eras. Yes, that is the same exact person who played a hotheaded (downplayed) IdiotHero whose energy was practically bouncing off the walls.

* {{Moe}}: Ui is pretty adorable for a PluckyComicRelief and her FriendlessBackground only adds to her huggability.

* HarsherInHindsight: Ui's FriendlessBackground, attempted suicide in episode 3 due to being a Minosaur host, and being PutOnABus near the end of the series ends up being this due to her actress, Mana Kinjo, having passed away due to illness on December 1, 2020.

** Seriously who expected [[spoiler:[[EleventhHourRanger RyusoulBrown]]]] to be [[spoiler:'''Seto''']] of all people instead of someone like [[spoiler:Master Black]].

* GrowingTheBeard: While opinions on the first part of the show are mixed, many agree the show gets better after Nada is introduced. Then it really kicks into high gear once the final arc starts, culminating in one of the most climactic final battles in ''Super Sentai''.

** Wiserue can be rather [[BewareTheSillyOnes silly]], but his flamboyance, [[ItsAllAboutMe massive ego]] and surprisingly ruthless deviousness make him very entertaining whenever he appears.

** [[spoiler:Eras herself also has a lot of questions surrounding her true nature. Is she a once benevolent deity who sought to protect the Earth out of altruism, driven to extremes by her creations repeatedly repelling against her? Or is she just an entity trying to protect her source of energy, whose oppressive nature led the Ryusoul Tribe to turn against her?]]

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Many fans found [[spoiler:Nada's]] prior dynamic with the other Ryusoulgers as a experienced mentor-figure interesting, and wanted to see more of [[spoiler:Gaisoulg]] in action. So when he was killed off a mere episode after [[spoiler:his long redemption arc]], they were less than pleased. It also does not help that this was apparently done just to make way for the [=MaxRyuSoul=], which follows the derided tradition of "overpowered Red-exclusive form".

* RetroactiveRecognition: [=Asuna/RyusoulPink=]'s actress Ichika Osaki was previously Makimura/Another Ghost's sister Mika on Ryusoulger's Super Hero Time brother series ''Series/KamenRiderZiO''. She's likely the first tokusatsu actor to star in both a Super Sentai and Kamen Rider series simultaneously as a result.

* {{Woolseyism}}: A lot of Ryusoulger's naming conventions and puns don't translate well into English, so Over-Time's subs substitute those names for these. Expect to see both versions used by editors.

* SugarWiki/MostWonderfulSound:
** [[TransformationSequence RYU SO COOOOOOOOOOOOL!]]
** Ryusoul Changer: ''Wassei Wassei! Sou! Sou! Sou! Wassei Wassei! Sore Sore Sore Sore!''
** Ryusoul Sword: ''Ryu~ So~ Sou~ Soul! Sono kanji!''

** The title of 5th episode of ''Ryusoulger'' is "[[Series/TokusouSentaiDekaranger Hell's Watchdog]]". Guess which voice actor appeared several episodes later as the third Druidon general?

** The [=KanaeSoul=] is said to grant wishes. [[Series/MashinSentaiKiramager The next season]] will be about genies.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: Ryusoulger's combination of a brand-new production staff, particularly a new writer known for J-dramas[[note]]the act of bringing in new head writers from outside tokusatsu rather than continuing to reuse the same group of in-house writers is often credited as a factor in Kamen Rider's growth in strength as a brand in the 2010s[[/note]] and a rising star director, with a time-tested theme being reused after an unusually short amount of time, is generally taken as a sign that it's supposed to be this for ''Super Sentai'' as a brand after many years of financial underperformance and [[Series/KaitouSentaiLupinrangerVsKeisatsuSentaiPatranger its predecessor]] in particular being an unmitigated disaster. With the trademarking of ''Series/MashinSentaiKiramager'' (the next one) in October 2019, it seems that Sentai has lived to see another day, although only time will tell whether the reprieve is only temporary or if the franchise can make a full recovery.

** While it's just for the end credits, who would have thought that any number of Pretty Cure would show up for the crossover movie?

** Towa gets bitten by a dog-like Minusaur and is taken ill with a high fever, which actually mimics the effects of rabies (which thanks to widespread vaccinations are all but forgotten by now).

%%* It's too early to declare a ToughActToFollow. Add it again once the reception of the show comes in.

** In Japanese, Kreon addresses the Druidon generals with "-sama"; Over-Time has them use a different honorific for each general -- "Lord" for Tankjoh, "Mr." for Wyzul, "Sir" for Gachireus, and "Boss" for Pricious.

** The team setup was uncomfortably reminiscent of the most recent previous dinosaur series ''Series/ZyudenSentaiKyoryuger'': the team colors were the same (Red, Blue, Pink, Black, Green, and Gold; with Pink as the only girl, Green being the youngest, and Gold having navy blue coloration as well), the mecha had the same construction (Red makes the main body, the others makes the arms), and the Ryusouls act just like the Zyudenchi (not only in providing random extra powers, including a few that were seen in Kyoryuger, but being stored in the belt buckle, in summoning weapons that cover the Rangers' right arms in armor, ''and'' in being activated by having the 'mouth' of the weapon all the Rangers share bite down on it). Even those who preferred ''Ryusoulger''[='s=] execution of these elements didn't really like that a recent previous season was being rehashed to such a degree.
** It continues with the Gold Ranger's introduction. Guess [[ShockAndAwe what power]] his go-to Kyo Ryusoul grants?

* CrossesTheLineTwice: The entire episode with Kreon's first day under Gachireus is intended as a reference to actual stories of people working themselves to death in Japan, complete with ShootTheShaggyDog ending that dramatisations tend to go for - and it's PlayedForLaughs here.

* JerkassWoobie: Kleon may be [[PsychopathicManchild bratty and sadistic]] with their deeds, but mainly its due to wanting recognition from the other generals, with a few episodes highlighting how mistreated he is; episode 14 with Gachireus trying to make them create 500 Minosaurs with Kleon being exhausted, episode 25 regarding how insulted they were when Wizel called their video trash, and with episode 41 having felt and believed that he was misled and that Pricious didn't even need him, causing them to drop tears and perform baby steps to help the Ryusoulgers.

** ''Ryusoulger'' has also made numerous moves to avoid the pitfalls of its popular but flawed older brother series ''Series/ZyudenSentaiKyoryuger''. Two of these are an emphasis on the Ryusoulgers ''actually'' working together instead of having the Red ''say'' they're working together while doing everything himself, [=KishiRyuOh=] being modular enough to have a proper full team combination mecha instead of being stuck with only three at any given time by design like the majority of the Zyuden Giants and the Ryusoulgers who aren't in the mecha are still able to contribute in the battle through advice or help from outside through their usage of Souls.
