History YMMV / KyoryuSentaiZyuranger

** Bandora losing her powers when she cries as the result of Kai's death is also this. This is mentioned in the final episode only, but is not mentioned anywhere prior to this.

** While not bad, most fans find the usual plot at the beginning of saving kids from Bandora to be formulaic at best. But fans agree that once Burai shows up, the show gets better as it gives some CharacterDevelopment between him and Geki as well as show some drama over wether or not Burai survives.

* EvilIsSexy: Lamie - played straight when in her normal form, but subverted when enlarged by Bandora at which moment she becomes an ugly monster, making Ami Kawai (the actress playing as her) feel pretty embarrassed whenever that happens.

* HarsherInHindsight:
** At the beginning of episode 6, Geki gets transported to a strange land by Guardian Beast Tyrannosaurus, and sees the toppled Tokyo Tower. Tokyo was badly rocked by an earthquake/tsunami many years later.
** The fact that Tommy Oliver, Burai's occidental counterpart, is SparedByAdaptation and became a CompositeCharacter of five rangers, became this with the death of Jason David Frank.

* RetroactiveRecognition: Episode 39's child of the week is Shin Nagahama, 22 years before he became [[Series/ResshaSentaiToQger Akira Nijino]].

* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: In the endgame arc when Bandora captures the Guardian Beasts, Daizyuzin, Dragon Caesar, and King Brachion, and seals them within her Magic Realm. This would've been the perfect opportunity for Bandora to kill off her biggest obstacles but instead imprisons them for no clear reason.

* CheapCostume: Due to the lower budget of Zyuranger compared to other seasons, this was to be given. While most are decent with a few good ones such as Dora Knight or Dora Guzzler, others look so cheap that it looks like they were bought at a Halloween thrift shop such as Dora Franke or Dora Reiger.

* DesignatedHero: Daizyujin/the Guardian Beasts often come across as JerkassGods for how often they tend to dick around the Zyurangers for the most arbitrary of reasons being portrayed as a test for them. It's most obviously seen when it involves Burai, whether it's him blasting Geki for questioning his order to kill Burai and then taking away their powers when they later wish to try help him stay alive, and then outright lying to them about the way that they were told could save his life, which led to more damage than could have been avoided. At times, Daizyujin is LawfulNeutral, with his dicking the heroes around making him border on LawfulEvil (contrasting Dai-Satan's NeutralEvil)

* MrExposition: Barza's story role is this. While he's meant to be a mentor to the Zyuranger, he's mostly there to give them information on a monster and how they're supposed to beat it such as finding its weakness. The role of a mentor of the season is used for Daizyuzin.

* HarsherInHindsight: At the beginning of episode 6, Geki gets transported to a strange land by Guardian Beast Tyrannosaurus, and sees the toppled Tokyo Tower. Tokyo was badly rocked by an earthquake/tsunami many years later.

*** It's even funnier for abaranger's counterpart, Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder because thanks to CompositeCharacter, Tommy Oliver, Burai's occidental counterpart is on the same team as Trent, Abarekiller's counterpart. Some of the plotpoint about Trent are the same as Tommy (new kid in town, adopted child, became evil because he was brainwashed instead of being in full control of their action like Burai and Abarekiller...). Tommy was also a white ranger. And just like Tommy, Trent was SparedByAdaptation.

** Dragon Cesar being deeply devastated by [[spoiler: Burai's death]] has become this with the tragic death of Creator/JasonDavidFrank. Many fans of both Zyuranger and Power Rangers have used the scene of Dragon Cesar mourning [[spoiler: the loss of Burai]] as Dragon Zord now mourning the loss of Tommy.

** Eleven years later, in [[Series/BakuryuuSentaiAbaranger another dinosaur-themed Sentai]], a scenario where a [[EnsembleDarkhorse fan-favorite]] evil Sixth Ranger who wields a dagger as his WeaponOfChoice and pilots a [[DinosaursAreDragons dragon]] mech who later [[HeelFaceTurn turns good]] (but [[RedemptionEqualsDeath didn't live long enough]]) repeats again.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: The first segment of the full opening theme (which isn't played on the TV version, curiously enough) rips off various notes from the original ''Film/{{Total Recall|1990}}'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsUZ1aIp4OE theme]]. This was one of the arrangements done by Kenji Yamamoto, whose serial plagiarism got him fired from his role as composer for ''Anime/DragonBallZKai'' and got his soundtrack for the ''VideoGame/DragonBallZBudokai'' games replaced in the HD rerelease.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: The series is often considered LighterAndSofter than ''Jetman'''s drama-ladden story. Of course that's without taking consideration of some REALLY creepy stuffs Bandora go through in order to terrorize the children that she hates. Which up and up including snatching them outta nowhere as long as there's a reflection, [[AndIMustScream putting them in a suspended state inside a pillar with their faces visible, conscious all the time]], as they're to be sacrificed with the giant laughing head of a demon known as ''Dai Satan''. [[NightmareFuel Uh... yikes?]]

* ValuesDissonance: In "Become Small!", [[OneShotCharacter Toshio's]] overly strict teacher kicked him out of the school building for not doing his homework again. While it's true that in Japan, students are usually sent out of the classroom for misbehaving, but being kicked out of the school building just seemed a bit excessive.
