9	!!This movie contains examples of the following tropes:
10	* AppliedPhlebotinum: Dino Hope, the transcendent power of the dinosaurs that is shared among the three Dino teams. Its EvilCounterpart is Wicked Life Energy, a malevolent force that Voldos needs to gain full power, made by corrupting Dino Hope.
11	* BackFromTheDead: Both [[Series/TokumeiSentaiGobusters Enter and Escape]] are brought back by a one-time Vaglass restoration program activated in response to Voldos's emergence. [[spoiler:The same program also brings back Masato temporarily, allowing him to fight with the Go-Busters again.]]
12	* BigBad: Space War God Voldos, who is said to have been born from the combined hatred of previous Big Bads [[Series/KyoryuSentaiZyuranger Great Satan]] and [[Series/BakuryuuSentaiAbaranger Wicked Life God Dezumozorlya]].
13	* CoDragons:
14	** As a being created from the hate of dinosaurs and Super Sentai, Voldos creates two generals based on those fought by the Zyurangers and Abarangers respectively: Neo-Grifforzer [[note]]Based on Grifforzer of the Bandora Gang, were all sealed after being defeated by the Zyurangers.[[/note]] and Neo-Geildon [[note]]Based on the Geildon of the Evolians, who gave his life to pass on the Cursed Armor.[[/note]].
15	** Enter & Escape are also a pair of CoDragons to Voldos, having been revived by a one-time restoration program that he activated.
16	* ContinuityNod: Hiromu thanked Daigo for helping out him and [[Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger Gokai Red]] before, a reference to him and his team's EarlyBirdCameo in ''[[Film/TokumeiSentaiGobustersVsKaizokuSentaiGokaigerTheMovie Go-Busters vs. Gokaiger]]'', not able to do so during ''[[Film/KamenRiderXSuperSentaiXSpaceSheriffSuperHeroTaisenZ Super Hero Taisen Z]]'' due to not having time to do so due to needing to focus on their enemies.
17	* DancingTheme: Wouldn't be a ''Kyoryuger'' movie without one, this time with not only the Go-Busters, but also the Kyoryuger and Go-Buster allies, the villains, and the previous dino teams.
18	* DemotedToDragon: The Vaglass are revived under the control of Voldos, with Enter & Escape becoming CoDragons to him alongside Neo-Grifforzer & Neo-Geilton.
19	* DemotedToExtra: [[ZigZaggedTrope Zig-Zagged]] with the Go-Busters. While this Vs. Movie breaks tradition by not having the Go-Busters actually transform and battle alongside the Kyōryūgers on the field (with that honor instead going to the other two dinosaur teams), they are not completely OutOfFocus, as they get plenty of screen time & action, and they do contribute to the plot.
20	* DesignatedGirlFight: Yoko and Amy team-up to fight Escape.
21	* DragonTheirFeet: [[spoiler:Neo-Geildon outlives his master and uses Messiah Card 13 to go OneWingedAngel and become Neo-Messiah, only to be defeated by the [[Series/ResshaSentaiToQger ToQgers]].]]
22	* EarlyBirdCameo: This movie also features the debut of ''Series/ResshaSentaiToQger''.
23	* EvilCostumeSwitch: The Kyoryugers sport black outerwear once they lose their Dino Hope.
24	* FakeShemp: Every Ranger gets a return from their original actor, but the Zyurangers other than Geki and Ranru only provide their voices rather than appearing out of suit.
25	* InTheNameOfTheMoon: Uniquely, the combined Vs. roll call is that of the Kyoryu Super Sentai, working backwards from Kyoryuger to Abaranger to Zyuranger. The Go-Busters do a roll call seperately.
26	* LegacyCharacter: Neo-Grifforzer and Neo-Geidon are "embodiment clones" of the original [[Series/KyoryuSentaiZyuranger Grifforzer]] and [[Series/BakuryuuSentaiAbaranger Geildon]]. [[spoiler:Neo-Geildon later uses the recreated [[Series/TokumeiSentaiGobusters Messiah Card 13]] to become an embodiment clone of Messiah, dubbed Neo-Messiah.]]
27	* MakeMyMonsterGrow: When the Kyōryūgers are giving Neo-Geildon trouble, Neo-Grifforzer jumps in and asks Voldos to help them out. Voldos enlarges Neo-Grifforzer to giant size to deal with them.
28	* {{Mooks}}: In addition to the Deboss Army's Zorima and the revived Vaglass' Buglers, Voldos has his own force of Bandora Golems and Evolian Barimas, forming one large foot soldier army.
29	* MythologyGag:
30	** This movie shares some similarities with ''Go-Busters vs. Gōkaiger''. The Kyōryūgers being forced to work for the villains (while wearing [[EvilCostumeSwitch new]] [[DarkIsEvil black]] outfits) and the use of time travel in the plot are examples. Also, this movie has a plot-relevant role reprise from [[Series/BakuryuuSentaiAbaranger Yukito Sanjō]], while ''Go-Busters vs. Gōkaiger'' had a plot-relevant role reprise from [[Series/SamuraiSentaiShinkenger Princess Kaoru Shiba]]. Both were their respective teams' representatives in those seasons' tribute episodes of ''[[Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger Gōkaiger]]''.
31	** Speaking of prior Vs. Movies, the above mentioned ContinuityNod is itself a MythologyGag to a ContinuityNod from a previous Vs. Movie. In ''Dekaranger vs. Abaranger'', the BigBad of that Vs. Movie briefly disguised himself as [[Series/NinpuuSentaiHurricaneger HurricaneRed]], who Ryōga recognized from the previous one, ''Abaranger vs. Hurricaneger''. In this Vs. Movie, Hiromu mentions Daigo helping him and [[Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger GōkaiRed]] in the previous Vs. Movie, ''Go-Busters vs. Gōkaiger''. Both this Vs. Movie and ''Dekaranger vs. Abaranger'' contained a mention to the red ranger from the season before the two featured ones. Coincidentally, all of the mentioned Vs. Movies featured some element of the [[Series/BakuryuuSentaiAbaranger Abarangers]]' series.
32	** Speaking of ''Abaranger'', the evil essence that Voldos feeds on, Wicked Life Energy, is probably named after the full title of ''[[Series/BakuryuuSentaiAbaranger Abaranger]]'''s BigBad, Wicked Life God Dezumozorlya, who was one of Voldos's predecessors.
33	** [[RuleOfThree Speaking of]] villains who preceded Voldos, when Voldos [[MakeMyMonsterGrow enlarges]] Neo-Grifforzer to giant size, he does it by sending to the ground a wand just like [[Series/KyoryuSentaiZyuranger Witch Bandora]]'s wand (which incidentally is the source material for the TropeNamer, [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers Rita Repulsa's magic wand]]).
34	** [[OverlyLongGag Speaking of]] indirect references to ''Power Rangers''...
35	*** Geki's updated transformation sequence is reminiscent of the one [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers Adam Park]] had in ''[[Series/PowerRangersOperationOverdrive Once a Ranger]]''.
36	*** Neo-Grifforzer calling out the forces of Voldos for the climactic battle is translated by one fan sub as, "Come forth, our [[Series/PowerRangersInSpace united alliance of evil]]!"
37	* OutOfFocus: Downplayed. Compared with the Kyoryugers and dino teams, the Go-Busters don't get a whole lot of significant focus in the actual team-up fight and climax, but they do contribute significantly to the plot progression due to their actions and help out the Kyoryugers with the final mecha fight.
38	* PaintItBlack: To signal that the Kyoryugers have turned evil ''all of them'' decide to take a piece out of Ian's wardrobe.
39	* SealedEvilInACan: Voldos is initially sealed in some sort of asteroid, and he needs Wicked Life Energy in order to properly revive.
40	* SpotlightStealingCrossover: The movie is heavily marketed on the novelty of the three dinosaur Sentai teaming up and battling alongside each other, leaving the Go-Busters largely uninvolved with the team-up battle that is the main selling point of the Vs. Movies. As if to compensate for this, the rest of the movie outside of the actual team-up battle gives plenty of screentime and focus to the Go-Busters, with them taking an active role in advancing the plot leading up to the team-up and getting a respectable amount of action scenes of their own, including the very first action scene and several BigDamnHeroes moments.
41	* TheStinger: The movie has the [=ToQgers=] making their appearance... after the end credits. Makes you wonder how many people in theaters missed their cameo.
42	* TransformationSequence: Rare for a Vs. movie, the Kyoryugers use their stock footage transformations, while [=TyrannoRanger=] and [=AbaRed=] both had new sequences filmed for the movie.
43	* VersusTitle: In this case, the Vs. element comes from [=TyrannoRanger=] and [=AbaRed=] showing up BrainwashedAndCrazy, followed by the Kyoryugers. Also we get a fight scene between the five Kyoryugers and Enter's Evil Red Buster form.
44	* VillainTeamUp: As well as raising an army created from the hatred of the Zyurangers' and Abarangers' old enemies, Voldos allies with both the revived Vaglass and the Deboss Army.
45	* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: During the Go-Busters' first meeting with Torin, Hiromu starts getting nervous due to his resemblance to a chicken.
