2	->''"The police and Self-Defense Force were powerless against evildoers hellbent on ruling the world. A new organization was created to defeat these villains... The Golden Warriors Treasure V: A team of five combat specialists. However, their drinking parties after battles became better known than the battles themselves, and they became known as the Cheers Soldiers, After V!"''

5	''Kanpai Senshi After V'' (''Cheers Warriors After V'') is a parody ''[[Franchise/SuperSentai Super Sentai]]'', which started on Japanese TV in 2014. It follows the late nights out of the {{Sentai}} hero team ''Golden Warriors Treasure V'', focusing on their drinking parties over their battles against evil. Their nights out consists of food and drinks at a restaurant which happens to be staffed by the villains they are fighting against, before heading to the karaoke bar.

7	The show currently consists of two 12 episode seasons, the second going by the name ''Shin Kanpai Senshi After V''. A 2015 fundraiser for the series successfully met its goal, which will eventually result in a third season and a movie, though no information about potential production or release dates have been announced yet.

9	!!Recurring Franchise/SuperSentai tropes:
10	* BigBad: Known as simply ''Commander'', he works as head chef at the restaurant the heroes go to after defeating his monsters.
11	* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Each of the heroes are associated with colors.
12	* ColorCodedSecretIdentity: This Sentai trope is played straight. As seen most notably in the opening sequence, our five heroes wear their associated colors outside of their suits.
13	* {{Eyecatch}}: Depicts a still image of the team similar to those of early Sentai.
14	* FiveManBand: Like the sentai series in general, this team is made up of five members.
15	* HenshinHero: It's clear that they ''are'' transforming heroes, since they're shown in civilian mode in the opening and have a TransformationTrinket (the Change Band), but during the show they almost always wear their hero suits.
16	* HumongousMecha: Treasure Robo, which is reminiscent of early 80s [[Franchise/SuperSentai giant robots]], particularly [[Series/DenshiSentaiDenziman DaiDenzin]] and [[Series/TaiyouSentaiSunVulcan Sun Vulcan Robo]].
17	* LawOfChromaticSuperiority: Like proper Sentai series, the Red hero is the leader of the team.
18	* MonsterOfTheWeek: Though unseen, they are fought by the heroes like your typical Sentai in the day before they go out at night. The team often recall their battles while at the restaurant.
19	* {{Mooks}}: Known as the ''Combatant'', the team are shown fighting them during the opening credits. One of them works with the Commander at the restaurant.
20	* OpeningNarration: See the top of the page.
21	* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Pink is the only woman in the FiveManBand, except during a period when Yellow is temporally replaced by a girl.
22	* TransformationTrinket: The Change Band, a simple brace changer as was the standard in Showa ''Super Sentai''.
23	* TwoGirlsToATeam: Temporary, Pink and New Yellow.

25	!!Tropes Present in ''Kanpai Senshi After V'':
26	%%* AllYourColorsCombined
27	%%* AllYourPowersCombined
28	* AscendedFanboy:
29	** Similar to [[Series/HikoninSentaiAkibaranger Nobuo Akagi]] and [[Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger Gai Ikari]], Red's position is a dream come true, having dreamed of being a superhero after being saved by one as a boy. Except he gets really disillusioned by his teammates really fast.
30	** Green, too, thinks this is a dream career, though for the wrong reasons (he just saw a regular ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' on TV and thought that them exploding the MonsterOfTheWeek was cool enough that he wanted to try that).
31	** New Yellow also aspires to be a senshi and bring hope to children too ever since she watch the heroes from TV.
32	* BaitAndSwitchCredits: The show's opening shows the characters actually fighting the enemies- the series itself does not.
33	* BewareTheNiceOnes: What happens when the usually timid Green is given alcohol.
34	* CantHoldHisLiquor: Episode 3 focuses on the disaster that ensues when Green is given a beer, which includes him knocking out the store manager with his boomerang.
35	* ColorCodedStones: Each ranger has a gem attached to their front that acts as their emblem. Episode 10 explores further with Yellow checking how authentic his gem is.
36	* CutLexLuthorACheck:
37	** Discussed right at Episode 1, when the heroes wonder from where the villains get resources to make so many different monsters.
38	---> '''Pink:''' Remember when we fought that monster that had breath that could dissolve anything?\
39	'''Red:''' Oh man, that was a close one...\
40	'''Pink:''' Think of how amazing it is. Creating a gas that can dissolve anything is impressive enough, but they made something that could breathe that material, so they probably spent a ton of money on it. I bet they could win a Nobel Prize if they wanted.
41	** In the second season, the opening narration declares that the evil organization's operations have spread throughout the world. It turns out that this involved opening a chain of villain-themed restaurants. However, the commander insists that they're meant to be potential bases for world domination.
42	* DistractedByTheSexy: When the new Yellow joins, the men on the team can't help but fawn over her cuteness, leaving Pink the only one feeling bad that the original Yellow has left.
43	* DudeWheresMyRespect: Basically what Red feels working with this team.
44	* NewSeasonNewName: The second season was named ''Shin[[note]]New[[/note]] Kanpai Senshi After V''.
45	* NoNameGiven: The members of Treasure V are only ever referred to by their color codenames, though everyone (except for Blue) calls Red "Leader".
46	* PeopleInRubberSuits: They ''outright'' say there are zippers on the monsters' backs. Blue states he opened one once, but he "cannot put it in words".
47	* ReplacementScrappy: Actually played with In-Universe. After a heart-warming last party before Yellow left, the team began to dread the anticipation of the arrival of the new Yellow, accepting the original Yellow as the only Yellow. Things change once the new Yellow arrives, when the guys immediately fawn over her, while Pink was mad. A few episodes later, the team has completely warmed up to her, however, the new Yellow has to take off for maternal leave, leaving the guys disappointed. Then, just as they were anticipating another cute girl to join as the next Yellow, the original one cord back, leaving the team disappointed.
48	* ScarfOfAsskicking: Part of the Treasure V uniforms, as per classic tokusatsu hero tradition.
49	* ShoutOut: The Combatant's uniform is similar to the solders of Shocker in ''Series/KamenRider'', particularly the lucha libre wrestling mask, he also addresses the Commander in the restaurant with "Eeee!" as soldiers of Shocker do.
50	* SpiritualSuccessor: To ''[[Series/HikoninSentaiAkibaranger Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger]]''. Though not produced by Creator/{{Toei}}, it took the place of ''[[Franchise/SuperSentai Super Sentai]]'' parody series and it did air during the same time Akibaranger's third season would have aired.
51	* StylisticSuck: The scene of Treasure Robo flying in the opening.
52	* TerritorialSmurfette: Pink when the new Yellow joins, due to missing the original Yellow while the men are [[Main/DistractedByTheSexy preoccupied fawning over the New Yellow's cuteness]].
53	* TokyoIsTheCenterOfTheUniverse: The team started to notice that monster only attack in Japan, Tokyo to be exact and speculate from there.
