Line #8 Trivia/ChourikiSentaiOhranger


1	* BonusEpisode: ''[[Recap/ChourikiSentaiOhrangerSuperVideoMemberNotebook Chouriki Sentai Ohranger Super Video: Member Notebook]]'' was released with an issue of TV Magazine.
2	* CutSong:
3	** The show almost used [[https://youtu.be/2kArPA1MssY "See You Again"]] by KYOKO Sound Laboratory as its ending theme, but the demise of Nippon Columbia[[note]]Super Sentai music rights holders[[/note]] label Forte Music Entertainment prevented this from happening.
4	** On the other hand, while "Niji-iro Crystal Sky" by Kentaro Hayami was supposed to be the opening theme, it was ultimately used as an insert song, the ending theme to the finale, and the song that played during the ''Ohranger'' tribute fight in ''Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger''. Interestingly, this one was also composed by the aforementioned KYOKO.
5	* DistancedFromCurrentEvents: Before the series debuted, the Great Hanshin Earthquake occurred. During the series' first month on the air, the infamous Sarin subway attack perpetrated by the AUM cult occurred. As a result of these and other dark events, the show's dark storyline had to be toned down considerably.
6	* ExecutiveMeddling: A positive example. ''Olé vs. Kakuranger'' was originally conceived of as a simple special V-Cinema episode without any crossover, but then producer Susumu Yoshikawa suggested a team up with ''Series/NinjaSentaiKakuranger'', thus beginning the yearly Vs. Movie tradition.
7	* MilestoneCelebration: Only two years after the 15th anniversary was officially commemorated during ''Series/GoseiSentaiDairanger'' (then 15th series), ''Ohranger'' saw the celebration of 20 years since the premiere of ''Series/HimitsuSentaiGoranger'', the first anniversary to acknowledge ''Goranger'' and ''[[Series/JAKQDengekitai JAKQ]]'' as preceeding ''Series/BattleFeverJ''. This was highlighted in the trailer for TheMovie with a commemorative logo.
8	* PopCultureUrbanLegends: ''Ohranger'' [[FranchiseKiller nearly killed the]] ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' [[FranchiseKiller franchise]] and it's successor ''Series/GekisouSentaiCarranger'' saved it. In reality, that "honor" goes to ''Series/ChikyuuSentaiFiveman'' and ''Series/ChoujinSentaiJetman'', respectively. While it was true that ''Ohranger'' didn't have the best TV ratings with 4.452% to ''Fiveman'''s 6.49%, it had some of the best toy sales at the time with a whopping 15.9 billion yen to help offset that.
9	* RecycledScript:
10	** One episode involves Juri staging a [[FakeDefector fake defection]] to save her male teammates, just like [[Series/KousokuSentaiTurboranger Haruna Morikawa]] and [[Series/ChikyuuSentaiFiveman Kazumi Hoshikawa]] did before her. All three episodes were written by Toshiki Inoue.
11	** The debut episode of the Red Puncher has a plot almost identical to the debut of the [[Series/HikariSentaiMaskman Galaxy Robo]]. Hirohisa Soda wrote these episodes.
12	** Episode four has a plot that's eerily similar to episode three of ''Series/TokkyuuShireiSolbrain''. Both episodes were written by Noboru Sugimura.
13	* RoleReprise: Nobuo Tanaka returns as the narrator, having previously narrated ''Series/KousokuSentaiTurboranger'' six years earlier.
14	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
15	** As noted on the main page, the first few episodes are a LOT more DarkerAndEdgier by the end of the series. If the events under DistancedFromCurrentEvents hadn't happened, odds are that the show's tone wouldn't have been changed.
16	** As evident by the writing staff (which initially included Creator/ToshikiInoue), as well as the early tone, it's clear that the show was actually intended to be ''Series/ChoujinSentaiJetman'' 2.0.
17	** In addition to being turned from an ordinary V-Cinema to the first yearly Vs. Movie by ExecutiveMeddling mentioned above, ''Olé vs. Kakuranger'' originally only planned to bring back Teruaki Ogawa and Satomi Hirose as Sasuke/[=NinjaRed=] and Tsuruhime/[=NinjaWhite=], but the actors for the other three Kakurangers offered to come back, making it a full reunion.
