- We are...Super Sentai!!
Super Sentai Vs Super Sentai is a massive fic project based on the Super Sentai series made by Chris X (other pen names include Bloody Tears or Neo Juste Belmont). Or specifically, the (insert Sentai series here) vs Super Sentai. It's separated between two fics: One is the original, and one is the 'Another' story, each containing different teams of Super Sentai.
Note: As this was created during the run of Tensou Sentai Goseiger, you should not expect the Goseigers or any team after them to appear.
While the backstory is pretty convoluted, it revolves about how AkaRed actually having his own Super Sentai team where he fought against Rufecil. He drew energies from the Super Sentai teams (who are usually victorious), while Rufecil drew energies from the Super Sentai villains. Eventually, Rufecil is sealed for the umpteenth time and this time, AkaRed and friends decided to separate the keys to Rufecil's seal into two sets of timelines between the Sentai series, one ranging from Goranger to Jetman, the rest from Zyuranger and forward (reasoning speculated that the barrier was made between which Sentai has had a Power Rangers counterpart), and the residents of both worlds cannot see the key pieces, just so the seal can never be opened. Travel between both timelines were also disabled thanks to a time and space barrier set up. The key pieces can be seen by someone from the opposite timeline. EG: The Zyurangers may be able to see and use the piece from the Goranger-Jetman worlds. Problem is, even they can't get into those worlds.
However, when Kamen Rider Decade entered the Shinkenger world, the time and space barrier began to crack. Enough for Rufecil to re-insert bits of his influence into the world (ONORE, DICKEIDO)...
When Takeru Shiba AKA Shinken Red was taking care of a Gedoushuu remnant, the world suddenly turned bizarre and he had to uncover the mystery behind it, alone, without his fellow vassals, but he is helped with several old school Sentai warriors, who are surprisingly also missing their friends. Initially, it consists of Youhei Hama/Blue Turbo, Miki Momozono/Goggle Pink, Gai Yuuki/Black Condor and Sayaka Nagisa/Change Mermaid. However, this is later expanded with the addition of Remi Hoshikawa/Five Yellow and Dai/Green Flash. However, he also received opposition of a team of villains consisting Count Radiguet, Queen Ahames, Fuwa Juzou, Mazurka and Bouma Princess Jarmin, and it later expands with the addition of Doldora and Great Doctor Lee Keflen. However, further to the battle, Takeru's vassal Mako Shiraishi/Shinken Pink became entangled to the battle and joined him.
However, the incident does not affect only one world. A year after the defeat of the Emperor Zeba of the Tube Empire, an uprising led by a Doggler monster unsatisfied with Princess Iyal's peaceful rule. The remaining Maskman who were still side by side with Commander Sugata, Takeru/Red Mask and Momoko/Pink Mask, investigated about the Doggler Monster and stopped him before he could do anything else. But, at that time, the same incident happened, throwing Takeru alone to the bizarre world, whereas he'd meet Sentai warriors ahead of his time and had to work together, uncovering the mysteries behind it on his own. The allies of Takeru currently consists Hoji Tomasu/Deka Blue, Mei/Ptera Ranger, Jiraiya/Ninja Black and Chisato Jougasaki/Mega Yellow, and recently the team seemed to increase with the addition of Rin Jyuu Chameleon Ken Mistress Mele and Mikoto Nakadai/Abare Killer'''. They're also opposed by a team of villains consisting at first Agent Abrellar, Thief Knight Kiros, Lamie, Gasha Dokuro and Shibolena... until eventually, Long arrived and usurped leadership from the villains, and even was joined by a Brainwashed and Crazy Lijewel. Like the first team, Momoko was eventually thrown into the world and after a little misunderstanding, she also joined Takeru's entourage.
This series was ongoing for quite some time, but at the year 2012, the author suddenly went on a MASSIVE hiatus. When suddenly, in 2015, a new chapter is finally uploaded.
The first team's story can be read here. Chapters uploaded: 30
The second team's story can be read here. Chapters uploaded: 30
This page is under HEAVY construction and will be updated in time. As does the character sheets.
Compare Super Sentai vs. Power Rangers which was also a similar 'dream team' fic, but in a larger scale, not as serious, and not well-written.
Recurring Tropes of Super Sentai found in these fics:
- All Your Powers Combined: Most finishers, thus far includes unleashing their special moves together. Until the Super Sentai Ball is introduced.
- Home Base: Kizuna, an airship for the first team. Bonds, an underground base for the second team.
- In the Name of the Moon: After using their respective roll calls, they'd end with "We are...Super Sentai!"
- Law of Chromatic Superiority: The Red warriors (both Takerus) are the only one with exclusive purpose in their respective worlds, while the other warriors share.
- Make My Monster Grow:
- Averted. The universe worked as if such abilities for the enemies are muted. On the other hand, the heroes have no access to their respective Humongous Mecha either. Radiguet did attempt on bringing back Guardnoid Gash's Giga Phantom to tilt the chance for the villains, but failed.
- The second team's Chapter 14 inverts this, as rather than having a monster grow large, the monster instead shrunk everyone it came across.
- Monster of the Week: A grand usage/combination of Ayakashi, Bouma, Mozoo, (Bio) Dimensional Beasts, Space Beasts, Galactic Warriors and Beast Warriors (and let's not even get to the combinations possible thanks to Doldora) for the first team. And also a combo of Underground/Doggler Beasts, Alienizers, Dora Monsters, Youkai, Nejire Beasts, Rinrinshi and Trinoid for the second team
- Supervillain Lair: A dimensional base, based on the Vyram's dimension for the first team; and for the second team, a tech-rennovated Bandora's Castle.
Tropes associated with Super Sentai Vs Super Sentai (Both teams, but not recurring ones):
- Alternate Universe: The stories takes place in an alternate universe that takes several Sentai warriors from various timelines and mash them in one place.
- Back from the Dead: The villains came back from being beaten, mostly. Also, Gai. Wrong at first, but he gets better. In a subversion, it turns out he's Dead All Along. Also Mele and Mikoto.
- Bad Boss: Radiguet is really dismissive and not really appreciating to his allies. Long, on the other hand, frequently abuses his teammates.
- Beauty, Brains, and Brawn: For the core team girls, the Beauty is the one who usually uses her Master of Disguise asset well (and usually is The Heart), the Brains is the one who uses her brain well, and the Brawns is the Tomboys. For the 1st and 2nd teams respectively...
- Beauty: Miki, Mei
- Brains: Sayaka, Chisato (she's a little more tech-savvy and helps Hoji in technological things)
- Brawn: Remi, Mele
- The Cameo: Yukito Sanjou/Abare Blue appears in a flashback for Team 2. Chiron/Seelon also appeared shortly for a bit of inspiration-based Deus ex Machina and a Foreshadowing. Then Geki/Tyranno Ranger makes a cameo at the end of Team 2's Chapter 19. There's also a small cameo of Basco ta Jolokia via nightmare.
- Distant Finale: Every character came from a set of time after their respective battles were over, and get thrown to the alternate universe.
- Elemental Powers:
- First team:
- Playing with Fire/Shock and Awe: Takeru
- Blow You Away: Miki, Mako
- Making a Splash: Sayaka
- Second team:
- Dishing Out Dirt: Jiraiya
- Playing with Fire: Mele (only after she re-absorbs her old Gen Jyuu Phoenix-Ken powers.)
- Allies:
- Holy Hand Grenade: Ryuu
- Making a Splash: Sakura, Nanami
- First team:
- First-Name Basis:
- First team: Dai
- Second team: Takeru and Jiraiya.
- Guest-Star Party Member: Each team have at least one character outside their series who'll temporarily help them in their quest:
- First team: Yuusuke Amamiya/Red Falcon, Ryuu Hoshikawa/Dyna Black, Jun Yabuki/Yellow Four II.
- Second team: Sakura Nishihori/Bouken Pink, Nanami Nono/Hurricane Blue, Daigo/Shishiranger
- Momoko/Pink Mask appeared in the first chapter on the 2nd team and later assisted the 1st team in the 22nd chapter. This extends to Mako in the 2nd team's 21st chapter. Both later end up joining their respective Takerus for real, not as a Guest.
- Though not to be a permanent one, in Chapter 26 of the 2nd team, the team got to Hell where Black Lion Rio helped them out.
- Massive Multiplayer Crossover: A Heisei Sentai hero is dropped in with a team of Showa Sentai heroes and vice versa.
- Mid-Season Upgrade: Yuusuke and Sakura give the respective teams a Super Sentai Ball before leaving.
- Noble Birdof Prey: Gai (Condor), Yuusuke (Falcon).
- King of Beasts: Daigo and Rio are both themed around a Lion
- Our Mermaids Are Different: Sayaka’s motif, retained from her own series.
- Mr. Exposition: Akihiro and Hiroaki, who vanished after doing their job (it's just a hologram). Pretty justified because the author admits that he's bad at making Original Generation characters.
- Once an Episode: Once per chapter, once the core team is assembled, role calls following with "We are...Super Sentai!" become mandatory
- Super Mode:
- First team:
- Takeru: Super Shinken Red
- Mako: Super Shinken Pink
- Second team:
- Houji: SWAT Mode
- Mikoto: Abare Mode
- First team:
- Signing-Off Catchphrase: "Fight, Super Sentai!" or similar words to that effect. It appears on pretty much at the end of every chapter. That was actually based on how the franchise did something very similar during the earlier run, especially the Hirohisa Soda era.
- Theme Naming: The backstory reveals that AkaRed has similarly-named allies: AoBlue, MidoGreen, KiYellow, MomoPink, KuroBlack and their Mentor ShiroWhite
- Time Travel: Sort of. This is what the heroes thought they're experiencing, until they realize it's an Alternate Universe.
- Tomboy and Girly Girl:
- The team usually has two girly girls and one tomboy. First team has Miki and Sayaka being the Girly Girls with Remi as the Tomboy. Second team has Mei (although she still is the Tomboy with her rival Lamie) and Chisato as the Girly Girls with Mele as the Tomboy. Note: Girly Girls join first, Tomboys get to be the Sixth Ranger.
- If the guests of the second team would count, then Sakura as the Tomboy, Nanami as the Girly Girl (Jun is the sole girl in the first team's guests).
- "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: For those who doesn't appear in this work, they will be told about what they are doing as of 'now'.
Tropes associated to the chapters of the first team:
- Accidental Pervert: Gai repeats the same thing he did to Ryuu in Jetman's hot spring scene to Youhei. Unfortunately for him, the girls learn about this and made sure he's punished for it.
- All Up to You: Chapter 15 is this for Youhei. And as of Chapter 27, this is for all the girls.
- And I Must Scream: The one struck with the gas of the monster of Chapter 26-27 will turn to stone, unable to do anything, stuck there as they feel that the worms are eating their very body and inside and reshaping it to The Worm That Walks.
- Asshole Victim: The Neidermeyer General Ichijou becomes a monster in Chapter 19, but because he's becoming a bigger asshole who's asking it for himself, he was killed like a monster.
- Badass in Distress: Happens quite a lot, with the female heroes being captured.
- Miki, at the hands of Porcupine-Gunman Bouzoo in Chapter 15.
- Sayaka at the hands of Ahames and Lee Keflen in Chapter 17.
- Beach Episode: Chapter 26. And it goes downhill from there, with Radiguet launching his biggest plan ever.
- Break the Cutie: Hoo boy. Chapter 11 breaks Miki BIG TIME. Her long lost mother starts spouting hateful words to her, transforms into a Villain-Possessed Bystander, tries to kill her and then ends up dead at Radiguet’s hands after being restored to normal.
- Butt-Monkey: Each boys had their share of being one (The exception so far being Dai).
- Call-Back: Remember Radiguet's one-time Morality Pet? Turns out she had a brother, who now despises Radiguet (especially his disguised form), and ends up telling Gai about his crossing of
Moral Event Horizon, making him uncover the truth about Radiguet's disguise.
- Character Development: Takeru confronted his fear of that one haunted house (which was never addressed further in the original series) and got over it by chapter 7.
- Chekhov's Gun: Miki's Pink Mirror comes in handy at one point, reflecting a monster’s attack back at it.
- Cross Dresser: Implied to happen to the boys at the end of the 8th chapter, and in the next chapter, Takeru is forced to cross-dress again. Bridgets are dropped on Miki.
- Combination Attack: By chapter 5, the team learns to combine their attacks together. And then, in Chapter 27, both Pinks (Goggle and Shinken) combine their wind powers for Dual Pink Cyclone.
- Cool Big Sis: Mako is on the way to 'become one' for Miki.
- Cool Old Guy: Being the oldest of the bunch, Gai ends up as one, though he's not that old.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: Once Gai gets back to his senses, he proceeds to beat the crap out of the monster that brainwashed him, without the help of Takeru, Youhei or Miki.
- Distracted by the Sexy:
- Utilized by the ladies to get out of the enemy base.
- Miki purposely flashed her panties while in that fencer dress in chapter 8, which not only distracted the Monster Of The Chapter, but also Gai and Youhei (Takeru was Genre Savvy enough to close his eyes before that happens)
- Dual Wielding, Gun Fu: Youhei started developing this style by dual wielding his Turbo Laser and J-Gun.
- Face–Heel Turn: Mako Shiraishi appeared and apparently sided with Radiguet...against her will since her parents were being held hostage.
- Fanservice: Chapter 24 ends with Miki bandaging Mako's back while she's near-topless. The justification is that she had to bandage Mako's back wounds while she was tortured during her time with Radiguet. She still got her boobs covered (with either bra, sarashi or one of the bandages used to her).
- Faking the Dead: Used as a strategy. Takeru creates figures of dead Miki and Gai using Mojikara to fool Ahames and Lee Keflen...while the real Miki and Gai rescued Sayaka.
- Foreshadowing:
- Surely, those red insectoid Mooks at the end of chapter 16 doesn't mean a thing...
- During the battle against Future Doggler, the monster foreshadowed the events of Goseiger vs Shinkenger, where Takeru gets Brainwashed and Crazy by Bladerun.
- Chapter 25 seems to foreshadow one big Darkest Hour..., which comes into play in the next chapter.
- Full-Frontal Assault: Youhei and Miki, while trying to Hanging Our Clothes to Dry after being dropped at the sea, suddenly got themselves surrounded by Mooks and have to fight them in their underwear.
- Giant Squid: Technically, it's an octopus, but Remi is attacked by one in Act 17.
- Gratuitous English: Invoked by a Space Beast that tried attacking Dyna Black saying "DIE DIE DIE DIE DYNAMAN!", which is actually one of the possible mondegreens of the Dynaman theme song.
- He-Man Woman Hater: Ironically hit Youhei in the 9th chapter, in which thanks to a cake made by the villains, he started developing an unhealthy fear to women.
- Heroic BSoD:
- Takeru fell to it after failing to prevent the trope below. It takes the socking, scolding of the rest of the teammates (recent newcomer Remi included) to get him straight again.
- Gai fell for it after being revealed that he's Dead All Along. Ryuu snapped him out from it.
- Youhei also fell for it after being revealed that yet another childhood friend was slain by Jarmin, the concept of Turboranger fighting for nature looked like a Hypocrite for drawing power from vehicles that contribute in polluting nature, and eventually the destruction of his Turbo Brace. Most of them got fixed.
- Heroic Sacrifice: Sayaka in 12th chapter, gets herself to a black hole with near-zero chance to return to close it. She gets better.
- Hooked Up Afterwards: According to Youhei, some time after defeating the Bouma; his friends Riki/Red Turbo and Haruna/Pink Turbo started dating. Youhei backs down even though he once had feelings for her.
- Hostile Show Takeover: At least in Author's note. Radiguet hijacks the author's note, 'killing' him mid-typing and turns it into 'Radiguet's note' to give a forthcoming message on the doom of Super Sentai.
- Impossibly-Low Neckline: Miki's fencer dress in chapter 8 reveals her shoulders.
- Jade-Colored Glasses: Miki came from a lighter and softer Sentai series. Witnessing how later Sentai enemies do their job (with killing) made her aware on just how naive she was.
- Kick the Dog:
- If you read Jarmin's
Moral Event Horizon entry in the Turboranger page, she makes it worse by telling Youhei that she actually revels in doing such horrific action, which caused him even more anguish.
- Juzou goes further by
stating in details how he doesn't care about his parents and only wants to kill people, all after cutting down Miki, who tried to appeal his humanity, and telling her that she's completely naive and weak. This somewhat pressed Takeru's Berserk Button.
- Jarmin goes up for another dog-kicking when she revealed that she tortured Youhei's childhood friend. And that's before she and Ahames captured around 1000 men to be 'sacrificed'.
- If you read Jarmin's
- Lethal Chef: In Fiveman, Remi's horrid housework skills were just All There in the Manual, here, it gets shown along with horrid cooking. There's also Mako...
- Luke, You Are My Father: Chapter 19 revolves around Dai finding his father that we never get to find in Flashman.
- Manipulative Bastard: Radiguet in Chapter 10. He re-used his human form to seduce Sayaka and created a tension between her and the team, and when there's an opening, he tried to kill her.
- Master of Disguise: In chapter 8, Miki actually uses quick-change costume in battle (rather than in the series).
- The Mole: Gai becomes this in the 6th chapter due to frustration and distrust. He changed his mind and the team welcomed him back.
- Mysterious Protector: For now, this seems to be the 'role' for Yuusuke in Chapter 15. Not so much in he later episodes.
- My God, What Have I Done?: Invoked by Sayaka after she realized that the man she loved was Radiguet in disguise.
- My Greatest Failure: Youhei's failure to save that one Monster of the Week that Jarmin killed while she crossed her
Moral Event Horizon continued to haunt him, turning it into his Berserk Button.
- Near-Villain Victory: At Chapter 26, Radiguet was victorious. The girls were all in his captivity, the boys suffered Fate Worse than Death and Earth is free for his further invasion. At Chapter 27...thanks to insubordination of Juzou and Jarmin, the girls were freed and set everything right
- Not So Stoic: After seeing the crossing of
Moral Event Horizon, Takeru finally loses his composure and lets out a rage unusual for him.
- Of Corsets Sexy: Miki wears a corset in chapter 8.
- Ordinary High-School Student: Youhei has long graduated since Turboranger, but before going back to action, Miki is this.
- Please Put Some Clothes On: Uttered by Dai to Miki during the Full-Frontal Assault scene, since the sight of her fighting in her underwear was distracting. She eventually did.
- Plucky Girl: Again, Miki. She saw through new brutalities and even gets horribly wounded by Juzou, but despite her wounds, she still resolved to fight and not be a burden.
- Pretty Boy: Apparently, Chevalier attracts ladies beyond his grave, as proven by Miki, Mako, Mazurka and Jarmin. And Doldora noted that even Ahames would swoon over him if she saw him.
- Replacement Scrappy: In-universe. Remi's big worry was that she thought the team didn't acknowledge her as much as Sayaka, and only saw her as a replacement. She's proven wrong.
- Ship Tease: Chapter 20 teases Gai-Sayaka big time, but they really agree not to make it romantic.
- Shout-Out: The monster in Chapter 23 can enlarge his body to the point of absorbing punches...kinda similar to Mr. Heart.
- The Strategist: Sayaka, seems moreso than in the actual series.
- Sugar-and-Ice Personality: Takeru is much more mellow compared to a Tsundere than in his original series. Then again, we have the Character Development to blame.
- Squick: An In-Universe example. As much as Radiguet's plan in Chapter 26 is effective, Ahames, Mazurka and Doldora were still pretty disgusted for seeing The Worm That Walks. Even Lee Keflen was surprised as the disgust level (and in a subversion of Even Evil Has Standards, he claims that he's pretty okay with the strategy, but seeing it will still disgust him).
- Tender Tears:
- Miki, after hearing Youhei's anguish, shed one for the dead Bell Chime Bouma. Then again, after piling up sad moments in Chapter 8, first against those killed by Gedoushuu, and later for Juzou's parents after he made it clear what kind of person he is. Then AGAIN, when she was anguished seeing Youhei being inflicted with fear of women, which turned vital in getting him to get over his fear.
- Everyone shed one for Miki after seeing her mother killed. Takeru uses something else.
- Thanks for the Mammary: Gai accidentally squeezed Miki's boobs while trying to hold her off...then ran with it.
- Took a Level in Jerkass: Commander Ichijou of the Neo Jetman returns...and he's even worse. He also receives some sort of God complex in the process.
- Threatening Shark: A shark first greeted Youhei and Miki the moment they entered Dai's verse, while the Monster of the Chapter's first creature to conjure to signify that the team's in big trouble was a Great White Shark.
- Wham Episode: Chapter 26. Radiguet unleashes his master plan which comes closer to victory than anything else and Jarmin and Juzo begin to act against him in secret.
- The Worm That Walks: Chapter 26's monster, with an evil MacGuffin power, is capable of turning a human into one.
- Wouldn't Hit a Girl: A flaw of Youhei, which gets revealed and abused by a Monster of the Week.
- Wise Beyond Their Years: Most people couldn't believe at first that someone as mature as Miki is just 18 years old.
-
You Look Familiar: Thought by Remi when seeing Dai (considering Dai's actor played Chevalier in Fiveman). Likewise, Miki first thought Ryuu was Kanpei Kuroda/Goggle Black ([since they're played by the same actor)
- You Shall Not Pass!: Invoked by Red Falcon as he held off both Radiguet and Juzou.
Tropes associated to the chapters of the second team:
- Accidental Pervert: Hoji accidentally gets mistaken as trying to strip Mei when all he wanted is to see her Dino Buckler. And again when he accidentally mistook Mei's disguise's skill as some monster trying to attack her and ended up seeing her in the undies.
- All Myths Are True: In particular at Chapter 18, the myth of Pinocchio and the Pleasure Island is real over here, and that the Alienizer of that chapter was in fact the same Coachman who became a Karma Houdini in the original story...and has done similar thing in multiple planets.
- And There Was Much Rejoicing: Once Long apparently bit the dust, the villains celebrated that they won't have to put up with him again. Subverted that they forgot Long is immortal. Here We Go Again!...
- Anti-Villain: Dark Shadow turns into this as Gekkou revealed his reasons for Dark Shadow's thievery: to return to its roots as an honorable ninja clan in the past. They just needs big cash.
- Back-to-Back Badasses: Takeru and Hoji showcase this at times. Later, Mei and Chisato.
- Blah, Blah, Blah: How Mikoto interrupts the cheesy Transformation Name Announcement routine...Red Mask: Even though we—
Abare Killer: Blah, Blah, Blah, we are Super Sentai! (cue explosion and everyone looking at him funny) - Brainwashed and Crazy: Shell Nejire's ability, which is admittedly and purposely based on Maskman's Armor Doggler.
- Call-Back: Chapter 8 is this to Dekaranger Episode 37, with Hoji’s former girlfriend being possessed by the Monster of the Week.
- Cat Fight: Dark Action Girl Mele vs Dark Action Girl Shizuka. Draw.
- Cooldown Hug: Mei has become fond with this, as she demonstrated to Hoji, an alien and lately Mele.
- Damsel in Distress:
- Mei at the fourth chapter including getting tied up. She gets kidnapped again into Long's custody thanks to Top Galer. However, in any time she's kidnapped, she can take care of herself.
- In chapter 15, nearly everyone got this treatment.
- Gasha Dokuro and the Youkai corps has a tendency to do this since the Kakurangers spent a lot of time being tied up in the original series. Abrellar eventually lampshades this.
- Flip-flopped in Chapter 18: At first it looks like Jiraiya is the Distressed Dude and Chisato is out to save him, but then she ends up kidnapped and became the Damsel in Distress. Jiraiya got back to his senses and tried saving her...and failed. Then both of them were put in distress, until Takeru bailed them out.
- Both Mikoto and Mele end up in distress at Chapter 27.
- Deadpan Snarker: Jiraiya leers to this at times, especially when Hoji spouts out his Gratuitous English. Chisato, Mele and Mikoto also had these moments.
- Deliberately Distressed Damsel: Nanami, cornered, ends up being held captive rather than resisting further, which is part of her plan to infiltrate the enemy base and find out the enemy weakness.
- Face–Heel Turn: Momoko returned in Chapter 21...on Long's side, and unlike Mako, it's More than Mind Control. She overcomes it.
- Fake Defector: In the 6th chapter, Jiraiya pretends to have surrendered and even captured Chisato to find out the weakness of the Monster of the Week. All staged, worked without a hitch.
- Foreshadowing:
- Chisato DID appear in Chapter 4 before her official introduction in Chapter 5. And if the appearance of Top Galer from Chapters 14 to 16 doesn't scream 'Mikoto is the last member'...
- Chapter 21 adds up with a dream of Takeru getting the Maskman power stolen by Basco.
- Chapter 22 adds a possibility that the next cameo team would be from Dairanger and Long could be aiming to topple Daijinryuu.
- "Freaky Friday" Flip: Chapter 28 has one between Momoko and Jiraiya and several other civilians and animals, all part of the work of Monster of the Week.
- Girls Are Really Scared of Horror Movies: Subverted. Mei and Chisato ARE scared of The Ring-like horror movie Jiraiya brought...but so is Takeru. Later, turns out Jiraiya was also scared, but hid it well enough. He confessed in the end. Hoji was the only one unaffected, because he's watched that kind of movie so many times in the past.
- Go-Go Enslavement: Practically defined the Garment of Kushinada. Which is worn by Mei. Chisato also gets to wear a similar thing in 18.
- Gratuitous English: Like usual, Hoji. Jiraiya eventually called him out for it. Eventually subverted in Chapter 25, Hoji secretly has been training and shows that when he wanted, he could speak good English.
- Handshake Substitute: At one point, Takeru does a Bro Fist with Hoji.
- Heroic BSoD:
- Mele snapped hard when 'Rio' (Actually Long in disguise) betrayed her.
- Takeru broke down when he learnt Momoko had a Face–Heel Turn and stated that his other friends are 'dead', until Hoji socked him on the face and Mikoto revealed that those friends can't possibly dead because he never met them in the afterlife.
- Hot-Blooded: Takeru, just like he was in his own series.
- I Broke a Nail: Uttered hysterically by Youkai Onibaba, when she blocked Mei's kick with a nail...destroying them.
- Interrupted Cooldown Hug: Happened to Dora Catsith at Chapter 19 when Mei nearly got it to do a Heel–Face Turn.
- Invincible Villain: Long so far, due to more screentime of his more truer evil nature, and boy does he spend his times to rub it in the heroes' faces.
- Irony: Mei's original task is to protect the dinosaurs. However, she ended up helping destroying one to protect the innocents.
- It's Not You, It's My Enemies: How Hoji makes peace with his former flame at the conclusion of Chapter 8.
- Killed Off for Real: BOTH Maboroshi no Gekkou and Kaze no Shizuka are killed.
- Love Hurts: Chapter 8, wherein Hoji’s ex Serena is possessed by Vengeance Doggler and turned against him. Poor Hoji.
- Mind Rape: How Long pulled the More than Mind Control on Momoko. Needless to say, Hoji considers it equally as vile as actual rape.
- Mood Whiplash: In a way, Chapter 14. A seemingly lighthearted chapter in an attempt to
restore the status of the Ultraman Expy Igrec (also including Mele bonding with a human child)...and at the end, all of a sudden, Top Galer appears and kidnaps Mei, giving her to Long & his team. And Sakura appears.
- More than Mind Control: Momoko was half-brainwashed, half-manipulated into believing that Takeru left the rest of Maskmen for the dead.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Chapter 5 had Chisato destroying an enemy device that she thought would stop the enemy's plot...but instead accelerated the plot.
- Not-So-Harmless Villain: Jiraiya describes Chapter 28's Monster of the Week as just a "shadowy woman that startles people inside their houses"...and then she starts suddenly swapping Jiraiya's and Momoko's bodies based on their being startled and mutating the animals she swaps to target the team.
- Only One Name: Unlike Takeru and Jiraiya, whose surnames were just never mentioned, Mei and Mele do not have any surnames at all.
- The Psycho Rangers: Not only does Neji Yellow return, but Long (through Lamie) also makes an evil Sentai like a new formation of Nejirangers for the Super Sentai, which includes Tube Red, Alien Blue, Dora Pink, Youkai Black, Gen Green, Evo White. The team's name? Kyoufuu Sentai Kyoukingers
- Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: In-universe as well. After the events of Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger episode 8, the hero Igrec (the Ultraman Expy) was no longer a well-loved icon thanks to the Evoliens' plot. After the battle with Zeta Doggler (who looked like Zetton), in which Mele, of all people, dressed like Igrec and fought against the monster and winning, Igrec's reputation is restored.
- Shout-Out:
- Jiraiya uses a Chuck Norris-style roundhouse kick from Way of the Dragon
- Per the Dekaranger Shout-Out Theme Naming, most Alienizers' name are based on names on the western media:
- Goonian Jarkjinbars is an anagram of Jar Jar Binks
- Calconian Finix is a pun of Cacofonix
- Angelonian Michael/Michael of the Angelo Planet is...well...
- The Zeta Doggler is based on one of Ultraman's most famous enemy Zetton.
- Sasuegami, the 'disguised' Tsukumogami of Dark Shadow is based on Goggle Robo, which had no representative in Boukenger.
- To The Princess Bride: "Hello!. I am Kaze no Shizuka of the Dark Shadow. You killed Gekkou-sama. Prepare to Die."
- Chapter 18 is filled with this. Starting from the whole Pinocchio reference, there's also Leia's slave outfit worn by Chisato, as well as Mikoto tossing an enemy to the cliff while 'promising' safety and then stated "I Lied".
- Chapter 19, Mei found a cat that she named after Geki/Tyranno Ranger, who had a bad habit to biting Takeru when he tried to pet him...same way like how Kamineko-Sakaki relationship goes
- Chapter 25 is chock full of this, heavily quite based on both the Delusional Import episode and Power Rangers:
- First, the director 'Clint Gilleron', much like George Spielburton, is a name combination of Clint Eastwood, Terry Gilliam and James Cameron
- The Strength Knights are off shoots of the whole Power Rangers, or particularly... the Powerful Rangers, though instead of being bullies, they were instead sympathetic self-aware former heroes group in great sorrow that such 'fan wars' destroyed the world they were being watched... by their own creator.
- The code-names of the Strength Knights are the initials of the identities the Power Rangers counterparts of the involved Sentai characters (X-KH -> Kimberly Hart, X-ST -> Sky Tate, X-C -> Corcus, X-AH -> Ashley Hammond). For bonus, before she nearly disappeared, the first two letters of X-KH's real name was "Ki".
- Chapter 25 is chock full of this, heavily quite based on both the Delusional Import episode and Power Rangers:
- Sssssnake Talk: A Rinshi named Dokomo speaks like this.
- Suddenly Voiced: Or suddenly talking. Daijinryuu didn't speak in the original series. But here, he speaks. Though with fellow immortals, so it might make sense that he didn't speak to mortals.
- Taking the Bullet: Mikoto pulls this on Nanami and thereby preventing her to get whisked away from the world with the rest of the team.
- Tempting Fate:Deka Blue: Almost there! Just hope that there's nothing like a jet stream of flame coming from there![at the end of the tunnel, they did find one and dodged]
—>Mega Yellow: You Just Had to Say It, didn't you? - Token Evil Teammate: Mele, although she's less evil now. Also Mikoto.
- Training from Hell: Does anyone remember what Ryo went through to stand up against Jin? Because Daigo subjected the same to Takeru in Chapter 27.
- Undressing the Unconscious: After being dropped into the sea, Youhei rescues the unconscious Miki and has to take off her wet clothes to prevent her getting sick. He actually dwells on the idea of her waking up to him undressing her and misinterpreting things but does it anyway.
- The Usurper: Once Long made his appearance known to the bad guys, he proceeded to kick every of the bad guys' asses and forcefully took over the leadership spot from Abrellar.
- What the Hell, Hero?: Takeru gave out a massive one for Hoji after he kept distrusting Mei due to her rather hard-to-believe history (which led her to being a Damsel in Distress).
- Why Am I Ticking?: There was no ticking, but Long's latest plan involves turning Hoji and Sakura into human bombs.
