Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
Awesome Music: When they pull their roll call, one of the most awesome songs played in Sentai history is played. It really fits the scene.
Complete Monster: Colonel Shadam. Responsible for many bad things in the series on top of the fact that he cares nothing for his two sons and wife, his amazingly abusive treatment to Akomaru is the ultimate proof of this. He also doesn't give one freaking shit about any of his subordinate and the fact that they are clay dolls created by him and plan to discard them once they are useless for him make this even worse.. During the battle for the Gouma throne, he was beaten by Doushi Kaku, but then Kaku showed mercy... which enables Shadam to turn the tables and does he show mercy in return? Nope, it's a brutal beatdown and outright brutal murder. One more clincher: amongst those clay dolls is his master, so he basically doesn't give shit to his OWN RACE.
Fan-Preferred Couple: Rin and Ryou are the only Dai Tribe descendants. Outcome is obvious.
Hilarious in Hindsight: In episode 2, Shōji crosses a bridge leading to a ship full of Gohma by gripping along its lower rails a la Solid Snake.
Kō's actor also played Burai as a boy in the flashbacks in the previous series... and in the second season of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, the Kiba Ranger suit is used by the equivalent of Burai.
Nightmare Fuel: Surprisingly NOT the monster, but Ryou's Training From Hell. Imagine you are attached with A LOT of steels that makes your whole body bleed, and you're supposed to go through an extensive training while doing that, and all the while, your body just go through pains and through. Ryou's screams of pain just sounded off... creepy...
Vindicated by History: It was, due to a Tough Act to Follow by Jetman. This generation seems to be more forgiving, since Kung Fu and Martial Arts are awesome, mix that with Sentai and whoooah.
Visual Effects of Awesome: The Ryuseioh puppet remains one of the most impressive mecha models in Sentai history. There's a reason why it gets shown off so much in the opening credits.
