Sunred, a masked hero of justice. Florsheim, an evil organization bent on taking over the city. Legions of monsters ready to fight.

Line 86:

** Antkiller is also a noted dick.

* [[Killer Robot]] -- In one episode, a deathbot is shipped to Vamp in the form of a model kit. He has no idea how to construct the thing, and goes to Sunred for help. After initially refusing to help his "enemy", Sunred ends up completing it. Then it explodes because one of Vamp's minions is too dumb to realize that he has one of the robot's crucial parts.

* [[Kill Sat]] -- According to the opening, one of these assists Sunred in activating Firebird Form. Since he keeps said form in a box in his closet, it's likely that's just another bit of tokusatsu hyperbole that Sunred has since abandoned.

* [[Lighter and Softer]]: Sex jokes and the fact that Sunred is always pestering Kayoko for sex are downplayed in the anime, to downright non-existant. Also even with slapstick humor, Sunred often deals some brutal beatings against Florsheim's lackeys in the manga, with them coming out bloody disfigured, in the anime the beatings aren't that severe.

Line 100:

* [[Nuke'Em]] -- P-chan, one of the adorably evil Animal Soldiers, has a nuclear missile in his body for some reason.

* [[Our Werewolves Are Different]] -- Sunred even calls Hellwolf out on how oddly nonstandard he is.

* [[Parental Abandonment]] -- Sunred's parents are dead, and he has no recollection of when; in thruth he has no remembrance of his childhood at all or his origins, he knows he is 27 years old but not his birthday, Sunred just counts the years.

* [[Poke the Poodle]] -- The Animal Soldiers once come up with a great plan -- to steal all of Sunred's water. It doesn't work very well.

Line 111:

* [[Real Place Background]] -- While the art style the show uses isn't normally associated with this trope, everything in the opening, and almost everything in the show itself, is a real location in the Mizonokuchi area where the show takes place. The ED of episode 34, in fact, is "lip synched" by various real life people from the Takatsu, Kawasaki, Ward Office and other Kawasaki locations.

* [[Real Song Theme Tune]] -- Twice, for a [[Special Edition Title]], a real song has been used. The first season had a polyphonic ringtone version of the incredibly popular (at the time) song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Nn6nWIhENM "Shuchishin"], by the [[Mr. Fanservice|idol group of the same name]], when Vamp had it as his ringtone. The second season used the Kawasaki city anthem [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6f7tqUm8q7s "Suki desu, Kawasaki, Ai no Machi"] in an episode where the song was annoying one of Florsheim's monsters.

* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]] -- Florsheim has an actual Blue Oni on payroll. As suitable for his colour he has a calm and community-minded temperament, and volunteers to let [[wikipedia:Oni ~~chr~~(~~28)folklorechr(29~~)#Traditional culture|people throw soybeans at him during Setsubun]].

* [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]] -- All of the Animal Soldiers

* [[Sanity Ball]] -- Sunred and Kayoko compete about it. Sunred is the straight man in sketches involving himself and Florsheim, while Kayoko is the straight man in sketches involving herself and Sunred (whether or not Vamp and Florsheim are involved).
