Asuka soon recovers from being [[Brought Down to Normal]] and joins as the fourth Abaranger, only to have his resolve tested as he is forced to fight Jeanne, a [[Dark Action Girl|vicious Evolian general]] who [[Identical Stranger|shares the appearance]] of his lost love. Later on, a powerful [[Evil Counterpart]] appears in the form of Mikoto Nakadai, an [[Evil Genius|amoral genius]] who uses a [[Super Prototype]] of the Abaranger technology to become "AbareKiller", a nemesis that challenges the Abaranger's belief in the [[Rousseau Was Right|basic goodness of humanity]].

The theme of the series is, [[Meaningful Name|quite obvious from the title]], [[Everything's Better with Dinosaurs|dinosaurs]], lots and lots of [[Hot-Blooded|hotbloodedness]], and [[Stuff Blowing Up|explosions]].<ref> Just for starters: The word "AbaRanger" is from "''Abare''", meaning "riot/rampage/outbreak/run wild".</ref>

* [[Law of Chromatic Superiority]]: {{spoiler|1=Ryoga later obtains the power to become [[Shonen Upgrade|AbareYellow]].}}

* [[Make My Monster Grow]]: Whenever a Trinoid is defeated, the Life Berry used in its creation breaks and summons a rain which revives them in giant form. Averted with Voffa's Giganoids, ''[[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever|which start out in giant form already]]''.

== Tropes specific to Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger ==

* [[And I Must Scream]]: the victims of the Ep. 38 Trinoid are turned into Rafflesia flowers, known for smelling like rotting meat and relying on ''flies'' to be pollinated. [[Fridge Horror|Think about it.]]

* [[Applied Phlebotinum]]: AbareMax.

Line 193:

* [[Punctuated! For! Emphasis!]]: Ryoga has a moment in the Abaranger vs. [[Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger|Dekaranger]] special:

* [[Punny Name]]: Each Trinoid comes from three concepts: a plant, an animal and a man-made appliance, not necessarily in that order. Naturally, their names are punny [[~~Portmanteau|portmanteaux~~]] of all three. For the pun to work, however, each concept's last syllable(s) must be the same as the next concept's first syllable(s).

* [[Punny Name]]: Each Trinoid comes from three concepts: a plant, an animal and a man-made appliance, not necessarily in that order. Naturally, their names are punny [[portmanteau]]x of all three. For the pun to work, however, each concept's last syllable(s) must be the same as the next concept's first syllable(s).

** For example, the first Trinoid to appear in the series is created from "''Bakudan''/Bomb", "Dandelion" and "Lion". Its name? Bakudandelion.

** Taken to its logical extreme with the Hexanoid's six-piece name: Hanabi<ref>fireworks</ref> + Bi<ref>bee</ref> + Bikini + Nikibi<ref>pimple</ref> + Binasu<ref>Venus</ref> + Nasu<ref>eggplant</ref> = [[Overly Long Name|Hanabikinikibinasu]].
