Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger: Difference between revisions

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]].

Oh, and did we mention that the Dinosaurs ''[[Talking Animal|talk]]''?

* [[Custom Uniform]]

* [[Finishing Move]]

** [[The Hero]]: Ryouga

** [[The Lancer]]: Yukito

*** Abaren-oh + [[Cool Board|Stegoraidon]] = Abaren-oh Raidon

*** Abaren-oh + [[Improbable Weapon User|Parasaro]][[Blade Below the Shoulder|kkiru]] = Abaren-oh Rokkiru

*** Killer-oh + Bakyceloknuckles + Dimenocodon = Killer-oh Knuckles Nocodon

*** Killer-oh + Parasarokkiru + Ankyloveilus = Killer-oh Veilus Rokkiru

* [[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 Fifty Foot Whatever|which start out in giant form already]]''.

* [[Mook|Mooks]]: Baomea soldiers; anagram for "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amoeba Amoeba]"<ref>Read as "A-mee-ba".</ref>.

* [[The Movie]]: ''Abaranger Deluxe: Abare Summer Kinkin Chū!''

* [[Supervillain Lair]]

* [[The Teaser]]: Abaranger is the very first sentai to use one, and the only sentai so far to use a [[The Stinger|stinger]].

* [[Transformation Trinket]]

** Ryouga, Yukito and Ranru: Dino Brace

** [[Spikes of Doom]]: Abare Mode

*** [[Power Gives You Wings]]: Ranru's Abare Mode offers her this.

** Asuka: [[Royal Rapier|Dino Thruster]] <ref>Has 4 different [[Elemental Powers|elemental]] attacks.</ref>

** Mikoto: [[Cool Sword|Wing Pentact]] [[hottip:*:Can also function as a laser-shooting [[The Pen Is Mightier|quill pen.]]

** Ryouga is ''even more''. At least Asuka was knowledgable in Dino Earth culture. But Ryouga out-[[The Messiah|messiah'd]] Asuka.

* [[Earn Your Happy Ending]]: Exactly what {{spoiler|Asuka}} did.

* [[Evil Laugh]]: Mikoto does a ''very'' hammy version. {{spoiler|Still, not as bad as Rijewel's.}}

* [[Expy]]: The three main Abarangers draw their powers from dinosaurs that were represented by three of the Zyurangers (namely the tyrannosaurus, the triceratops and the pteranodon), while Abare Black draws his power from a brachiosaurus (which was present in ''Zyuranger'' in the form of King Brachion).

* [[Fastball Special]]: in [[The Movie]], {{spoiler|the villain is defeated after Tyranno tail-whips RYOGA into him.}}

* [[For the Evulz]]: Mikoto's motivation.

** Ryouga: Choleric

** Yukito: Phlegmatic

* [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold]]: If any one trope sums up Yukito's character, this is it.

* [[Literal Genie]]: ep. 25's Trinoid.

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Ryouga, Yukito and Ranru's family names, "Hakua" (Cretaceous), "Sanjyo" (Triassic) and "Itsuki" (Jurassic<ref>''Jyura-ki''; "jyu" is a possible reading for the kanji "Itsuki"</ref>), are puns on names of the prehistoric periods where dinosaurs thrived in. Lampshaded in ''[[Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger]] vs. Abaranger''.

** There's also Mikela, the painter, named after Michelangelo, and Voffa, the composer, whose name derives from ''Wolf''gang Amadeus Mozart.

** He averts this trope during the [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] when he and {{spoiler|Mikoto end up dying together when the Dino Minder is about to explode...}}

* [[Mythology Gag]]: The spamming of diamond motifs on the outfits is most certainly a callback to [[Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger|Zyuranger]].

* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: /Jeanne.

* [[Nephewism]]: Ryouga is biologically Mai's uncle and has been caring for her since her parents were killed.

* [[New Powers As the Plot Demands]]: Actually ''justified in-universe'', with [[Wrench Wench]] Ranru making random modifications to the Dino Braces (explaining the out-of-nowhere 'Abare Beam' in the [[Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger|Hurricaneger]] teamup) and adding stuff to the Bakuryu (Kera slaps a bug on the ep. 25 Trinoid, which tricks it into attacking a holographic building).

* [[Only Known By Their Nickname]]: All the Bakuryu have nicknames, to be addressed easily, except for AbareKiller.

** Mikoto does call him "Toppu" in [[The Movie]].

* [[Rubber Forehead Aliens]]: All Ryujin have four claws over their cheekbones.

* {{spoiler|[[Sealed Evil in A Can|Sealed Evil In A Man]]}}: {{spoiler|Half of the Evolien's [[Eldritch Abomination|God]] is sealed away inside Mikoto Nakadai, which triggers his [[Villainous Breakdown]]}}.

* [[Shout Out]]: Brachio, every time he appears on the battlefield, does so with a different line. Best part? Virtually all of them are lyrics from Toku songs. [http://www.geocities.co.jp/Hollywood-Theater/5032/abare_brakio.html See here].

** For those unable to read Japanese, Brachio's referenced songs from ''[[Space Sheriff Sharivan]]'', ''[[JAKQ Dengekitai]]'', ''[[Battle Fever J]]'', ''[[Bishoujo Kamen Poitrine]]'', ''[[Denshi Sentai Denziman]]'', ''[[Jikuu Senshi Spielban]]'', ''[[Taiyou Sentai Sun Vulcan]]'', ''[[Kagaku Sentai Dynaman]]'', ''[[Space Sheriff Shaider]]'', ''[[Kaiketsu Zubat]]'', ''[[Dai Sentai Goggle Five]]'', ''[[Dengeki Sentai Changeman]]'', ''[[Yuugen Jikkou Sisters Shushutorian]]'', ''[[Rescue Sentai Go Go Five]]'', ''[[Space Sheriff Gavan]]'', ''[[Kamen Rider Skyrider]]'', ''[[Tokusou Robo Janperson]]'', ''[[Seiun Kamen Machineman]]'', ''[[Kikaider]]'', ''[[Kamen Rider Faiz]]'', ''Abaranger'' itself, ''[[Gekisou Sentai Carranger]]'', ''[[Kamen Rider Kuuga]]'', ''[[Captain Ultra]]'', ''[[Kamen Rider X]]'', ''[[Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger]]'' (in the [[Crossover]] with that show), and ''[[Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger]]'' (again, in the [[Crossover]] with that show).

** The closing sequence mimics the Beatles' iconic "Abbey Road" cover, which makes it into the TopGaler of the movies.

* [[Special Edition Title]]: In #30, three Trinoids are revived as ''Jamei Sentai Evoranger'' and even get for a few seconds a special version of the opening theme before Abare Killer stops it abruptly.

** {{spoiler|In lesser degree Rije/Rijewel and Mikoto/Abarekiller}}.

* [[Superpower Lottery]]: Mikoto's Zero Suit will eventually explode. In the meantime, he's powerful enough to take on the entire team at once and go toe-to-toe with AbareMax.
