Choujin Sentai Jetman: Difference between revisions

(A fan adaptation was completed in 2009, see ''[[Power Rangers Take Flight]]'' [http://takeflight.rovang.org/ here])

 

* Ryū Tendō ('''{{color|red|Red Hawk}}'''): [[The Hero]] who's [[Loving a Shadow|still much in love with his dead girlfriend]]. {{spoiler|He then finds out that she's [[Not Quite Dead]] and that she's [[Brainwashed|with the bad guys]].}} Based on ''Gatchaman'''s Ken the Eagle.

* Gai Yūki ('''{{color|black|Black Condor}}'''): [[The Lancer]], [[Sour Supporter]]. Initially comes off as a [[Sociopathic Hero|Sociopathic]] [[Anti-Hero]] but [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|later revealed to be a nice guy too]]. Based on ''Gatchaman'''s Condor Joe.

* Chief Aya Odagiri: The [[Team Mom]], [[The Mentor]]. Based on ''Gatchaman'''s Dr. Nanbu.

 

* Radiguet: [[Dragon-in-Chief]] at first, becomes the [[Big Bad]] late in the series. Later develops a [[Enemy Civil War|feud with Tranza]]. A really evil monster through and through.

* Tran: Evil [[Tagalong Kid]] with an annoying laugh. Despite his age, just as much of a monster as Radiguet. Later rapidly ages into Tranza, starting an [[Enemy Civil War]] with Radiguet... and actually winning.

* [[All Your Powers Combined]]:

* [[Make My Monster Grow]]: The Jigenmushi fulfills this role; if it can latch off the monster as it's destroyed, it can bring it back giant size. It can be destroyed, thus keeping the monster from coming back.

* [[Monster of the Week|Monsters Of The Week]]: The Jigenjū (Dimensional Beasts), which were created from material objects that were implanted with a breed of parasites known as "Jigenmushi" (Dimensional Bug). Notable in that it had three sympathetic Monsters of the Week.

* [[The Narrator]]:

* [["On the Next Episode of..." Catchphrase]]:

* [[The Ace]]: Ryu and Gai, for different reasons. Ryu was already a trained soldier before the series started and thus didn't need to undergo the [[Training From Hell]] that the others (minus Gai) did. Gai was just naturally talented (and had a history of getting into fistfights).

** Yūta Mochizuki [[Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger|shows up a couple of months early]] leading the Neo-Jetman in episodes 40-41.

** The Dimensia team that delivers Jet Garuda is made up of [[Choushinsei Flashman|Blue Flash]], [[Hikari Sentai Maskman|Yellow Mask]]...and Tricera Ranger [[Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger|who also showed up early]].

* [[Hidden Depths]]: Played around in the 11th episode. A drink from the Vending Machine Jigen makes a hidden aspect of the the Jetmen's personalities become their dominant one: Ryū becomes a [[Lazy Bum]], Gai becomes [[The Messiah]] (counts as a hidden depth for his [[Heroic Sociopath]] tendencies, he's actually a [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]), Raita becomes a jerk, Kaori turns into a rich snob worse than her pre-development phase, Ako turns into [[Tomboy and Girly Girl|Girly Girl]]. They get better in the end...

* [[Hoist by His Own Petard]]: Noodle Jigen. Inspired by instant ramen and created by Tran, anyone affected by eating his noodles get extremely aggressive and try to get everything done as quickly as possible until they die of overworking themselves. He didn't count on Yellow Owl eating his noodles, which caused him to kill the monster as fast as possible.

** Though with some, as Aya coined, 'pathetic excuse of human being' like [[The Neidermeyer|Commander Ichijou]], Radiguet might be partially right (though he's still no better).

* [[Hypocrite]]: Especially Radiguet in terms of the trope above:
