* Fuhrer Taboo: The [[Big Bad]], originator of Deathdark who mostly [[Orcus On His Throne|spends time on his throne]]. His major feature is his one glowing orange eye.
* General Deathgiller: [[The Dragon]]. [[Subverted Trope|He's still a lower rank than Deathmark, though]]. A master swordsman who wears a skull helmet and considers Akama his [[Worthy Opponent]], thus they often butt heads with each other.
* Mazurka: The [[Dark Chick]], a stealth agent of Deathdark who wears a motorcyclist helmet. Also a [[Master of Disguise]], making her Miki's direct [[Evil Counterpart]].
* Dr. Zazoriya and Dr. Iguana: [[Those Two Bad Guys|The two]] [[Evil Genius|evil geniuses]] of Deathdark, with a scorpion helmet and iguana helmet respectively. They tend to bicker with each other and act rather silly most of the time, thus when Deathmark arrives, {{spoiler|[[You Have Failed Me...|they're put to death]]}}
* Grand Marshall Deathmark: One of Deathdark's greatest generals who is revived from his frozen prison in Antartica and who eventually takes the spot of [[Evil Genius]] after {{spoiler|executing Zazoriya and Iguana}}, and replaces Deathgiller as second-in-command. Wears a [[Ancient Egypt|Pharaoh helmet]].

=== '''Recurring''' [[Super Sentai]] tropes: ===
 
* [[All Your Powers Combined]]: Both Goggle Victory Flash and Golden Spear requires combining the power of the Goggle Sabers.
* [[By the Power of Greyskull]]: "Goggle Five," or their individual name.
Line 53 ⟶ 49:
* [[Humongous Mecha]]: The individual mecha were composed of three vehicles this time, each piloted by a single member. But since the team was composed of five members, Black and Pink were left out from having their individual mecha and instead remained on the mecha carrier.
** [[Combining Mecha]]: Goggle Jet (Red) + Goggle Tank (Blue) + Goggle Dump (Yellow) = Goggle Robo
* [[In the Name of Thethe Moon]]
* [[Law of Chromatic Superiority]]: Goggle Red is [[Badass Biker|the only one who uses the bike]] (although Black also used a bike for ONE episode). He's also the one who'll wield and throw the Golden Spear.
* [[Mecha -Mooks]]: Spotmen
* [[Monsters of the Week]]: The Mozu Monsters.
** [[Make My Monster Grow]]: Averted; whenever a monster dies, he is immediately revived and given a giant "Kong" robot to pilot. From the fifth episode and onward, the Kong robots become giant duplicates of their Mozu counterparts.
* [[The Movie]]: The Goggle Five learns from a defecting Prof. Zazoriya about Deathdark's latest plan to destroy Tokyo, and tried to quell it. Turns out the defection was staged and then they couldn't summon the Goggle Caesar until later. Takes place between episodes 5 (Deathdark were already using giant mecha replicas of their monsters) and 14 (before Deathdark goes to Antartica to revive Desmark).
* [["On the Next Episode of..." Catchphrase]]
* [[Regular Caller]]
* [[Psycho Rangers]]: The Deathdark Five. Taken out in one episode.
Line 65 ⟶ 61:
* [[Supervillain Lair]]: Deathtopia Castle.
* [[Theme Music Power-Up]]
* [[Transformation Name Announcement]]: ''"Gattai Kanryou!"''<ref>Combination complete! ([[Shout -Out|To be used again later in]] [[Go Go Sentai Boukenger|Boukenger]])</ref>
* [[Transformation Trinket]]: Goggle Brace
* [[Weapon of Choice]]
** [[Cool Sword]]: The Goggle Sabres.
** Akama: [[Whip It Good|Red Ruby Whip]] and [[Whip It Good|Red Rope]].
** Kuroda: [[Dual-Wielding|Black]] [[Drop the Hammer|Clubs]], [[Fighting Withwith Chucks|Black Emerald Nunchaku]] and [[Power Fist|Iron Arm]].
** Aoyama: [[Rings of Death|Blue (Sapphire Jet) Ring]]
** Kijima: [[Improbable Weapon User|Yellow (Opal Megaton) Ball]] and [[Drop the Hammer|Yellow Hammer]].
** Miki: [[Whip It Good|Pink Ribbon]], [[Carry a Big Stick|Pink Dia Baton]] and [[Improbable Weapon User|Pink Mirror]].
 
=== Tropes specific to ''[[Dai Sentai Goggle Five]]'': ===
* [[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]: In episode 28, ALL the monsters of the week that came before came back to assist that week's monster.
 
* [[Back From the Dead]]: In episode 28, ALL the monsters of the week that came before came back to assist that week's monster.
* [[Back-to-Back Badasses]]: Aoyama & Kijima in episode 38. Even when Kijima is being the [[Butt Monkey]] like usual, that doesn't eclipse their badassery.
* [[Badass in Distress]]: Miki/Pink in Episode 39.
Line 87 ⟶ 82:
* [[Dawson Casting]]: According to the information, Miki is supposedly 16 years old, but she's played by the 20 years old (more or less) Megumi Ookawa.
* [[A Wizard Did It|Deathdark Did It]]: Any major civilization collapse? Deathdark did it. Any weapons created and used for killings? Deathdark inspired it.
* [[Everything's Worse Withwith Bears]]: The final Mozoo is a bear, while the Bear Kong is the only robot piloted not by the Mozoo, but by Deathgiller.
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: Mazurka started the trend of [[Super Sentai]]'s '[[Dark Chick]] being the direct counterpart of [[The Chick]]'. Although since this is the an early era, she never came to direct [[Cat Fight]] with Miki (merely possessing similar [[Master of Disguise|skills]], just used for evil).
* [[Eye Scream]]: {{spoiler|Fuhrer Taboo is dealt an eye-piercing fatal blow by the Goggle Robo.}}
** [[Go for Thethe Eye]]: ''Indeed''.
* [[Fastball Special]]: Episode 6 had Black do this helped with a one-shot supporting character.
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: Granted, it's just a statue, but before the term [[Howard the Duck (Filmfilm)|Duck Tits]] was coined, episode 45 of Goggle Five gave us... ''Racoon Tits!''
** Sure it's actually Racoon Tits and not {{spoiler|a Tanuki statue's giant testicles}}?
** ... Make it both.
* [[Hachimaki]]: Kijima is rarely seen without one
* [[I Have the High Ground]]: Every [[In the Name of Thethe Moon]] sequence always had the Goggles jumping on a higher ground (building or cliff)... and after that, ''leap to battle''. Explosions are optional.
* [[Instant Expert]]: We don't know how each of the Goggles are suddenly adept in fighting and their special techniques. Well, this is an early Sentai series after all...
* [[Jumped At the Call]]: Kuroda, Aoyama, Kijima and Miki were practically thrown into the base against their will, but once [[Mr. Exposition|Hongo]] gives a rundown of the things, they ''immediately'' agree to abandon their former lives and become allies of justice. We assume that the same happened to Akama off-screen.
Line 103 ⟶ 98:
* [[Master of Disguise]]: Aside of Pink... Mazurka just loves putting on disguises.
* [[Monster Misogyny]]: A [[Lighter and Softer]] version, obviously. Any time a [[Monster of the Week]] (or Mooks) decided to get frisky against one Goggle in a mass battle (all Goggles participating), they will always target ''Pink''.
* [[Motif]]: The series primarily has a science motif, including fighting a Dark Science Empire, while the team's weapons feature a rhythmic gymnastics motif. Anniversary shows and specials ignore the former in favor of the latter - the ending songs of both ''[[Reunion Show|Gaoranger vs Super Sentai]]'' and ''[[Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger (TV)|Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger]]'' emphasize the gymnastics, despite it not being the main theme of the show. ''Gokaiger'' even has all of them using gymnastics ribbons to tie up the [[Monster of the Week]] in episode 8. The team does have an actual gymnast though (Miki).
* [[Mythology Gag]]: Done by Goggle Pink after hypnotizing a bunch of [[Mook|Mooks]] into dancing around to their fall. [[JAKQ Dengekitai|"Do you want another?"]]
* [[Name's the Same]]: No, no. Professor Hongou has no relationship whatsoever with [[Kamen Rider|Takeshi Hongou]]
Line 111 ⟶ 106:
* [[Obviously Evil]]: You take a look at how the Deathdark Empire is NAMED or how they dress up. Now go back and tell me if they're one bit good.
* [[One, Two, Three, Four, Go]]: This exact phrase is part of the ending song's lyrics.
* [[Orcus Onon His Throne]]: Fuhrer Taboo spends 49 episodes and a half staying inside his chamber in his base.
** Deathmark also never leaves Taboo's side until the final episode.
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: We don't know anything about the Goggles' parents other than {{spoiler|Kijima's father}}.
* [[Punctuated! forFor! Emphasis!]]: How the Goggles (starting with Red) finish their roll call. As seen on the page quote.
* [[Put Onon a Bus]]: Out of 50 episodes, Professor Hongō only appears in the first and last two. One of his two assistants, Midori, also leaves the series in Ep. 22, leaving only Sayuri.
* [[Rocket Punch]]: Hand Missile.
* [[Say My Name]]: Miki and her Computer Girl participate in this in early episode.
Line 122 ⟶ 117:
* [[Sixth Ranger]]: Well, for the villains: Deathmark, who makes his debut at the 15th episode, around the same time a good-aligned [[Sixth Ranger]] would usually appear in the later Sentai [[Strictly Formula|formula]].
** Goggle Five themselves are assisted by two temporary sixth members though: heel wrestler Hellmask in Ep. 6 and Henshin Papa (actually a security officer who steals a prototype "Strong Suit" made by Deathdark) in Ep. 41.
* [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"]]: Deathmark's casket in ep. 15 has his name engraved as "Desmark".
* [[Spot the Imposter]]: A Mozoo impersonated Black and the Goggles found out by telling both of them to bungee-jump. Then he impersonated Pink. The Goggles exposed him using the [[Super Sentai Stance]].
* [[Stout Strength]]: Kijima is fatter than the other Goggles (if not the ''fattest'' Sentai), but has incredible strength and toughness (He pushed off a huge rock alone, while it takes lots of [[Mook|Mooks]] and the [[Monster of the Week]] to barely push it)
Line 128 ⟶ 123:
* [[Super Drowning Skills]]: Water may as well be Miki's worst enemy. She's vulnerable on water (something the Spotmen once took advantage of), and she even passed on swimming in a normal swimming pool (despite wearing a swimsuit).
* [[Super Senses]]: Every Goggles have the Goggle Eye which gives them extra sight. Yellow also have super hearing. But mostly on sensing ground disturbance.
* [[Taking the Bullet]]: Happens to one doll brought to life by a [[Monster of the Week]], who takes the bullet meant for her "handsome prince" (actually a [[Cross DresserCrossdresser|crossdressing]] Miki). Cue both [[Tender Tears]] and [[This Is Unforgivable!]].
* [[Taking You Withwith Me]]: {{spoiler|How Mazurka dies, trying to take Deathgiller and the Goggles. At least she destroyed the first Goggles base... until Professor Hongou comes back from his bus and introduces a NEW base.}}
* [[Theme Naming]]: As with Denjiman, the five have their colors in their surnames.
* [[Tokyo Is the Center of Thethe Universe]]: Played straight for most the series, but there's one episode where Deathdark attacked a foreign country. The ending credits also shows all the members of Goggle Five protecting children in other countries besides Japan.
* [[Throwing Your Sword Always Works]]: "GOGGLE SABER!". Always handy to make a [[Big Damn Heroes]] moment.
** Also Goggle Golden Spear is usually used this way, until Deathmark counters it. So they instead [[Ramming Always Works|rams it to him]].
** {{spoiler|Electron Galactic Missile, which is basically throwing the Electron Galactic-powered Earth Sword to Fuhrer Taboo's weak point, killing him in one throw.}}
