* [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment]]: Unless you know Goranger's attack, the Goranger Hurricane with a garbage truck really comes out of nowhere, even with the Rangers calling it out during the attack.
* [[Non Sequitur Scene]]: Unless you know Goranger's attack, the Goranger Hurricane with a garbage truck really comes out of nowhere, even with the Rangers calling it out during the attack.
* [[Complete Monster]]: From threatening to kill a child or threatening to blow up a school, both in order to get a Great Power, to betraying and almost annihilating the entire Red Pirate Gang, Basco establishes himself as quite possibly the most sickeningly evil villain to ever exist in the entire ''[[Super Sentai]]'' franchise.

** [[Mean Character, Nice Actor]]: But thankfully, Kei Hosogai is ''nowhere'' as sickening as Basco, [http://henshinjustice.com/2012/01/30/basco-waves-goodbye-to-cast-crew/ he even hangs out and take pictures with the other Gokaiger cast].

* [[Continuity Lock Out]]: As cool as all these [[Call Back|Call Backs]] to previous Sentai seasons are, it's probably going to leave a few newer fans who aren't familiar with the older seasons a little confused, like the Goranger Hurricane mentioned above (and, let's go ahead and mention the inevitable, it's going to be hell for whoever ends up adapting this into ''[[Power Rangers]],'' since they're going to either have to explain away or completely disregard the 16 teams that were never seen stateside (everything from ''Goranger'' to ''Jetman,'' with ''Dairanger'' on top of it...unless Saban retreads the path of the ''[[Masked Rider]]'' episode "The Invasion of Leawood", which just plonked in every Showa era [[Kamen Rider]] without any prior context.)

** The PR group won't have to worry, at least for the Legend War.[http://www.jefusion.com/2012/03/toei-filming-power-rangers-legend-war.html Toei is making new footage just for Power Rangers] -- that doesn't use anything from before ''Zyuranger''.

* [[Creator's Pet]]: A portion of the fanbase sees Gai's character as this. It's standard practice for the Sixth Ranger to be the spotlight-stealer for the first episodes after their introduction, but Gai has a number of things that work against him. He is [[Kid Appeal Character|an obvious fanboy stand-in made to appeal to the young kids who want to be a hero]], whose abilities are literally given to him on a silver platter for very little reason.

* [[Crosses the Line Twice]]: Several monsters turning into a [[Twinkle in The Sky]]? Seen it. Said monsters smashing through the Zangyack fleet that's always in Earth's orbit? Funny. One such monster smashing into the flagship and ''[[The Chew Toy|still capable of walking up to the bridge]]''? HILARIOUS.

** It's possible that the popularity of Manta Headder from Goseiger (which turns into a pirate-themed mecha head) inspired Gokaiger as a whole. This gets lampshaded in [[The Movie]].

** The Mobirates' announcement for Sentai names during any Gokai Change is ''exactly'' the way the Carrangers announce their team name, which itself was a [[Running Gag]] in its series<ref>To elaborate, the Carrangers always say "Carrrrrranger!" at the end of their roll call. The Villains, or pretty much everyone else for that matter, took it to heart that they ended up using the long version throughout the series instead of the proper name, even in serious conversations.</ref>.

** Goseiger's card system brought [[Kamen Rider Decade|Decade's card system]] to mind. Gokaiger brought everything else in Decade to mind.

** As Ryouma and Hyuuga note, the Gingaman fought [[Space Pirates]], and then we got a [[Space Pirate]] Sentai.

** A Red Ranger's actor initially declined to appear in a tribute episode because he wanted to put that part of the career behind himself. Other members of the cast and crew convinced him to appear, though as a result, he has limited screentime. Now, am I talking about Kazuki Maehara<ref>who played Ryouma in ''Gingaman''</ref>, or [[Power Rangers Lost Galaxy|Danny Slavin]]?

** In ''[[Kamen Rider Decade]]'', during his stay in Kabuto's world, Tsukasa talked about an explorer by the name of Vasco de Gama, who is similarly named to one Basco ta Jolokia. Bonus points for Vasco [[Spell My Name with an "S"|being interchangeable with Basco]].

** In #39, a [[Recycled in Space|space newspaper]] has an article about {{spoiler|the death of Warz Gill}} on a page that's headered as "Space Sports Extra". Wonder if that means [[The Lonely Island|the space sports had to be totally cancelled...]]
