''Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger'' (''Dinosaur Squadron Zyuranger'' <ref>"Zyu" is an alternate romanization of ''jū'' or "beast".</ref>) is the sixteenth entry in the ''[[Super Sentai]]'' franchise, which aired from 1992 to 1993.
Line 11 ⟶ 10:
# It was the first series that was [[Foreign Remake|adapted for American audiences]] as part of the ''[[Power Rangers]]'' franchise, serving as the basis for the first season of ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]'' and having the costumes of its heroes and villains continued to be used for the next two.
# It started the [[Sixth Ranger]] tradition with the addition of Burai, the Dragon Ranger, whose story and fate was the focus of much of the show after his appearance.
* Geki, Prince of the Yamato Tribe/'''{{color|red|Tyranno Ranger}}''': The [[The Hero|"Warrior of Justice"]] who takes charge in the fight against Bandora and her minions.
* Goushi, Knight of the Sharma Tribe/'''Mammoth Ranger''': The [[The Smart Guy|"Warrior of Wisdom"]] who [[The Lancer|aids Geki in leading the fight against Bandora]]. He has a grudge against Bandora for causing the death of his sister.
Line 20 ⟶ 19:
* Burai/'''{{color|green|Dragon Ranger}}''': The "Warrior of Power" who [[Sixth Ranger|joins the team]] after an arc where [[The Rival|he antagonizes the Zyurangers]], specifically his brother Geki.
* Bandora: The "[[Big Bad|source of evil]]" in the Zyuranger world. An [[Evil Overlord]] who [[Child-Hater|likes to target kids]] in particular.
* Grifforzer: An [[The Brute|armored winged warrior]] [[The Dragon|who leads Bandora's minions into combat]].
Line 27 ⟶ 26:
* Lamie: [[Dark Chick|A female warrior]] loyal to Bandora who is [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife|married to Grifforzer]].

=== '''Recurring''' [[Super Sentai]] tropes: ===
* [[All Your Powers Combined]]: The Howling Cannon and the Ranger Stick's Babel attack!
* [[By the Power of Greyskull]]: Dino Buckler!
Line 96 ⟶ 94:
=== Tropes specific to [[Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger]]: ===
* [[All Your Powers Combined]]: How they resurrect Daizyuzin and Dragon Caesar from Satan Franke's crippling bubbles. Seriously, it gets like ''[[Captain Planet and the Planeteers|Captain Planet]]''...
{{quote|'''Mei''': [[The Power of Love|Love!]]
Line 140 ⟶ 137:
* [[Gratuitous English]]: The honorary titles of each of the five main Zyurangers. Geki is referred as the ''purinsu'' (Prince) of the Yamato Tribe instead of ''ouji'', Mei is the ''purinsesu'' (Princess) of the Rishiya Tribe instead of the ''hime'', and the other three are ''naito'' (knights) of their respective tribes instead of ''kishi''.
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: Burai starts off as a villain out of a desire for revenge against Geki. The two of them bury the hatchet at the end of Burai's intro arc, thus Burai's [[Heel Face Turn]].
* [[Homage]]: According to a [https://web.archive.org/web/20130303133330/http://www.toeihero.net/archive/rgl/omoide/main.html Japanese column] written by Tsuyoshi Nonaka (chief director of Plex, the company that did the set and costume designs for ''[[Super Sentai]]''), the design of the Daizyuzin is based on ''[[GoLion]]'' (better known to Westerners as ''[[Voltron]]''), while the transformation sequence from Dyno Tanker to Daizyuzin was inspired by ''[[Daitetsujin 17]]''.
* [[Hope Spot]]: When Burai reveals himself as Dragon Ranger, the heroes initially think they're gaining a [[Sixth Ranger|new ally]]. Instead he starts kicking their butts... ''hard''.
* [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Ninja]]: The theme of episode 35 ("Boi the Ninja Warrior"). Tokusatsu fans take this as a shout-out to Takumi Hashimoto's role of the ninja boy Manabu Yamaji in ''[[Sekai Ninja Sen Jiraiya]]''.
