Line 29:
* [[Adults Are Useless]]: Beautifully averted. Sure, the kids are the only ones who could control Raijin-Oh but once outside the mecha and the control center, they still needed all the guidance from their elders, who are just as knowledgeable as they needed to be with the obvious exception of the annoying, borderline [[The Neidermeyer|Neidermeyer]] Army General.
** Even the General becomes a valuable ally once he warms up to the fact that the world's most powerful weapon is in the hands of children.
* [[Afraid of Needles]]: Jin, of all the things that he has to develop a phobia for. It even incapacitates him for a while during battle when they faced off with a ''syringe''-themed [[Monster of the
* [[Animal Mecha]]: Hou-Oh, Juu-Oh, and Bakuyru-Oh
* [[Calling Your Attacks]]
Line 66:
* [[Monster of the Aesop]]: The ''akudama'' (monster seeds) were specifically activated by the word "meiwaku" (troublesome, problem) being used in a phrase, and would then take on the form/powers of whatever was being considered a problem by the speaker. So there was a traffic jam monster, a flu monster, a superhero monster (this one had some serious "what side am I on again?" issues) and so forth.
* [[Motion Capture Mecha]]: Ken-oh/Raijin-oh's motion control system is configured this way; pretty handy whenever Jin thinks of a fancy move to get themselves out of tricky situations.
* [[Name's the Same]]: Jin's last name is Hyuga, but is not related to a [[Naruto|certain Ninja clan]]. Kouji is [[Different As Night and Day|in no way]] related to [[Mazinger Z|that other hot-blooded mecha pilot]]. And Asuka may have to blame his [[Viewer Gender Confusion]] problem to being associated with that other [[Neon Genesis Evangelion
* [[Only Six Faces]]: Largely averted. 18 main characters (21 if you count the school faculty sidekicks) and no two look alike.
* [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]]: The kids in control of Raijin-Oh and the only ones with the power to stop the [[Evil Empire]].
* [[Recruit Teenagers
* [[Rica Matsumoto]]: The girl who would become [[Pokémon (
* [[Shipper
* [[Stock Footage]]
* [[Super Robot]]
Line 78:
* [[Transformation Sequence]]: 3 per episode, at ''least''. The pilots transform into their uniforms, the robots transform into Raijin-Oh, and even the ''school'' transforms into the command center. Unlike most other anime Transformation Sequences, though, after the first few episodes these sequences are abridged or skipped completely as we're expected to know what's going on.
* [[Transforming Mecha]]
* [[Wake Up, Go to School, Save
* [[When You Coming Home, Dad?]]: Asuka was shown to have some shades of this with his dad in one of his focus episodes.
