== Cast-wide tropes ==

 

== Sean O' Callahan / {{color|red|GPX Red}} ==

 

Hometown: [[The Windy City|Chicago, Illinois]]

The leader of the GPX Rangers, Sean is the former captain of a junior ice hockey team. Due to the fact that he became Red Ranger instead of Daisuke, the two have a hate / hate relationship. Initially skeptical, he eventually warms up to his job and comes to embrace it (or, in his words, "have hot, sweaty sex with it".)

 

** But also a positive aversion, since even though he's a virgin, he still kicks ass.

* [[Ascended Fanboy]]: Sort of. He knows a few things about ''Power Rangers'', that's for certain.

* [[Cluster F-Bomb]]: Almost every other word of his dirty mouth is a swear word.

* [[Cool Car]]: The GT Racer, his zord.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]

* [[The Determinator]]: The source of his [[Heroic Second Wind]] moments. He doesn't chock it up to stupidity, just stubbornness.

* [[Genre Savvy]]

* [[Hair-Trigger Temper]] especially early on. He's grown out of it for the most part, but it's still there; related to [[Fighting Irish]].

* [[The Hero]]

* [[Hey, You]]: Called Daisuke "Rich Boy"

* [[Heroic Second Wind]]: He's practically a master at this.

* [[He's Back]]: See [[Heroic BSOD]] above.

* [[Idiot Hero]]: Subverted, he had a high GPA in high school. He says the reason he won't quit is due to stubbornness.

* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: Uses a blasted ''hockey stick'' as a weapon.

* [[Leeroy Jenkins]]: Was bad with this at first, but eventually he stopped and began to think things through.

* [[Papa Wolf]]: Mess with his niece, and he will ''kill you''.

 

== Kevin O' Donnell / {{color|blue|GPX Blue}} ==

 

Hometown: [[In Dublin's Fair City|Dublin]]

* [[Bandage Babe|BandageDude]]: After {{spoiler|Phaedos beats him up.}}

* [[Berserk Button]]

* [[Brown Eyes]]

* [[Cool Car]]: The Touring Racer

* [[Fighting Irish]]: About the only [[Oireland|Oirish]] thing about him, and he still subverts it since he's the Blue Oni to Sean's Red.

* [[Genre Savvy]]: Implied.

* [[Heroic BSOD]]: {{spoiler|Suffers a nasty one, just like Sean.}}

* [[He's Back]] {{spoiler|Recovers from his [[Heroic BSOD]]}}.

* [[The Lancer]] / [[The Big Guy]]: He's second in command, but he's also the biggest member of the team physically.

* [[Military Superhero]]

* [[Nice Guy]]: Less of a jerk than Sean.

* [[Oireland]]: Averted, just like Sean.

== Mandla Aaron Ndebele / {{color|green|GPX Green}} ==

 

 

Hometown: Johannesburg

* [[Chilly Reception]]

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]

* [[Last-Name Basis]]: Sean called him this instead of "Newbie" until Mandla saved the others.

* [[Hey, You]]: Sean calls him "Newbie" until he asks Sean to at least calling him by his last name.

* [[Reluctant Warrior]]: At first.

* [[Replacement Scrappy]]: Sean treats him as one, but he does tell him that if he proves himself in battle, he'll earn Sean's trust.

* [[Sixth Ranger]]: A not-so-traditional example since he's brought on to replace Daisuke.

 

== Daisuke Miyazawa / {{color|green|GPX Green}} ==

 

 

Hometown: Kyoto

* [[Break the Haughty]]: Episode 14, in ''one battle''.

* [[Big Brother Instinct]]: Obviously.

* [[Blue Blood]]: Comes from a ''very'' wealthy family.

* {{spoiler|[[But Now I Must Go]]}}

* [[Fiction 500]]

* [[Glory Hound]] / [[Glory Seeker]]: A possible [[Deconstruction]], related to [[Royal Brat]] below.

* [[Hey, You]]: Gets this from Sean (he calls him "Rich Boy") and does this to Sean in response.

* [[Japanese Politeness]]: [[Averted Trope|Oh, ho ho ho,]] ''[[Averted Trope|no]]'' [[Averted Trope|way!]]

* [[Jerkass]]: More of a jerk than Sean and is borderline racist.

* [[The Lancer]] / [[The Smart Guy]]: He tends to oppose Sean on occasion.

* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: Eventually, he recognizes his selfish actions {{spoiler|and leaves the team.}}

* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: The other Blue Oni to Sean's Red Oni.

* [[Screw the Rules, I Have Connections]]: He thought his family would guarantee him a leadership position, but he finds out that's not the case.

* [[Spoiled Brat]] / [[Royal Brat]]: He's a modern, non-royal version of this trope. Possibly deconstructed, since {{spoiler|his selfishness not only splits the team up, it nearly gets them all killed.}}

* [[Take That]]: He's pretty much a [[Take That]] aimed at Japanese nationalists.

== Maria Aparicio / {{color|yellow|GPX Yellow}} ==

 

 

Hometown: Caracas
