Power Rangers GPX/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Anvilicious: The discussion of racism in episode 11. But then again, Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped, especially regarding racism. The discussion is of course, lampshaded.
  • Crowning Moment of Funny: "Do you wonder if ghosts can have sex?"
  • Deus Ex Machina: Borderline, which is why it's in here. At the beginning of Episode 15, Hitomi prays for help when Sean, Kevin and Maria show up. But since Tommy Oliver himself got the three out of their Heroic BSOD s, it may not count.
  • Growing the Beard / It Gets Better: Both parts, but Part 2 might be the better example. It started off well, but started to slip around episode 20. However, the appearance of Gargotron, the Silver Ranger, and Tom Maelstrom, are signs the story is starting to pick up steam.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: The title of the story ("Grand Prix", what GPX is short for here, is how the episodes of Engine Sentai Go-onger, adapted into Power Rangers RPM, are labeled as), and the fact that the Blue Ranger is named Kevin.
  • Les Yay: Lampshaded when Maria asked Hitomi out on a 'girl-date'; "Are you a lesbian?"
    • "No, that's not what I meant."
      • What Maria meant was just a day out with Hitomi, nothing romantic, so in essence, this makes this a Subverted Trope.
  • Moe: Hitomi. She is the cute one, after all.
  • Purity Sue: Hitomi looks like one at first, but she eventually averts and subverts it at the same time. Look under her profile to see what we mean.
  • Replacement Scrappy: Mandla is treated as one by Sean, since Mandla is unproven in battle.
