Line 1:
{{trope}}
'''Basic Trope''': A later addition to an already established ensemble, especially a [[Five -Man Band]].
* '''Straight''': Halfway through [[Five -Man Band|Te]][[Royals Who Actually Do Something|am]] [[Four -Temperament Ensemble|Bob]]'s struggle in [[Big Bad|King Paolo's]] domain, [[Token Human|Pr]][[Chrome Champion|i]][[Heroes Prefer Swords|n]][[Summon Magic|ce]] [[The Hero|Bo]][[Jack of All Stats|b]], [[Big Badass Wolf|Pri]][[Blade On a Stick|nce]][[Bare -Fisted Monk|ss]] [[The Big Guy|Emi]][[Fragile Speedster|l]][[Glass Cannon|y]], [[Cool Horse|Pr]][[Knight in Shining Armour|in]][[Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me|ce]] [[The Lancer|Char]][[Mighty Glacier|lie]], [[King of Beasts|Pr]][[Magic Wand|in]][[Black Mage|ce]] [[The Smart Guy|Da]][[Squishy Wizard|ve]], and [[Big Badass Bird of Prey|Pri]][[White Mage|nce]][[White Magician Girl|ss]] [[The Chick|Ali]][[The Medic|ce]] meet Herman, the wandering bard, joins up and helps them send Paolo down - who is actually a Prince, King Paolo's [[Oedipus Complex|son with a daddy complex]].
* '''Exaggerated''': And then he's followed by [[Tagalong Kid]] Billy, [[Cute Witch]] Kitty, [[Master Swordsman|"Tri-Blade" Tim]], [[Loads and Loads of Characters|and many, many more.]]
* '''Justified''': The team realizes that he's the only one familiar with the area, so they get him to join.
Line 10:
* '''Double Subverted''': ...But then starts [[Becoming the Mask]].
** Herman being known as the [[Sixth Ranger Traitor]] is just enemy propaganda.
* '''Parodied''': The [[Five -Man Band]] named Five Man Band recieve equipments or powers that ''require'' a sixth member. So they hire Senso Ranger, a temporary worker whose job is to help the team.
* '''Deconstructed''': Herman outshines Team Bob in every way, provoking the [[Green -Eyed Monster]] in them to seriously contemplate murdering him.
** The team is not happy that they went through so much pain and suffering and then this guy shows acting better than them.
* '''Reconstructed''': Herman [[I'm Your Biggest Fan|really wanted to be a member of Bob]], [[Kung Fu Panda|even collecting their action figures]], and [[Heroic Self -Deprecation|has little self-confidence in his skills]]. The reason he outshines everyone is that he's been working his butt off trying to impress them. Once he realizes he's going overboard, he agrees to tone it down. The rest of the team, mollified (and perhaps a little shamed), accept him more readily in the team dynamic.
** It turns out the new guy [[Backstory|went through just as much pain and suffering]] ([[Deus Angst Machina|if not moreso]]) as they did. Or else they come to the conclusion that they could use any help they can get, even if he gets on their nerves.
** The rest of the team is motivated to work harder, so their skills can be put to use cooperatively.
