Line 37:
=== '''Recurring''' [[Super Sentai]] tropes: ===
 
* [[By the Power of Greyskull|By The Power Of Greyskull]]: "Emergency, Dekaranger! (when helmet is about to go on) Face On!"
** Occasionally this is preceded by "Change Standby!"
* [[Color Coded for Your Convenience]]: At least for the main five.
Line 59:
** [[Team Pet]]: Murphy K-9
* [[Humongous Mecha]]
** [[A Mech Byby Any Other Name]]: The Deka Machines (components of the Dekaranger Robo) and the Pat Wings (components of the Deka Wing Robo).
** [[Combining Mecha]]
*** Pat Strike + Pat Gyro + Pat Trailer + Pat Armor + Pat Signal = Dekaranger Robo
Line 71:
* [[Idiosyncratic Episode Naming]]: Every single episode's title is entirely in [[Gratuitous English]].
* [[Infant Immortality]]: AVERTED. In the first episode! The one responsible gets his at the hands of Deka Red.
* [[In the Name of Thethe Moon]] - Every member gets to say an entire sentence along with their name and number. Quite possibly the longest in [[Super Sentai]] history when Dekaranger came out, but later shows have followed Dekaranger's lead (with Magiranger's arguably being the longest so far).
{{quote| '''{{color|red|Red}}''': "One, to hate inhuman crimes!"<br />
'''{{color|blue|Blue}}''': "Two, to pursue mysterious cases!"<br />
Line 82:
'''{{color|black|Master}}''': "Cutting down hundreds of evildoers! Hell's Police Guard Dog, Deka Master!" }}
* [[Make My Monster Grow]]: Significantly averted this season; instead of growing to giant size, nearly every [[Monster of the Week]] pilots his/her own [[Humongous Mecha]]. Only a small number of them can grow on their own.
* [[Mecha -Mooks]]: The Anaroids
** [[Elite Mooks]]: The blue Batsuroids and orange Igaroids.
* [[The Movie]]: ''Dekaranger the Movie: Full Blast Action''
Line 96:
*** MariGold License: Mari
** Tetsu and Lisa: BraceThrottle <ref>These are also their [[Weapons Of Choice|Weapons Of Choices]].</ref>
* [[Two Girls to Aa Team]]: A triumphant return of this tradition after a whopping '''six years''' of just one heroine per team. In addition to the two main girls (Yellow and Pink, the eighth time this combination was used), the series also had three guest heroines (Swan, Bright and Gold) for a total of five female rangers, enough to match the amount of male rangers.
* [[Weapon of Choice]]
** [[Bifurcated Weapon]]: Each of the main five's sidearms can combine with each other to form a [[Handguns|gun weapon]].
Line 115:
** The ''Dekaranger Robo'' is also one (again, after Tetsu arrives, since Tetsu's mecha ''is a bike'').
* [[Barehanded Blade Block]] - In one episode, their robot does this to a giant mook.
* [[Base Onon Wheels]] - Dekabaserobo.
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]] - The eccentric Sen-chan is usually very nice but cross him and you'll be in a world of pain.
* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: Averted [[Disney Death|at the last moment]].
Line 156:
* [[Gun Kata]]: Ban's Juu Kun Do, "The Way of the Gun".
** With plenty of [[Unnecessary Combat Roll]] and [[Leap and Fire]] action. And [[Bottomless Magazines]], to supplement his [[Trigger Happy]] nature.
* [[Heir to Thethe Dojo]]: Doggie apparently is one.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Apparently Tetsu's superior DekaBright [[Kamen Rider Kuuga|has had experience leading the Grongi.]]
** And the Alieniser in the pilot arc modelled his human disguise from [[Kamen Rider Agito|a certain unlicenced-doctor-cum-Rider.]]
** In [[The Movie]], the [[Big Bad|antagonist]] is the same actor as Gashadokuro from ''[[Ninja Sentai Kakuranger]]''.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: [[Tetsu Inada]] (guy behind the voice of Lu Bu and Huang Gai in [[Dynasty Warriors]]) as Doggie Kruger. Averting [[The Danza]] when there's another [http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=pYsz3ytMQ3Y --]
** [[Mika Kikuchi|Umeko's actress herself]] will be voicing [[Mai -Otome|Arika Yumemiya]] and [[XXX HolicXxxHolic|Modoki]] [[Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle|Mokona]]. Speaking of which, Tetsu Inada [[Relationship Voice Actor|also voices Kurogane]]!
** Jasmine is [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5 Ds5D's|Aki]]
** In any case the [[Big Bad]] lets out a familiar screechy voice, don't worry, it's just [[Ryusei Nakao|Kurotsuchi]] [[Bleach|Mayuri]].
** The [[Monster of the Week]] that kidnapped Swan to lure Doggie is voiced by [[Nobuyuki Hiyama]]. So imagine [[Bleach|Komamura Sajin didn't take Madarame Ikkaku]] {{spoiler|[[Bleach|not revealing his Bankai]]}} [[Bleach|well...]]
Line 185:
** The last episode has an inversion of roles with Hoji calling Ban partner and Ban (jokingly) putting him down.
*** In the crossover with [[Mahou Sentai Magiranger]] Ban calls Kai (Magi Red) his partner. Needless to say, Hoji gets jealous.
* [[Only Known Byby Their Nickname]]: The Dekarangers, most of the time.
* [[Petting Zoo People]]: Boss.
** Also Numa O, the birdman in charge of the entire [[Space Police]], an [[Expy]] of the birdmen who ran the Space Sheriff organization in the early [[Metal Heroes]] shows.
* [[Power-Up Letdown]]: Out of universe, some fans were upset when the long-teased Fire Mode turned out to be the ''[[Power Rangers SPD]]'' Battlizer ([[Fan Nickname|referred to by some]] as the "Jack Strap").
* [[Putting Onon My Thinking Cap]]: Sen's handstand thinking pose.
** Ban tries to do this once. It didn't work. The narrator lampshades this by asking the audience if it will work.
* [[Double Standard Rape (Male Onon Male)|Rape Is Funny When It Is Hermaphrodite On Male]]: The Alienizer in #45 clearly wants to mate with {{spoiler|Tetsu}}, not only kiss. It is even remarked that his species tries harder if resisted. When the Dekarangers still thought a female team member was targeted, they were concerned, but with a male team member they are amused and don't help him.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Ban and Hoji. Also, Umeko and Jasmine, to a lesser extent.
* [[Running Gag]] - Umeko declaring that she's the leader.
Line 207:
*** One episode has the DekarangerRobo stopping an incoming missile by invoking the [[Barehanded Blade Block]] (complete with [[Jidai Geki]] terminology).
** [[Shout-Out Theme Naming]]: All of the main characters' surnames are puns on the given names of mystery novel authors:
*** Banban '''Akaza''' comes from '''[[Agatha Christie (Creator)|Agatha]]''' Christie.
*** Houji '''Tomasu''' comes from '''Thomas''' Harris.
*** Sen'ichi '''Enari''' comes from '''Ellery''' Queen.
Line 213:
*** Koume '''Kodou''' comes from '''Kodou''' Nomura.
*** Tekkan '''Aira''' comes from '''Ira''' Levin.
** Robotic [[Team Pet]] Murphy is named after [[Robo CopRoboCop]]'s Alex Murphy.
*** Dekaranger Robo also has the original Murphy's spin-and-holster move. Although said holster's location in the lower leg seems to be a ''[[Patlabor]]'' reference.
** The girls' weapons include small bombs resembling a washer or a pierced coin--called "Zeni Bombs" in reference to the original Japanese supercop, [[Zenigata Heiji]], and his throwing coins.
