''Tensō Sentai Goseiger'' <ref>''Tensō'' means "heavenly cloth", while the name "Goseiger" is a portmanteau of ''goseija'' (planet guardian) and "ranger"</ref> is the 34th program in the ''[[Super Sentai]]'' series, airing from 2010 to 2011.
Line 9:
When Alata befriends a young boy named Nozomu, the Goseiger gain a friend and a [[Secret Keeper]]. This begins their mission to keep up defending the planet from the Warstar and 2 other villain groups (the Yuumajuu and the Matrintis), and finally, a [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|fallen Gosei Angel]] in Burajira in while trying to find a way home.
This is the first Sentai team [[Early-Bird Cameo|to debut somewhere that wasn't their own series]]. This is also the first Super Sentai series since [[Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger]] to not air along side a new
----
* Alata / '''{{color|red|Gosei Red}}''': One half of the Skyick Tribe left on Earth. Though [[Kid Appeal Character|not an easily apparent example]], he is just as [[The Hero|heroic]] and [[Determinator|determined]] as other Sentai Reds.
Line 22:
* '''{{color|gray|Gosei Knight}}''': Though not a Gosei Angel, Gosei Knight was the Groundion Headder granted sentience by the Earth, and was revived to fight the unsealed Yuumajuu.
* The Great King, Mons Drake of the Planets: <s>[[Big Bad]]</s> [[Disc One Final Boss]]
Line 28:
* Buredoran of the Comet: [[The Evil Genius]]
* Makkuin of the Blob: <s>[[Big Bad]]</s> [[Disc One Final Boss|Disc Two Final Boss]]
Line 34:
* Buredoran of the Chupacabra: [[The Evil Genius]]
* Emperor Robogog of the 10sai: <s>[[Big Bad]]</s> [[Disc One Final Boss|Disc Three Final Boss]]
Line 40:
* Buredo-RUN of the Cyborg: [[Rule of Three|The Evil Genius]]
* Burajira of the Messiah: [[The Big Bad|The (true) Big Bad]], [[The Evil Genius]], and {{spoiler|the real form of Buredoran}}.
----
▲=== Recurring ''[[Super Sentai]]'' tropes: ===
* [[All Your Powers Combined]]: The Gosei Buster.
** Sky Buster: Combination of Gosei Red and Pink's weapons.
Line 57 ⟶ 54:
* [[Chest Insignia]]: Each Goseiger has the symbol of their tribe on their costume's chest.
* [[Combination Attack]]
* [[Crossover]]: ''Goseiger vs. [[Samurai Sentai Shinkenger|Shinkenger]]'', which also features a [[Early-Bird Cameo|cameo]] by the [[Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger
* [[Custom Uniform]]
* [[Eyecatch]]: The eyecatch involves the character(s) of the episode transforming to a Goseiger, and then changing to a Gosei Card while the title card appears on the bottom right of the screen. When the break ends, it goes in reverse. The segment first appeared in Epic 1 with Alata, then Hyde, Moune, Eri, and Aguri respectively in that order from the first 7 Epics. The segment continues on until the end of the series. In some occasions, there can be 2 people in the eyecatch like Agri and Moune, Alata and Eri, and more.
* [[Finishing Move]]
* [[Five-Man Band]]: There are two [[Kid Appeal Character
** [[The Hero]]: Alata
** [[The Heart]]: Eri
Line 70 ⟶ 67:
** [[Team Pet]]: Datas

** [[A Mech
** [[Animal Mecha]]
*** [[Cool Plane]]: Gosei Dragon and Gosei Phoenix.
Line 78 ⟶ 75:
**** Sealeon
*** [[Weaponized Car]]: Groundion(dump truck); it's a ''12-wheel'' missile loader with a [[Wave Motion Gun]] {{spoiler|which has its own super robot form (in combination with 2 other Gosei Machines), Gosei Ground}}
*** [[Zeppelins
*** [[Cool Airship]]: {{spoiler|Gosei Ultimate.}}
** [[Transforming Mecha]]: GoseiUltimate.
Line 85 ⟶ 82:
*** Landick Brothers: '''Stag Headder''', Tyranno Headder, Rhinoceros Headder. The latter two can attach as biting and [[This Is a Drill|drill]] feet, while the Stag Headder can attach as either a head or a chest piece.
*** Seaick Brothers: '''Manta Headder''', Hammer Headder, Sawshark Headder. The latter two attach as a [[Power Fist]] and [[Blade Below the Shoulder]] respectively. Notably gives Gosei Great the appearance of a [[Pirate]] (captain), complete with an [[Eyepatch of Power]].
*** Skick Brothers: '''Hawk Headder''', Crow Headder, Ptera Headder. The latter two attach as [[Breath Weapon]] [[Shoulder Cannon
*** Exotic Brothers: A set of four [[Palette Swap
*** Mystic Brothers: The Mystic Runner and Egg Headder, an ostrich and egg set that can equip to either Gosei Great (as twin flails mounted on the left arm) or Datas Hyper (as a [[Helicopter Pack]]).

* [[Make My Monster Grow]]: Involves sending bugs down to the [[Monster of the Week]].
* [[Merchandise-Driven]]: All Sentai has this, but Goseiger has been pretty blatant with it. The show currently has two gimmicks. One to support the Dice-O card game (and the only way to get the cards on the show is to buy all the other merchandise attached to the show, including the expensive roleplay jackets in ADULT AND CHILD sizes.) and then the Headders, who are of course, with the exception of the main ones, are sold seperately from the mechs. The Exotic Headers are another good example of the merchandising nature of the season. The reason they appeared once in the show was so they could do limited edition header redecos for special items.
* [[Monster of the Week|Monsters Of The Week]]
* [[Mook
* [[Motif]]: 3. Three clans, three kinds of Gosei Power, the Goseiger were supposed to be 3 sets of 2, 3 sets of villains {{spoiler|that Brajira is a part of, the way he has the 3 clans' powers}} and a focus on both hero and villain sides with the trinity of heaven/space, earth and the sea.
** The Warstar Army's designs seem to be based on a colony of... [[Amazons Attack|Bees. My god.]]
Line 122 ⟶ 119:
* [[The Movie]]: ''Goseiger: Epic on the Movie''
** [[Direct to Video]]: ''Come Back! Tensou Sentai Goseiger: Last Epic''
* [["On the Next Episode of..." Catchphrase]]: "Protecting the Planet is an Angel's mission!"
* [[Regular Caller]]: Datas calls the Goseigers on their Tensouders when he detects activity from the bad guys. Before he came along, the Goseigers would detect trouble by sensing disturbances in the air/earth/water, depending on their tribe.
* [[Robot Buddy]]: Datas; a [[The Merch|Dice-O machine]], a traditional [[Robot Buddy]] and a battle-ready [[Transforming Mecha]] (Datas Hyper) in one package.
Line 131 ⟶ 128:
* [[Transformation Trinket]]: The Tensouder, basically a head that can read cards. The cards run on the same Carddass system ''[[Kamen Rider Decade]]'' uses. And like ''Decade'', the cards tie into an arcade game, ''Dice-O''.
** Knight has the Leon Cellular, a combination card reader/cell phone.
* [[Two Girls to
* [[Weapon of Choice]]
** [[Handguns]]: The Gosei Blasters.
Line 137 ⟶ 134:
** Eri: [[BFG|Skick Shot]]
** Agri: [[An Axe to Grind|Landick Axe]]
** Moune: [[Improbable Weapon User|Landick Claw]] <ref>It's a claw-like weapon that doesn't belong in any specific weapon trope though it has been shown to be used as a shield.</ref>
** Hyde: [[Automatic Crossbow|Seaick Bowgun]]
** Gosei Knight: [[Swiss Army Weapon|Leon Laser]] <ref>[[Ray Gun|Gun]] and [[Cool Sword|Sword]] modes.</ref>
** Super Goseiger: [[BFS|Gosei Tensword]]
* [[Actor Allusion]]: Appearing in [[The Movie]] is Sayaka Isoyama of ''[[Chouseishin Gransazer]]'' fame, [http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/6976/20862173.jpg whose costume] already sports a large gold coin with a symbol on it, as all Sazers have.
** An indirect example in Epic 26 when Alata tries to get Hyde to loosen up by doing one comedy act after another, including ''a Louis Yamada impression''.
Line 152 ⟶ 148:
* [[Animal Motifs]]: Everything centered around Gosei Knight has a lion motif, including himself
* [[Anticlimax]]: [[Your Mileage May Vary]] on this one though: In Epic 15, the Goseigers finally face off against [[Disc One Final Boss|Mons Drake]], who wipes the floor with them in less than a minute. Not very soon afterwards, they were able to take him down through... [[Heroic Resolve]]. In the same episode. [[Villain Decay|What gives, Drake?]]
** That's not the only thing; in the ensuing [[Make My Monster Grow|giant battle]] against Mons Drake, they were able to take him down, along with his [[Supervillain Lair|spaceship]], [[Independence Day|Inde]][[The Invaders (TV series)|vader]]. The problem? The team's strongest mecha up to that point, Hyper Gosei Great was introduced a couple of episodes ago, against [[The Dragon|Dereputa]], which makes this a case of ''misplaced'' climax rather than anti-climax.
*** And... {{spoiler|[[The Dragon|he]] survived it as per Epic 16}}. [[Flat What|Huh.]]
* [[Audible Gleam]]: The first Epic alone spammed it throughout.
* [[Barrier Warrior]]: The ''Defenstorm'', ''Defenstone'' and ''Defenstream'' Expand Cards.
* [[Batman in My Basement]]: the entire series has our heroes living in a spare room in Nozomu's house.
* [[
** Epic 23.
* [[The Blind Leading the Blind]]: a stunning ''three-level'' affair in Epic 20. Nozomu convinces a schoolmate to approach the Gosei teens for love advice (since apparently Cupid is ''kind of like'' an Angel), and they in turn look to ''Prof. Amachi of all people''. (Yes, he has a son and is obviously qualified, but you really wouldn't think so otherwise...)
* [[Blu
* [[Body Horror]]: Gosei Knight's transformation into the Groundion Headder.
** Although, given he was originally the Groundion Headder, it's more like a smaller scale case of [[Transforming Mecha]], sorta like Datas.
Line 185 ⟶ 181:
* [[Determinator]]: Alata and Hyde are this, especially the former. See Epic 49.
* [[Disc One Final Boss]]: The War Star are the major driving force for the first quarter of the show, with Mons Drake presenting himself as a serious threat. He's still offed by Epic 15, clearing the way for the Goseiger to move up the [[Sorting Algorithm of Evil]].
** Soon after which they're replaced by the Yumaju
*** Which are finished off in Epic 32, just in time to be replaced by the Matrintis, effectively making them a rare case of a [[Disc One Final Boss|Disc Two Final Boss]].
** Even then the Matrintis are destroyed in Epic 44, making them the [[Disc One Final Boss|Disc Three Final Boss]] and leaving {{spoiler|Buredoran}} as the final [[Big Bad]].
Line 193 ⟶ 189:
** Gosei Ultimate wields a pair of swords.
* [[Early-Bird Cameo]]: The Goseiger appeared in ''[[Samurai Sentai Shinkenger|Shinkenger]] vs. [[Engine Sentai Go-onger|Go-onger]]'' before their series aired. Rather like [[Kamen Rider Double|Double]] in ''[[Kamen Rider Decade|All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker]]''.
** The Goseiger's successors, [[
* [[Elemental Powers]]: Depending on what tribe a Gosei Angel is born into, he or she is born with the following powers.
** [[Blow You Away]]: Skick Tribe, Alata and Eri.
Line 202 ⟶ 198:
*** [[An Ice Person]]: The ''Istop'' and ''Freezedrive'' Splash Cards.
*** [[Green Thumb]]: The ''Roplant'' Outbreak Card
*** [[Playing
*** [[Shock and Awe]]: The ''Comprethunder'' and ''Sparquake'' Spark Cards.
* [[Engrish]]: "Plasuma wave mesurment system is working now..."<ref>That's Hyde's computer, searching for plasma emissions from Matrintis to locate Datas in Epic 42</ref>
** Not to mention the tribe names and some of the card names. While generally spelled correctly, they're made from English words (or suffixes) but go together in ways no English-speaker would ever combine them. "Skick" is first and foremost on this list.
* [[Everything Is an iPod In The Future]]: Metal Alice carries around what looks like an iPad, which turns into a sword in battle.
* [[Everything's Better
** Although Eri and Moune don't take kindly to being associated with dinosaurs...
* [[Everything's Better
** There was also an earlier episode during the Warstar arc where Hyde used a spinning attack against the Warstar monster who {{spoiler|killed his partner}}.
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: Epic 42's Saroge-DT is this to Datas.
Line 215 ⟶ 211:
* [[Expository Hairstyle Change]]: Eri, Moune and Agri, on the week Gosei Knight debuted.
* [[Eyepatch of Power]]: Seaick Gosei Great.
* [[Expy]]: The formation of Gosei Ground is similar to that of [[
* [[The Fair Folk]]: The basis for Epic 25's Monster of the Week. Moune is nearly abducted by one.
* [[Fan Service]]: Epic 11 begins Moune and several other girls doing a cheerleading sequence, including a [[Panty Shot]]. Epic 23 contains a scene where Moune and Eri lose their bikini tops while being shot into mid-air, although they're rescued by Datas and we don't see anything.
Line 229 ⟶ 225:
* [[Gratuitous English]]: Skick/Landick/Seaick Power, Datass Hyper, Headders, Tensouder... That's just from the premiere, mind.
** The Tensouders. Period. Gosei Knight's Leon Cellular ''does not'' apply.
{{quote|
* [[Groin Attack]]: Eri treats one of the Yumaju in Epic 21 with one.
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: [[Not So Different|Both Hyde and Gosei Knight]] in Epic 19.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Shuichiro Amachi is played Louis Yamada LIII, best known as the voice of [[Tentai Senshi Sunred
** [[Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger|Deka Green]] appears in Epic 10 as {{spoiler|Hyde's [[Dead Sidekick|now-deceased partner]]}}
** Epic 19 features the actors of [[Ninja Sentai Kakuranger|Tsuruhime]] and [[Ninja Sentai Kakuranger|Sasuke]]/[[Seijuu Sentai Gingaman|Hyuga]] as a couple whose daughter is abducted by the MOTW.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Mons Drake's VA is [[
** Also, D'reptor is voiced by Rikiya Koyama, who many toku fans might recognize as [[Kamen Rider Black RX|Joe the Haze]].
** Bladrun is [[Naruto|Ebisu]] and [[Zeta Gundam|Kamille Bidan]].
*** Like you wouldn't believe, but he's also... '''[[Disgaea|Captain Gordon, DEFENDER OF EARTH!!]]'''
** Datas voiced [[Everything's Better
** '''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK]] [[Katsuyuki Konishi|GOSEI KNIGHT IS!?!?]]'''.
*** Pokefans may also know him as the voice of Raikou
*** [[Axis Powers Hetalia|He's the Hero!]]
** the Leon Cellular, Gosei Knight's ''phone'', may also sound familiar, particularly since it speaks English and attaches to a gun that can turn into a sword. It shares the voice of Cross Mirage, Teana's gun from ''[[
** [[Detective Conan|Inspector Megure]] voices Makuin the Blob.
** [[Norio Wakamoto|NORIO FREAKING WAKAMOTO]] himself shows up as the [[Monster of the Week|MOTW]] in episode 18. And it is [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Epic]].
Line 257 ⟶ 253:
* [[Killed Mid-Sentence]]: The Zan-KT3 triplets in Epic 43. Doubles as [[We Hardly Knew Ye]] since they were introducing themselves to the Goseigers when they were killed.
* [[Lampshade Hanging]]
{{quote|
* [[Large Ham]]: Gosei Knight didn't talk a lot in his debut, but everything he said there is theatrically heroic.
* [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]: Hyde has a Memory Wash card that can be used on [[Muggles]] without problem. Except for Nozomu. There's a [[Masquerade]] to keep up.
Line 270 ⟶ 266:
* [[Market-Based Title]]: ''Power Rangers Miracle Force'', in South Korea.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Nozomu's family name, "Amachi", is written with the Kanji "Sky/Heaven" and "Know/Notice", a nod to his status as the [[Secret Keeper]]. Also applies to Professor Amachi through a different take due to being an astronomer.
** Yūmajū monster names start with one Kanji which bears some indication of the bearer.
** Probably unintentional, but Alata and Agri are [[Altum Videtur|Latin for "winged" and "of the land", respectively.]]
*** Actually, most of the Goseiger names could be stretched to being meaningful in one form or another. The two Skick members are Alata ("Winged") and Eri ("Airy"), the two Landick are Agri ("Agriculture") and Moune ("Mound" or "Mountain"), and the Seaick is Hyde ("Hydro").
Line 276 ⟶ 272:
* [[Mono-Gender Monsters]]: Averted. There's only been a few, but they were quite clearly female.
* [[Monumental Damage]]: Epic 31 & 32. Makuin covers the [[Tokyo Tower]] in slime, then a ''ginormous'' Erurei Box leaking Makuin tops Tokyo City Hall.
* [[
** Warstar has an insect motif, Yuumajuu has both a cryptid motif and an arthropod motif, Matrintis has a machine motif and a marine invertebrate motif, and {{spoiler|Burajira's Dark Headers}} have a [[Hybrid Monster]] motif.
* [[Multiform Balance]]: Via [[Mecha Expansion Pack]].
* [[Mundane Utility]]: episode 7 has Agri asking Hyde to use the Memory Wash card as [[Lampshade Hanging|literal]] [[Brain Bleach]]. Given [[
** Not to mention Gosei Knight transforming into the Grounddion Headder to [[Training
* [[My Friends and Zoidberg]]: Likely unintentional, but the DVD-only [[Reunion Show]], "Tenso Sentai Goseiger Returns: The Last Epic'' has the narrator reintroduce the team: "Alata. Eri. Moune. Hyde. These five Gosei Angels acted as Tenso Sentai Goseiger." Uh, mister narrator dude, you left somebody out.
* [[Mythology Gag]]: The series [[Gosei Sentai Dairanger|obviously isn't the first]] to have the word "''Gosei''" in the title.<ref>The meanings are different though. "Gosei" in Dairanger means "(Of the) Five Stars/Five-Star". Goseiger's has the Kanji "Protect", "Star/Planet" and "Person"; roughly, "Those who protect the Planet" or "Planet Guardians".</ref>
** The [[Make My Monster Grow|growth method]] for the [[Monsters of the Week]] involve bugs which attach and make the monster giant. [[Choujin Sentai Jetman|Now, where have we seen this before?]]
** Tyranno Header bears a strong resemblance to CarriGator from [[Engine Sentai Go-onger]]. It even ends up in the same place as CarriGator's head, left foot.
** Gosei Knight's mecha form, Groundion, resembles a cross between GoGo Dump from [[Go Go Sentai Boukenger]] and Sei Shishi, the Lion mecha from Dairanger.
*** Even better, Gosei Ground's face has the same colors and scheme as [[Ninja Sentai Kakuranger|Muteki Shogun's]]. (Does it make sense now why its intro Epic had Sasuke and Tsuruhime guest-starring, with a Kappa MOTW?)
Line 298 ⟶ 294:
** Burajira of the Messiah (of the "religious reference" and the "if it goes ''that far'' to sound good, it's gotta be nasty" variety.)
* [[Nice Hat]]: The [[Mecha Expansion Pack]] includes these; special mention goes to the Seaick Brothers for having ''a pirate's hat WITH EYEPATCH''.
** Which also makes it [[Hilarious in Hindsight]], considering the motif of [[Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger
* [[Non-Mammal Mammaries]]: The MotW from ep 9.
* [[No Social Skills]]: All Goseiger to some degree, especially the Skick.
* [[Not Quite Flight]]: The ''Windrive'' Splash Card.
* [[Oh Crap]]: The general reaction of the team when they fire the Miracle Gosei Dynamic at {{spoiler|Burajira}} who not only stops it, but catches it, shrinks it, and then crushes it into nothing. With ''one hand.''
* [[Only One Name]]: The Goseiger come from a world that doesn't have family names.
* [[Orcus
* [[Overshadowed
** Adding insult to injury, Saban is apparently going straight from Shinkenger to Gokaiger to help celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Power Rangers franchise, [[No Export for You|skipping over Goseiger entirely]].
* [[Our Angels Are Different|Our Angels Are (Very Very) Different]]: The Gosei Angels are actually a race of humans born with mysterious powers who fled to another world 10,000 years ago so that they wouldn't disturb normal humans.
** Except for all the white feathers that keep showing up.
Line 312 ⟶ 308:
* [[Panthera Awesome]]: Gosei Tiger. But Groundion, being a [[Conservation of Ninjutsu|stand-alone]] [[Sixth Ranger]] mecha, topped it later.
** Don't forget Sealeon and Skyon.
* [[Personality Powers]]: See [[Elemental Powers]] above.
** The [[Blow You Away|Skick]] tribe members are both optimistic, energetic, and a bit [[Incredibly Lame Pun|air-headed]] at times.
** The [[Dishing Out Dirt|Landick]] siblings are [[Hot-Blooded|always ready for a fight]] and are occaisionally [[Running Gag|hard-headed]].
Line 338 ⟶ 334:
* [[Power Gives You Wings]]
* [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner]]: "We Gosei Angels shall pass divine punishment upon those wicked souls!"
* [[Production Foreshadowing]]: Seaick GoseiGreat was the first [[Pirates|Pirate]] robot ever in [[Super Sentai]]. Then, [[Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger
** Also, a yellow attachment enabling a [[This Is a Drill|drill kick]] finisher a year and a half before [[Kamen Rider Fourze|another Toei production]] used a yellow attachment for a drill kick finisher.
* [[Punny Name]]: Yumaju is a play on "UMA" meaning "unidentified mystery animal", which is used to refer to "Cryptids".
** Also, some of the Goseigers have punny (or at least punnish) names: "Eri" possibly referring to air, "Agri" possibly referring to agriculture, and "Hyde" as in hydro. "Alata" is Latin for "winged", possibly explaining the [[Spell My Name
* [[Rocket Punch]]: Gosei Great has a variation: It can launch all five of its Headders and control them remotely.
** Taken to the extreme when it combines with Datas Hyper to form Hyper Gosei Great. The newest finishing attack launches a grand total of '''15''' Headders all at once.
Line 354 ⟶ 350:
*** Zan-KT2 in Epic 34 has some similarities to Moguera.
** There's some clear inspiration from [[Gurren Lagann]] in Datas, especially with his limbs extending and gaining a new headpiece as DatasHyper. And in Epic 23, Mystic DatasHyper has a visible reaction to Eri and Moune getting their bikini tops blasted off.
*** Datas's transformation and personality is a massive [[Shout-Out]] to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdLRbhpWYiI Mic Sounders] of ''[[
*** His Hyper form also has some noticeable parallels to [[Chouriki Sentai Ohranger|Red Puncher]]. Not only are both boxing-themed, they also have an extremely similar combination scheme with the main robot.
** The Epic 27 MotW is an aquatic creature that spends most of the time with just its head above water, looking a lot like a Zora of ''[[
** Epic 32 has the Goseigers using a rather [[Ultra Series]]-esque [[Transformation Sequence]], flying towards the screen with their arms out in an [[Up, Up, and Away]] pose.
** Epic 34 has Zan-K.T recite the Three laws of Mat-Roids, a twisted version of Asimov's [["Three Laws
*** Still in the vein of [[Cultural Cross-Reference|Cultural Cross References]], Robogog himself is based off [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles|the '03 Shredder,]] while {{spoiler|Matrintis-edition Bladerun}} has the helmet design of '87 Shredder and [[Predator]]-dreads.
*** Most of the time, the MotWs have an ability related to whichever movie they're named for - the Warstar named for [[War of the Worlds]] is responsible for [[The Virus]],<ref>Which would be an inversion, since viruses are what killed off the aliens in that movie.</ref>
* [[Shout-Out Theme Naming]]: Each member of Warstar and the Yumaju is named after a different [[Sci Fi]] film or TV series. [[wikipedia:Universal Annihilation Army Warstar|The Other Wiki]] [[wikipedia:Earth Condemnation Group Yuumajuu|can fill you out]] [[wikipedia:Machine Onslaught Empire Matrintis|on those]] [[wikipedia:Brajira of the Messiah|names.]]
** More specifically, Warstar members seem to be named after space-based sci-fi films ([[Star Wars]], Alien, etc.), and Yumaju seem to be named after more fantastic or horror-based movies ([[The Blob]], [[The Host]], etc.), members of Matrintis seem to be named after robot-based movies (Robocop, Metropolis, [[
** Furthermore, the factions themselves are named after a different movie; Warstar is named after [[Star Wars]], Yuumajuu is a reference to a movie called "Rise of the Gargoyles" (known as U.M.A. 2010 or "''Yuu-ma'' Nisen''juu''" in Japan), and Matrintis is named after [[The Matrix]] and the lost city of Atlantis
* [[Significant Anagram]]: The species of Warstar's members are anagrams on species of bugs; Brasca = Scarab, Gubydal = Ladybug, Glus = Slug,... Surprisingly, judging from the Kana, it's done by rearranging the letters in English first; the Kana and pronounciations are made after that.
Line 368 ⟶ 364:
* [[Snakes Are Evil]]: Averted with Gosei Snake. In fact, this must be the first time a pure snake, discounting remotely serpentine creatures, is brought into the series as one of the Rangers' theme.
** Played straight with Tomarezu, the first lesser Yumaju to appear. He's got some insectoïd features, but his name directly refers to his snake nature.
* [[Spell My Name
** Another issue is Knight's main robo, <nowiki>GoseiGr[a/ou]nd</nowiki>. The card on the show spells it "Gosei Ground", but the Leon Cellular clearly pronounces it as "Grand".
** Even some subbers decide to transliterate the bad guys' names differently (Dereputa vs D'repter for example); one such case is actually referring to the Yuumajuu's [[Big Bad]] as "McQueen" (the Japanese title of [[The Blob]] is "Makkuin no Zettai no Kiki" or "McQueen's Absolute Risk"; roughly akin to calling the movie "Steve McQueen in: The Blob").
* [[The Starscream]]: {{spoiler|Buredoran}}
* [[Surprisingly Good English]]: Gosei Knight's card reader, the Leon Cellular, unlike [[Gratuitous English|the team's Tensouders]], speaks pretty fluent English.
* [[Talking
* [[Terrible Trio]]: All three villain groups.
* [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You]]: Implied with Alata and Dereputa
Line 393 ⟶ 389:
** [[Truth in Television]]: parents all over were ''deliberately'' infecting their own children with it to turn them into geniuses. Make no mistake, education in Japan is [[Serious Business]]. Also counts as a [[Take That]].
* [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]: The ''Camoumirage'' Focus Card.
* [[Wax On, Wax Off]]: Agri in Epic 7. [[
* [["With Our Swords" Scene]]: With a twist. Since Brajira {{spoiler|basically cannibalized his teammates to get the power to seal the Yumaju long ago, even though the three working together couldn't do so}} Agri, Eri, Moune, and Hyde figure that perhaps Alata could {{spoiler|take out Brajira on his own with their powers if they were willing to sacrifice themselves.}} Of course, they found another, less drastic means in the end.
