* FiveManBand:
** TheLeader: White Bomber / Mighty
** TheLancer: Birdy
** TheBigGuy / TheSmartGuy: Bongo
** TheSmartGuy / TeamPet: Gangu
** TheChick: Shout, also TheCaptain after Mighty's disappearance.
** + [[{{Mentors}} The Mentor]] / TheProfessor / MissionControl: Dr. Ein

* HeyItsThatVoice: Kōji Ishii and Tetsuya Yanagihara, Mujoe and Gangu's seiyuu, play [[Anime/YuGiOh5Ds card games]] these days.

* NoExportForYou: Unfortunately, the series never got a dub. (the localized, {{Macekre}} rendered video game notwithstanding).

* RecursiveAdaptation: The show also has [[VideoGame/BombermanJetters a game based on it]].

** Thunder Bomberman is [[VisualNovel/AceAttorney Miles Edgeworth.]]

* BigOlEyebrows: Mighty; aside from height, this is about the only thing that distinguishes White Bomber from him.
** And his boots, but a lot of people miss those at first.
** But his are nothing compared to Thunder Bomber's.

* MinionWithAnFInEvil: Mujoe (possibly Grand Bomber as well)

* PerpetualPoverty: Despite being a ''highly trained special unit'', the Jetters apparently have notoriously poor funding; many of its members hold other jobs just to get by.

* RedEyesTakeWarning: MAX's eye cover things are red, the first sign that he isn't like his game counterpart (where they're blue)

* AloofBigBrother: Arguably [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] by Mighty, as he is aloof only geographically and is about [[TheMessiah the kindest person in the world]].

* TheAbridgedSeries: JettersAbridged [[http://youtube.com/teambulgebomb By Team Bulge Bomb]], a sister group to the creators of SgtFrogAbridged.

* MidSeasonWhamEpisode: 23, 24 and 25 are all this. [[spoiler: White Bomber discovers his brother died a horrific and lonely death, Shout's tearful backstory is explained when she resigns from the Jetters and Max is revealed to have been the one to kill Mighty, all with lots of crying.]] Needless to say, you'll want tissues.

** Max, however, hits quite notes on the trope.

* DeadLittleSister: Missing Big Brother for White Bomber.

The Jetters are an [[SpacePolice intergalactic police force]] apparently formed for the sole purpose of fighting the Hige-Hige Bandits, a [[RecycledINSPACE spacefaring]] [[TheSyndicate criminal organization]] with the single goal of amassing all the [[MacGuffin one-of-a-kind objects in the universe]]. The battle against the Hige-Hige Bandits is going well, until [[TheCaptain the leader]] of the Jetters, the [[TheAce infallible]] Legendary Bomberman [[StevenUlyssesPerhero Mighty]] goes MIA [[SecondEpisodeMorning after the first episode]]. The Jetters need [[TheHero a new Bomberman]] for the team, and believing {{badass}}ery to be {{in the blood}} go straight to Mighty's younger brother, White Bomber.

* {{Mecha-Mooks}}: The Hige-Higes, apparently, but they are RidiculouslyHumanRobots in that they need to eat, enjoy recreation, and pursue the attention of the other gender.

* {{NoWaterproofingInTheFuture}} : Episode 2 starts off with White Bomber's spaceship crashing, the reason, juice spill.

* TheAbridgedSeries: JettersAbridged [[http://youtube.com/teambulgebomb By Team Bulge Bomb]], a sister group to the creators of SgtFrogAbridged. Notably an AbridgedSeries that various goons at SomethingAwful have actually ''liked''.

* TheAce: Mighty is portrayed as this [[spoiler: at first--only for it to get deconstructed later as it is revealed that he fell for Mechadoc's XanatosGambit and [[UnwittingPawn died as a result]]. Other of [[MyGreatestFailure his screw-ups]] and {{Fatal Flaw}}s come to light during the series.]]

Make no mistake, ''Bomberman Jetters'' [[AnimationAgeGhetto really is a kids' show]], but for all that, it's pretty well done. The writers have skillfully avoided the problems associated with TheAnimeOfTheGame by doing their absolute best with the [[{{Bomberman}} source material]], which turns out to be quite a lot as the series [[CerebusSyndrome moves from]] a StrictlyFormula MonsterOfTheWeek show into compelling drama with more CharacterDevelopment than you can shake a stick at. You kind of even stop hating White Bomber in the end.

* TheAnimeOfTheGame: Of ''{{Bomberman}}'', of course.

* TheAbridgedSeries: JettersAbridged [[http://youtube.com/teambulgebomb By Team Bulge Bomb]], a sister group to the creators of SgtFrogAbridged. Notably an AbridgedSeries that various goons at SomethingAwful have actually ''[[BeyondTheImpossible liked]]''.
