-->''Checker flag!''

** The villains have alcohol at the bar in their base which is pretty similar to what the enemies did in ''Carranger''.

* OutOfContextEavesdropping: In GP 46, Bomper runs away because he hears the rangers talking about something being malfunctioning. Bomper thinks they are talking about him, but the talk was actually about the bus Ginjiro.

* LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: Miu and Saki, respectively.

* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Miu and Saki, respectively.

'''Nigoru:''' My beautiful... BeaRV.\\

'''Saki:''' So [=BearR=] is the one you're confessing to?\\

* SingleStrokeBattle: [[spoiler:Yogostein's last standoff against Sōsuke.]]

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: GP 14: While Hant was ogling at [[PaperThinDisguise Kegalesia under a human disguise]], Sōsuke just ''had'' to choose that moment to place a big log in front of him. ''Upright''. And just to hammer it home, Hant later used the Super Highway Buster[[note]]A ''really'' long {{BFG}} in and of itself.[[/note]] ''all by himself''.

* InsultBackfire: Intentionally inverted with the Gaiark: Being the ones to thrive on pollution, they love anything dirty; literally or metaphorically.

** As such, when he decides to counter the Wings' technique by being random and upgrades himself into Detaramedes (''detarame'' = nonsense), he yells things like "1０－４＝２００!" or "６＋９＝５００!" while swinging and blasting wildly, or saying "Detarame Kick-Punch-Chop-Slash!" and then proceeding to ''not'' do those things in that order.

* PaletteSwap: Maki's QuirkyMinibossSquad from TheMovie get recolored for the series proper.

* PaperThinDisguise: Kegalesia appears in different human clothings now and then... [[WidgetSeries for whatever reasons there currently is]]. But whatever she's dress as, the tap on her head is a dead giveaway. [[SelectiveObliviousness Not that anyone]] [[DistractedByTheSexy ever noticed]]...

* {{Retraux}}: It may not look it, but ''Go-Onger'' has been lightly touched by this. On the one hand, there's the return to chunkier mecha designs; then there's Sōsuke's display of [[SeriousBusiness patriarchial chauvinism]] in ep 6, Renn (see YamatoNadeshiko below), that judo master's forest retreat, even the concept behind G3 Princesses is meant to be old-school... not to mention that the token JidaiGeki episode is a movie instead.

* SecretIdentity: Essentially discarded this time: Go-ongers have no qualms about revealing their identities or having them discovered. In fact, some of them even outright said it to people at some point. People [[SubvertedTrope even seem to know]] that [[SelectiveObliviousness the Go-ongers exist]]. They even have an online fansite. ''With UsefulNotes/{{ratings}} for all 7.''

** As the series went on, the Gaiark Ministers are shown to be quite an odd bunch of fellows themselves, rather than the initial impression of "Evil Invaders from Another Dimension". Near the end of the show surviving members realize just how low their rank with the organization really is.

* KiAttacks: When the Go-ongers lose their partner's Engine Souls in ''Go-onger vs. Gekiranger'', the Gekirangers teach them a new fighting move called "Engine Fist", where the Go-ongers project Geki versions of their Engine partners.

* 8 - Miu Sutou;/'''Go-On Silver''' - "Lovely Sensation": The younger sister. Warms up to the others sooner than her brother. Has BelligerentSexualTension with Sousuke.

** The Ministers have parts of the words related to pollution in their names; '''Yogo'''stein[[labelnote:*]]"''Yogosu''"/"Pollute"[[/labelnote]], '''Kegare'''shia[[labelnote:*]]"''Kegare''"/"Impurity"[[/labelnote]] and '''Kitanei'''das[[labelnote:*]]"''Kitanai''"/"Foul"[[/labelnote]]. [[labelnote:*]]Interestingly, all three words derive from the same Kanji.[[/labelnote]]
** And Hiramechimedes: His name comes from "''Hirameki''"[[labelnote:*]]"Flash", i.e: an idea.[[/labelnote]] and "Achimedes", tying him to his mathematics and strategy themes.

** The second line of opening lyrics say "''Ichi, Ni, San, Shi, Go-onger!''"; One of the {{Catch Phrase}}s of [[Series/TaiyouSentaiSunVulcan SunVulcan]] was "''Ichi, Ni, Sun''[[labelnote:*]]Sounds exactly the same as "''San''"/"Three".[[/labelnote]]''Vulcan!''".

* NeatFreak: Prince Nigoru[[labelnote:*]]Who, in the BIGGEST of ironies, a member of the Water Pollution branch ''and'' part of a ''Gaiark Royal Family''.[[/labelnote]] just loves ''everything'' a Gaiark can possibly hate; hygiene, beauty and love, among other things. [[spoiler:This trait of his is what prompted the patriotic Kegalesia to leave him to die when he lost against Saki and Miu.]]

* NonindicativeName: Try taking Hiramechimedes' attacks seriously after [[CallingYourAttacks hearing him say the names]].[[labelnote:*]]Do note that they're freakishly strong.[[/labelnote]]

* OnlyMostlyDead: [[spoiler: Hiramechimedes' grudge on Go-ongers made him linger on as a "''Yurei''"[[labelnote:*]]Vengeful spirit[[/labelnote]].]]

** For villains, the Gaiark Ministers are more ''antagonistic'' than actually ''evil'' for the most part; the reason they're the bad guys is because pollution is vital for their race and they just happened to choose the Human World for it, which puts them on the different side of the coin from the Go-ongers. The EnemyMine episode is one instance. [[spoiler:So, when it's their turn to die, it was quite sad]], especially after [[spoiler:what Kegalesia and Kitaneidas said with their last breath]].[[labelnote:*]]Of course, this is one viewpoint of AlternativeCharacterInterpretation.[[/labelnote]]
** In the same vein, even Hiramechimedes can count. [[spoiler:Originally a second-rate member of Gaiark, he initially planned to assassinate Yogostein to take his position. But then, to his surprise, Yogostein offered him the position of second-in-command... which prompted him to completely devote his entire self to his Minister without question. After beaten again and again by Go-ongers, he finally threw away his precious mind by overloading himself with PsychoSerum to match them with raw power, despite Yogostein's plea. ''All'' for his master right until his last moment...]] * sniff* [[TearJerker Pardon me...]]
* PunnyName: [=GunBir=]-Oh. [[labelnote:*]]"[=GunBir=]" = "ganbaru" = "hang in there"/"fight"/"do your best".[[/labelnote]]

** Ladies and gentlemen; welcome to the [[Series/KamenRiderDenO Den-O]] of ''Franchise/SuperSentai''[[labelnote:*]]In terms of [[RearrangeTheSong soundtrack redundancy]].[[/labelnote]].
** The main one has twelve different verses, one per Engine, split across four "Laps".[[labelnote:*]]Possibly also a pun considering "Rap" and "Lap" are pronounced identically in Japanese.[[/labelnote]]
*** "Engine First Lap -Type Normal-"[[labelnote:*]]Speedor, Bus-on and Bearrv[[/labelnote]]
*** "Engine Second Lap -Turbo Custom-"[[labelnote:*]]Birca, Gunpherd and Carrigator[[/labelnote]]
*** "Engine Third Lap -Aero Dynamic Custom-"[[labelnote:*]]Toripter, Jetras, Jum-bowhale[[/labelnote]]
*** "Engine Final Lap -Type Evolution-"[[labelnote:*]]Kishamoth, T-Line, K-Line[[/labelnote]]

** Hiramechimedes: Yogostein's vice-minister. Fiercely loyal, and in return, Yogostein values him more than anything.

* Air Pollution Minister, Kitaneidas

* DuckSeasonRabbitSeason: Happens at the end of GP 07, when Hant and Gunpei are arguing over who should be Carrigator's partner first and foremost, and end up accidentally swapping [[JapanesePronouns pronouns]] in the process.
