History Series / KousokuSentaiTurboranger

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Yamimaru and Kilika. To the surprise, the resident bitch Jarmin is actually showing some genuine feelings with the resident love-hater Zimba, and he reciprocates by taking her place first when Ragorn sentenced her to death, and when he died, she felt rather crushed.

* Magitek: The heroes' powers are a result of fusing faerie magic and super science

* Jarmin: TheDarkChick, and occasional crosser of the MoralEventHorizon. The bitch.

* FiveManBand: There are two {{Smart Guy}}s on the team. [[labelnote:note]]Daichi the GeniusBruiser and Haruna the StudentCouncilPresident[[/labelnote]]

* {{Mook}}s: The Wulars

* TheChewToy - Yohei just can't seem to take a break. Aside of being the teacher's most prominent target of scolding (aside of Riki, that is), he gets poisoned and nearly dying in place of Haruna (and then she accidentally hit him on the head using volleyball); then a Boma swapped his face with a {{Nerd}} who proceeds to show cowardice using his face; while Yohei had to do heroics with the Nerd's face, and when the face returns to default, the girls who used to swoon over him now abandon him for the Nerd thanks to the heroics Yohei did using the Nerd's face and the Nerd's cowardice using Yohei's face.

* DealWithTheDevil - One MonsterOfTheWeek heals a girl's finger so she can play flute in a concert, but whenever she plays her flute in front of children, it steals their energy and makes them sick.
* DirtyCoward - Zulten works for whoever is in charge of Boma Castle at the time. He has no loyalty to anyone.
* DoItYourselfThemeTune - The opening and endings are sung by Kenta Satou, who plays Red Turbo. He even puts on his old costume when he does them in concert.
* TheDulcineaEffect - One episode has Youhei meet a girl with the same name as a girl he was friends with as a kid who lives in the same house, which is said to be cursed, which caused his old friend to leave. Turns out the curse was because of a MonsterOfTheWeek sealed in the house's basement.
* DynamicEntry - The Turbo Robo always open up the fight with this (using fist, though), since it roller-skates to the opponent upon formation.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes - Yamimaru and Kilika. To the surprise, the resident bitch Jarmin is actually showing some genuine feelings with the resident love-hater Zimba, and he reciprocates by taking her place first when Ragorn sentenced her to death, and when he died, she felt rather crushed.
* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses - Inverted. It's so much worse in the Bouma since said Princess is Jarmin. Thankfully she didn't last very long. Played straight with Bellchime Bouma, a princess that decide to stop fighting against human and become friend with them but is forced by Jarmin to fight the Turboranger.
* FakeDefector - Haruna makes up a plan to [[FakingAmnesia fake amnesia]] to recover an antidote on the fly after taking a hit to the head during battle. Despite being unplanned it works flawlessly.
* FlungClothing - During a BigDamnHeroes moment when the Turborangers dress up like samurai in order to save Daichi and a kid from a MonsterOfTheWeek that transforms people into samurai who think they're in ancient Japan, the disguised Turboranger do this after destroying the monster's hat that it uses for the transformation.
* FreezeFrameBonus - comes into play as early as the first episode, where Jarmin's snake face flashes for a bit on the screen. Brrr.
* GreenAesop - See SpaceWhaleAesop below.
* HalfHumanHybrid - Yamimaru and Kilika
* [[spoiler:HappilyMarried]] - [[spoiler:Masked Bouma(Kilika's father) and Kilika's mother(a human woman)]]
* IWillPunishYourFriendForYourFailure - A severely cruel one is pulled by Jarmin, holding the whole Bell Chime tribe as a hostage for Bell Chime Boma to fight the Turborangers, and when she eventually was thwarted, Jarmin personally destroyed the whole tribe in front of her. This is one move that cements her to be Turboranger's biggest bitch.
* LoveHurts - Zimba's origin. What makes him a TragicMonster was that his love WAS genuine, but the princess he was wooing rejected him in the time he needed mostly and stated how much she disliked him... like a ''bitch''. No wonder Zimba got pissed.

* MeaningfulName - The Turborangers are named after the elements and/or parts of the Earth..

* MixAndMatch- Unlike all other Sentai which has a general theme for everything Turboranger has its various parts pulled seemingly at random. High School students use car themed powers and weapons, powered by fairies to fight demons? It somehow works but it comes off as really weird at times.
* MonsterClown - The Wular Soldiers (Mooks.)

** Also the episode with a HumongousMecha sumo wrestling the MonsterOfTheWeek after the villains [[MakeMyMonsterGrow make their monster grow.]]
* OddlyNamedSequel: This is the first sentai to use the "-ranger" suffix since Series/HimitsuSentaiGoranger. At the time, "-man" was the dominant suffix, which had been used for the previous six sentai in a row (plus one additional time before that).
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou - Nagareboshi/Yamimaru goes so far as to tell Riki the weakness of one MonsterOfTheWeek so that he won't be killed by the Hundred Boma Tribes.
* RecruitTeenagersWithAttitude - Preceded even the Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers in this situation. Granted, Seelon has the justifications that they saw her kin in the past, but there are other kids who saw her that way, but... maybe they lack attitude so they do not get chosen.
* RedOniBlueOni - The two henchmen of Onibōma in Episode 9 were literally a Red Oni and a Blue Oni. Episode 18 uses the more subtle one with the Gōkaku Bōma brothers.
* RedStringOfFate - Yamimaru and Kilika, he even uses it literally to save her from falling to her death.
* SealedEvilInACan - The Hundred Boma Tribes.
* SpaceWhaleAesop - Take care of nature, or else the fairies won't be able to protect Earth from the Hundred Bōma Tribes.
* WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld - Early on, the Turborangers (mainly Riki) are always getting yelled out by their teacher for shirking class. Lessened later on as the teacher becomes less cartoony and is shown to genuinely care about her students.
* WhipItGood - Jarmin's weapon of choice.

** TheLancer: Daichi [[note]]He's the foil to Riki's BookDumb status. He is also the go-guy for second-in-command[[/note]]

** SwissArmyWeapon: The Turbolasers. [[note]][[{{Handguns}} Gun]] and [[CoolSword Sword]] modes[[/note]]

** Youhei: [[CoolGuns J-Gun]] [[note]]J-Gun + Turbolaser Gun Mode = [[MoreDakka J-Machine Gun]][[/note]]

* ActingForTwo: Masako Morishita portrayed Kilika [[spoiler:and her human mother.]]

* DawsonCasting - Only Jun-ichi Katagiri (Shunsuke) was actually a teenager when he did the series. The rest of the rangers were in their early [=20s=].

* MilestoneCelebration: The first episode was a {{clip show}} which summarizes all of the previous ''Sentai'' shows since ''Battle Fever J''. All 48 ''Sentai'' warriors from said shows appear in the special to lent their support to the five Turborangers.

* BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: The letter on each Turboranger's belt buckle represents his or her designated Turbo Machine: GT (for Gran Tourer), J(eep), T(ruck), B(uggy) and W(agon).

* EyeCatch: In the Super Sentai retrospective, the eyecatch before the break shows Red Turbo posing with the ten previous red rangers ([[Series/BattleFeverJ Battle Japan]], [[Series/DenshiSentaiDenziman Denzi Red]], [[Series/TaiyouSentaiSunVulcan Vul Eagle]], [[Series/DaiSentaiGoggleFive Goggle Red]], [[Series/KagakuSentaiDynaman Dyna Red]], [[Series/ChoudenshiBioman Red One]], [[Series/DengekiSentaiChangeman Change Dragon]], [[Series/ChoushinseiFlashman Red Flash]], [[Series/HikariSentaiMaskman Red Mask]] and [[Series/ChoujuuSentaiLiveman Red Falcon]]). After the break, the eyecatch features Pink Turbo posing with all the heroines from the previous teams (Miss America, Denzi Pink, Goggle Pink, Dyna Pink, Yellow Four & Pink Five, Change Mermaid & Change Phoenix, Yellow Flash & Pink Flash, Yellow Mask & Pink Mask and Blue Dolphin).
** In the series proper, for going to commercial, Turborobo is shown then becomes the Turborangers and a colorful explosion. Coming back from the commercial, we have Seelon showering fairy dust then showing Saint Beast Lakia.

* CombinationAttack: One of their team attacks is called "CombinationAttack!"

* {{Crossover}}: The first episode is a retrospective of all the previous Sentai shows since ''Series/BattleFeverJ''. However, it is not an actual crossover, as the previous rangers [[FakeShemp only appear in costume]] to [[SuperSentaiStance pose]] with the current team and they're not involved in any actual storyline. Still, the retrospective did have the largest on-screen gathering of Sentai teams with 53 rangers (ten teams of five, plus [[Series/TaiyouSentaiSunVulcan a trio]]), a record later broken by ''Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger'' with exactly 146 additional heroes.
* EyeCatch: In the Super Sentai retrospective, the eyecatch before the break shows Red Turbo posing with the ten previous red rangers ([[Series/BattleFeverJ Battle Japan]], [[Series/DenshiSentaiDenziman Denzi Red]], [[Series/TaiyouSentaiSunVulcan Vul Eagle]], [[Series/DaiSentaiGoggleFive Goggle Red]], [[Series/KagakuSentaiDynaman Dyna Red]], [[Series/ChoudenshiBioman Red One]], [[Series/DengekiSentaiChangeman Change Dragon]], [[Series/ChoushinseiFlashman Red Flash]], [[Series/HikariSentaiMaskman Red Mask]] and [[Series/ChoujuuSentaiLiveman Red Falcon]]).

Because of nature being destroyed, the fairies can no longer maintain the seal on the Hundred Boma Tribes, who have now revived in an attempt to TakeOverTheWorld. The fairy, Chiron, under the command of Saint Beast Rakiya, calls out to five warriors who can hear her voice, five high school students (who apparently stumbled upon the fairies lair and witnessed them). And they fight the Boma, using the combined power of mysticism from Chiron, and science (mainly cars) from their guiding professor as the Turborangers!

* Redha: [[EvilGenius Genius]] [[TheDragon Dragon]]

* TheMovie: A new MonsterOfTheWeek tried to revive his 'dad', who caused Chiron's sister to die sealing it. The Turborangers must stop the monster before Chiron tried to sacrifice her life sealing the monster like her sister. (Note: Yamimaru hasn't appeared during the Movie's run)

* TheSmurfettePrinciple: The second lone girl in a row and a return to pink. However, Chiron does serve the role of a second heroine to the team, much like Colon did to Liveman, despite not being in the core team and not even fighting occasionally like Colon.

* AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: Rakiya at the beginning. [[spoiler:Chiron followed suit at the end]].

* RecruitTeenagersWithAttitude - Preceded even the Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers in this situation. Granted, Chiron has the justifications that they saw her kin in the past, but there are other kids who saw her that way, but... maybe they lack attitude so they do not get chosen.

* DawsonCasting - Only Jun-ichi Katagiri (Shunsuke) was 18 (the average age of a high school senior) when the series was filmed. The rest were barely in their early [=20s=].

''Kōsoku Sentai Turboranger'' (High-Speed Squadron Turboranger) is the thirteenth entry of SuperSentai series, airing from 1989 to 1990. Before the retroactive recognition of ''HimitsuSentaiGoranger'' and ''JAKQDengekitai'' into the franchise, this is the series that celebrates the 10th anniversary of the Sentai franchise.
