History Series / OhsamaSentaiKingOhger

* ApocalypseHow: A good part of the series' backstory revolves around the catastrophe known as the "Fury of the Gods". 15 years ago, many Semishugods descended upon Tikyū and wrecked havoc on most of the kingdoms. While officially it is known as a natural disaster, it was confirmed in #16 that it was caused by a single person, but their identity is being kept hidden by Gokkan's former chief justice Karras for unknown reasons. Rita notes in #14 that many lives were lost during this incident, including Hymeno's parents, which led to the current monarchs having to forcibly take the throne when no one else could.

** At the climax of #41, [[spoiler: Racules suddenly turns his empowered OhgerCalibur ZERO on Dadged.]]

** Rita's position as Chief Justice requires them to personally sentence and rule over an entire people of criminals from all over Tiky - making them greatly unpopular and even resented in their own kingdom even though the story makes it clear how important their role is in maintaining law and order in the world at large, something their mentor and predecessor, Karras, imparted on them.

** As it turns out, [[spoiler: Racules himself played the role of a tyrant who wanted to take over the rule (and all that putting himself in such a position entails) in order to create the moment where he had the power to permanently strike down the seemingly untouchable Dagded.]]

** Among the many technological advancements in N'Kosopa is recognizable brand name products, like Yanma's Akracing gaming chair. Try not to think too hard about where they came from...

** Gira deals with this first hand in #25, where he has to recruit people close to him a potential suicide mission that could lead to the end of the world if they do not succeed, with time quickly running it. He literally had to have his [[=OhgerCalibur=] by Douga and directly confronted on his hesitation because he just sitting on the throne and hugging the sword due to not wanting to endanger a single person, even though the situation was a dire as it could get.

** Kaguragi is a man completely defined by his willingness to do what ever it takes to protect his nation and people, no matter what he has to do, having repeatedly used the phrase "dirty my hands" one way or another to express his dedication to this mindset.

** Iroki, the previous ruler of Toufu, was overthrown due to hording all of the nation's food supply during the Fury of the Gods. [[spoiler: It is revealed that she did this due to Toufu's crops being poisoned and hide this fact due to needing to protect her country's reputation as Toufu's entire infrastructure on the world stage was tied to its ability to provide food to the other kingdoms, even if it meant she herself had to die and be remembered as a tyrant.]]

* CentralTheme: The show tackles and explores the IDidWhatIHadToDo trope by showing multiple rulers in situations that force them to make hard decisions, even if it means dealing with the consequences and others judging them for it:

** One connected by a two-episode gap: At the end of episode #39, a cut-away reveals [[spoiler: Kaguragi is yet again scheming with Racules]] after being relatively honest for the majority of the TimeSkip. Come #41, that scheme is enacted: [[spoiler: he betrays Gira and hands Racules the [=OhgerCrownLance=]...only for ''that'' to have been a ruse to trick Dagded into handing Racules power that could hurt him]].

** In #38, Dagded is said to be a fan of ''The Rampage From Exile Tribe.''

* ProductPlacement: Among the many technological advancements in N'Kosopa is recognizable brand name products, like Yanma's Akracing gaming chair. Try not to think too hard about where they came from...

** #42 ends on a big whammy: [[spoiler: Racules has Gira down and Dadged hands him the power to slay immortals to finish him off. However, Racules betrays the emperor and reveals he's gonna use his new powers to finish him off instead, to Gira's shock.]]

** The events of the ''Kyoryuger'' crossover actively set up the plot for the following arc, since [[spoiler: the King-Ohgers had to manually fly from Earth back to Tikyu, [[TimeDilation which only took two days for them but ''six whole months'' for their planet]], giving the Jesters almost half a year to shape Tikyu to their liking]].

* TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil: Much like the previous series, ''King-Ohger'' plays with the conventional binary morality of Sentai by adding a third side. During the first half, we have the Kings who use their powers to protect their people (the Good); Racules, who hides his plans to conquer the other kingdoms behind a facade of benevolence (the Bad); and the Bognaarok, who aim to destroy the kingdoms of Tikyū altogether (the Evil). Jeramie's introduction has him initially fill in a fourth Neutral side, being an enigma to all the others, but he gradually becomes part of the Good after his failures catch up with him.

* SentencedWithoutTrial: The Fury of the Gods was ''such'' a devastating global event to the point where the previous King of Gokkan chose to [[NeutralNoLonger actively break her nation's vow of supreme legal neutrality so she could personally find and contain the suspect herself]]; her husband aiding her in FakingTheDead by [[TakingTheHeat posing as her killer for more than a decade to do so]].

** The shots where each Ranger shows extended limbs during the opening [[spoiler: are actually their '''[[MidSeasonUpgrade Hyouga Issen]]''' forms.]]

** Most ''Sentai'' villains are evil empires whose power stems from the fact that [[AnthropicPrinciple there wouldn't be a plot without them.]] The villains of ''King-Ohger's'' post-TimeSkip era are [[spoiler: EldritchAbomination[=s=] that are near-omnipotent by Tikyu's standards]], making the power gap wide enough to Justify their PlotArmor. Most victories against them come about through trickery and luck and inevitably come saddled with DiabolousExMachina down the line.

* TransformationIsAFreeAction: In addition to the protective amber that forms around each Ranger, the corresponding Shugod launches an energy construct of itself that strikes down enemies that get too close. The Reangers themselves are also capable of moving normally during the TransformationSequence.
