History Series / OhsamaSentaiKingOhger

* DarkerAndEdgier: In comparison to the DenserAndWackier nature of ''Zenkaiger'' and ''Donbrothers'', ''King-Ohger'' has quite a few elements that clearly steer towards a darker direction, such as its politically-charged conflict, abundance of morally gray characters, actively threatening villains, and more overt brutality. While the humor is still present, it often leans towards {{Bathos}} than Sentai's typical SurrealHumor.

!!Here written are the Tropes, or so I heard...

!!Tropes

! Due to its nature as a StealthSequel to ''Series/ZyudenSentaiKyoryuger'', all spoilers for it may have been unmarked. Administrivia/YouHaveBeenWarned!

* ApocalypseHow: A good part of the series' backstory revolves around the catastrophe known as the "Fury of the Gods". 17 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.

* ColorWash: The series makes use of this to differentiate between certain kingdoms. For instance, Shugoddam has a reddish hue, N'Kosopa has a blue hue, Ishabana has a light yellow hue, and Gokkan has a light blue hue. Additionally, scenes that take place during sunset or sunrise get a significant orange hue to them.

** The Galactinsect Empire don't use the MonsterOfTheWeek schemes most Sentai villains do. Instead, they have the Jesters, who alternate as they try different plans each time. This hasn't been seen in the franchise since ''Series/ChoudenshiBioman'', 38 years ago.
** An extremely rare case of a Sentai that tells a continuous, serialized story.

** As it turns out, [[spoiler: Rcules 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, even if it means being remembered as the most evil king in history .]]
** [[spoiler: Corsus specifically states that it is the king's duty to kill his emotions in order to protect the future of his people, encouraging this mindset to Rcules while insisting that he uses Gira as a tool to take down Dagded.]]

''Ohsama Sentai King-Ohger'' (roughly translated as "Kingship Squadron King-Ohger") is the 47th entry in the ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' franchise and the fifth series in the Reiwa Era, airing alongside ''Series/KamenRiderGeats'' -- and later, ''Series/KamenRiderGotchard'' -- in the Series/SuperHeroTime block from March 5, 2023 to February 25, 2024, replacing ''Series/AvataroSentaiDonbrothers''. The series' overall themes are arthropods and royalty.

** For the first five episodes: "Rainbow Jururira". This proves to be the key regarding Gira's identity. [[spoiler: And it also the reason why he lost his memories in the first place.]]

* {{Worldbuilding}}: The history of Tikyū and the nations that make up it receive a lot of detail throughout the show.

** Kaguragi is a man completely defined by his willingness to do whatever 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.
** Rita's position as Chief Justice requires them to personally sentence and rule over an entire people of criminals from all over Tikyu - 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; a lesson their mentor and predecessor, Karras, imparted on them since they were a child.

** #32 has Gira as the only King-Ohger able to transform without his Shugod present and God Kuwagata's spirit appears from his ''stomach'' to power the King Gaburicalibur. [[spoiler:#43 reveals that the Rainbow Jujurira he ate as a child had been made using God Kuwagata's Shugod Soul, basically transferring it to his body.]]

** [[spoiler: Corsus specifically states that it is the king's duty to kill his emotions in order to protect the future of his people, encouraging this mindset to Racules while insisting that he uses Gira as a tool to take down Dagded.]]

** The shots where each Ranger shows extended limbs during the opening [[spoiler: are actually their ''[[MidSeasonUpgrade Hyouga Issen]]'' forms.]]
** During the insurrection of Shugoddam by the Bognaarok, Boshimar and Kamejim are never seen at the same time. It's our first concrete indication that they're one and the same.

* ContinuityCreep: The series is far more serialized than its predecessors, as each episode manages to follow the the next in some capacity. The episodes are also grouped into interconnected arcs that tie together with the overall MythArc.

** #41 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 his true goals to gain the power to finish him off instead, to Gira's shock.]]

** #41 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.]]

** 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.
