Added DiffLines:
* GenreThrowback: Eiji as [[SixthRanger R5]] is basically a Showa Era Toku protagonist, complete with InTheNameOfTheMoon proclamations, [[LargeHam an abundance of ham]], and being as HotBlooded as they come.
Added DiffLines:
* OldSuperhero: Done in only a way Tokusatsu could: when Eiji dons his R5 suit and returns to action, the fact he's from the previous generation is played up...by having him act like a Showa Era tokusatsu superhero rather than a more modern one.

* AndKnowingIsHalfTheBattle
* AscendedFanboy - Hikaru Todoroki/R1
* AlternateContinuity - The movie (which introduces one of the vehicles and one of the characters before they were actually introduced in proper context).
* AIisACrapshoot - Averted with Rescue Striker's AI. Even when it begins malfunctioning dangerously in one episode, it realizes what is happening and politely requests to be replaced if it keeps malfunctioning.
* BadassGrandpa - Juri's martial arts-practicing grandfather in one episode (who at one point even ''steals the R5 suit'' to help his granddaughter out).
* BaseOnWheels - Rescue Phoenix (actually more of a "base on wings").
* BrainwashedAndCrazy [[spoiler:Daaen, though sort of subverted in that said brainwashing actually amplified Oobuchi's hatred of humanity from the incident where he went AWOL, qualifying it partially as MoreThanMindControl.]]

* CelebrityStar - The episode with [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daisuke_Naito Daisuke Naito]], a real life boxing champion. Played ridiculously over-the-top: suddenly everyone (even the villains!) is enthralled with boxing, and constantly talk about how awesome Naito is. The man himself is introduced with a TwinkleSmile.
*** It doesn't help that before that, he made appearances at the end of several episodes in a Rescue Force uniform to [[SesameStreetCred give encouragement messages]] to the kids watching at home.
* ChainsawGood - Rescue Crusher in Mantis Mode.
* ChewingTheScenery - Later episodes give the impression that the actors are ''trying'' to make each other corpse with their ridiculously over-the-top acting.
* CombiningMecha - The culmination of all these mecha is God Striker, a multi-armed vehicle that can ''fly'', despite all the weight on it. Like ''Ryukendo'', God is only the halfway mark. The new vehicles are added onto the old to create ''Great'' God Striker, a flying monstrosity of a mecha.
* CompanionCube - Juri's medical training dummy.
* CoolCar - The "Core" vehicles which form the cockpit of the HumongousMecha.
** In the movie, Core Striker Fire has a built in chamber for a TransformationSequence and a Javelin/Pickaxe weapon hidden underneath and is thus automatically the coolest.
** The Tomica company is ''primarily'' known for its' 1/64 scale deicast toys based on real cars. If you have a Japanese car that wasn't made [[strike: primarily]] entirely for export, chances are there's a Tomica model of it.

* {{Doppelganger}} - Episode 40, which has Juri (played by Emi Hasegawa) meeting... famous [[IdolSinger idol]] Eri Haseyama.

** TheChick - Juri Shiraki/R4
** TheSmartGuy and TheMentor - Eiji Ishiguro/R5
** SixthRanger - Natsuno "Nancy" Nanbu/RU and technically also Reiji Osakabe (R0) in the movie, though he doesn't lurk outside of the action for long.
*** The original team apply as well, though we have to guess a little bit. Obuchi/R1 was probably TheHero with his [[SempaiKouhai Kouhai]] and best friend Eiji Ishiguro/R5 serving as TheLancer. Naomi Okamura/R3 being the lady who created a lot of Rescue Force technology would mark her out as TheSmartGuy. Kamiya's fighting talent and strength would indicate that he's TheBigGuy while Natsuno "Nancy" Nanbu/R4 is implied to have been the TeamMom.
* GenderBender - One episode has Maaen creating some kind of virus to turn all men into women.
* HeroicResolve
* HoldingBackThePhlebotinum - The team need to secure approval from either captain Eiji Ishiguro or commander Natsuno "Nancy" Nanbu before they are allowed to use a Final Rescue.
* HotBlooded
* HumansAreBastards - Daaen's motivation.
* HumongousMecha
** Rescue Striker + Rescue Saver = Rescue Max
** Rescue Striker + Rescue Diver = Super Rescue Max
*** MechaExpansionPack
**** Rescue Max + Rescue Drill + Rescue Dozer = Rescue Max Drill Dozer

* InstantAIJustAddWater - Maaen
* {{Joshikousei}} - When Neo-Terror release a virus that [[GenderBender turns men into women]] Hikaru ends up wearing this.
* {{Kawaiiko}} - Maaen, when she's [[{{Tsundere}} not in a bad mood]].
* TheLadette - Rei Kozuki
* MacrossMissileMassacre - [[spoiler:Baatsu launches several of these in the second-to-last episode.]]
* MechaExpansionPack - Several, including a shovel, a ladder, a crane, a bulldozer, [[BlowYouAway a fan]], and of course [[DrillTank a drill]].
* TheMedic - Juri Shiraki
* MightyGlacier - Shiika
* MirrorMatch - AI Daaen (and its Black Core Striker.)
* MissionControl - Eiji Ishiguro, the commander of Rescue Force who makes the final call regarding the use of a Final Rescue.
* MoodSwinger - ''Maaen''. A thousand times ''Maaen''.
* {{Mooks}} - Axts also known as Axto-Domo and Axto-Tachi.
** EliteMooks - Maens personal bodyguard are completly black versions of the axts with horns and red bows as well as being armed with swords.
* NaiveNewcomer - Hikaru Todoroki
* NeverTellMeTheOdds - Less than 0.1% chance of winning? Pssh, whatever.
* NiceHat - Reiji Osakabe's skewed fedora in the movie. His signature move seems to be tweaking the brim downward with two fingers (though in a CrowningMomentOfAwesome [[spoiler:he tosses the hat away before he Chakusous into R0]])
* NitroBoost
* NonSerialMovie - Probably, no one's explicitly stated the canonicity of the movie but the Rescue Zamber, Rescue Diver and Zero Fire appear in different ways in the movie than they do in the series. Also one episode involves Rei winning a pair of tickets to ride the "Mach Train" which happens in the movie but with different results.
* NotQuiteDead - [[spoiler:Maaen]].
* PowerGivesYouWings - Super Rescue Max. It's Rescue Max, but with wings!
* RidiculouslyHumanRobots - The Three Great Commanders of Neo Terror (and Maaen, though she's [[InstantAIJustAddWater technically not a robot]].)
* RoarBeforeBeating ()
* RobotBuddy - The A.I. of the Rescue Commanders.
* RollerbladeGood - Rescue Max
* RuleOfCool
* SerialEscalation- How [[MundaneMadeAwesome needlessly cool]] can this show make the {{Rescue}} genre? What kind of WaveMotionGun will be used to save the city this week?
** ''Delightfully'' subverted in the final episode as well. The big danger isn't solved by whipping out the biggest guns, but by [[spoiler: 'explosively suppressing' your fear and doing what has to be done]].
* ShoutOut - To ''Series/MadanSenkiRyukendo'', naturally.
* SuperMode - R1 Max.
* SurprisinglyGoodEnglish - The Supreme Commander, aka Nancy.
* StockFootage
* SwissArmyWeapon - In droves. You've got Rescue Breaker, which has eight modes[[note]]Mobile Mode, [[AnAxeToGrind Break Ax]], Break Hammer, Break Pick, Break Rope, Break Hand, Break Shot and Break Drill[[/note]] (granted, only seven of which are preserved in the actual toy); Rescue Crusher, which has three[[note]][[ChainsawGood Mantis Mode]], Whale Mode and Drill Crusher[[/note]] (one of which uses Rescue Breaker's Break Drill mode); and R1 Max's Max Divider, which also has three (well, five, if you count the three sub-modes of Divider Mode)[[note]]Sword Mode, Drill Mode and Divider Mode which is further split into Flame Divider, Sonic Divider, Aqua Divider[[/note]].
* TerribleTrio - Neo Terror's "Three Great Executives": Maaru, Saan and Shiika.
* ThemeMusicPowerUp
* ThisIsADrill - Obvious for a show like this. Rescue Breaker as Break Drill; Rescue Crusher in Drill Mode (which uses Break Drill as an attachment); the medium vehicle Rescue Drill (actually a DrillTank).
* TransformingMecha
* TransformationSequence (''"Chakusou!"'')
* VerbalTic - Apparently being a Neo Terror android/virtual construct means you come with one of these. Great Commander Saan suffixes his sentences with "gansu"; Shiika suffixes them with "gossu"; Maaen has a habit of suffixing sentences with "no da;" the Axto Mooks only say "zansu!" over and over.
** Maaru is the only exception, though you might be able to present a good case in her habit of using "mou!" whenever she's disappointed. (Though it really doesn't happen ''that'' often.)
* VictoryPose - Upon learning that he is in consideration to be the driver of a new TransformingMecha, Kyosuke's first priority is...To decide on his VictoryPose.
** Another episode features Hikaru and Kyosuke spending their free time trying to synchronize their victory poses so that it'll look cooler when they complete something.
** Mere seconds after [[CombiningMecha Rescue Max's]] First victory Kyosuke realises that he and Hikaru need to update their ''"Bakushin Kanryou!"'' pose.
* VillainousHarlequin - Maaen, Daaen's "daughter" (and the next step up the SortingAlgorithmOfEvil).
* WaveMotionGun - Most (if not all) Final Rescues.

*** It doesn't help that before that, he made appearances at the end of several episodes in a Rescue Force uniform to [[SesameStreetCred give encouragement messages]] to the kids watching at home.
* ChainsawGood - Rescue Crusher in Mantis Mode.
* ChewingTheScenery - Later episodes give the impression that the actors are ''trying'' to make each other corpse with their ridiculously over-the-top acting.
* CombiningMecha - The culmination of all these mecha is God Striker, a multi-armed vehicle that can ''fly'', despite all the weight on it. Like ''Ryukendo'', God is only the halfway mark. The new vehicles are added onto the old to create ''Great'' God Striker, a flying monstrosity of a mecha.
* CompanionCube - Juri's medical training dummy.
* CoolCar - The "Core" vehicles which form the cockpit of the HumongousMecha.
** In the movie, Core Striker Fire has a built in chamber for a TransformationSequence and a Javelin/Pickaxe weapon hidden underneath and is thus automatically the coolest.
** The Tomica company is ''primarily'' known for its' 1/64 scale deicast toys based on real cars. If you have a Japanese car that wasn't made [[strike: primarily]] entirely for export, chances are there's a Tomica model of it.
* CoolOldGuy - UFDA Director Reiji Osakabe (R0) embodies this trope in the movie. It certainly doesn't hurt that he's played by HiroshiFujioka. He later shows up in ''Rescue Fire'', where he takes on more of an OldMaster vibe.
* CrewOfOne - Rescue Striker and Rescue Saver. Their BaseOnWheels appears to have a crew of ''five''.
* CuteBruiser - ''"Kajiba no Super Power!!!"''
* DancingTheme - [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfWDuKXbNC8 In the movie.]]
* {{Doppelganger}} - Episode 40, which has Juri (played by Emi Hasegawa) meeting... famous [[IdolSinger idol]] Eri Haseyama. And then they [[SwappedRoles swap places]], so Eri Haseyama is acting as Juri and Juri, played by Emi is acting as... Eri... yeah, [[MindScrew don't think too hard about this episode]].
* DropShip - Rescue Phoenix
* ElegantGothicLolita - Maaen
* EvilCounterpart
* FinishingMove - Final Rescue
* FiveManBand
** TheHero - Hikaru Todoroki/R1
** TheLancer - Kyosuke Jinrai/R2 (Hikaru and Kyosuke are best friends.
** TheBigGuy - Rei Kozuki/R3 (Not an exact fit, but she is the most capable member of the team in a fight)
** TheChick - Juri Shiraki/R4
** TheSmartGuy and TheMentor - Eiji Ishiguro/R5
** SixthRanger - Natsuno "Nancy" Nanbu/RU and technically also Reiji Osakabe (R0) in the movie, though he doesn't lurk outside of the action for long.
*** The original team apply as well, though we have to guess a little bit. Obuchi/R1 was probably TheHero with his [[SempaiKouhai Kouhai]] and best friend Eiji Ishiguro/R5 serving as TheLancer. Naomi Okamura/R3 being the lady who created a lot of Rescue Force technology would mark her out as TheSmartGuy. Kamiya's fighting talent and strength would indicate that he's TheBigGuy while Natsuno "Nancy" Nanbu/R4 is implied to have been the TeamMom.
* GenderBender - One episode has Maaen creating some kind of virus to turn all men into women.
* HeroicResolve
* HoldingBackThePhlebotinum - The team need to secure approval from either captain Eiji Ishiguro or commander Natsuno "Nancy" Nanbu before they are allowed to use a Final Rescue.
* HotBlooded
* HumansAreBastards - Daaen's motivation.
* HumongousMecha
** Rescue Striker + Rescue Saver = Rescue Max
** Rescue Striker + Rescue Diver = Super Rescue Max
*** MechaExpansionPack
**** Rescue Max + Rescue Drill + Rescue Dozer = Rescue Max Drill Dozer
**** Super Rescue Max + Rescue Crane = Super Rescue Max Crane
* InstantAIJustAddWater - Maaen
* {{Joshikousei}} - When Neo-Terror release a virus that [[GenderBender turns men into women]] Hikaru ends up wearing this.
* {{Kawaiiko}} - Maaen, when she's [[{{Tsundere}} not in a bad mood]].
* TheLadette - Rei Kozuki
* MacrossMissileMassacre - [[spoiler:Baatsu launches several of these in the second-to-last episode.]]
* MechaExpansionPack - Several, including a shovel, a ladder, a crane, a bulldozer, [[BlowYouAway a fan]], and of course [[DrillTank a drill]].
* TheMedic - Juri Shiraki
* MightyGlacier - Shiika
* MirrorMatch - AI Daaen (and its Black Core Striker.)
* MissionControl - Eiji Ishiguro, the commander of Rescue Force who makes the final call regarding the use of a Final Rescue.
* MoodSwinger - ''Maaen''. A thousand times ''Maaen''.
* {{Mooks}} - Axts also known as Axto-Domo and Axto-Tachi.
** EliteMooks - Maens personal bodyguard are completly black versions of the axts with horns and red bows as well as being armed with swords.
* NaiveNewcomer - Hikaru Todoroki
* NeverTellMeTheOdds - Less than 0.1% chance of winning? Pssh, whatever.
* NiceHat - Reiji Osakabe's skewed fedora in the movie. His signature move seems to be tweaking the brim downward with two fingers (though in a CrowningMomentOfAwesome [[spoiler:he tosses the hat away before he Chakusous into R0]])
* NitroBoost
* NonSerialMovie - Probably, no one's explicitly stated the canonicity of the movie but the Rescue Zamber, Rescue Diver and Zero Fire appear in different ways in the movie than they do in the series. Also one episode involves Rei winning a pair of tickets to ride the "Mach Train" which happens in the movie but with different results.
* NotQuiteDead - [[spoiler:Maaen]].
* PowerGivesYouWings - Super Rescue Max. It's Rescue Max, but with wings!
* RidiculouslyHumanRobots - The Three Great Commanders of Neo Terror (and Maaen, though she's [[InstantAIJustAddWater technically not a robot]].)
* RoarBeforeBeating ()
* RobotBuddy - The A.I. of the Rescue Commanders.
* RollerbladeGood - Rescue Max
* RuleOfCool
* SerialEscalation- How [[MundaneMadeAwesome needlessly cool]] can this show make the {{Rescue}} genre? What kind of WaveMotionGun will be used to save the city this week?
** ''Delightfully'' subverted in the final episode as well. The big danger isn't solved by whipping out the biggest guns, but by [[spoiler: 'explosively suppressing' your fear and doing what has to be done]].
* ShoutOut - To ''Series/MadanSenkiRyukendo'', naturally.
* SuperMode - R1 Max.
* SurprisinglyGoodEnglish - The Supreme Commander, aka Nancy.
* StockFootage
* SwissArmyWeapon - In droves. You've got Rescue Breaker, which has eight modes[[note]]Mobile Mode, [[AnAxeToGrind Break Ax]], Break Hammer, Break Pick, Break Rope, Break Hand, Break Shot and Break Drill[[/note]] (granted, only seven of which are preserved in the actual toy); Rescue Crusher, which has three[[note]][[ChainsawGood Mantis Mode]], Whale Mode and Drill Crusher[[/note]] (one of which uses Rescue Breaker's Break Drill mode); and R1 Max's Max Divider, which also has three (well, five, if you count the three sub-modes of Divider Mode)[[note]]Sword Mode, Drill Mode and Divider Mode which is further split into Flame Divider, Sonic Divider, Aqua Divider[[/note]].
* TerribleTrio - Neo Terror's "Three Great Executives": Maaru, Saan and Shiika.
* ThemeMusicPowerUp
* ThisIsADrill - Obvious for a show like this. Rescue Breaker as Break Drill; Rescue Crusher in Drill Mode (which uses Break Drill as an attachment); the medium vehicle Rescue Drill (actually a DrillTank).
* TransformingMecha
* TransformationSequence (''"Chakusou!"'')
* VerbalTic - Apparently being a Neo Terror android/virtual construct means you come with one of these. Great Commander Saan suffixes his sentences with "gansu"; Shiika suffixes them with "gossu"; Maaen has a habit of suffixing sentences with "no da;" the Axto Mooks only say "zansu!" over and over.
** Maaru is the only exception, though you might be able to present a good case in her habit of using "mou!" whenever she's disappointed. (Though it really doesn't happen ''that'' often.)
* VictoryPose - Upon learning that he is in consideration to be the driver of a new TransformingMecha, Kyosuke's first priority is...To decide on his VictoryPose.
** Another episode features Hikaru and Kyosuke spending their free time trying to synchronize their victory poses so that it'll look cooler when they complete something.
** Mere seconds after [[CombiningMecha Rescue Max's]] First victory Kyosuke realises that he and Hikaru need to update their ''"Bakushin Kanryou!"'' pose.
* VillainousHarlequin - Maaen, Daaen's "daughter" (and the next step up the SortingAlgorithmOfEvil).
* WaveMotionGun - Most (if not all) Final Rescues.
