History YMMV / ChoushinseiFlashman

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Sara being the real main character of the series is a fairly popular interpretation, given how she arguably goes through the biggest character arc and is [[spoiler:the only one to find her family in the end.]]

* AntiClimaxBoss: [[spoiler:For the big, intimidating alien overlord he's built up to be, Ra Deus goes down like any other MonsterOfTheWeek apart from needing two shots from Rolling Vulcan to take him down. This also applies to the Mess as a whole, as instead of being defeated in a big climactic battle, their downfall comes mostly due to [[EnemyCivilWar infighting destroying their internal hierarchy]] and the Flashmen picking off their key members once they get isolated. The last one to go down is Lee Keflen, who's only line of defense against the Flashmen is to offer them a DealWithTheDevil that gets quickly rejected.]]

* EpilepticTrees: The final scene of the finale ([[spoiler:a shot of Ra Deus's broken mask before fading into some flowers]]) can either be interpreted as [[spoiler:showing that the conflict is over and that nature has triumphed over the Mess's twisted experiments]] or [[spoiler:a sign that Ra Deus isn't fully dead yet [[TheEndOrIsIt and may return someday]].]]

* NightmareRetardant: The freaky-ass Kuragen, a mutated jellyfish, is sent out each ep to [[MakeMyMonsterGrow enlarge the monster]], and is pretty damn scary looking, emerging from a red vortex and firing a beam from its' big red eye.... and when it's done, due to [[LiquidAssets there being only so much big to go around]], it shrinks, into a tiny octopi-like creature, often skittering away as fast as it can go. It's ''hilarious''.

* StockFootageFailure: The upgraded Rolling Vulcan ends with a shot of a monster exploding surrounded by Ranger-colored smoke bombs ... except there's a black plume instead of a green one. That's because that shot came from two [[Series/DaiSentaiGoggleFive previous]] [[Series/KagakuSentaiDynaman Sentai]] with Black Rangers.

* EpilepticTrees: The final scene of the finale ([[spoiler:a shot of Ra Deus's broken mask before fading into some flowers]]) can either be interpreted as [[spoiler:showing that the conflict is over and that nature has triumphed over the Mess's twisted experiments]] or [[spoiler:a sign that Lah Deus isn't fully dead yet [[TheEndOrIsIt and may return someday]].]]

* AlternateAesopInterpretation: The final scene of the finale ([[spoiler:a shot of Ra Deus's broken mask before fading into some flowers]]) can either be interpreted as [[spoiler:showing that the conflict is over and that nature has triumphed over the Mess's twisted experiments]] or [[spoiler:a sign that Lah Deus isn't fully dead yet [[TheEndOrIsIt and may return someday]].]]

* LesYay: Sara and Lou.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPxt6oo0H-Y Flashman! Fighting Pose]]

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: VERY popular in Brazil. It also fondly remembered in some Latin American countries as Peru, where it was one of the first ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' series to be shown on television outside of Japan '''before''' ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers''.

* NamesTheSame: ''Choushinsei Flashman'' has nothing to do with either [[{{Literature/Flashman}} George [=MacDonald=] Fraser's series of novels]] or the [[VideoGame/MegaMan2 Robot Master]].

** Flashman is also universally adored in South Korea among children of the late 80's and 90's. Being released on VHS in a edited down format, it became one of a seldom few Japanese series of any sort to see a legitimate release in South Korea (not counting pirated vhs releases of {{Toku}} and anime as well as subsequent MockBuster series) prior to normalization of relations with Japan and resulted in several more Super Sentai shows (and Even a couple Metal Heroes) being released in a similar format. It was so popular that when Power Rangers was released in South Korea, it gained a large {{Hatedom}} among Korean kids for thinking it was a rip off of The "Flashman series" as they refered to the Sentai vhs tape releases and at one point, a {{MockBuster}} called "Hero Flashman" was released to cash in on the series popularity.
