Go To

The Kakurangers corner a Yokai when it is saved by their fifth member, Jiraiya.

Tropes

  • Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: Oboroguruma actively attacks the city after enlarging.
  • Bittersweet Ending/ Cliffhanger: The Kakurangers are assembled and all can become Juusho, but Azukiarai is still at large.
  • Early-Bird Cameo: Dorotabou, Shirouneri, Amikiri,
  • Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: Oboro-guruma works as a cabbie and had a spectacularly bad day. He's had his ear pulled on by a kid, his cab soiled by a nauseous drunk. But then snaps when his fare meter is ripped out by an ungrateful customer, chasing after him in Yokai form.
  • Goggles Do Nothing: Oboroguruma wears a pair of driving goggles in Yokai form.
  • Gratuitous English: Jiraiya
  • Fartillery / Weaponized Exhaust: He can fire explosive foul-smelling exhaust out of his tailpipes.
  • The Reveal: Many Yokai change their forms to fit with the present time.
  • The Taxi: Oboroguruma's Yokai form is literally this trope personified.
  • Vanity License Plate: Oboroguruma's license plate reads "459HEL" (Hell).
  • Youkai: In Japanese myth, Oborugoruma were an oxen cart with a large face on its carriage. By the present, oxen carts are replaced with taxi cabs.
