Tropes:

  • Badass in Distress: Beating Gaisoulg results in him stealing your body until someone else defeats him, at which point you're chained up. Luka, Takaharu, and Stinger all ended up as Gaisoulg's vessels, though Stinger avoided being chained with Luka and Takaharu.
  • Big Damn Heroes: Towa and Bamba come in to save a depowered Team Weirdo from Rita using Gaisoulg's armor.
  • Combination Attack: Team Weirdo invoke the power of the previous Super Sentai Reds as well as the Gorengers by launching a volleyball attack on Great Satan.
  • Continuity Nod: Stinger finally bringing in Rita to face judgement, and possibly redemption - he mentions that he couldn't save Scorpio, and thanks to the music at this point, some viewers may be reminded of Mika from Episode of Stinger as well. It's high time Stinger got a win.
  • Dude, Where's My Respect?: Poor Luka - she ends up bringing down the barrier to help defeat Great Satan and she's completely forgotten by Team Weirdo!
  • Freudian Excuse: Rita grew up on a planet without any sort of justice or heroes, and things just got worse whenever someone tried to help. The horrors she saw, which included children dying, caused her to snap and become an Omnicidal Maniac dedicated to reviving Great Satan. Stinger sympathizes, comparing her to Scorpio, and promises to her that he'll restore her faith in the world while he arrests her.
  • Generic Doomsday Villain: Great Satan, already considered one of the most generic villains in the franchise, is portrayed more as a living superweapon in this special than the ultimate evil he was in Zyuranger.
  • Last Villain Stand: After Great Satan is destroyed, Rita becomes Gaisoulg while retaining her identity, becoming the final opponent of the special.
  • One-Winged Angel: Great Satan gains his full-bodied Ultimate Great Satan form. Meanwhile, the Gaisoulg armor becomes this for Rita, as she as able to use it and remain in full control of herself.
  • Shout-Out: Ultimate Great Satan, originally a giant head, gets a body to match, but the face is redesigned with a lipless mouth. Remind you of any other giants?
  • The Stinger: The series ends with a mysterious person grabbing Gaisoulg's discarded helmet while Master Red discovers the Red Ryusoul for Kou, setting the stage for Ryusoulger.
  • Super Mode: Captain Marvelous uses Gokai Red Gold Mode, its only appearance outside of a special Gokaiger magazine DVD and the arcade game Dice-O, while Kagura finally gets to become Hyper ToQ 5gou, having previously only used the armor jointly with ToQ 3gou. note  Yamatonote , Takaharu, and Stinger also have their respective upgrades from their shows.
