Basic Trope: A subgenre of Tokusatsu which features a team of multicolored uniform clad heroes usually (but not always) five in number.
- Straight: The Color Crusaders (Colonel Crimson, Private Pink, General Green, Brigadier Blue and Lieutenant Lilac) defend Japan from the forces of evil.
- Exaggerated: And so do Officer Orange, Bombadier Black, Captain Cerulean, Corporal Cyan, Major Magenta, Sergeant Scarlet... With Stupid Jetpack Hitler of giant robots.
- Downplayed: ???
- Justified:
- The Color Crusaders were a special operations squad deployed by Imperial Japan during World War II.
- The Color Crusaders are the special operations of Kaiju Defense Force.
- Inverted: One Riot, One Ranger
- Subverted: The Color Crusaders were devised as a single team, yet are often assigned into missions away from one another.
- Double Subverted:...but The Color Crusaders always regroup near the end of their operations for the final battle to show off their multicolored uniforms.
- Parodied: The Color Crusaders are really Tokusatsu nerds who decided to recreate the concept of one in real life.
- Zig Zagged: ???
- Averted: The team isn't exactly a sentai team.
- Enforced: ???
- Lampshaded: "This is just like one of those Power Rangers episodes!"
- Invoked: ???
- Exploited: Japan recruited the Color Crusaders to advertise it worldwide.
- Defied: The Color Crusaders refuse to wear colored suits because it would make them look ridiculous.
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: "Ever noticed that these heroes are always a bunch of guys dressed in fabulous colors?"
