Tropes and References
"Moeshinisky Particles" is parody of Gundam's Minovsky Particles. Possibly also a pun on "moeshinu", which means to love something so much it makes you want to die. Master Kaku is a character from Dairanger, who defected from the Gorma to form the Dairangers. The scene where a stranger saved a puppy could possibly be a shoutout to a particular plotline from Flashman, where there's a scene of a melodramatic save of a puppy. The puppy of this scene and the one from Flashman are both Shiba Inu. Tsuzuki Takuma is played by Takagi Shinpei, twin brother of Takagi Manpei, who played GekiBlue on Gekiranger. Shinpei also made an appearance on Gekiranger on episode 38, "The Other Retsu". The gloves his character's wearing have a similar pattern to the GekiChangers, the transforming item of the Gekirangers. "guns reimagined as cute girls" is a reference to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upotte!! Upotte!!] is currently airing. Upotte!! is also written by Naruhisa Arakawa. A modern Sentai show has an average run of 50 episodes, which is also normally the average number of featured Monsters of the Week throughout the show. ©Na's line alludes to this fact, mentioning the 40 subsection chiefs still on the payroll (since ten episodes of Akibaranger have already gone by).
