Hikari Sentai Maskman/YMMV
- Non Sequitur Scene: The opening credits features a naked body-builder flexing, summoning energy and blasting a block... which explodes to reveal the five members of the team. The hell?
- Complete Monster: Emperor Zeba
- Crowning Music of Awesome: The opening music is very awesome. Thank you, Hironobu Kageyama!
- What about the ending theme. Again, thank you, Hironobu Kageyama
- Fan-Preferred Couple: There's a lot of fans who'd rather Takeru end up with Momoko eventually. Also an example of Ships That Pass in the Night since Takeru and Momoko don't get a focus episode together or even talk to each other very much.
- Takeru/Haruka is also a popular pair, and might have more support in a way that Haruka was once a recipient of Takeru's Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!.
- Germans Love David Hasselhoff: While this Sentai is pretty much fine in Japan, it's really, really popular in the Philippines. Generally the contender for most memorable Sentai is either this or Choudenshi Bioman.
- Amusingly, Takeru's actor married a Filipino woman.
- Hilarious in Hindsight: X-1 Mask's design differs greatly from the existing Maskman design scheme - while he might not pass for one of them, he'd make a passable Battle Ireland.
- The Untwist: Prince Igam is actually a woman. Not much of a spoiler, considering "he" was obviously played by a female...and it doesn't help matters much that the title of the episode where this is "revealed" is "Prince Igam, you're a woman!", as though it weren't obvious enough to begin with.
- To a lesser extent that Takeru's girlfriend is really the princess of Tube, which we find out early in but the Maskmen themselves are ignorant of for most of the show.
- Values Dissonance: The male Maskmen jokingly impersonate criminals to get the female members to strip. That strikes a modern viewer as rather creepy.
