Tropes used in Ninja Senshi Tobikage include:
- Big Damn Heroes: Tobikage has a tendency to show up whenever the heroes are getting whupped
- Dub Name Change: Crosses over with Name's the Same when Tobikage is called Cybertron.
- Ear Worm: Both the Japanese and the English OPs use the same Ear Worm-y tune
- Everything's Better with Princesses: (Princess Romina
- Foe Yay: Between Joe and Irubora.
- Forgotten Superweapon: The Golden robot combines with Tobikage to form an agile, hyperactive lion most often, while the Scarlet robot combines a few times to create an eagle formation that flies slowly and casts fire over a long length. We don't, however, catch the blue robot combining to form a dragon that unleashes large lightning storms, more than twice.
- Hey, It's That Voice!: You might recognise Hatake Kakashi as Joe Maya, Noriko Takaya as Reni Ai, Gin Rei as Princess Romina, and Tenchi Masaki/Keiichi Morisato as Mike Coil. The Claw Man is Irubora/Icelander. Jiraiya is Gurasan. The list goes on.
- Highly-Visible Ninja: Partly subverted with the ninjas from the hidden ninja village, except they're a tourist attraction. Played straight in that the robots are mostly ninja themed.
- Human Aliens: The Rodarians and Zaboom.
- Karma Houdini: Played so very nearly straight with Hazard Pasha. He gets his at the very end, but everything else up until then is a mild inconvenience.
- Large Ham: Hazard Pasha. Boy howdy, is he.
- Names to Run Away From Really Fast: Annex Zaboom. Hazard Pasha.
- Ninja Robots: Exactly What It Says on the Tin.
- Obviously Evil: Annex Zaboom has pale skin and black eyes, and his minions are also pale of complexion.
- Out of Order: When the series aired in Australia a block of about half a dozen episodes were televised out of order. This was particularly obvious because it skipped the introduction of a major character. This alternative ordering of the episodes was repeated on the DVD.
- Reassigned To Mars: The reason why Hazard Pasha wants to get back at the Earth Union.
- Smug Snake Hazard Pasha, so very very much.
- Stripperific: Jenny Ai
- Spell My Name with an "S": (Reni/Leni is problematic. The dub avoids this issue by calling her Jenny. Of course, the dub makes OTHER changes too.
- Stock Footage: Nearly half the animation, including all sequences. Two whole clip episodes were only stock footage!
- Super Robot Wars:Appears in the Compact 2 Trilogy and Super Robot Wars: Impact
- The Red Planet: Where the first several episodes were set.
- The Song Remains the Same: Averted in the English language dub. The original Japanese theme was a silly love song. The English language dub not only changed the instrumental backing, but also changed the lyrics to something awesomely heroic- about Ninjas.
- Transforming Combiner Mecha
- White-Haired Pretty Girl: Princess Romina, doubles as a Woman in White and a Badass Princess.
- You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Jenny has blue, and this counts for other characters too.
