After 9 episodes of Gouraigan, I can't help but feel that Inoue is basically parodying all his toku shows, by playing with the tropes he uses in his toku shows, like Jetman and his Rider shows, with completely exaggerating them, to the point they're ridiculous; in a way, I feel that Gouraigan is to Inoue toku what Akibaranger is to official sentai, as if Inoue was following Arakawa in lampshading all the tropes associated with the shows he has worked on (love triangles, bizarre comedies, excessive fanservice, Black Condor's actor playing a completely excessive copy of a villain in love and rival with the hero, like he did on Kiva.
