Their fate is in your hands!

The Shinkengers are overwhelmed by the monster of the week.

How should they be saved?

A) Monster runs out of water and runs away

B) The one hero who was away due to personal problems established earlier in the episode has overcome his or her problem and beats up the monster of the week as the others lay helpless on the ground

C) One hero will bring out a new weapon or item that they bring into battle, yet do not use until they try and are beaten using the standard method of fighting. The new item/weapon just happens to be the one thing that will defeat monster/save the heroes

D) B and C. The one missing hero will come running up, produce an item/weapon that is exactly what is needed to save the heroes

E) The monster becomes intoxicated with his own power and leaves the heroes beaten instead of finishing them off

F) Deus ex machina. Some other distraction appears, preventing him from finishing off the Shinkengers

Deus ex machina FTW baby

[harpdevil]

G) Overcome an attack that previously left everyone on the brink of death by believing in themselves. This will allow the Shinkenger to walk through the attack and its explosions unharmed.

H) A thought to be dead and stray Gedou arrives and instead attack the MOTW.

I) All of the above as they are all Super Sentai tropes.

(except for the water thing. That's a deus ex machina all in itself)

[IijumiSoukai]

I say "E" on account of not seeing it too much.

[Blaze Dragon]

A). It happens every single time it's needed, so we know we can count on it.

Seriously, it's as if the Gedoushuu's weakness was actually managing to beat up the Shinkengers.

[Saejima Kouga]

These situations alternate every episode of Shinkenger. I think he's just pointing out the usual theme. XD

Honestly I would like to see what would happen if the monsters attacked the Shinkengers when they are out water. Would they explode into ash or something? I think that would be interesting to explore. Like a monster going good but low on water but still pulls the Deus ex machina and does an attack to save them only to crumble away at the end, thus when the enemy monster goes into his 2nd life, the shinkengers are filled with righteous rage and smit the baddie! *tear
