Announcer: "Hey Kids! Are you having a good time at the giant mall/ amusement park/ festival today? That's wonderful! Oh no! Generic Villain has appeared!" Generic Villain: "Mwahahaha! Awesome Hero Man isn't here, so I'm going to take you all hostage!" Announcer: "Gasp!! What do we do? If you yell really loud, I bet Awesome Hero Man will appear to save us! Alright kids, on three, let's shout, 'Awesome Hero Man, come save us!' Alright? One, two, three! AWESOME HERO MAN, COME SAVE US!" The Hero Stage Show is a filler event where-in the main characters get sucked into taking younger siblings (or secretly for their own enjoyment) to see cliché Heroes or Sentai groups (either Local Heroes or ones from popular in-universe kids shows) and Hilarity Ensues. Since the shows are parodies of simplistic characters aimed at kids, the names of the characters are usually Bland-Name Product type names or just silly ones. Will probably take place at a mall, festival or amusement park and there's an extremely good chance the protagonists will end up having to take the place of the actors on stage or take the show seriously and beat up the poor actors, who are just regular people. This trope is pretty much always a parody, and nothing serious ever comes out of it in the end. A Hero Stage Show can figure into the plot in a few ways. One is that the protagonist(s) went to the show to see it, in which case there's a chance they'll have to get involved in it in some way, shape or form. These examples can include things like the protagonist being pushed onto the stage by the crowd and having to play along, or the protagonist noticing something is amiss onstage and having to intervene, which some might try to do discreetly from backstage so the other actors don't notice. Another is that the protagonist(s) are hired to work as actors for the show, in which case, they will have to deal with instances where the show goes off the rails, be it either by other actors flubbing their lines or some part of the set getting damaged, or if someone storms the stage and they have to improv a way to get the guy off so they can continue the show as planned.

The Devil is a Part-Timer! uses one of these as a plot point. Soon after the protagonists adopt Alas Ramus, a strange baby with stranger powers, they bring her to an amusement park that has a Sentai stage show. Alas Ramus identifies each hero by their colors, naming them as the Sephirot of the Kabbalah Tree of Life, which also correspond to colors. Maou picks up on the reference, and realizes that she is a fragment of one of the Sephirot. Specifically, she's part of Yesod, the yellow. | |

In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, you are forced to help film a movie at Pokemonéstar studios by playing as a rather cliched costumed hero who must stop the evil Brycen-man from attacking an amusement park. There are later optional movies you can film featuring different plots that don't fit the typical Hero Stage Show set up, though. | |

In the official Neon Genesis Evangelion parody manga Tony Takezaki's Evangelion, a Flashback chapter depicts Gendo Ikari's plan to win support for taxpayer funding of NERV by putting on a Hero Show, featuring himself as costumed mascot NERV-tan, his deputy Kozo Fuyutsuki in costume as an angel, and a teenage Ritsuko Akagi as the Ms. Fanservice M.C. Kozo recalls in anger how Gendo forced him to wear an especially heavy costume during a typical post-Second Impact heat wave and took great relish in pummeling him during their "mock" battle. | |

The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.: In the anime episode "Summer Break! A Date With Teruhashi", Yuki Teruhashi invited Kusuo Saiki to the fair grounds for a date. To keep it from becoming that, Saiki brings along Yuuta, his neighbour's son, so they can watch the live performance of Cider-man Ramune going on there. The actor playing the monster L. Ginger kidnaps Teruhashi and brings her on-stage, but can't bring himself to attack her after she uses her charms to stop him. When the actor playing Cider-man Ramune beats him, L. Ginger gets angry at looking weak in front of her and kicks him away. Saiki is ultimately forced to become Cyborg Cider-man No. 2 (because that's who Yuuta thinks he really is) and go up onstage to beat L. Ginger, much to his chagrin. | |

Zatch Bell!: Zatch goes to see a stage show starring his favourite hero, Praying Mantis Joe, on the roof of a department store while his friends go shopping. Zatch's friends and other customers fall for scam purchases set up by the department store's unscrupulous manager, so Zatch and the kids at the stage show encourage Joe to save the day by fighting the manager's bodyguard. The normally weak-willed actor overcomes his fear and stands up to the manager, refusing to back down even as the bodyguard repeatedly beats him up. Mrs. Nakata (the teacher's wife) ends up defeating the bodyguard herself, but Zatch attributes the victory to Joe and everyone gets refunds for their bad purchases. | |

Rugrats: Happens a lot with Reptar. In "Reptar on Ice", Tommy's dad decides to take the babies to see a Reptar on Ice show at the local County Coliseum, based on the character from the film series they love. Stu and Didi are nearly comatose from boredom while Grandpa Lou is captivated. In a subversion of the trope, the babies don't even care about watching the show — they just want to return the baby lizard they believes is Reptar's baby to him. In "Reptar's Revenge", Tommy's family takes the babies to their first carnival, where a man dressed up as Reptar is working the fair. His job has been threatened because he keeps eating the free samples of Reptar Cereal. When he is blamed for Angelica stealing the samples, he goes on a real rampage throughout the fair, acting just like the real Reptar. |

The Touhou Project doujin Life of Maid features a "Big Headed Task Force Yukkuringer" hero show during the SDM crew's visit to Gensouland. Meiling knocks out the giant flower monster the Yukkurangers were set to battle (and promptly gets knifed for it by Sakuya). After the show, Flandre and Patchy head backstage to see the Marisa Yukkuranger (since Patchy has a big crush on Marisa), but both of them get scarred for life when the Yukkuranger in question turns out to be Cool Old Guy Youki Konpaku. | |

Go, Go, Loser Ranger! bizarrely does this for what's in-universe an actual war. Every Sunday, the local sentai squad, the Dragon Keepers, fight a group of the Kaijin Army's mooks and their apparent leader . The thing is that the Keepers have staged this, and in reality have struck a deal with the remaining mooks for the latter group to keep doing these shows so humanity's morale doesn't lower—and by the beginning of the manga, this has been going on for 10 years. The audience simply thinks that the Rangers are fighting a real battle, unaware of the deal. | |

INVADERS of the ROKUJYOUMA!?: In book 6, Koutarou, Theia and Kiriha play the roles of villains in a Hero Show to entertain the neighbourhood kids, complete with "kidnapping" an oddly-enthusiastic Harumi. Things take an unexpected turn when the Sun Rangers show up, a real (if incompetent) sentai who detected Kiriha's use of Underworlder technology, and have to be yelled at by "Baron Demon" (Koutarou) until they give up and go home. The Sun Rangers reappear later in the series as far, far more impressive heroes (and valuable allies against Underworlder terrorists), but they still have immense respect for Koutarou for giving them the kick they needed - continuing to affectionately call him "Baron Demon" and considering him something of an honorary Sixth Ranger. | |
