* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: Retsu's method of getting Geki out of his third act HeroicBSOD. It starts with a simple ArmoPiercingSlap, and then proceeds into a seven-minute-long sequence of the OlderAndWiser Space Sheriff ''completely kicking the crap'' out of his young replacement until Geki finally gets it into him to actually hit Retsu back, which is what Retsu was hoping for in the first place.

Discovering that they are targeting the research facility where Itsuki still works, the rookie Geki leaps into action along with his G.U.P. partner Shelly.

* PoweredArmor: Pretty much all the Space Sheriffs' combat suits.
* {{Woolseyism}}: Over Time's translation of the Sheriffs's transformation phrases. Here's what one of their translators had to say :
-->蒸着 is literally "deposition", as in thin-film deposition. We went with "Electroplate" since electroplating is a type of thin-film deposition, and sounds awesome enough to work as a transformation phrase.
-->Same thing with Shaider's. 焼結 is literally "sinter", another metallurgical process. "Sinter" is a terrible transformation phrase, but "spark plasma sintering" is a thing, and "Plasma Spark" sounds awesome.

Released as part of the 30th anniversary of ''SpaceSheriffGavan'' and considered the start of the next generation of Space Sheriffs.
