* GirlInABox: Hilda, luggage bag variation.

''Space Sheriff Next Generation'' is a series of two direct-to-video films released in autumn 2014 by Toei, and directed by Koichi Sakamoto, serving as a follow up to the 2012 film ''Film/SpaceSheriffGavanTheMovie'' and the 2013 crossover, ''Film/KamenRiderXSuperSentaiXSpaceSheriffSuperHeroTaisenZ'', it focuses on the 3 new Space Sheriffs introduced in the former film, as well as featurning appearances from several characters and figures involved in the original trilogy of television series. It should be noted that the two films must be watched in order, as the entire plot of the 1st film is spoilt in the 1st minute of the second.

The second installment, ''Space Sheriff Shaider Next Generation'', opens with Geki bursting into the person responsible for the resurgence in the crime families, Horror Girl's hiedout, only it turns out to be a decoy and he nearly get's blown up for his trouble. Furthermore, he's then told the investigation is suspended due to Commander Gordon's daughter, Hilda, being kidnapped by Priest Po, an agent of Horror Girl, and if the investigation continues she'll be killed. Meanwhile Shu Karasuma, Shaider, is investigating a smuggling when his stakeout is ruined by his partner, Tammy, bursting onto the scene accusing him of cheating on him. This leads to a 3 man chase, Shaider chasing the smuggler, while Tammy chases Shaider. The package turns out to be a school girl, and when Shu gets forcibly bound to the girl, the monster abducts them both, leading Tammy to wonder why Shaider wouldn't involve her in the investigation. At the same time, Geki goes to Kojiro Oyama, an old friend of the Space Sheriffs, to help him continue the investigation more discreetly. Why is Shaider so desperate to keep Tammy away from the case, and what is so important about the girl being abducted?

!!Tropes specific to both parts

* InstantArmour: All 4 Sheriffs. We get a good look at Sharivan's and Shaider's, while Estevan's doesn't with a touch of LampshadeHanging.

* TransformationIsAFreeAction: As always justified by taking under a second
* TransformingMecha: All 3 classic ships, though only the base of Dolgiran transforms into Dol

!!Tropes specific to Sharivan Next Generation

* EarlyBirdCameo: Even if you don't count ''SpaceSheriffGavanTheMovie'', the next SpaceSheriffShaider appearing here should count.
* LegacyCharacter: Hyuga Kai, the next Sharivan.

* RemakeCameo: The original Sharivan appears here, but in a greatly reduced role compared to Retsu Ichijouji in ''SpaceSheriffGavanTheMovie''.

** The [[Series/KamenRiderFourze handheld switch]] used for opening portals. Bear in mind Koichi Sakamoto is on the set.

!!Tropes specific to Shaider Next Generation

* ContinuityNod: A necessity, being the direct follow up to the SpaceSheriffSharivan one.

* SaveTheVillain: [[spoiler:Geki stops the Commander from committing suicide, and all 3 save Hilda from death in Makuu Space, however this is so that they can pay for their crimes]]

** The [[KamenRiderFourze handheld switch]] used for opening portals. Bear in mind Koichi Sakamoto is on the set.

* AnotherDimension: The revived members of each group have switches allowing them to do this. Gamagon uses one to send himself and Sharivan to Genmu Space, Bitabita uses one to send Shaider to the Fushi World, and Lizard Doubler tries (and fails) to use one to send himself and Gavan to Makuu Space.

* FinishingMove: Gavan has 'Gavan Hyper Dynamic', Sharivan has 'Sharivan Crash' and Shaider has 'Shaider Blue Flash', which all return, and can together perform the 'Space Sheriff Triple Dynamic', while Estevan has the 'Estevan Agression'.

It should be noted that the two films must be watched in order, as the entire plot of the 1st film is spoilt in the 1st minute of the second.

The first installment, Space Sheriff Sharivan Next Generation opens with Geki Jumonji, Gavan defeating and arresting Lizard Doubler, a member of the once again resurging Makuu Crime Syndicate. Indeed the news, watched by a mysterious bird headed figure, soon informs us that Madou and Fuuma are also experiencing a resurgence. Geki reports to his superiors that he believes the crimes are in fact copycat crimes, but obviously with the sheer number of these copycats currently appearing throughout the galaxy, there still has to be some coordination. As such Kai Hyuuga, Sharivan, is sent with his partner Sisi to earth to team-up with another duo in order to bust a business deal between members of Neo-Madou and a leader of the local space mafia for Hyper-M, a hyper-stimulant that temporarily makes those administrated with it impervious damage, at the cost of shortly expiring if an antidote isn't administered. The team they're paired up with happens to be Seigi, otherwise known as Estevan, Kai's old friend, and his partner Aileen. Unknown to the other 3 though, Kai has also been assigned to determine whether or not Aileen is a spy feeding info to Neo-Madou. When the bust goes south due to Seigi's impulsiveness, and with Aileen continuing to act suspiciously, will Kai be able to make the right call?

The second installment, Space Sheriff Shaider Next Generation, opens with Geki bursting into the person responsible for the resurgence in the crime families, Horror Girl's hiedout, only it turns out to be a decoy and he nearly get's blown up for his trouble. Furthermore, he's then told the investigation is suspended due to Commander Gordon's daughter, Hilda, being kidnapped by Priest Po, an agent of Horror Girl, and if the investigation continues she'll be killed. Meanwhile Shu Karasuma, Shaider, is investigating a smuggling when his stakeout is ruined by his partner, Tammy, bursting onto the scene accusing him of cheating on him. This leads to a 3 man chase, Shaider chasing the smuggler, while Tammy chases Shaider. The package turns out to be a school girl, and when Shu gets forcibly bound to the girl, the monster abducts them both, leading Tammy to wonder why Shaider wouldn't involve her in the investigation. At the same time, Geki goes to Kojiro Oyama, an old friend of the Space Sheriffs, to help him continue the investigation more discreetly. Why is Shaider so desperate to keep Tammy away from the case, and what is so important about the girl being abducted?

* CoolShip: Dolgiran, Grand Birth and Vavilos all return and assume both of their forms, while Estevan implicitally has a ship, but we don't get to see it

* ChainedHeat: "Heat" may not be accurate considering it's Shu with the MacGuffinGirl they've been searching for.

* PropRecycling: The Space Sheriff Estevan costume is pretty much [[Film/KaizokuSentaiGokaigerVsSpaceSheriffGavanTheMovie Gavan Bootleg]] painted gold.

* CastingGag: The new Horror Girl has been recruiting weak-willed aliens to mutate them into new versions of past kaijin - one of them is a HumanAlien played by Kong, TheBigGuy from the same gang as Horror Girl[[spoiler:Hilda Gordon]]'s actress in ''MovieTaisenUltimatum.''

* TheCharacterDiedWithHim: Heavily implied with Annie looking at an old photo of her with Dai Sawamura, asking him to watch over the kids.

* HumanAliesn: At the very least Kai, Seigi and Tammy all qualify as this, as they're all specifically stated not to be from earth.

* Mooks: Neo Madou and Bitabita both have them, and they're distinct, Bitabita's being updates Fuuma soldiers

* CompleteMonster: [[spoiler:Hilda Gordon/Horror Girl. Unlike the example to Brighton from the Gavan movie, she isn't brainwashed, she's simply bored and decides to become the new Don Horror, which involves brainwashing the weak willed into becoming criminals, and in some case forcibly mutating them into monsters. If that's not enough, she's mostly just looking forward to seeing them killed by the Space Sheriffs on the news]]
