* NamesTheSame: Counting only the on-duty Rangers, so far we had three Akiras (''Goranger'', ''Denziman'' - [[GenderBlenderName this one was a woman]] - and ''Maskman''), two Asukas (''Hurricaneger''[[hottip:*:Shurikenger's real name was Asuka Kagura]] and ''Abaranger''), two Daichis (''JAKQ'' and ''Turboranger''), two Gais (''Jetman'' and ''Gokaiger''), two Gakus (''Fiveman'' and ''Gaoranger''), two Goros (''JAKQ'' and ''Ohranger''), three Hikarus (''Bioman'' - this one too was a girl - , ''Gingaman'' and ''Magiranger''), two Juns (one male in ''Denziman'', one female in ''Bioman''), two Kais (''Gaoranger'' and ''Magiranger''), two Kens (''Fiveman'' and ''Gekiranger''), two Kentas (''Maskman'' and ''Megaranger''), two Kyosukes (''Battle Fever J'' and ''Carranger''), two Rikis (''Turboranger'' and ''Ohranger''), three Ryus (''JAKQ'', ''Dynaman'' and ''Jetman''), two Shiros (''Battle Fever J'' and ''Bioman''), two Shous (''Changeman'' and ''Go Go V''), two Takerus (''Maskman'' and ''Shinkenger''), two Tatsuyas (''Denziman'' and ''Timeranger''), two Yosukes (''Dynaman'' and ''Hurricanger''), two Yokos (''Carranger'' and ''Go-Busters'') and two Daigoros (''Goranger'' and ''Denziman''). By extension, one can also count two Hayates (''Changeman'' - in which case it's Shou/Change Griffin's surname - and ''Gingaman'' - where it's a given name), two Tsubasas (''Changeman'' - again where it's a surname, Mai/Change Phoenix's - and ''Magiranger'', where it's a given name), two Shiraishis (Kensaku/Battle Cossack in ''Battle Fever'' and Mako/[=ShinkenPink=] in ''Shinkenger''), two Nagisas (Maria/Miss America II in ''Battle Fever'' and Sayaka/Change Mermaid in ''Changeman'', also it's not spelled with the same Kanji), and three Joes (''Liveman'' - where it was spelled the Japanese way, Jou - ''Go-onger'', a surname also spelled the Japanese way, and ''Gokaiger'' - where it's spelled the English way), and ''six'' Hoshikawas (semi-justified: one of them is Ryu/[=DynaBlack=] from ''Dynaman'', while the others are the all-sibling team of Fivemen).

* NoExportForYou: A few countries have received some form of export of the series, but most of those countries are still missing some of them. North America, for example, has ''PowerRangers'', but that only adapts the series from ''Zyuranger'' forward. And even then, people who want the original Japanese shows in countries where ''PowerRangers'' is shown are usually out of luck.

* TheSmurfettePrinciple / TwoGirlsToATeam: Almost all of the early shows up to ''KagakuSentaiDynaman'' only had one female ranger per team. ''TaiyouSentaiSunVulcan'' didn't even have a female member at all, just a supporting character who assisted the team from the sidelines. ''ChoudenshiBioman'' in 1984 started the tradition of having two full-time female rangers at the same time, going back and forth between periods where the franchise would return to having just one female per team ([[ChoujuuSentaiLiveman 1988]]-[[KousokuSentaiTurboranger 1989]], [[Series/KyoryuSentaiZyuranger 1992]]-[[NinjaSentaiKakuranger 1994]], [[SeijuuSentaiGingaman 1998]]-[[BakuryuuSentaiAbaranger 2003]]) and then going back to having two again ([[ChikyuuSentaiFiveman 1990]]-[[ChoujinSentaiJetman 1991]], [[ChourikiSentaiOhranger 1995]]-[[DenjiSentaiMegaranger 1997]]). Almost all the teams since [[Series/TokusouSentaiDekaranger 2004]] have featured two full-time female rangers with the exception of ''[[Series/JukenSentaiGekiranger Gekiranger]]'' [[hottip:*:Unless you count Mele as a second heroine, who performs a HeelFaceTurn towards the end of the series]], while the second girl in ''[[Series/{{Engine Sentai Go-Onger}} Go-onger]]'' ended up being an [[SixthRanger extra ranger]] who joins the team mid-series.

And the "unofficial" series, produced by Toei but explicitly ''not'' a proper installment:
* ''Series/HikoninSentaiAkibaranger'' (2012)

'''Tropes found in most or all ''SuperSentai'':'''

** ''NinjaCaptor'' (1976-1977) is a special case: It was once counted as Super Sentai, but not anymore.

* {{BFG}}: The "[[FanNickname Team Bazooka]]", which comes in one of two flavors. Sometimes it's a combination of all the team members' personal weapons (the first example of which is Battle Fever's Pentaforce) while other times it's a standalone weapon (the first example being Changeman's Power Bazooka). Though J.A.K.Q.'s Big Bomber is a BFG, it's not usually considered a Team Bazooka because it's a literal cannon and the separate pieces can't be used as weapons)

* MediaWatchdogs: Around 1983/84 Super Sentai series recieved serious retools in how the action scenes played out due to being specifically targeted by MoralGuardians for violent content due to being directly targeted at children.

* ''TokusouSentaiDekaranger'' (2004-2005) (''Series/PowerRangersSPD'')[[index]]

** The milestone crossovers, ''Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai'' (25th anniversary commemorative, which featured a Dream Sentai consisting of [[JAKQDengekitai Big One]], [[ChoujuuSentaiLiveman Red Falcon]], [[DenjiSentaiMegaranger Mega Pink]], [[SeijuuSentaiGingaman Ginga Blue]], and [[RescueSentaiGoGoFive Go Yellow]], as well as a cameos by all the other Reds up to that point) and ''Boukenger vs. Super Sentai'' (which commemorated the 30th anniversary, but was less broad in its coverage than the Gaoranger one, using heroes and villains from the 2000s series, as its Dream Sentai team consisted of [[NinpuuSentaiHurricanger Hurricane Blue]], [[BakuryuuSentaiAbaranger Abare Black]], [[TokusouSentaiDekaranger Deka Break]], [[Series/MahouSentaiMagiranger Magi Yellow and Magi Shine]], and [[OriginalGeneration Aka Red]]).

* SpacePolice: There was Signalman from [[GekisouSentaiCarranger Carranger]] and years later we had a Space Police Sentai in ''TokusouSentaiDekaranger''. And then the [[Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger Gokaigers]] [[Film/KaizokuSentaiGokaigerVsSpaceSheriffGavanTheMovie teamed up]] with a [[SpaceSheriffGavan Space Sheriff]] who kicked off a whole other {{Toku}} [[MetalHeroes legacy]].

* ''GoGoSentaiBoukenger'' (2006-2007) (''Series/PowerRangersOperationOverdrive'')[[index]]

** Aka Red from GogoSentaiBoukenger and KaizokuSentaiGokaiger translates to Red Red.
** TokumeiSentaiGobusters has to mecha called Go-buster Oh and Go-buster King. Oh means king So they have two mecha named Go-buster King.

* MoodWhiplash: Aside from {{Wham Episode}}s interspersing with {{BLAM Episode}}s depending on the series, there's also the fact that the ending theme is quite upbeat pretty much most of the time, creating the effect when an episode ends in a dramatic note.

* ''Main/JukenSentaiGekiranger'' (2007-2008) (''Series/PowerRangersJungleFury'')[[index]]

** Kenji Ohba was Shiro Akebono/Battle Kenya in ''Battle Fever'' and Daigoro Oume/Denzi Blue in ''DenshiSentaiDenziman''. He makes a cameo later in ''JukenSentaiGekiranger'' as Jan's father and Rio's previous rival, Dan the White Tiger. In the meantime, he also kicked off the ''[[MetalHeroes Space Sheriff]]'' series as the main hero of ''UchuuKeijiGavan''. Highlighted in ''Film/KaizokuSentaiGokaigerVsSpaceSheriffGavanTheMovie'', where he plays Battle Kenya, Denzi Blue, and of course Gavan.

* ''SamuraiSentaiShinkenger'' (2009-2010) (''Series/PowerRangersSamurai'' [[index]] and ''Super Samurai'')

* HotBlooded: The number one defining trait of a Red Ranger, though there are aversions, like [[ChoujinSentaiJetman Ryu Tendou]] and [[SamuraiSentaiShinkenger Takeru Shiba]].

* ''KyoryuSentaiZyuranger'' (1992-1993) (''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers, season 1'')

** MachikoSoga was Queen Hedrian in ''DenshiSentaiDenziman'' and ''TaiyouSentaiSunVulcan'', Bandora the Sorceress in ''KyoryuSentaiZyuranger'' (whose footage, in turn, was kept for Rita Repulsa in ''MightyMorphinPowerRangers''), and Heavenly Saint Magiel in ''Series/MahouSentaiMagiranger''. She also had guest roles in ''BattleFeverJ'' and ''HikariSentaiMaskman''.

** SuperSentai has bounced back and forth on this for decades. The franchise took a big turn for the DarkerAndEdgier when it [[GrowTheBeard grew a massive beard]] in 1985's ''DengekiSentaiChangeman'', a status quo that lasted through 1991's ''ChoujinSentaiJetman''. Sentai of this era was at least as dark and edgy as any KamenRider series short of the first 13 episodes of the original. SuperSentai then shifted to LighterAndSofter with 1992's ''KyoryuSentaiZyuranger'' (which coincided with Noboru Sugimura taking over as head writer) and again with 2001's ''HyakujuuSentaiGaoranger'' (Sugimura was long gone by then). While a small handful of individual series since ''Zyuranger'' and ''Gaoranger'' have been DarkerAndEdgier than those two, (2000's ''MiraiSentaiTimeranger'', for example) the tone of the 1992-2000 era is lighter on average than the 1985-1991 era, and the average tone of the 2001-present era is lighter still.
