!!Tropes for ''Space Sheriff Shaider: Next Generation'':

* ChainedHeat: "Heat" may not be accurate considering it's Shu with the MacGuffinGirl they've been searching for.
* ContinuityNod: A necessity, being the direct follow up to the SpaceSheriffSharivan one.
* DynamicEntry: [[CallingYourAttacks TAMMY KIIIICK!!]]
* {{Expy}}: [[spoiler:Hilda Gordon to [[Manga/DeathNote Right Yagami]].]]
* GiantMook: Shu faces off one in Fushigi Space - which is immediately taken down by Tammy.
* GirlInABox: Hilda, luggage bag variation.
* HandsomeLech: Shu.
* HoldingBackThePhlebotinum: Due to ChainedHeat, Shu is unable to turn into Shaider. That's right, a lack of Shaider ''in his own movie''.
* LegacyCharacter: Not just Shu Karasuma as the next Shaider, [[spoiler:but the current Horror Girl ''and'' Priest Poe.]] Tammy could also count, not only inheriting Annie's dress sense but the PantyShot as well.
* ManBehindTheMan: Carrying on from the ''Sharivan'' movie, [[spoiler:the new Horror Girl was indeed manipulating the villains thus far, but then the new Priest Poe was forced to aid and abet her actions - ''because she's his daughter.'']]
* TheCharacterDiedWithHim: Heavily implied with Annie looking at an old photo of her with Dai Sawamura, asking him to watch over the kids.
* TheReveal: [[spoiler:The current Horror Girl was really the Space Police Commander's own daughter Hilda, messing with powers beyond her understanding.]]
* ShirtlessScene
* SlapSlapKiss: Shu and Tammy.
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: [[spoiler:Tammy.]]
* TwoLinesNoWaiting: The show keeps switching over to Gavan and Sharivan's own investigation of the Neo-Fuuma threat. Turns out it's all connected in the end.
* WhenSheSmiles: Hilda Gordon, of the "forgot how to" variation. [[spoiler:Except it's part of the act.]]

* FridgeHorror: Unlike other tokusatsu monsters of the week created by Toei, the Space Sheriff trilogy's monsters of the week are outlandishly powerful in context with a rather horrific tone. Most of them never talk or emote, but still have human level intellect, much like a serial killer, and in addition to at least one melee weapon their standard powers include size changing, teleportation, invisibility, some bodily weapon, and shape shifting. Add ReligiousHorror for more atmospheric effect.

* ScaryDogmaticAliens: The Fuuma have destroyed many planets throughout the universe within the span of several thousand years.

* {{BFG}}: Big Magnum. A medium-starship-sized one.

* PantyShot: One of the reasons for Annie's popularity.

* TransformingMecha: The Vavilos.
* VillainousCrossdresser: Shinkan Poe
