16	----
17	!!Recurring ''Metal Hero'' tropes include:
18
19	* ActorAllusion:
20	** The space drug dealer may be played by [[Series/BakuryuuSentaiAbaranger AbaRed]], but the role itself references his character on ''Series/KamenRiderDouble''.
21	** As [[Series/TokumeiSentaiGoBusters Blue Buster]], Ryoma Baba played a dork with a SuperpoweredEvilSide. [[spoiler:As TheMole, he gets to be both once again.]]
22	** Apparently [[Series/ChoudenshiBioman Mika Koizumi]] was helping Sharivan before being killed.
23
24	* ActionGirl
25	** Lily becomes one starting from the second third of the series onward.
26	** Helen Bell is one as soon as she is introduced.
27	* AnotherDimension: The Vision Dimension, which is described as the other side of a black hole.
28	* ByThePowerOfGrayskull: "SEKISHA!", roughly translates as “Crimson Shine”.
29	* CoolBike: Motosharin.
30	* FinishingMove: "SHARIVAN CRASH!" A powerful Laser Blade slash that can split the monster diagonally and cause them to explode.
31	* MonstersOfTheWeek: The Makai Beasts who can transform between two different faces. They also come with {{telekinesis}}.
32
33	!!''Space Sheriff Sharivan'' provides examples of the following tropes:
34
35	* TheCoatsAreOff: The first time Sharivan does his transformation pose properly, he throws off his jacket and the rest of his clothes instantly change to his Space Sheriff uniform.
36	%%* CoolStarship: Grand Birth.
37	* GagHaircut: General Gyrer has one, although his mustache balances it out.
38	* HumanAliens: The Madou has a few in their ranks, Makai Beasts usually have human disguises, the Iga Resistance qualifies, Billy and Helen Bell as well as their former commrades, and [[spoiler:Den and his family are actually part alien, being descendants of people from the planet Iga who settled on Earth two thousand years prior to the events of the series.]]
39	* HumongousMecha: Grand Birth transforms into the 400-some meter robot Battle Birth, making it a TransformingMecha as well. Its arms are plasma cannons and each shoulder has a similar weapon called the Grand Buster.
40	* LaserBlade: Like in Gavan, it is the TropeNamer.
41	* MeadowRun: A rather bizarre one caused by Reidar.
42	* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: Doctor Polter, somewhat subverted as she is sane.
43	* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast
44	** Demon King Psycho, fitting since he often gives at least one NightmareSequence for his target(s) of the episode.
45	** In the last episode, [[spoiler: Psycho Horror]].
46	* NatureLover: Den was originally a park ranger before becoming a space sheriff and continued to be one during the series, naturally this is part of his character.
47	* OminousPipeOrgan: Often used when Demon King Psycho is on screen.
48	* RayGun: Sharivan's main weapon, the Crime Buster, which comes with various types of laser beams.
49	* SequelEscalation: The Madou monsters are ''four'' times as powerful while their dimensional powers are active, and as soon as the second episode Sharivan has to fight through the equivalent of the Makuu City that appeared twice in ''Gavan''.
50	* {{Shinigami}}: Reidar as well as one of the Makai beasts.
51	* SpacePolice: It is in the title.
52	* SurrealHorror: Main motif of the Madou.
53	* TheNotLoveInterest: Unlike Gavan and Shaider's partners Lily and Den are not shown to have any romantic interest and are exclusively shown to be close friends.
54	* UnholyMatrimony: In the last arc, Madou kidnap Chief Qom’s daughter and decide to marry her to Guyler and have the two procure a child together as revenge against the Chief. [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil Note that no brainwashing is]] [[MoralEventHorizon involved in this plot.]]
