History Franchise / SuperSentai

* TitleScream: A tradition that began with ''Goggle-V'', although they don't scream the ''full'' title until ''Bioman''. From then on, prior to ''Series/TokumeiSentaiGoBusters''. ''Kakuranger'', on the other hand, possessed a variation of this, with something we could call Title Sing (as it is the first line of the opening theme).

** ''[[Film/ResshaSentaiTokkyugerVsKyoryugerTheMovie Ressha Sentai ToQger Vs Kyoryuger: The Movie]]''

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: The higher you get up the villains' chain of command, the more powerful they generally are. The leader of the Sentai also tends to be the strongest fighter.

*** Year 3: Action (''Dekaranger'', ''Shinkenger'', ''[=ToQger=]'', ''Ryusoulger''). Now fully back in track with the StrictlyFormula for the next three years, it instead puts focus on a "cool" motif that's associated with battle by default, which reflects in the improved combat choreography that gives this series an intense action feel. ''[[Series/ResshaSentaiToQger ToQger]]'' seems to have broken this however. Though, if one were to count [=ToQger's=] PowersAsPrograms as being associated with action, it could be counted under this.

* MultinationalTeam: ''Battle Fever'' has Rangers themed after different countries.

* ''Bakuage Sentai Boonboomger'' (2024-2025)

* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: It's a good rule of thumb to stop watching the previews once you get to around the last ten episodes, especially in the older series. ''Dairanger'' is especially bad in this regard since the ''openings'' spoil things as well!

Before ''Franchise/PowerRangers'', the Creator/USANetwork had run several episodes of a GagDub of ''Dynaman'', dubbing ridiculous dialogue in place of the original. Starting in February 2015, Creator/ShoutFactory has been making official English subtitled versions of various ''Super Sentai'' installments available in North America. So far, the shows that have been released are the ones that have been adapted into ''Power Rangers'', but September 2018 saw ''Jetman'' released in North America, making it the first ''Super Sentai'' series to be available in North America without previous adaptation. After a hiatus, Shout Factory released ''Fiveman'' on September 6, 2022, though as of mid-2023 it has not been made available through their streaming service.

* ''Series/NinjaCaptor'' (1976-1977)[[note]]A few early sources listed this show as part of the franchise, but it was later excluded, although has it received homages a few times in franchise so it may be considered an extra series.[[/note]]

* DefeatEqualsExplosion: Along with its [[Franchise/PowerRangers American counterpart]], it is the TropeCodifier. Whenever the team defeats the MonsterOfTheWeek, it will collapse to the ground before going up in ball of fire. In recent years, the monsters tend to say quips relating to their defeat before exploding.

** The ''Super Hero Taisen'' movie series 'sees 'Super Sentai'' crossing over with their sister show ''Franchise/KamenRider'', as well as the [[Series/MetalHeroes Space Sheriffs]] in [[Film/KamenRiderXSuperSentaiXSpaceSheriffSuperHeroTaisenZ one film]]. Similarly, the ''Space Squad'' film series is a crossover between the space-related ''Super Sentai'' and ''Metal Hero'' shows.

** Blue and Green trade off between the comic relief and super serious, though it's usually blue who is the serious one and green the goofball.

** Usually, the female rangers were portrayed by male suit actors while morphed. The skirts are used to discretely hid the area most likely to give this away. Modern Sentais have pretty much phased this practice out.

* RagtagBandOfMisfits: Some Sentai fit this trope more than others, most notably ''Jetman'', ''Gokaiger'', ''Kyuranger'', and Team Oddball from ''Super Sentai Strongest Battle''.

** Pink or White Rangers are TheChick; usually the [[TheSmurfettePrinciple token female]], or the Girly Girl half of the TomboyAndGirlyGirl. The more developed examples may serve as TheHeart of their respective teams (Gokaiger). Yellow Rangers are the second most likely, if the Pink fills a different role in the Band.

* ''Series/NinjaCaptor'' (1976-1977) (This series has been officially excluded from the franchise and there is some confusion and debate about whether it was ever supposed to be part of the franchise. Many fans still consider this to be an extra series and it has received homages in ''Akibaranger'' and ''Zenkaiger''.)

* ''Series/HikoninSentaiAkibaranger'' (2012-2013) (A Self-Parody spinoff series aimed at older fans)
* ''Series/FourWeekContinuousSuperSentaiStrongestBattle'' (2019) (A crossover miniseries taking place in between Lupat and Ryusoulger.)
* ''Series/TheHighSchoolHeroes'' (2021) (A non-canon drama miniseries aimed at older fans. Unlike ''Akibaranger'' it mainly homages ''Gorenger'' instead of the entire franchise.)
