The only ''[[Super Sentai]]'' entry that continues the storyline from the [[Denshi Sentai Denziman|previous show]], it featured the first animal-themed team of rangers, as well as the first sword-wielding red ranger. It is also notable for having the Sentai team with the fewest members (with just three full-time heroes instead of the usual five) and the only one without a female ranger.

{{tropelist}}
=== '''Recurring''' [[Super Sentai]] tropes: ===
* [[Animal Motif]]: First ''Sentai'' team to have one.
Line 55 ⟶ 52:
* [[The Movie]]
* [["On the Next Episode of..." Catchphrase]]: The series doesn't really have one for the next episode previews, but the narration at the end of each episode tends to end with similar encouraging phrases.
* [[Regular Caller]]:
* [[The Smurfette Principle]]: The Vulcans themselves were an all-men team and the closest thing the show had to a heroine was Commander Arashiyama's daughter Misa, who dons the disguise of ''White Rose Mask'' for exactly one episode.
* [[Theme Music Power-Up]]
Line 69 ⟶ 66:
=== Tropes specific to [[Taiyou Sentai Sun Vulcan]]: ===
----
* [[All Your Base Are Belong to Us]]: {{spoiler|Mid-way through, the Sun Vulcan Base is destroyed, necessitating its replacement with a new one.}}
* [[Arm Cannon]]: Used by the robot impersonating Dr. Uemura's daughter in Episode 11.
* [[Barehanded Blade Block]]: Hyō pulls one of these off in episode 15.
Line 98 ⟶ 95:
* [[Mythology Gag]]: The experimental weapon that the Guardians of World Peace are working on in episode 44 is [[Battle Fever J|Battle Fever Robo]], complete with the BF symbol on the chest.
** There are also a few elements brought back from ''[[Himitsu Sentai Goranger]]'', such as the secret entrance to the base being in a diner run by their commander, and the yellow ranger liking curry.
* [[Names to Know
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: HELL SATURN. Sounds inviting, doesn't it?
* [[Orcus on His Throne]]: Hell Saturn, obviously, but Queen Hedrian is pretty lazy for a Dragon: in twelve episodes, the two times she does anything are out of selfish greed.
