''Ninpū Sentai Hurricaneger'' ("Stealth Wind Squadron Hurricaneger" [[hottip:*:This was the first Sentai title to shorten the suffix "-ranger".]]) is the twenty-sixth installment in the ''SuperSentai'' series, airing from 2002 to 2003.

!!Recurring SuperSentai tropes:

* {{Crossover}}: ''Hurricaneger vs. [[HyakujuuSentaiGaoranger Gaoranger]]''

* InTheNameOfTheMoon: The series' roll calls must be the longest ones in SuperSentai, considering each group has their own. But in retrospect, they're pretty awesome, owing to the poetic lines.

!!Tropes specific to NinpuuSentaiHurricaneger:

* {{Homage}}: ''Hurricaneger'' pays tribute to ''ChoujuuSentaiLiveman'' (the 1988 ''Sentai'' series) in many ways. It's the first ''Sentai'' series since ''Liveman'' to start off with three main members, the blue ranger is also a girl, the three main characters are students of an elite academy, their animal motifs are identical (hawk, lion, and dolphin), [[ThreePlusTwo two extra members are introduced mid-series]] (plus [[SixthRanger a third one]]), and the villains of both teams keep track of their members' performance.

* MythologyGag: The main trio borrows heavily from ''ChoujuuSentaiLiveman'' in many aspects, such as the animal motif (red hawk, yellow lion, blue dolphin), being the last survivors of a special academy, and having slightly similar names (Yuusuke and Yousuke, Megumi and Nanami, Jou and Kouta).

** There's also similarities to NinjaSentaiKakuranger, the previous round of ninjas. The roll call is very similar, and the rangers are in separate cockipits even in the combined mecha (except one), like the Kakurangers were with the Hidden Great General (Kakure Daishogun).
* NoExportForYou: Neither this, nor its western counterpart ''Series/PowerRangersNinjaStorm'', were dubbed in Korea. The common speculation is that both series were skipped because depictions of ninjas are culturally taboo in Korea. In reality, when the decision was made to dub ''SuperSentai'' in Korea over ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' (as they have been doing since ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers''), they skipped to ''BakuryuuSentaiAbaranger'' since ''Super Sentai'' is at least a year ahead of ''Power Rangers''. Ninjas are not as taboo in Korea as Samurais are, which is why ''{{Naruto}}'' airs there without any problem.
** Then again, when it came time to find a replacement for the very taboo ''SamuraiSentaiShinkenger'', ''Hurricaneger'' was skipped again in favor of the one before it, ''Gaoranger''.

** MarthDebutedInSmashBros: Hurricanger is included in the ''[[KaizokuSentaiGokaiger Gokaiger]]'' dub, [[MarketBasedTitle Power Rangers Captain Force]].

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The last we see of Wendinu and Furabijo was in ''Abaranger vs Hurricaneger'', where they're transported to Dino Earth. Furabijo then got called by Chronos in ''[[GoGoSentaiBoukenger Boukenger vs Super Sentai]]'' and instantly got her life sacrificed. Wendinu... nobody heard about her.

* XMeetsY: ''NinjaSentaiKakuranger'' meets ''ChoujuuSentaiLiveman''.

* TheUnexpected: What toku movies will be released in 2013: A [[Series/TokumeiSentaiGobusters Go-Busters]] movie, a [[Series/ZyudenSentaiKyoryuger Kyoryuger]] movie, some [[KamenRiderWizard Wizard]] movies, Super Hero Taisen Z... wait, ''a Hurricaneger reunion movie?''

** BifurcatedWeapon: The Hurricanger's Hayatemaru. [[note]]Normally a [[KatanasAreJustBetter katana]], but can switch into a [[CoolGuns rifle]] mode when combined with its sheath.[[/note]]

** Ikkou: [[{{Handguns}} Horn Breaker]]

** Seventh Spear, Sandaaru: The [[SixthRanger Seventh Ranger]] and TheStarScream

* [=Tauzant=][[hottip:*:German for "Thousand", appropriately for his centipede theme.]]: [[BigBad The Big Bad]].

** Fifth Spear, Sargain: MasterSwordsman who is TheDragon to Tauzant.

*** [[spoiler:Gōrai Senpūjin - left arm + Tenkūjin = Tenkū Gōrai Senpūjin]]

* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Wendinu and Furabijo
** Plus Oboro ([[MrFixIt Ms. Fix It]] who usually indulges in geeky activities) and Nanami (IdolSinger who likes cute things, cooks well, etc). Even if Nanami is the one doing all the fighting.

* ItsPersonal: Manmaruba decides to make Gouraigers' life a living hell due to their defection from Jakanja.
* KansaiDialect: Oboro.

* DisneyDeath: Shurikenger in episode 49, who is revealed to have survived in Abaranger vs. Hurricanger. Also, the Goraigers were thought to be dead in episode 50, but appear alive before the Hurricangers in episode 51 to battle against the evil force.

** Third Spear, Manmaruba:

* DisneyDeath: First Shurikennger in episode 49, and is revealed to have survived in Abaranger vs. Hurricanger. Also, the Goraigers were thought to be dead in episode 50, but appear alive before the Hurricangers in episode 51 to do battle against the evil force.

** If the monster was from Chuuzubo's private reserves, he'd load a scroll into Wendinu's bazooka, which she fired down to the destroyed monster on earth.

* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: The Hurricanegers are actually bottom of the class students. The only reason they made the team is everyone else was killed by Jakanja in the first episode. This doesn't apply to the Gouraigiers.

* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: In episode 34 Wendinu grew to giant size after her monster was destroyed (and tricked by Shurikenger). She easily '''defeat''' the Hurricanger and Goraijer with ease.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Both of the Goraijers have one, [[spoiler:in which the morals that their father taught them were rage and hatred. They later find out that their father wanted them to fight each other in a death match in order for "that" to be born.]]

* DisneyDeath: First Shurikennger in episode 49, and is revealed to have survived in Abaranger vs. Hurricanger. Also, the Goraijers were thought to be dead in episode 50, but appear alive before the Hurricangers in episode 51 to do battle against the evil force.

* HeelFaceTurn: Ikkou and Isshou: C'mon, we ''all'' saw that coming.

** Finally, if Satarakura was responsible for the evil plan of the week, Wendinu would send down a mask that, for all intents and purposes, did the same thing that Chuuzubo's scroll did, except it was a '''lot''' more creepier.

* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Oboro has robotic kuroko to cause this on civilians so they won't know of the Hurricangers' exploits. Their method is exactly this.

Adapted into Series/PowerRangersNinjaStorm.

* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Hurricane Blue, a member of the main trio, who serves as the third female blue ranger.
