#3 Dinosaurs.

I guess you could argue Dinosaurs counts along the number twos(Which all have at least three different shows) since Zyuranger literally has 'Dinosaur' as part of it's full title....even though only two out of six rangers are dinosaur themed. In which case, I really don't know what would be #3. Rainbows? Assuming you wanna count Gorenger and ToQger, but that's more secondary to the espionage and train themes of each show. Everything aside from the ones mentioned above are things that have only been used once, with other shows maybe sharing it as a secondary or third part. Like Flashman, Gingaman and Gokaiger all use space, but it takes a backseat to Planets, Animals, and Pirates.

Of course it's kinda confusing when you have things like Go-Onger, which are mainly vehicle themed, but the animal motif is just as present. Or Jetman, in which a military theme is used almost equally to the main theme of Birds. Lines begin to blur with certain shows.
