Many of the nin various mecha were also throwbacks to Kaku's individual battle robots too. It was a mixed homage which is also why they did the cameo of one of their classic ninja tokus too.
A lot of sentai was influenced by pop-culture that way. Magiranger exists pretty much because of Harry Potter. Same as how Kamen Rider Wizard and Kiva existed because of Wizards of Waverly Place. Same as how Den-O exists because of Densha Otoko and popularity of time travel and trains. All the way to modern day where Lupin exists because of Lupin the anime's longevity and the abundance of heist movies that were coming out for a bit.
Yep. Speaking of ninja teams, Kakuranger kept up with with the trends giving the rangers a grunge wardrobe because shiw was around when Nirvana and grunge rock was cool. And Hurricanger borrowed its premise and other elements from 1988's Liveman.
