When the time is right. We just had a 40th anniversary so maybe for year 45 or 50. It does not necessarily have to but I think homages are more fun in anniversary shows.
Here is my question folks. Which personal weapon of a Sentai hero do you think is the best? For example Tyrannoranger's ryugekiken, Shinken Gold's sakanamaru, etc. Personally I think Blue Turbo from Turboranger's J Gun is the best because he could attach their basic firearm the Turbo Laser to make it the J Machinegun for more firepower.

I tend to favor sleeker weapons and ones that look less like toys, and failing that, the ones that really capture the theme/spirit of the show.
Although they're very obviously toys, I really like the Gokai Sabres and Gokai Gun, with their cutlass and blunderbuss motifs, since they're about as pirate-appropriate as you can get. These aren't personal weapons, though. Although I consider most of the weapons in Zyuohger to be the worst among Super Sentai, Zyuoh Eagle's EagRiser one of the very best. It doesn't share the clunkiness of the guns, and while a chain sword would be impractical, it looks cool. |

I was gonna say Zyusoken but remembered watching Turboranger long time ago and really liked how Blue Turbo whipped out the J gun and attached his turbo laser and then just did a quick rapid fire strafe with it.

Weapons eh?
Bull Riot is pretty sweet for being a freaking shotgun but loses points in the transformation because the entire barrel is just a sheath and that's a little lazy. I do also like the King Stick just for it's awesome sound effects, so very 90s Japan. |

My favorite is probably the Eagriser?
I'm a sucker for a Red with a sword to begin with, and the whole gimmick of it also being a weird whip thing led to some pretty dynamic action. It's also a pretty simple and understated weapon for modern Sentai, which is nice. But then I adore Zyuoh Eagle, so I'm probably just biased to think anything relating to him is awesome.

Favorite weapon?
Geki Nunchaku. If you guys love simple weapons, you'll love those. Literally just red nunchaku Anyway, I'm particularly fond of the D-Sword Vega, pretty sweet. Zyuoh The Gunrod is also cool. I'm a sucker for polearms, and just plain staves are pretty rare since shows like this prefer to have them be bladed at the end.

Which is also why I love Bouken Red because he managed to be grounded while having his moments of hilarity. Like this. But for real though, Yamato is one of the best red rangers we have had in a while.
