A recent interview with new Super Sentai chief producer Takahito Ohmori gives us a few early insights into this new team, and the apparent logic behind one noticeable color choice:
Members, do we agree with this logic? Will it possibly affect the future storytelling elements in this new series? What are your thoughts? |

never fails to amaze me how we all stumble over each other to cry how un-sexist and enlightened we are over "that other person" people keep having to go back to OLD SCHOOL Sentai to justify the statement the guy was wrong. Yellow is more often a female character than male in modern sentai.... in the 20 years of power rangers it's a 3/14 ratio......that may not hold up to Sentai, but it still holds up.

The real explanation is that during development they decided yellow would be the accent color for the costumes. Then they came to the realization that the shade of yellow they wanted to use was the same as the shade they would have used for a yellow ranger. Yellow on yellow like that wouldn't have worked. I read an interview with the production staff a few weeks back that contained that tidbit. They even created a Kyoryu Yellow design but again the yellow on yellow didn't work in their eyes.

I for one am all about some gender equality in my TV programs. Especially ones aimed at children as it gives everybody a fair role model to look up to. Would it really be so bad if little boys AND girls in Japan had strong men AND women to look up to consistently?
The Kyoryu Yellow reasoning is much more sound and far less insensitive that what was said in this interview. From a design stand point a Yellow wouldn't have worked, I get that. But this whole thing about mistaking a color for a specific gender is just ridiculous. There have been plenty of female Blues which use a shade very close to Kyoryu Blue. Aren't kids going to confuse him for a woman now too? Come on Toei

When was the last time there was a strong Female Rider that didn't spend most of her time getting her rounded backside kicked? Exactly. There have been some strong female characters, though. Moune, Luka, for example. Even Ahim could beat down some Zangyack (Had to add that, OOO would've drop kicked me). I hope KyoPink turns out well. And not another useless pink who bakes cakes instead of fights... Sorry Eri. You know it's true, I know it's true, you were useless. |

Right? Nothing like someone representing them to belittle their entire fanbase in one swoop of dumbassery. Least the second explination makes more sense. The Yellows would clash with each other, and make for a bad uniform. But you're right about something else.
