I was just watching Zyuohger #16, I forget who but one of the Zyuohgers openly transformed in front of people.
If their identities are supposed to be a secret from everyone but the bad guys, why do they constantly transform where security cameras, cell phone cameras, and other video recording devices can see them? The whole secret identity thing makes no sense if they don't bother to protect it. Also why do they always let the bad guys see their faces? If the bad guys some how follow them they can easily find out who they can use against them. |

Green with Gold armor is a great combination. Dragonranger and Shurikenger prove that. I certainly would be happy to see that combination brought back for a 6th ranger some day.

So after reading articles about the potential of having a black Doctor Who (where all the actors before and current have been white) and Hermione Granger in the new Harry Potter play being cast as black, it got me wondering if the same sort of thing could happen to Tokusatsu in general.
I know Kyoryuger had Robert Baldwin, but he wasn't a "core" cast member. I mean would a white/black main hero be welcomed in Super Sentai/Kamen Rider or would it be too radical and heavily backlashed in favour of the traditional Japanese actor? |

That's really not that easy. Like, whenever someone from the West stars in a support role they barely speak Japanese or just drop English lines, because they don't really speak Japanese or aren’t really actors. And if someone is a recurring supporting actor it's not the hero type Japan is crazy about, because the actor just doesn't fit. Instead they have lots and lots of young Japanese actors who want to use Toku as a starting point for their career with big agencies behind them. I'm pretty sure if they would have the chance to cast a foreign-type who fits the requirements, they would do it. Especially in Sentai where the team members besides Red and Nr. 6 aren't that heavily marketed as toys. So it wouldn't even really screw up sales, if that’s what they're afraid of in your theory. At least that’s what I heard the last time we talked about this topic, and it kinda makes sense. And I want to believe that modern Japan isn’t that racist. |

What about, a black sixth member with a gold armor like Kingranger and Abare Black ?

What is Toei's surprise announcement for Super Sentai or Kamen Rider?
For me, it got to be when Toei announced Kamen Rider Drive Saga: Kamen Rider Heart. I was like "How did he got his own movie?! He didn't become Kamen Rider in Drive show!" I never thought we could get a Heart movie! A movie that about a villain that wasn't a Kamen rider! How did that happens?! |

I'm usually over on the KR section of this forum, but am going to try and branch out and watch a season of Sentai. I would like to start strong of course so what are some good ones? To give a little bit of perspective, my top 3 KR seasons are W, Fourze, and 555 (I'm a heathen, I know). I've been considering Kyoryuger because it has the same main writer as W, even though I have heard complaints about Daigo. I'm also considering Ninninger, Jetman, and Shinkenger; but I would love to hear any and all suggestions for what s good and what to avoid!
