"Demon" has different connotations in Japan. They aren't necessarily evil or from hell, they're just weird magical creatures.
My guess is that we're going to get mythical Japanese creatures, like kappa/tanuki/tengu/kitsune, infused with some sort of technology -- which would align pretty well with the existing rumors. Also, sorry to everyone who was so totally certain we'd be getting a Sports/Olympics-themed series. Please bow down to our new Glitter Demon overlords! |

I don't think it will be a demon-themed sentai, would be more like a mash up between Go-onger and Go-busters. It's just our imagination.

It’s not demons. Why the hell is everybody acting like it has to be demons? Google Translate is a terrible translator. Were the Majin in Majiranger demons? For crying out loud, 魔 is the first half of the Japanese word for magic itself and there’s a lot of Japanese fantasy media talks about “holy magic,” which if you’re so insistent that you’re supposed to be reading that character as demon, even when it’s not being used in that context, would make the concept of holy magic about as rational as saying a rainy desert. You also have MAJIN Buu, who is about as “traditionally demonic” as Goten is.
I am near certain that you were not supposed to be reading it as demon so much is you are supposed to read it as magic. Especially when you have it as others have pointed out, the potential for it to be a pun meaning machine and majin. You know, like the giant robot thing from Zi-O. Because I don’t think a transforming space bike with a clock for a face is a demon found in any sort of grimoire. But for real, seconded.

This is def something new. I think this will have some stuff like Demon Slayer, goth like anime in it. This will be the first Sentai to have a female black ranger since it has demons in the title it just fits in with the theme. I looking forward to see more of this soon sound promising.

What if it is? There's always the small chance it could be. Don't rule it out just yet.

This whole Demons/not demons thing makes me think of the current season.
"OMG WE ARE GETTING DRAGONS because it says Ryu" LIke uh... lets look at past examples Kyouryuu(dinosaur) has Ryu Bakuryuu has Ryu and Kyouryuuger(ok that one there was no denying the dinosaur thing cause its litterally dinosaur ranger) I mean I get why people were hoping and such Knight Dragon squadron Dragonsoulger sounds dragon enough... and I recall seeing some people going "It said Ryu not Kyouryu" but I point those people to Bakuryuu- it says Ryuu not Bakukyouryuu" So yeah Right now it can go any number of ways for the aspect. Of course its fun to try and speculate. For all we know we could still get a sports themed one (yes Shiny would be a better descriptive for medals than glittering but ohwell) Maybe the team are former athletes who were injured and all made deals with Demons/wished with a genie whatever have you to be able to compete yet again. Of course be careful what you wish for, self serving wishes accidentally unleash evil into the world and they are forced to become Kirameiger to stop them. Honestly if the title was something like Rainbow Squadron Crystalger we could expect crystal themed rangers Ruby, Diamond etc.. Mecha wise we'd be totally clueless of course. Jyuken and some of the other past sentai titles at least gave us some idea as what to expect. Sadly just as many don't really give us muchto work with. |

As for the sports thing, even if it does not have any sports element I would not be surprised if they went Red-Blue-Yellow-Black-Green again because Olympics. We already had female yellow, white, blue, silver, red, violet, and green rangers so yes, about time we got a female black ranger. Oh yeah, and a gold ranger for a split second in the Dekaranger movie, which still counts in my opinion.
