And no, I don't mean "girls don't like conflict," that's bubkis. I mean "boys on average prefer physical conflict and girls on average prefer social conflict." Boys love seeing stufc like the Duel of Melons because it's an intense awesome battle between two armored warriors but girls would be more invested in the reason WHY the Kureshima brothers were fighting, why they were fighting and how they are handling the Cain and Abel conflict.

Obviously over time kids mature and can appreciate the social interaction (men watching SoL and mahou shojo anime) and conflict for the sake of conflict because it kicks ass (a gamergirl going full agro and pwning n00bs in her Overwatch death match livestream). But initially, kids naturally gravitate to their gender's particular conflict camp and you can't really forcibly change that. Just make something good that bridges the gaps and hope for the best.

Ask Matrixbeast, he knows that idea well~

I feel like expanding the show to females too would be great but they can still make the males the leaders. More girls can look up to these females in super sentai.

That does raise the question though. How often do Tokusatsu's few female fans buy toys? Ratings are nice and all but its the toy sales that actually matter.

Personally though, the addition of plush dolls for Zyuohger and Kyuranger raises an eyebrow. Those are the type of thing you see for girl's shows or shows that appeal to both.
