It was more of people were fed up with the same old with Super Sentai when it was time for Fiveman and Winspector was relatively more popular that year circa 1990 in Japan. Like the dx robot lineup for Fiveman was not a whole lot different from Turboranger. Which is why they tried changing things up the following year with Jetman.

But wasn't Fiveman the first season where all the rangers were siblings? Quite an innovation.

There was one factor that people would watch hoping
Shout Factory would bring over Turbo Ranger to dip further
into pre Zyus.

The forward is also true so maybe Shout will bring over Magi.

Sometimes people will watch and enough to warrant
Shout bringing over another one.

We got Aba and Deka.

It could have been a ride it out factor.

Fiveman gets a bad rap for more than one reason:

- Sunred's position of "Fiveman suffers from same-old-same-old" isn't entirely wrong, nor is the position that Winspector was popular at the time.

- Another thing that has come up over the years is that the Fiveman toys weren't of great quality. Probably not a good idea to put down a lot of money for a packaged sidearm, cause it may yellow or break! By comparison, the Winspector Giga Streamer was touted as one of the popular toys of that period.

- There was also backlash around that time against Otaku culture. I think a high-profile murder case may have led to some shakeups, hence why Winspector is "Rescue Heroes" and Fiveman has a familial focus angle. Dig around on earlier thread postings for more.

Didn't Fiveman also introduce a mech that got destroyed permanently after like 3 episodes or is that something twitter lied about?

I only watched 6 episodes so far so I haven't seen that yet.

Depends on how you look at it.

Magma Base didn't do a whole lot, and the ultimate combination Max Magma did even less!

Episodes 29 and 44 really constitute the brunt of what they can do.

The finale trashes the base and any potential for a future Gattai to make the Big Bad seem powerful and threatening and to put the focus on a flower!

I'm watching Hurri having seen the perfume incident today.

I'm not sure if what happened to Crimson Ranger had happened to Hunter in
Ninja Storm so I'm a little confused here.

I also ask this as for 5 episodes of Lightspeed Rescue Ryan had trouble
with a cobra tattoo.

What was Crimson Ranger infected with in Hurri?

I do love seeing King-Ohger changing up the costume formats. Those undersuits are definitely not spandex, very Heisei Rider-ish if you ask me.

The perfume incident?
