It's also no great secret that tokusatsu as a whole has explored elements of history and science for inspiration and/or backstory.

Gaim might have an appeal on the zaniness factor, but was there something else that precipitated such a merger? Something the writers and showrunners mentioned in interviews that inspired them to combine historical warrior concepts with fruits?

Also, Gaim is Gaim! Anything that does the same thing in an attempt to duplicate the success based on little more than zaniness and memories of Gaim might not succeed.

Yes and yes. The ninja disguised their smoke bombs as fruit and used the youkai's appearance to instill fear in their enemies.

I don't know about the history, but in 2009's Fresh Pretty Cure, the theme is also fruits and dancing.

But after all, Gaim itself takes the previous seasons of riders and anime about magical girls as a basis. So everything is possible, the main thing is not to be inspired by one thing.

I can imagine the new ninja rangers going by Hurricaneger vs Gouraiger until united by one ranger. With the concepts of ninjas & fruits

First Trio:

• Red (male): Apple/Strawberry/Cherry + "Animal/Yokai"
• Blue (male): Blueberry/Blue Raspberry + "Animal/Yokai"
• Yellow (female): Banana/Lemon/Pineapple + "Animal/Yokai"

Secondary Trio:

• Violet/Purple - with pink accents (female): Grape/Plum/Peach + "Animal/Yokai"
• Orange (male): Orange/Mango/Grapefruit + "Animal/Yokai"
• Green (male): Pear/Kiwi/Watermelon + "Animal/Yokai"

Sixth Ranger:

• White: Lychee/Guava/Coconut + "Animal/Yokai"

So how was Carranger? *munches on popcorn* :lolol

Finished Aba today.

Admittedly I liked this series better than Dino Thunder.

Once I watch Growl and Hurri this will finish the Jetix era of
the series.

I'm also nearly done with Kyo Ryu (Dino Charge).

Next will be To Qu Ger to resume.

The thing is as so much time has gone by maybe
people in the west are ready for these series.

30 years ago it might not have happened but with
Dino Fury out of the way people in the west are
free to see the shows. Saban and Disney might
have been trying to avoid spoilers possibly and now
Shout Factory is bringing the source shows over.
It made sense to start with Zyu.

We just got Deka (SPD) back in February.

Beast Morphers was running when we got
Hurri BTW. Enough time has passed as
Power Rangers isn't adapting these. Now
we wait for Shout to phase in the shows
up to Kyo Ryu. This time Go Busters would
go first. So we would in a way get Dino Charge
after Beast Morphers.

Go Busters and Kyo would be good.

The pick ups

Go Busters
Kyo Ryu
To Quger
Nin
Zyu Oh
Lu Pat

This would give us 3 extra years assuming
Shout continues after Deka.

If King-Ohger will someday get adapted into Power Rangers, what are suitable ethnic backgrounds for them?

And Violet Ranger can either be fully female or non-binary, depends.

• Red: ?
• Blue: ?
• Yellow: ?
• Violet: ?
• Black: ?
• White: ?

Thats a bit of an odd question. I don't think any ethnic background is more or less "suitable" for any of them. Power Rangers does a solid job at having diverse casts without resorting to any sorts of stereotypes

I probably asked this a long time ago but I'm too lazy and we have had new teams ever since so here goes.
Which one ranger suit do you think would look better in another color? Personally I think Kiramai Yellow would look nice in black as well.

How would you all picture more King-Ohger with these colors? What would their kingdoms/queendoms be like? That includes which insects fit them.

• Green - ?: ? + ?
• Orange - ?: ? + ?
• Pink - ?: ? + ?
• Cyan - ?: ? + ?
• Brown - ?: ? + ?

The three Guardian insect zords don't count.
