The point is though, "Abare Pink" was in the sentai series Abareranger and made a return in Gokaiger. There never was a Pink Dino Thunder Ranger, so the joke, as well as the "tribute" would be completely lost.

Also... who said we're getting any sort of tribute episodes? Besides Jason Smith, I haven't heard anything else but cameo roles.

I see.

What about cameos? As lame as I'd thunk it'd be, thet could still have a tribute episode where they change into an old ranger team without a cameo. I mean, we've seen a pic of soneone in a Wild Force Black suit, if I'm not mistaken and we havent gotten any confirmation on any Wild Force cast member returning yet.

How is the AbarePink thing even an issue?

Here's the joke: There are 5 DT rangers, 6 Megaforce rangers. Poke fun at one guy/gal being left out. Boom. Instant laughs. Continue with episode.

I was just letting him know who AbarePink was. No idea why it became an issue.

Or have the plot of the episode revolve around the fact that Emma doesn't have a Dino Thunder Ranger Key, so she makes her own to morph with the team.

I guess it's just a touchy subject, I know it is for me, when people keep dragging sentai into Power Rangers conversations.

Sentai has no purpose or use in a conversation about Power Rangers, I don't get why people don't get this.

with out zyu ranger to gokaiger footage be no power rangers series
there trassic ranger [abare max ]

It, uh...it doesn't? I'm not sure that's entirely accurate.

Minus the footage they use for fights, Power Rangers has unique characters and at least unique spins on the sentai plots, if not entirely unique stories.

So constantly going on about what Gokaiger did, a celebration of an entirely different series, is completely irrelevant here.

Eh. Using the Sentai gives a footing for what PR could possibly do.
