If we'd seen figure releases, that would be one thing, but we didn't. This isn't a situation like Black RX, Metalder, and B-Fighter where full series, and full toy lines, were released. I wouldn't be super concerned. Toei may not have a clue what they're doing in the American market, but they're not boneheaded enough to sign away the rights to Gavan, especially, for a two episode stint on Beast Morphers.

Right, right... I think I was a bit too hasty, thank you

The more I think about it, the more convinced I am that the most likely reason Gavan and Winspector disappeared from TTW is that Discotek had moderate success with Juspion and licensed two other high profile Metal Heroes to join it.

EDIT: Wait a second, I see most of Winspector and Gavan are still on TTW. :confused: There goes my hope of an impending US release. :lol

Definitely would be nice if Gavan ever makes its official DVD release in the US especially since I found myself interested in checking this series out ever since I watched the Gokaiger and Gavan crossover movie a few months ago.

Well all we can do is wait on Shout Factory to bring over the 1st 13 Ranger shows to US DVD and also Magi forward.

I think it would be good if Shout Factory brought over Magi and Bouken over 2023 and 2024. Any chance of that happening?

For Ultra and Rider shows Shout Factory is streaming them so at least US viewers can still see them.

As for the Ranger shows E One could be saving them for home disk release through Shout in North America. That might be why they're locked on You Tube.

Speaking of TTWO, they finally started subbing Gavan fully.

Sorry if I bumped this thread, but I did started to notice this when I found some video on their YT Channel that I previously had accessed to started to go MIA for no reason (yes, I am a US citizens and resident). Also, I like to add one more thing into this:

This is the same reason why J-pop music couldn't get a global breakthrough in the US and in the west when K-pop was able to do this. That's why you're not going to see any Johnny's boy group become the next BTS, or AKB48 won't become the J-pop's Twice or Blackpink in the near future.
