Dire wolf howl, Yaju Violet! Cave bear strength, Yaju Orange! Ground sloth patience, Yaju Brown! Woolly rhino charge, Yaju Yellow! Mammoth wisdom, Yaju IceBlue! Freezing evil in its tracks, Hyogaki Sentai Yajuman! The name means "Ice Age Team Beastman," and the first five are university students from the modern age while IceBlue is a warrior-princess from an ancient civilization. The story starts with a strange old man mysteriously appearing in a prestigious university. He claims to be a shaman from an ancient tribe who was preserved in ice, and says that in prehistoric times, Earth was ruled by an empire of dinosaur-like humanoids called Yokuatsaur (from "yokuatsu" meaning oppression) who enslaved early humans before being overthrown and turned into fossils. He warns that modern society's reckless use of fossil fuels has disturbed the vengeful spirits of the Yokuatsaur, but most people dismiss his claims as either a hoax or insanity. However, when the ghost of a Yokuatsaur awakens inside a vehicle at a nearby construction site, turning it into a monstrous fusion of machine and undead dinosaur, the shaman gathers five students who are willing to trust him, and teaches them a ritual used by ancient warriors to call on the spirits of beasts, becoming superpowered heroes! Eventually, they also rescue a warrior-princess from the ancient tribe who the Yokuatsaur froze to imprison her, and she joins the team while slowly adjusting to the modern world. You wanted a spin on the classic prehistoric life, so I decided to give the dinosaur theme to the villains for a change (the big bad is based on a tyrannosaurus rex, naturally) while the heroes are themed on ancient mammals and have a caveman-inspired aesthetic, with the ice-blue armor evoking the Ice Age. Other Ice Age creatures like glyptodon (basically a giant armadillo with a spiky club for a tail) would be auxiliary mecha. |
Ok now let's do an opposite to what I already have before. Instead of gold, it's black. So Black with red accent, Black with blue accent, Black with yellow accent, Black with pink accent and Black with green accent. They do fight evil in the form of alien monsters trying to invade and destroy earth but they aren't exactly "nice" people either; they do this (fighting against evil) only because they were told to anyway. In truth they wouldn't have done so if not told to. They are more dark and rogue in theme. Kinda anti-hero in a sense.

Uragi Blue! Locked on target. Uragi Yellow! ME ANGRY! Uragi Pink! Hehe, slice 'em up~ Uragi Green! I miss my lab... Gokuhi Sentai Uragiranger! This planet is ours! The name means "Top Secret Team Betrayal-ranger" and they're actually members of the same alien invasion they're fighting against, Red is even one of the generals! But he wants to overthrow their leader and seize power for himself (think Starscream), so he made a deal with the Earthling government agency that monitors and tries to defend against alien threats: He and four of his trusted(ish) co-conspirators will fight to defend Earth from the invaders, in exchange for the agency providing them with tech, intel, a secret base, human disguises, and other support in their plot to take down the other generals and the leader. The arrangement has to be kept top-secret from both the alien invaders (to keep them from finding the traitors in their ranks) and the Earthling public (to keep them from learning their "heroes" aren't actually on their side), so the Uragirangers and their equipment have a spy/Men in Black sort of aesthetic, including the primarily black suits. Meanwhile, the aliens are based on UFOs, cryptids, etc. similar to Jark Matter from Kyuranger. In personality, each one is a natural villain: Red is a megalomaniac, Blue a war machine, Yellow a brute, Pink a yandere and Green a mad scientist. The clash between that and their attempts to act as heroes or blend into normal society could be a great source of both comedy and drama. Over the course of the series, they would have character development and grow genuinely fond of Earth and humans, but until the finale it'd be kept ambiguous whether they'd redeem themselves or not. |

Well, since I can give not only colors, but also a theme, I’ll try this. Red - Saber; Blue - Violin; Black - Swallow; Green - Willow; Pink - Pig. And the Trinity for Gold , who appears later. Since this is more complex than a single motif, you can choose what the theme, weapon or fur will be individually for each of the team. The main thing is to have a connection.

Graceful dancer, Shumi Blue! Sharp-eyed watcher, Shumi Black! Patient gardener, Shumi Green! Caring collector, Shumi Pink! Worldwide traveler, Shumi Gold! Passion is what makes life worth living! Jonetsu Sentai Shumiranger! The name means "Passion Team Hobby-ranger," five people whose great enthusiasm for their hobbies (kendo, classical music, birdwatching, gardening, stuffed animals and the Triathlon) gives them the power to stand up to an evil megacorporation that wants to steal peoples' passion and turn them into workaholics, with the ultimate goal of converting them into robots with no free will. That's right, while other sentai use the power of friendship or teamwork or bravery or whatever, the Shumirangers use the power of HOBBIES! It's less silly than it sounds, I swear, this story would emphasize how hobbies are a manifestation of people's passion and will to enjoy life. Red is a swordfighter, obviously, while Blue wields a baton and a dance-like fighting style, Black is a sharpshooter with a binoculars-themed gun, Green uses a sickle to cut down enemies, Pink has boxing gloves and the strength of a charging boar, and Gold fires air blasts from a bike pump and has super speed on land and in water. And much of their arsenal is given to them by other hobbyists they ally with, for example an indie mangaka is the one who first teaches them how to use their powers (which is also why their powers manifest as the usual sentai tropes like transformations and mecha), a model kit fan unlocks their mechas' ability to combine, and later a cosplayer's samurai garb becomes Red's super form. I admit these mismatched motifs were a challenge, but I actually quite like the resulting idea. Totally not a social commentary on Japan's infamous culture of overwork or on corporate greed in general ;) |
