- The villain designs are not very clear in the presented scans, but I'm not thrilled with what I do see, though there is one exception...

- The Ryusoul Red will clearly use his RyuSoul to transform Tyramigo into KishiRyuOh!

- KishiRyuOh looks to be very agile and the design is growing on me!

- KishiRyuOh's Finisher may utilize the Tyramigo head, which as the scans indicate, can detach from the chest and reattach along the wrist, giving the Mecha Knight a Tyranno Head Arm Weapon!

- KishiRyuOh's "Lego Gattai" System is awkward and amusing at the same time.

- It's clear that KishiRyuOh Three Knights is battling some kind of Monster who looks like a fire-breathing dragon or dinosaur, and this is the exception because the villain design here is actually good and more like an Ultraman Monster than one from Sentai!

- The Strongest Battle Event may be the most interesting here, cause there will be multiple Rangers involved, with some actors coming back to reprise their roles. I sincerely hope that Hasbro is watching closely! It may take a long time to get to this point when it comes to adaptation, but it should seriously be considered!

- The Main Architect is named "Rita", and the Planet Nemesis is the same planet that Bandora's Prison was located on in the beginning of Zyuranger! Whether or not Hasbro is looking closely, Toei certainly is!

- The villains have "MinuSouls" which are a corrupted variety to the RyuSouls. This might serve to explain Gaizorg.

- Ryusoulgers VS. Kyoryuger VS. Abaranger VS. Zyuranger! Either in the Strongest Battle or in a future Team-Up! Just saying.

While it's unlikely Hasbro had any involvement with this show. It's a pretty safe bet they went back to dinosaurs so soon, because of Hasbro. Probably so they could have something easy to work with, and able to push the nostalgia angle in the marketing.

Bringing back planet Nemesis could also be part of that. Maybe there's going to be some Bandora Palace style imagery.

I mean, there's no doubt that conceptually -- as far as the look and the toys are concerned -- they are treading on familiar ground.

With many Rangers involved in the Strongest Battle, it's worthy of adaptation, but there are many elements to consider: The "Thus-Far-Unused-Sentai" including: Much of Pre-Zyu, ToQger, Zyuohger, Kyuranger, Lupinranger VS. Patranger!

It would take some time before we ever get to an adaptation phase unless something radical changes and Hasbro moves faster than light itself!

I also think that Toei is paying attention to P.R. with the dual reference to Rita and Bandora! I don't know exactly why they are doing it outside of a wink and a nod. Since Zyuranger established Planet Nemesis, and the Mini-Series is going to serve as an "Early Bird" Cameo for the new Dinosaur Sentai Ryusoulger, then they could've wanted to reference the first Dinosaur Sentai in the process. Since the nature of using Team-Up Movies to "Early Bird" the New Sentai has clearly changed, the idea of using a Mini-Series to end the Heisei Era and "Early Bird" Ryusoulger could've made the concept seem practical. Naming the new character "Rita" could've been to take advantage of P.R. naming conventions, in much the same way as Go-Busters did, and since Go-Busters is the newly adapted Sentai-to-P.R. for 2019, Toei could be "honoring" P.R. and Go-Busters by naming the character "Rita" as a nod to both the P.R. franchise and a nod to Go-Busters being adapted and for that series using P.R. names in an official Sentai!

I was replying to Matrix's comment about the show, not the toys. Yes, the toys and designs are "safe," but the choice of head writer indicates that this is not going to be a "playing it safe" show.

I disagree. I find it pretty noteworthy when Toei does something they’ve never done with Sentai before (hiring a writer outside their usual toku stable as head writer for the first time in franchise history) especially in a conversation about playing it safe. I specifically think that that is not a safe choice. I also presented my post in the form of a question — which you have not answered, instead preferring to be snarky or whatever.

Your grudge against me has become extremely frustrating. I feel like I can’t post anything without you jumping on me, all because I made one comment — which, admittedly, was pretty jerky — about Jetman well over a year ago. Can we please move on?
