Huh. Huh. This is definitely a different angle for Sentai. But it's cool?! I'm into it!

The blue guy looks like Armada Optimus Prime.

Wow, I love it. I'm glad that Toei is open to experimenting with the formula. Hopefully it feels as fresh as (or even more fresh than) Lupinranger vs Patoranger.

Ohhh man that looks amazing. I hope the series can deliver, might be my last Sentai (hopefully not).

So the 6th Ranger will most likely based on 6th mecha, question is which one? The most likely will be Dragon Caesar, but they aoready had a Zyuranger representative.

Still, genius idea to have them be based on Sentai mecha.

This looks absolutely AMAZING. I cannot wait. I love mechanics and robotics and Metal Heroes, which I'm sensing some references here.

The concept is a good one, since we already got a anniversary season that focused on the characters and teams, highlighting arguably one of the most prominent aspects t of sentai is brilliant.

My only fear is that it might be too toy-focused, but with the collectible looking like those little Gears, it looks pretty tasteful - if a little too close to OOOs medals and Ultraman Z coins.

If this suit cannot bring back Sentai SHFs then I don’t know what will.

Holy hell this is so different I love it.

Bet the next anniversary Sentai's gonna base their Rangers around the transformation devices then. :lolol

My one fear is that what makes grounded Sentai fights fun is how unrestricted the simple spandex costumes are; allowing them to flip and jump and run all over the place and exhibit a LOT of body language. A lot of that is used for humour and we've especially seen just how far they can take it in Ryusoulger and Kiramager. The mech fights however... lose that because the mechs are very blocky and bulky and heavy; there's very little manoeuvrability and there's a lot of slow, inelegant moves. It's part of why I don't like the mech parts of Sentai, but it is restricted to those sections and it does make sense to a degree for giant fights.

... bbbut now we've got those blocky heavy costumes in the grounded fights, too. And especially when we do have Zenkaiser over there who is a much more standard Sentai suit (feels weird to call him that but, you know), it's not only going to be a lot of awkward fights; it's going to be an awkward contrast between Zenkaiser impressively flipping everywhere with a lot of co-ordinated choreography while the other Zenkaigers stumble about and flail their box arms.


I don't wanna be negative on this because otherwise I'm all in; I LOVE everything here and I hope Sentai keeps doing out-there stuff like this, but I am a bit fearful for the action scenes is all I'm saying. Maybe they'll pull a Hurricaneger and give them a slimmed down mode?

I'm wondering if the robots will have human forms like the Zyumans had or if they will be purely suit costumes like half the Kyurangers were. If the former it would be cool if they brought back the actors from the four seasons the suits are based on.
