Would be awesome if we have a homage to the 80s/90s !!

Gorenger lasted two years, from '75 to '77.
While, from a yearly perspective, it would be the 40th anniversary, it'd only be the 39th series.
Part of the first post was also asking which they'd use as the 40th, since they get two opportunities.

Yeah I forgot about Sentai usually celebrating the anniversary by series and not actual years. my mind was more with Kamen Rider when I wrote that since with Rider they actually celebrate 45 years of Kamen Rider soon.

Yeah. Things can get a little off thanks to Gorenger being a hog and lasting an extra year :p

In a way Battle Fever J became Woody from the first Toy Story and Gorangers became Buzz Lightyear.

Hmm, I can kinda see how that works~

Toei should stop with this gimmick in sentais !!

How would you build a sentai without a gimmick?
I'm not saying it's impossible, but a strike team to fight evil just seems like a played out concept for heroes in general, not just sentai.

So long as gimmicks drive the toylines and sell really really well they wont go away anytime soon.

Besides, gimmicks make things more interesting.
...Most of the time~
