I believe the child was a resemblance of Rio.

It was the same child actor and I guess he represented Rio being reformed, but I don't think he really was Rio.

It definitely wasn't Rio. He was dead.

Well, you could argue that the kid was some kind of reincarnation, but I don't think he is.

The child was meant to remind Jan of Rio. As in he saw the second coming of a fighter like Rio in him.

In the next year will be the sentai birthday ?

Next year is the 40th series, but it is the 40th anniversary this year. Sometime in the next couple of weeks, in fact

I knew it was the same actor who was rio as a child so i thought thats rio as a kid.

Will they make a martial arts super sentai movie in the future?

But it's possible ninninger could have a crossover with the old sentais team ?
