But when we are talking cold-blooded killer robot in super sentai, Bio Hunter Silva I'd say is more iconic though.

Okay I finally watched episode 29. The Hakaizer suit is amazing! Super excited to see it in action.

I find that sad. Ninja Captor has an interesting take on costume design, and while I've gotten used to the initial line being Gorenger and JAKQ and Battle Fever J, it's interesting that there might be one which should also be included and I wouldn't have a problem adding this into the equation mentally.

An article that first brought this series to my attention: http://ukiyaseed.weebly.com/ukiyasee...t-super-sentai

I will state this, while I think that the article's claim about staff differences is relevant in some capacity, I also think the information about airdates might be flawed. It states that Ninja Captor aired from April 7, 1976 - January 26, 1977 and that JAKQ premiered two days later after it ended.

In accordance with the information I've seen based on Sentai Episode Premieres (and accepting the article's timeline for Ninja Captor's original airdates as solid), Ninja Captor premiered between Gorenger 45 and 46 and ended between Gorenger 77 and 78.

JAKQ apparently premiered on April 9, 1977, which is definitely NOT two days after Ninja Captor! I'm thinking that the article's author may have gotten confused regarding the years.

Either way, Toei seems to be committed to the idea that Ninja Captor is NOT a part of Super Sentai as they uploaded the first two (subtitled) episodes to their weird YT Channel, and they would be region-blocked if they were official Sentai episodes! That said, I hope Toei gets wise to the fact that Ninja Captor matters and that it should not only be referenced, it might need a reboot/revival.

Be a hell of an Easter Egg if Gokai Silver freaked out over the appearance of Ninja Captor and someone asked if they were a Sentai, and Silver gave a neither here-nor-there answer!

I think the Sentai worlds will be something brought up near the end particularly. I'd be neat if they took multiple Sentai worlds and made a composite World monster out of say, 5 or 10 of them.

curious about the sentai worlds have multible i know it sounds crazy.

yeah but looks familiar.

It kinda resembles a Guyver suit.

oh of course.

ok will find out.

Well, like I said, it's lost all franchise relations. As a result, it's in a similar boat to stuff like Henshin Ninja Arashi and Kaiketsu Zubat as "Standalone Henshin Hero" now, with no connections to any of the big 3 (Sentai, Rider, and Metal Hero).

I don't think Ninja Captor has enough of a legacy to get a reboot (Seeing as how much larger series' attempts at reboots or revivals haven't done as well, either), but it would be nice for them to actually acknowledge it's connection beyond this random reference in Zenkaiger.

Hell, maybe they could do what Let's Go Kamen Rider did with Zubat, Kikaider, Kikaider 01, and Inazuman and have the Ninja Captor team make a reappearance in a film for a little bit.
