Top 5 Coolest Things NOT Adapted from Sentai to Power Rangers
 

Article goes live in the morning, but what are your top 5 items from Super Sentai that were never adapted in to Power Rangers?

I said it before, I'll say it again: All the Sentai-Exclusive Legendary Ranger Morphs from Gokaiger that got edited out of Super Megaforce.

One of the best parts of SMF is the Legendary Ranger Morphs, and seeing Sentai-Exclusive Rangers for the very first time in America, that makes it even cooler. But unfortunately, we don't get most of 'em 'cause either they're replaced with original footage filmed exclusively for SMF, or just cut completely, and that also goes for those Legendary Sixth Ranger Morphs that got edited out of Silver Linings Parts 1 and 2.

Personally, I think Shout! Factory should capitalize on America finally getting Sentai-Exclusive Rangers by doing what they did when they released the Japanese Transformers G1 Seasons and release the Japan-Only Super Sentai seasons, including all the Pre-Zyuranger seasons from Gorenger to Jetman, PLUS Dairanger AND Kakuranger, since only part of those seasons were adapted for MMPR Seasons 2, 3 and Alien Rangers.

Plus, since each season of Power Rangers goes for under $20 individually, if they did release the Sentai-Exclusive seasons here, it'd be a lot cheaper to get them here than elsewhere.

As someone who came late in the game to the Sentai series, I feel like the biggest misses come in every series.

I actually literally feel offended at the attempts to white wash each Sentai series into what is dribbled in the US. I think it dumbs down the creativity, it insults the intelligence of the very demographic that it is trying to sell to (I'm not talking adults I'm talking the boys aged 8-12 that this is for. An eight year old would completely be able to not only understand, but maybe get more out of a Sentai series than they would a Power Rangers one), and it teaches stereotypes and nationalism in the worst way. I showed my nephew some of the Sentai series since he was a Power Rangers fan. He's 11, and he LOVED it. LOVED IT. With subtitles and all.

I get it to an extent. US rules and compliance, parents with guns in their hands too uptight about their kids seeing people on tv with guns in their hands but not too uptight to let them watch a violent movie, etc. It's hard to NOT be on a soapbox about everything wrong sometimes. I am a parent and I would argue though that not only are the Sentais more mature for kids, but they're classier.

Story wise, all of the misses of the shows listed are correct. Dairanger was dismissed, and while I understand why they wouldn't adapt Gobusters, it is a damn shame, and a slap to the intelligence of those who get it.

Haim Saban gets a lot of !@#@ for having to do what he does to even get a Japanese series adapted so that kids can watch something historic, and yes, the Sentai and Kamen Rider series can actually be identified as historical references both culturally and in media. But I wish that we didn't have to resort to this nonsense to see a kids show that other countries aren't as uptight about.

tl;dr: Parents, teach your kids that Power Rangers originated from Super Sentai and make them watch that instead. Maybe they'll learn Japanese, maybe they'll read better with subtitles, maybe they'll realize there's more to the world than the Walmart down the road and the McDonalds across from their school.

Aside from Dairanger's suits, I think I'm gonna go with Kakuranger's characters. They didn't have to copy and paste them, but I think the Alien Rangers would have been a lot more tolerable if they were the same jokey bunch of idiots as the Kakurangers.

The Space Pirates from Gingaman, Datas, Mystic Brothers, Epic on the Movie, Goseiger VS Shinkenger, Gekiranger VS Boukenger, Go-Onger VS Gekiranger, Goseiger, Gokaiger and Hurricaneger Vs Gaoranger.

I wish Beast-Demon Hunter from the GoGoV movie was used.

You know what would've been an awesome move? Use the suit for Ryan. I mean, they had to make new footage for him, but by using that suit, they could've had footage of him at least being able to work with the others.

Right there.

Datas, yet they show him combined with Gosei Great Megazord. No Mystic Brothers at all, yet we get one episode with Gosei Wonder. And no Goseiger v Shinkenger, yet we get a single episode with Jayden and Master Ji.

Datas
Mystic Brothers
Goseiger v Shinkenger
Jetman

Is my list.

what i really disliked in MF is that they added Tensou so they could have a alpha-5 clone and we got a wall-e rip-off when they could have just use the datas suit for the exact same purpose

I don't understand how Datas didn't fit the bill for their Alpha. It really doesn't make any sense to me how they just omitted him so blatantly. Why create this ridiculously stupid CG robot when you could have just used a pre-existing suit.

Plus had a whole new Mech to sell.

-A RPM-Jungle Fury crossover ala GoOnger VS Gekiranger

-Akibaranger (unofficial I know, but its still official toei sentai...)

-Dairanger suits

-Ninja Storm and Wild Force teamup ala Gao VS Hurricane

-ShinkenBorwn. Id love to have seen Bulk in that role.

The Kensei being recurring characters.

The fact that Saban never intended to adapt Goseiger fully probably had something to do with it.

Yeah, but the arcade machine was way cooler than Wall-E's younger brother from another transistor mother.

Plus he actually looked like something that could assist a talking face glued to the wall.

HANDS you idiots! You have to put HANDS on the assistant robot! Otherwise he can't do jack shit!

Never intended? Yet they kept the Japanese cards, Gosei Great, and on and on, all from Goseiger. How hard would it have been to keep Datas to?

Really damn hard! Like, as hard as making a TV dinner in an conventional oven instead of a microwave!

None of which required new footage, but every scene that isn't Hyper Datas would need to be refilmed?
It would be quite difficult.

Such things aren't possible!

Honestly, it feels like everyone at Saban got real excited when they found out that Gokaiger is a show that calls back to the franchise' history, but then they remembered that they were behind one show.

The way I see it: Goseiger into Megaforce just feels like something that they just wanted to get out of the way as quick as they possibally could.

None of which would've been a problem if they'd have kept the single season a year format, and told Nick where to stick itself. Samurai would've been a single year, then Megaforce, then whatever you want to call Gokaiger. And none it would've been a big deal.

Nick is the DiEnd in the Super Hero Taisen of our Power Ranger Fandom.

I think diaranger would have been cool, I think sabin gave kids back then far to little credit. We would have still gotten new swords they could have found a way to explain the costume change and made it work. I always thought the reason that they were skipping go buster was cause it was to dark in terms of the storyline and how all those people were killed in a teleportation accident.

That's not the reason, though. They don't have to follow the story at all. All they do is just dub over the in suit action, so they can have the story contour to anything they want.

why make gosei how they did rather than use master head or whatever he was called

I know. I mean, they even kept the "Look! The tiny crest on GoseiKnight's head resembles Master Head!" thing in from Goseiger. It does not work because the Tensouder does NOT look like Master Head so it CANNOT look "just like Gosei!"

I don't like Mr. Tiki. No sir, no I don't.

Nor do I.
Princess Shayla was a better mentor. Andrew Hartford was a better Mentor, Master Ji was a better mentor.

DR. HO FROM THE DYNAMAN PARODY DUB WAS A BETTER MENTOR!

Atleast Andrew mentored. Mr. Tiki just.. well, honestly, he just wasn't around for most the season. And when he was he barked an order and disappeared.

So you just take the suit footage and slap whatever you want on top of it. Damm well another show ruined by the internet.

Considering that up till now, the Rangers have been doing all the leg work themsleves I'd say Gosei hardly qualifies as a mentor. :lol

Yeah…screw Gosei, him and his new powers.

Especially since he can't explain black into green!

Or how a person who you think wouldn't be that tough became an expert swordsman!

Did Zordon need to?

5. Pretty much all of the team ups after Dekaranger/ Abaranger to Go-Onger/ Gekiranger.
4. A REAL RPM/ Samurai team up (sorry CotRR)
3. Dairanger suits for season 2 of MMPR (the Super Mega cameo doesn't count)
2. Gaoranger vs. Huricanger
1. Aka freaking Red

On a side note, I am glad that most of the pre-Zyu suits were cut from Super Megaforce. They were never used in the show, so there is no logical explanation for them being in the show. The Dairangers at least have he excuse of almost being used in Lost Galaxy, which makes one wonder if they are using that scrapped idea for this.

Well, no. Unless I'm remembering incorrectly Zordon wasn't behind the Zeo Crystals. It just so happened there was no Black or White Crystal, therefore the colours were swapped.

Gosei specifically made the SMF powers to upgrade the MF ones.

Hm... fair enough I guess.

There's a simple explanation for that....


:p

The explanation being "Shut up and don't question it" :lol

5. Dekaranger vs. Magiranger (to fill the lack of a team up in Mystic Force)
4. Shinkenger vs. Go-Onger (I want an actual team up with the teams. I don't care if they don't have the original actors, I just want 2 full teams!)
3. Goseiger vs. Shinkenger (because I wanted another team up. You can't do one movie and expect us to be happy, Saban!)
2. Gekiranger Gloves (They're gloves. If the actors used them right, Moms wouldn't be worried.)
1. Kamen Rider Decade: World of Shinkenger (Because we need another american Rider series. Just adapt Decade. Hey, previous riders showed up in Masked Rider. Why not just say Decade got his powers from past Riders?)
