Alot of japanese words are in american kids television, and american television in general. It would be a wonderful nod to the original sentai series, and to fans of both Sentai and Kamen Rider.

Dang it.

There are plenty of better ways to homage the source material.

ZeoRangerV is right, there is absolutely no reason to keep "henshin", or any other Japanese word for the sake of sounding cooler, as a call phrase in Power Rangers. "Henshin" is particularly egregious because very few Super Sentai teams use it as part of their call phrases, making it a poor homage.
