This adds into the whole "Zyuohger will be skipped" idea and personally, the Great King Sword which serves as the head of ZyuohKing and the "Minecraft-like" appeal of ZyuohKing's chest were always gonna be a problem in my book. I wish Zyuohger would be adapted in a small capacity so they could use the Gokaiger two-parter, but this is so far out there that Saban's people will probably maintain a watchful eye. PR has always maintained a watchful eye, but when one fails their expectations and another fulfills them more ideally, then the eye tends to gaze with greater intent. Somehow, the increased numbers make sense. The numbers in "Extra Heroes" have steadily increased over the years and doesn't "Kyuu" mean "nine"? If Sentai is suffering from mediocrity, then a different appeal and theme is needed to revitalize interest. Also, Saban and Co. would have to hire more people than the standard five to count with this one!

Now some thoughts on both the Sentai and a theoretical PR adaptation:

- Kyuuranger will have some team-ups with Space-themed Toku. Fourze will likely become one of the most prominent.

- Kyuuranger will likely have stories which remind us that the numbers are larger this time. With so many right-off the bat, little time for filler. Some characters might be less explored

- Kyuuranger will either have more or less than the average number of auxiliaries in terms of Mecha. More for the sake of toys, but less since they have to accommodate ALL the Rangers.

- Plenty of possibilities for in-fighting among the team. Probably will see some discord.

- Power-ups and other Rangers are gonna be tricky here. If we truly have nine to start with, does ANYONE qualify as a "Sixth Ranger"?

- PR might have less original elements to compensate for the increased use of original footage and actors.

- PR should consider using elements from older seasons, like In Space and S.P.D., and given the advent of Dekaranger 10 Yrs. After and the upcoming Gavan vs. Dekaranger, it's entirely possible that something might be considered. The team-ups need to be used more, either from Toei releasing restrictions or Saban shelling-out the money to obtain the rights.

- Kids don't always know the Constellations. Hell, even I don't know or understand all of the Constellations. Saban's gonna have fun with this one without turning it into "Power Rangers: Horoscope Discovery" or some bull like that!

- Nick might want to give Saban some more leeway in scheduling to deal with some of the complexities in modulating character development and following the Kyuuranger timing.

- Saban might want to use this as an excuse to explore some of the PR-exclusive planets throughout franchise history. A return to Aquitar, Mirinoi, and KO-35, and Onyx, and even Eltar?

- Bandai of America will seriously need to learn the difference between "quantity" and "quality" with this one!
