Bandai of America was involved in development for Kyuranger, not Saban. However, this does bring up the question whether or not Kyuranger will be adapted at all now, since Beast Morphers will be the first Power Rangers series under Hasbro.

You may be on to something here. If I had to guess, Saban probably WAS planning on adapting Kyuranger next after Ninja Steel had concluded, but because of Bandai of America's poor reputation with making Power Ranger toys, that may be why Saban switched over to Hasbro and probably why we're getting Go-Busters next instead of Kyuranger.

In all honesty, I'm kind of happy Saban decided not to adapt Kyuranger. The thing about that Sentai is that having TWELVE Rangers in your show doesn't give a lot of time for each character to be fully fleshed out, especially when adapting it into two 20-episode seasons of Power Rangers.
