Okay maybe not a whole lot of attitude but definitely the first all-teenager team ever. The opening theme sung by Kenta Sato who played Riki Honoh/Red Turbo is still to this day the best Sentai theme song in my opinion with the right amount of energy, and it was Heisei's first sentai team. And it makes sense as a new era begins for Japan they had the core theme being energetic and youthfulness as the big keywords. Also, this was the show that brought back the レンジャー suffix last used by Gorenger. The show also tripled down on the robots with Turboranger being the first team to have a second combination by just having the Super Turbo Robo combine with their base to form a even bigger one in the form of Super Turbo Builder. Two of the cast members went on to appear in future toku shows; Junichiro Katagiri who played the gymnist of the team Shunsuke/Yellow Turbo appeared in Winspector, Solbrain, and Janperson, and Fujita Okamoto who played Dr. Dazai, their mentor and tech support, appeared in Timeranger as Mr. Asami aka Tatsuya/Time Red's father.
So back to Kenta Sato. He really surprised people for a toku theme song concert in 2004 when he appeared to sing the theme song IN THE SAME CIVILIAN OUTFIT HE WORE IN THE SHOW RED JACKET AND ALL.

THAT IS DEDICATION. The jacket, the striped shirt, black pants and shoes, and RACING GLOVES.
