Haven't had enough time to devote to this, but there are a few points to make.

As we've seen in PR and Sentai, "Dead Zords" don't always stay dead! They can come back and we can continue adapting Kyuranger if the desire to do so is there. Sadly, there is no desire.

I don't think that the length of time in between 2017 and now is enough of a reason to not produce a follow-up to the Movie Continuity. Scenes set in the past can be used to provide background and a setup for the present day events. The fact that some of the actors have aged only means that getting all of them back might prove difficult, but I think we could convince some of them to come back and show what happened in the interim between 2017 and now.

The long-standing theory that Zyu2 Black Ranger Zack with Tommy's Dragon Shield and armbands was the basis for Kingranger in Ohranger has yet to be mentioned here. Granted, it was Toei doing something for PR that inspired Toei, but still.

Does nobody remember the G-Zord from Timeranger? That was the mecha who canonized the term "Zord" in Sentai long before Go-Busters!

The Kyoryuger Spirit Rangers were supposedly inspired by the Jungle Fury Spirit Rangers.

Granted, a lot of these are just winks and nods and Toei taking inspiration when and where they can, but it does show that people involved in Sentai aren't always opposed to PR and are willing to give them some kind of credit where it's due. Also, Power Rangers is occasionally dubbed over for the Japanese market and the brand recognition is why South Korean dubs of Sentai use the name. It was "Power Rangers Dino Force Brave" before it was "Kyoryuger Brave"! Just sayin'.

The sheer number of PR-Exclusive Rangers is staggering and much more involved than a handful of exceptions thanks in no small part to BOOM!

Granted, some are just variants on top of variants, but the significance of such uniqueness cannot be ignored.

What aggravates me about so many of these Rangers is the sheer lack of memorabilia to promote them! Some exist largely as LC figures without any real fiction to back them up, like the Cobra Kai Crossover Rangers. Not even the Hyperforce Rangers have actual figures to their name save for tabletop figurines, and that's an issue that goes back to Saban and Bandai!
