So from what I have researched, this is what I gather about Dairanger:

Saban owns the rights to Dairanger for the United States adaption of Power Rangers - they had to purchase the whole she-bang from TOEI in order to use the White Ranger, zord footage, and monster footage/suits. This would explain why Saban almost brought them in as "Legendary Rangers" in the "Lost Galaxy" season, to be shown as part of Magna Defendor's team that was destroyed eons ago. They have the rights to it, why not use it?

That being said, in Gokaiger, there's almost no footage of Kibaranger (White Ranger) without the other Dairangers. Thus showing the White Ranger would require showing the Dairangers as well if you're using source footage.

We also saw a remade Dairanger key at SDCC which was removed the last day of the show.

Now, this is speculatory, but I'm throwing it out there - all the suits we've seen in Super Megaforce shots have been shown in the Legendary War and that's it. Wild Force, Lost Galaxy were seen on-set but were also in the Legendary War pictures from the actors who went there.

We have yet to see any suit NOT shown in the pictures of the Legendary War.

The last time we saw the White Ranger suit, it was an old stunt suit that was falling apart (Dino Thunder - Fighting Spirit).

What are the possibilities that, to save money, Saban didn't have TOEI ship over a bunch of suits and instead just used what's in their own archive? Meaning that a majority of the footage in Super Megaforce will be straight Gokaiger footage, just like with Samurai and Super Samurai? And thus the only way to show the White Ranger (if they didn't bring the suit over) is to go ahead and show the Dairangers as well?

I hope I'm wrong but it's a thought.
