I think what you mean is that Battle Fever J introduced the term "Super Sentai" that wasn’t applied to Gorenger and J.A.K.Q. Until 1995 when they were officially included as the first two shows.

Don't ask me why I know this, I don't even like Sentai, but the history behind it (and Tokusatsu in general) is very interesting.

To be even more technical Gorenger and JAKQ arent even the first "Sentais" out there. Sentai is a genre in japan and consists of alot of different military themed tv shows.

Ishinomori basically did one of those with superheroes.

Matrix is right that the Toei-Marvel deal created Super Sentai as we know it. Gorenger and JAKQ influenced them in how they wanted it to look etc. but without Marvel Toei probably wouldnt even have tried something with the Sentai name again.
