Jetman was the supposed last one, and then Zyu since Jet did well and so on and so forth.

Plus I don't think Ohranger's show quality was ever the issue. If it were, say, the 1993 Sentai it could have done pretty well but the tone of the show killed its ratings not because it was too dark for kids, but because Aum Shinryko executed a terrorist attack on Japanese subways and with that being the biggest attack on Japan since getting nuked in WWII, a more edgy Sentai about a serious invasion about Killer Space Robot Armies went over as well in Japan at the time as an all-day Die Hard marathon on AMC would have gone over in America on September 12, 2001.

Unfortunate time really was what hurt it.
