I agree with the others before me on this, but would like to stress a few possibilities as I have pondered how I would've done something similar:
A): If you want to give attention to Sentai, then you'll probably have to focus more on Power Rangers because that is what casual people will recognize. Sentai can easily get in there thanks to Shout's DVD releases, but don't make it too highbrow. Reference the differences between the two, like what PR kept and what PR cut (i.e.: King Sphinx and Dora Sphinx from Zyuranger).
B): Don't hesitate to give focus to Tokusatsu in general. Think of it this way, when Godzilla was ported-over, didn't they do new scenes with Raymond Burr to make it acceptable to American audiences of the time? Much of the same techniques: dubbing, cutting, and adding new scenes have been used by Saban and Disney with Power Rangers for years.
C): If intending to quote some of the Tokusatsu info from other sources to outline what you are trying to say, the August Ragone Sentai Trivia Videos on Shout's Youtube Channel would be a good start.
D): Consider the ages and maturity of the audience. Sentai can include more adult themes and might be too over-the-top for some people. Power Rangers is not championed by every single parent because of its subject matter and Sentai goes even further at times.
E): As what the others have said here, be mindful about the potential for ridicule. Most have no respect for Power Rangers, and Sentai would likely find itself subject to initial criticism because others will not see anything but Power Rangers to begin with.
F): If I were doing this, I would personally consider using a Powerpoint approach and taking the time to do each important detail. However, that is one of the most important aspects here: time! May have to consider what is more important in order to get the point across.
G): Images of toys, especially imaginative poses of your own if you have any figures might suffice better than bringing in a sample.
H): References to the real-world, including the various pop-culture allusions that writing and dialogue have made to other things might help ease people. For example, during the Wedding three-parter of Season 2, Eye Guy popped-out one of his eyes and said "Here's looking at you kid!" to Rita. This line was popularized by the classic film Casablanca.
This is my take on how to handle some of this. Don't listen to me in entirety as there are others with better ideas. If you are serious about this, then you'll have to consider how far you want to go with this.
