But like I said, if OP only wants to do Sentai/Power Rangers, then do it.

For a Sentai-focused series, I'd start off by mentioning Power Rangers as a framing device. Then mention that it was based on a show called Super Sentai. Then say "but to understand its history, we have to go all the way back to 1975" or whatever. From there summarize Goranger - Jetman, and make sure you include Spider-man as well. At that point, talk about Zyuranger and how it was adapted to Power Rangers, and then where the series went from there. Of course, you don't have to stick to that format at all - that's just how I would do it. For a Toku-focused one, I guess you could start off similarly, by mentioning Power Rangers, but instead of going back to 1975, you'll go back to 1954.

Even for a Power Rangers history lesson, this second paragraph is ideal. Start with a reference, then take a step back to fully explore the details. Spiderman can get it on two fronts because Leopardon helped give rise to Battle Fever Robo which would radiate outward into the inevitable concept of "Megazords", and because Stan Lee considered doing what Saban ultimately would.
