Jiraya might be more likely since Saban has adapted Metal Heroes before, but I do fear that any Jiraya adaptation would be abysmal and drive Jiraya fans mad! It would be better if they make a new, similar but dissimilar suit based on Jiraya's parameters so there won't be any conflict.

I was told of that "rumor" here by those who stood by it! I literally have no way to contest the charge of Saban and Ishinomori against each other! Given the sparse American adaptations of the Riders, it makes sense to a degree.

Jiraya is the Wild Card! I simply don't know how that could best be handled! With every Tokusatsu, there is a fan! With every fan, there is someone who either dislikes Western adaptations and/or dislikes the way in which something was adapted! The Jiraya thing would be dependent upon the rights and how it was done! I simply don't think Saban would be willing to pay for the rights if they simply are not needed! Would it be nice: Yes! Would people want a figure of the Jiraya adaptation if it were successful: Yes! Would Bandai produce one should Jiraya be included: ONLY IF PEOPLE ARE NOISY ENOUGH!!!!!
