Sounds logical to me, they changed the dynamic of the show completely after Dogma was finished, introduced lots of new characters alongside the new Jin Dogma enemies and heavily shifted the focus towards children.

Which was quite alienating to me, but maybe they had to do that to get new viewers in and survive in the new timeslot.

It's still a big waste. Now I'm quite certain that Super-1 will never travel into space... (I know he did it in the mangas and stuff, I mean the show). Ideally, Super-1's second half would've been focused on space. Give him a rocket of sorts (new toy to sell!) and have Jin Dogma located in space which beams monsters down to Earth or other planets to wreak havoc with Super-1 going after them. You can do all that with cheap effects and a few sets, Star Trek did it too. Or like Kyuranger does it, film in the same locations but paint the extra's faces blue

But I guess they didn't have the budget or the show was just never intended to be more than it needed to be.
