Well again, there are significant differences there:-

- Unlike its adaption, Go-Busters never really played up its animal theming. Sure, the zords had animal modes; but they were minor points and beyond a few details and it wasn't a significant part of the roleplay weapons, the combined mecha or even the ranger designs themselves. The only time I feel it was ever played up was with Tatagami Li-Oh, which of course debuted after OOO ended.

- There was tech in both Go-Busters and Fourze, yeah; but obviously with much different theming. Go-Busters was more about spy equipment and operations while Fourze was full-on space. ... and, uh, switches.


It's not so much that there can't be a tech-based sentai alongside a tech-based rider; or a mystic-based sentai alongside a mystic-based rider. It's more what form that takes -- Ninninger and Ghost both had mystical elements to them, but one was about ninjas while the others was about spectres and historical figures.
