So if Zenkaiger does have literal references to past Sentai (instead of just having design nods to them like Boukenger's villains or the Lupin Collection pieces), Hasbro could just go back and adapt the seasons Disney skipped, and save Zenkaiger until after that. That approach could even let them plan more and put foreshadowing from one season to the next, and really build up the shared universe leading up to Zenkaiger.

Alternately, they could adapt Zenkaiger first, and explain appearances by skipped-over Sentai as either rangers from the future, rangers whose stories haven't been told yet, or brand new rangers whose chronological first appearance is their Zenkaiger-adaptation cameo, using that season to build up hype for future PR seasons or spin-offs adapting those skipped Sentai. Kinda like how some heroes in the MCU first appeared in some other hero's movie or an Avengers crossover before getting their own movies.

I think a compromize between those two options would be best. Save it for the 35th Anniversary in 2027/2028 and use the four years after Dino Fury to adapt two more skipped Sentai to make Zenkaiger easier to adapt and more profitable.

Personally, I would like to see either Zyuohger or Kyuranger which could have crossovers with SMF and Captain Chaku respectively, followed by LupinPatren, which is perfect for Nick's stupid 2 year format and the Lupin Collection could be a precursor for the powers used in the Zenkaiger adaption.

Back to Sentai, I haven't actually talked about Zenkaiger yet but I mentioned before that I would like to see the Sentai equivalent of Zi-O. If this is it, I'm intrigued to see how it looks.
