Huh?!

My thoughts exactly, LuPat could in no way work as a mini series, neither could toqger, or any recent sentai. Way too much content with form changes, mecha, and character arc to compress into 10 eps. No recent sentai can be shortened that much, they are made with enough content for 25-35 episodes. I also believe theres is no way to feasably adapt 2 series in a year, thats ludicrous, it takes the production crew a year to finalize 1 series, no way in hell they could do 2. And Kyuuranger has way too many rangers to even try to do it as a second super season, what would the context be for all the additional rangers and how would they all get adequate screen time?

About zenkaiger, its more than likely that it will be another gokaiger situation with the legacy based powers. Bandai has shown a love for rail based encoding on their collectible gimmicks as well as going overboard in legacy seasons. It's more than likely a keybased gimmick, (not literal keys since gokaiger did those) like what they had for marvel disc wars and yokai watch. Something like those could easily fit in a morpher as well as be cheap and easy to produce for gashapon and candy toy, as well as stand apart from the gimmick items of previous installments.

With the mecha i highly doubt a splitting gimmick with the machines. Bandai always spends more, and produces more merchandise during anniversary seasons. That principle coupled with the recent trend of cost cutting and lower parts count with their sentai products, it would require a lot more plastic to engineer a combining mecha that homage 5 distinct series and then also have a splitting feature. With the amount of paint on each vehicle to the stability of the mecha when splitting it, it would cause issues with the mechas structural stability and cut into profit.

Maybe they do something crazy like that, it would be pricey and the engineering would have to be done a specific way, but it may help boost sentais' stagnating sales and reignite interest in the brand. But who knows. Just my two cents.
