Actually pretty sure those initial photos have nothing to do with Zenkaiger, as they match up exactly with a pair of local heroes, according to this tumblr post.

Yeah they do sorta have that bargain bin knockoff look to some extent. especially Vroom.

And this is true I remember someone saying we saw photos of Magine and Gaon so we KNOW that theywere 100% confirmed when in fact it was a blurry pink hero and blurry yellow hero that honestly proved nothing other than MAYBE a pink and yellow robot ranger not the names or themes. Though if they were actually local heroes that makes a ton more sense especially since they did look a little more thrown together which seems to be how some local heroes tend to look.


Anyways I'm not sure what to think it certainly looks different and i get it, I do hope we do get some sort of transformation sequence for the other 4- though at the same time why not just give them normal suits if doggy can detatch his muzzle, and all of Js robot bits can seemingly vanish into the form of a clearly human suit actor then why couldn't these guys?

I feel they saw a positive reaction to the uniqueness of the Kyuranger suits and decided for one reason or another this was the perfect time to take that idea and kick it up a few notches. Visually it once again stretches what it means to be a sentai kinda like how gekiranger turned things upside down with the lack of belts, or Go-busters clearly looked like they were just wearing a leather shirt and pants rather than a spandex body suit. or the rather nonconformative look of the various Kyurangers. This could be a good thing but at the same time they went to an extreme so it could feel way to gimicky and bight them in the rear.

I still feel its a little odd seeing a green stripe on Zenkaiser's suit. I know everyone is saying its because its a nod to Big One and Go-ranger and whatever but, they added a pink stripe so it cant be purely because of big one he had no pink stripe they could of still had a nod to him with JUST the other team colors. I feel it would of looked just fine with say Pink Blue Red Yellow then the red center stripe or space it a tiny bit so we get a white break between the yellow and the red center stripe sticking with the Pink blue red and yellow stripes. Maybe its just me I feel the inclusion of the green stripe seems kinda pointless. You wouldn't slap some random animal that never shows up on some animal themed ranger or logo just to pay tribute to some past team.

Though there is a chance it could foreshadow a green 6th ranger in which case nice job just as it stands now I feel they could of still managed a tribute/homage to Big One without the green stripe. We still would of recognized 4 colored stripes on a primarily white ranger with a cape as a nod to JAKQ's Big One.
