*The genjyuken from Gekiranger incorporates the Chinese zodiac
*Gaim seems to loosely have hints of mythology and religion from what I've noticed notably Norse Mythology and Christianity
*This I pointed out a while back but Kakuranger loosely adapts Journey to the West with their core team dynamic and on-the-road way of doing things
Sasuke/Ninja Red is Sun Wukong/Son Goku the monkey king which is why he has a cloning ability and his mecha are all monkeys
Tsuruhime/Ninja White is Sanzang/Sanzo the monk which is why she is technically the leader
Saizou/Ninja Blue is Sha Wuzing/Sha Gojo the water demon which is why water is his element
Seikai/Ninja Yellow is Zhu Bajie/Cho Hakkai the pig demon which us why he is the muscle of the team
Jiraiya/Ninja Black is Bai Long Ma/Hakuryuba in that he is the last to join the crew
Ninjaman is also in a sense partially based on Sun Wukong in that he was confined for ages just like Sun Wukong at one point in his life
* Dairanger's Ryuseioh is loosely modeled after Sun Wukong and Don Dragoku is based on Ryuseioh(with Torabolt being an analogy to Won Tiger)
* Ohranger is a mix bag of mythology and ancient culture as seen with some of their mecha
Oh Red's Skyphoenix is based on the phoenix
Oh Green's Grantaurus is based on the minotaur despite not being anthropomorphic(could also be a nod to the constellation Taurus)
Oh Blue's Dash Leon is based on the Sphinx
Oh Yellow's Doguu Lnder is based on the Jomon era Doguu sculptures
Oh Pink's Moa Loader is based on the Moai statue
Kingranger's King Pyramider is based on the pyramids
