It was also a sequel to Denziman, which was also very popular, so it probably had a lot of hype built up from that.

Also, don't be so dismissive. Some pretty great stuff aired in the 80s, ya know.

MatrixBeast just really doesn't like the series.

Fair point. If I recall correctly, there were even plans for a proper crossover arc that had to be scrapped.

I know. I was referring more to other things that aired in the same decade.

Given all the stuff that happened around Vul Panther's actor a few years ago, I wouldn't bank on a reunion happening any time soon.

Actors can be replaced

But what happened to him?

They could always just have the team only show up in-suit. It might be weird seeing them out of suit, considering their age. Heck, it was weird seeing Geki out of suit in Kyoryuger vs Go-Busters, and Sun Vulcan is 10 years older than Zyuranger. But considering Hiroshi Fujioka has reprised his role as Takeshi Hongo, I guess anything is fair game.

That would be incredibly disrespectful towards him, though.

They can, but why would Toei bother resurrecting a 34 year old series to not have any of the original characters feature? You specifically said you would like to see a sequel, but if your proposed team up didn't feature the originals why not just make a "Sun Vulcan inspired" series instead?

Vul Panther's actor, Asao Kobayashi, arrested for sex crime

More criminal charges against Vul Panther's actor
