So Kyoryuger was the "Electrogun Sentai" hence the Gaburevolver.

Dang, you know what? They 100% are Electrogun Sentai as well as Voltasaur Sentai! My mind is blown!

Toei, you rascally punsters!

Nah its clearly meant to be the Electric Beast Sentai. Since the Juu in Juuden is wirtten with the Kanji 獣 as opposed to 銃 the one thats used for the word gun.

Yeah, but then again, puns are often based on homophones.

Then again again, this is Japanese and I'm used to English puns.

They can be in the japanese language too sure but its much more common that puns like these are done by using the kanji in a different way.

Like with Engine Sentai Go-Onger. Engine is an english word so it should be written in katakana. But its written in kanji as 炎神 which translates to Flame God.

I think you're underestimating how much the Japanese in general, and Toei in particular, love puns. I get what you're saying about the kanji, but dude, they literally transform with an electro-gun!!!

So what if we are wrong in our assumptions that it will be like Gaoranger? What if they are hunters that are animal themed? Like all the animals used will be ones that are known as good/effective hunters? They are gun-kings/hunters and they go through space to catch different things. Maybe that is where the space and princess stuff is coming from; we had space pirates for the 35th, what if it is space hunters this time?

Just an idea.

I'd be rather interested in watching that, especially if they went with a bounty hunter like idea that incorporated some of the older military bits from the Showa era. The main villain faction can be similar to Timeranger and have fled to Earth, so the rangers, a team of bounty hunters, are put on the job to hunt them down and catch them.

Interesting idea, Red5.

I doubt that Toei would encourage animal hunting in a show geared for kids. BUT if we subtly twisted your idea and made the team more like Ash & Co from Pokemon, who collect and have positive relationships with their animals (err--when they're not making them fight for their own amusement, that is), I could see that being a total possibility. (And I actually wonder why that hasn't been the basis of a Sentai team already. Though maybe Gaoranger is already like that? I know very little about it.)
