The name means "Dream Team Night-ger." It starts with a genius but lazy high schooler who aces every test but falls asleep in class, and dreams of a fox-warrior fighting nightmarish monsters. When a monster from his dream appears in real life he instinctively tries to protect his classmates, and his courage manifests a bracelet that he dreamed the fox-warrior wore, which he uses to become Yoru Fox!

Over the first handful of episodes, he finds four other students who've also been dreaming about monsters and who manifest their own bracelets when their courage is strong enough: A friendly gyaru gal becomes Yoru Cat, a studious class rep becomes Yoru Crow, a ninja-loving otaku becomes Yoru Frog, and a hotheaded soccer player becomes Yoru Rabbit.

Later on, a shy and secretive new transfer student becomes Yoru Tanuki, and after losing and re-finding his courage in the face of his worst nightmare, Fox unlocks his upgraded form Yoru Fox Nine Tails!

Unlike a lot of sentai, for much of the story the rangers know precious little about what the monsters are or where they're coming from, and that mystery drives a lot of the overarching plot as they try to find the source of the dream monsters with help from one of the teachers (not sure what subject yet, probably science).

Also, the mecha battles take place in some kind of dream world which the monsters retreat to after being defeated in the real world, and if they aren't destroyed there they'll just keep coming back to the real world.

I was thinking for a slight DOOM-esque Christian theme, basically fighting against Satan and the Demons in a Hell-like Earth. Red, Blue, Yellow (Leader), Green and Black. Yellow can upgrade to become golden. Maybe powerful knights killing off demons.

I'd feel wrong basing it too closely on real Christianity (for various reasons that are off-topic here), but I'll give it a try!

Righteous fire, Tenshin Red!
Blessed wind, Tenshin Blue!
Holy light, Tenshin Yellow! / Heavenly light, Tenshin Yellow Archangel!
Sacred woods, Tenshin Green!
Rising shadow, Tenshin Black!
To save the world, we are... Tamashi Sentai Tenshinger!

The name means "Soul Team Angel-ger," but Yellow is the only actual angel. In an alternate Earth resembling a dark medieval fantasy, demons rampage across the land, gathering the energy of human suffering to make their king powerful enough to escape his prison in the underworld. Angels don't stop them because the angel council believes they're not supposed to interfere, but one angel decides he has to do something! Cast out from the heavens, he gathers a ragtag team of misfits on Earth and shares his power with them (in the form of toyetic artifacts, naturally) to become the Tamashi Sentai Tenshinger.

Tenshin Red is a brave but somewhat cynical knight, his mecha is a wyvern.
Tenshin Blue is a nervous but determined priestess, her mecha is a giant eagle.
Tenshin Yellow is an idealistic but sometimes naive angel, his mecha is a knight.
Tenshin Green is a friendly but eccentric forest hermit, his mecha is a stone troll.
Tenshin Black is a snarky demon seeking redemption, her mecha is a hellhound.

I want to make more designs for these rangers but I'm not sure what to do next. Which of these options would y'all be most eager to see:

1) more red rangers for the teams I haven't gotten to yet
2) full teams for the red rangers I've already done
3) civilian forms for the red rangers I've already done

I'm also always open to more color selections ^_^

[Sh Ranger]

The second option.

[FairyKing]

The passionate maple ninja, Meisai Red!
The upbeat cherry ninja, Meisai Pink!
The steadfast pine ninja, Meisai Green!
The elegant birch ninja, Meisai White!
The noble wisteria ninja, Meisai Violet!
Hidden guardians of the forest, Hayashi Sentai Meisaiger!

The visors are based on their tree leaves, although some came out looking clearer than others, and I included a cherry blossom on Pink because that's too iconic a symbol to leave out. Green was especially tricky because I'd already used a green accent color, so I went with a more lime-ish shade to hopefully make it stand out more. And the kunai they're all holding are just a placeholder for now (making weapons would be a whole other project) but I imagine their weapon/changer being a kunai with a leaf motif, possibly one that normally has a simple blade but unfolds into a leaf shape when the pommel ring is pulled? Similarly, the symbol on their chest is meant to blend a kunai and a leaf. I figured using a kunai for their iconic weapon would help them stand out from the other ninja sentai's swords and shuriken.

"Wind power, Eco Green!
Thermal power, Eco Red!
Water power, Eco Blue!
Solar power, Eco Orange!
Bio power, Eco Black!
Chikara Sentai! Ecoger, let's go!" ("Ecoger, ikou!" for the pun)
"Nuclear power, Eco Gold! Clear to go!"
"Fossil power, Eco Killer! Going hunting!"

Chikara Sentai Ecoger means "Power Team Eco(logical)-ger" and the theme if it wasn't obvious is energy sources: Wind, geothermal, water, solar, biofuel, nuclear and fossil fuels. Protecting the environment is obviously a major message of the story.

The villains are the Dead Planet Army Kaosen (phonetic spelling of "chaos" + osen meaning "pollution"), invaders from another world trying to pollute the Earth to make it a more suitable home for their overlord, with monsters themed after various pollutants and other environmental hazards, or just common litter for their footsoldiers. To fight back, the spirit of the Earth herself chose five young adults with great potential - a proud soldier (first Red), a stern rescue pilot (Green), a flirty marine biologist (Blue), a cheerful astronaut cadet (Orange), and a semi-feral forest ranger (Black) - and bestowed them with the powers of clean energy, in the form of ranger suits, weapons and mecha, naturally.

Eco Gold is the normal sixth ranger, a brilliant scientist and friend of Orange who learned about the Ecoger's battle and supported them. After studying their powers enough, he developed his own ranger arsenal to fight alongside them. However, his nuclear power is dangerous if he loses control, and Earth refused to recognize him as the sixth Ecoger until he proved he could handle the responsibility. His aesthetic is more technological than the others.

Eco Killer is an evil ranger, the first Red after betraying the rest of the team when Kaosen promises him wealth and status in their polluted world. This is not a spoiler, the promise would be revealed to the audience in the second episode, though he'd keep up the ruse of working with the team for a while and even become their leader.
In the battle where he reveals his betrayal, a fire breaks out and a hotshot firefighter rushes to the scene and manages to seize the thermal powers from him. She becomes the second Eco Red, and Eco Green steps into the role of leader. This leaves the first Red de-powered for a time, until the Kaosen overlord personally grants him new power as Eco Killer. His aesthetic has a dinosaur bone motif and his shade of purple evokes oil.

My first thought for their mecha was vehicles powered by clean energy but now I'm thinking they could be more like elementals, changing into their giant forms similar to Magiranger. Green as a wind bird, Red as a magma golem, Blue as a water serpent, Orange as a sunlight wisp, Black as a tree ent, and Killer as an undead T-rex! Gold is the only one with a traditional mecha, a nuclear submarine. The five core members combine to form Eco Gaia, while Gold's submarine and Killer's T-rex both turn into robos on their own.

And yes, I realize I've just made the sentai version of Captain Planet
