If this really is a rebranding, then it would make sense. But if this really is the end of Super Sentai (barring a possible revival in the future ala Kuuga), well, at least we got the masterpiece that was Mirai Sentai Timeranger.

your speculations are no reason to think!

Errr... yes? I don't believe we have a source or context yet. I never said the rumour doesnt exist.

My bad, I jumped the gun there. Apologies.

What's with the confrontational attitude? All I said boils down to 'if it ends, that's that, but if it doesn't, then we had a nice run.'

Maybe take a chill pill and touch some grass?

I had forgotten about the whole "Toei is working on a new tokusatsu series" rumor. I certainly think it is related to whatever is happening with Sentai at the very least, but am struggling to find the source where the new series was brought up. Does anyone have a link?

Yeah, we'll find out soon enough. So far, we do have some consistent rumors with keywords being cards, magic and monster hunting. Considering how Toei are filming 6 months in advance now, I think we would've heard about a lack of new Sentai much sooner if nothing was happening. I'm more inclined to believe the implication that a new Sentai-like show is in the works, just not a Super Sentai. So this news, as it stands, is not yet enough to make me feel depressed. Like Alata says, I feel like it'll work out somehow.

Tbh I get why some people would freak out over all the responses in this thread. If only because like, idk, I feel like 90% of people deciding to have a premature eulogy for a franchise just because a website said "this is totally happening" in the most vague terms possible is kind of weird and should be questioned.

Anyway, as much as people would wave off Rangerboard, they've consistently shown that they are connected to people who give out real rumors and leaks. Especially when it comes to giving us details on things way before they happen. So I'm willing to hedge my bets on the rumors that state we're getting some kind of weird magic show that's very much sentai related but likely tying into a rebrand because it's going to be named differently than prior. Especially since it's from people who have had a good track record as well.

That's also not to mention interviews where we've had people from Toei already mention wanting to do a name change in regards to how Sentai is titled.

A crazy theory: the upcoming rebranding will be a continuation/reimagining of JAKQ. It's no coincidence that the card-based cyborgs don't have the word "sentai" in their name. And the possible smaller number of episodes will then be less noticeable in the upcoming new franchise.

I mean, I'd argue the doom and gloom comes from somewhere a bit deeper than simply a website vaugeposting, when the most common phrase amongst said comments are "Unexpected but not surprised".

That said, assuming this is just Toei rebranding Sentai for their International effort. (Which btw I did look around, here's the thread:

Then yeah, me trying to say my peace on the show is gonna age hilariously poorly.

Wait, now this is news to me, when did that happen?
