I guess clarification makes it clear that Super Sentai is officially done and is not affiliated with Project R.E.D.

My take on this is Toei is likely putting the brand on ice to let Hasbro either succeed or fail with their Power Rangers reboot before deciding to do anything again with Sentai. If the reboot succeeds then Project R.E.D. will serve as a competitor to Power Rangers. If it fails then Toei can scoop up the Power Rangers IP for cheap and resume Sentai and Power Rangers under a single umbrella.

An interesting consensus, and one that might have been unconscionable in years past. But these are interesting times, and it would provide Toei greater control and "IP Control" seems to be the name of the game in this day and age all across the board to maximize profit. They're probably still a little hot from the Heritage Auctions, which was met with mixed results amongst the fandom. We once thought that Power Rangers and Sentai would never stream in the same location, but look at where we're at with that one.
