Order placed and confirmed for Aba. First ever from Shout Factory. I had gotten the others on eBay.

Next for Five Man and Her Man in October.

Her Man?

Five Man was the 14th series.

I came up with a theory for upcoming releases

Detective Ranger and Magi are the final 2 series filmed in SD.

Both will be likely released on DVD.

If Blu Ray happens it will likely start with Bouken. Bouken was the first to be filmed in HD.

Samurai was the first Power Rangers series filmed in HD. Operation Overdrive - RPM had to square up the footage. No problems up to Mystic Force.

I've checked the release dates. The order was Zyruranger (2/17/15) through Timeranger (7/31/18), Jetman (9/25/18), Gaoranger (12/18/18), Hurricaneger (3/26/19), Fiveman (9/6/22), Abaranger (11/8/22). All dates taken from Shout's website. The pattern (if there is one) is two forward, one back, not alternating. Dekaranger would be next followed by Tubroranger and then Magiranger. Note that I said "if there is a pattern" because we've only had one full cycle so far to work with and it can change at any time.

Yeah, I know what Fiveman is and I've become pretty used to your eclectic approach to translating the show names. I still have no idea what Her Man is supposed to refer to.

He's talking about her man. Like...some unspecified person's husband. Apparently, he thinks he will likely release in October. Maybe they're getting a divorce?

That's the best I can come up with. My other thought was Hurricaneger, but that came out a few years ago.

So there's actually a reason for Mebius, Dyna, Tiga, and 80 only being on DVD?

Well the thing is if a series is made in SD Shout Factory may likely just release DVD only. It would depend if the series was filmed in HD.

I figured they might continue the trend of going backwards till the first series while moving forward with Power Rangers Era releases in order. Alternating between the two. I was thinking Turbo Ranger (#13) might be next. (Not Car Ranger or Power Rangers Turbo) then Deka (#28)

Hurri (#26) was the last one released by Shout Factory.

I hope they don't wait 3 years to release Deka.

It's a decent theory. Or, at least, the best we've got. I'd rather watch these shows in HD, though, even if it's just an upscale.

Yeah, they seem to be alternating and I expect them to continue that trend.

Dekaranger is the next series after Abaranger, so if we go by Blade Raider's pattern, it's likely the next one to get a release (if they continue).

Me. I'm her man. Unless she's been cheating on me.

Also, to the people who have been keeping track of patterns, when would Gekiranger's potential release be?

Your guess is as good as anyone's. There was a three-year gap between Hurricaneger and Abaranger. Before that it was about one set every three months, though, so if that's back into effect then maybe next November, assuming they don't slip any other retro seasons in there.
