In the case of Kakuranger, it could be an attempt at playing it both ways cause Power Rangers was already popular and they may have been taking that into consideration with God Kark (Crane Ninjazord), and the primary consideration for this hypothesis is the working theory that Zyu2 footage was being filmed almost simultaneously with Kakuranger (Zaigan of Super Sentai World uses the same Sword of Power prop used by RoboGoat, Primator is monkey-themed like God Sauder [Ape Ninjazord] and uses a functionally-similar dual-blade sword-staff weapon).

Kakuranger didn't have a pink ranger and the white ranger's mech was solidly white.

I'm talking about seasons that gave the PINK ranger a mostly-white mech while the other ranger's mechs were their actual colors. Turboranger, Carranger, Gingaman, GoGoFive, Boukenger, Shinkenger, Goseiger and Gokaiger all did this.

White Kark and Battle Kark were mostly white. God Kark had a pinkish neck, which is why they associated it with Kim and Kat in Mighty Morphin'. It takes the theory of predominantly white Pink Ranger Mecha and reverses it to accomplish something similar.

So not too long ago the Gozyuger opening theme charted no.1 after its release for a few days apparently in Japan.
Anybody know more about this?

edit: nevermind please ignore/delete this!

So, does anyone know/have any idea why Tac in Timerangers is an owl? With the whole motivе of time, clock and hands motif, a cuckoo seems like a much more appropriate bird.

Beats me, maybe they were inspired by owl-shaped clocks? Aside from being a symbol of wisdom or something negative (like end times or impending death) depending on the culture, the owl as a symbol of vigilance could be a reason but I think the inspired by owl clocks seems likely.

Yes, more likely.

I know that Gozyuger has a ton of references to past Super Sentai series and even MMPR. Am I right that the costume the Gozyugers wear when they are piloting Tegasword is supposed to intentionally look like the White Ranger/KibaRanger or am I just seeing things?
