Sure, nowadays we have access to 'actual' Sentai shows (which doesn't mean anything, because Sentai is a genre of tokusatsu, whereas Super Sentai is owned by Toei), but in 2001, 'actual' Sentai VHS tapes were hard to find. |

I've seen remarks which even frame Ultraman as a "Sentai Hero" and the only thing I can surmise is that "Sentai" has become a catch-all for "Tokusatsu Superheroes". If so, how did this all happen!? Did Power Rangers put so much increased focus on the term "Sentai" that any Toku Hero is a "Sentai Hero" regardless of franchise or who owns what? |

Not really. Rescue Fire is a firefighting team with combat skills (and not even Toei) while Solbrain is categorized as Rescue Police within the Metal Hero series.

I'm not sure Toei has patented this term. Yes, in principle, if we go to the original meaning, which comes from imperial Japan, then sentai refers specifically to military formations. And then not even all Super Sentai are real Sentai. In principle, due to the vagueness of the term, we are talking about it now.

I don't know, I feel like the term is pretty set in what it is. I feel like people are only making it vague to bring about needless discussion.
Like guys we don't really need to get that pedantic about this. |
