For context, Super Sentai is the original franchise which Power Rangers adapts, from the 16th Sentai team and mostly onwards. A good majority of the action scenes in PR are taken from the original series which are licensed along with the costumes to produce PR, with the licensing for adapting a Sentai occurring some time after a it’s series has finished its tv airing in Japan. Although the suits are the same, in most cases PR has it’s own plot different to the Sentai it’ll adapt.
I never would've expected you to do something like this! So awesome! Many people don't actually know that the American Power Rangers derives from the much longer running Japanese Super Sentai. Super Sentai is really incredible. I know it might seem a bit corny when you're watching these henshins... but the shows themselves can get very emotional and even pretty dark at times. You'd be genuinely surprised how entertaining they are! Thanks for doing this one. :)
Fun fact: Ryusoulger theme is a knighthood theme. Kakuranger’s(aka not alien ranger)leader is white ninja who is also the first female leader in super sentai
WELCOME TO THE TOKUSATSU RABBIT HOLE! The ladies of super sentai have evolved with Japanese trends and sensibilities, but have always emphasized feminine strength. Always somewhat glamorous and very skilled, some more traditional with others most tomboyish, but always invaluable to the defense of our "BLUE PLANET EARTH". Also, STAN LEE actually tried to bring the franchise to America back in the early 80s!
Stan Lee is partly responsible for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Marvel put money into the 3 Sentai after the Japanese 'Supaidaman' which gave them the option to adapt it. Marvel TV, under Margaret Loesch, tried to dub Sun Vulcan in 1984? & it didn't sell. Haim Saban tried to adapt Bioman in the late 1980s and ended up selling it to Fox Kids, under the Executive Margaret Loesch - who wanted the light hearted live show to balance the dramatic X-men cartoon.
18:28 Lol I keep commenting cause the context is always fascinating. The Kiramagers created a special stone that can do the bare minimum of tasks on the battlefield of any one member at a time. This was handy for when a member was unavailable. The stone was great in a pinch but never perfectly replaced the real thing. This is why there were two Greens on screen here and why the others looking on were wondering if Sena was the real one or not cause there was a slight mix up over the course of this episode.
we appreciate the commenting and helping us understand this more. It's always nice when a community is so inviting to new people and wants to share knowledge to help educate the uninitiated. 😀😊🥳🤗
I reallylike how Kirameger handle the unavailable memeber. I mean 4 of them have professional job that impossible to just drop everything and run off. Pink is prodigy surgeon, she constantly need to operate. Blue is famous actor always need on set. And Green is track elite athletes. Red is a high school student. And last one is esports gamer.
Speaking of toys, there are also difference in the sizes of the original Japanese version and American version of it. Japanese toys are close to 1:1 sizes it means that the actual toys are close to those that appears on the tv while the American versions are more smaller and most of it doesn't have effects or noises that are heard on the TVs Like in the Kyouryuuger, their sword's dinosaur mouth actually opens and you can put the Jyuden (the battery like thing that they insert to transform [it also 1:1 and you can push the button to change the colors of the dinosaur]) in it and when you closes the mouth, you can hear "gaburicho!".
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 It can't be helped that most people didn't know about it, only who have delved deep into the fanbase have a knowledge of it. The only available in America is the American version of the toy in most general toy stores like Toys 'R Us. You can only buy the Japan version in Japan, order online, or in a store that sells Japanese products, goods, or toys. You can also see the difference when you have the actual product then compare it to the videos which have a review of the original Japan version of the toy you currently have. There might be also some photos or pics in the net for the said comparison. Also, while America sells masks to role play the rangers, in Japan, they also sell the actual outfit of a specific character used in their civilian forms. This is really good when you want to cosplay the characters in their civilian forms and attempt to mimic their transform scene or the ending dance sequence of a specific series either in solo or in a group~ In the other 'sibling' tokusatsu, Kamen Riders (Why 'sibling'? Because not only they have the same creator, Kamen Rider is the older one than SS [Super Sentai]) have toys that have different versions of a specific transformation device as a toy (such as deluxe, legend and CSM are just some toy version of the belt/buckle/driver of a KR series [belt/buckle is the actual form and term for the transformation device in Heisei (2000-2009) KR series while drivers is the term used for the belt/buckles starting from the Post Heisei (2009) up until this year/Reiwa era)
8:26 Super Sentai has done a dinosaur theme 4 times (cause it is wildly popular and around the forth time they did it, the franchise was in a ratings slump). Zyuranger (4:39) (recognize the costume? That's Mighty Morphin'), Abaranger (8:16), Kyoryuger (13:32) and Ryusoulger (17:50).
Oh no, you just jumped on the Tokusatsu rabbit hole. As much as I want to see more reactions from you guys to this genre especially towards Kamen Rider, I should probably warn you that there might be more people in the future that will send requests for you to watch more of it. I watched few channels getting more request about it and almost nothing else that their own channel almost turned into a Tokusatsu based channel. I'm not saying that you should stop reacting but if we, the fans, overwhelm you with requests and want to continue on having a diverse reaction channel, just say a word. Reacting sometimes or few on it would be enough. Just continue on what you think is good for this channel. Anyways, love the reaction and hope to see more!
Appreciate that so much. Not everyone gets that. Our other reaction channel for games almost turned into a Mortal Kombat channel early on but we had to fight the temptation to only feature those videos even though they were the most popular. We like having an eclectic mix on the channel. 😊🤗
Don't know if it was mentioned, but there is a lore reason why they are dancing around the 14:00 mark, they are powered by the melody of the earth, the jingle you hear and their body automatically starts to dance to it :D and the bad guys have their own very creepy melody too btw :)
Welcome to the World of Super Sentai! This franchise created in Japan is turning 45 this year (so you can get an idea of how old this franchise is)! I'm Brazilian and I was able to watch four series of this franchise on television (Goggle V, Changeman, Flashman and Maskman) when I was a boy.
As for the "3-3-5" code you were joking about a bit (lol) each Sentai team gets organized by a different entity or event in canon every year. So I.N.E.T. developed the Digitizers to use that 3-3-5 code for the transformation. Zyuohger (15:57) merely saw the Rangers input their respective roll call numeral into their cube shaped cell phone (Zyuoh-changer) as the first part of the transformation. Finally, the LupinRangers (17:19) (one half of that season's Rangers) would each have a different combination they would spin the dial on their Dial Fighters to in order to transform (0-1-0 for Red, 2-6-0 for Blue and 1-1-6 for Yellow).
Omg how did I not know you guys reacted to Super Sentai! One of my favorite Japanese shows, Lupinranger vs Patranger has to be my favorite sentai! If you guys want a quick overview of each Sentai series (Up until 2016) you should check out the “Super Hero Getter 2016 version”. It was the ending theme they put for the 40th Sentai series that did a fast roll call of each series’ motifs
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 absolutely! I also just found out that there is a 2021 version now but nobody has uploaded any English subbed videos of it on TH-cam which is unfortunate
The TL:DR history lesson. Sentai ran for two seasons. It was created by someone who made a bunch of Japanese Superheroes. Shotaro Ishinomori. In the second season, JAKQ wasn't doing so well. Around the same time, Marvel was trying to bring American superheroes to Japan. They had a Spider-Man series. It was going to be very accurate to the comics. Then Gundam became super popular and they were like. GIVE SPIDER MAN A GIANT ROBOT!!! So they did. It was amazing and when asked what else they could do with Marvel Properties and Giant robots they were already working on an Avengers show which was very similar to the Sentai show that was about to be canceled. Toei decided to give it one more chance. Turning it into Super Sentai and using the plans they had for the Avengers show... with a giant robot. (That's the show with the Miss America clips). Marvel worked with toei for a few more years. Around the same time, Stan Lee actually saw big chunks of Sentai and thought it would do amazing in the west. He marketed it to everyone he talked to throughout the 80s. Around the same time, Haim Saban stayed in Japan selling toys and watched a little Sentai as well and knew what to do. He actually made a pilot episode and marketed it as well. Was told it wouldn't work. Until he talked to the head of Fox Kids who worked with Stan Lee in the early 80s. She basically went. Two guys have pushed this show around, I have to make it happen. Thus we got Power Rangers. If you're into this sort of thing. I recommend watching some Kamen Rider clips. It's Super Sentai's sister show (also created by Ishinomori). They've shared the same hour time slot for the last 22 years now in a block called SUPERHERO TIME. Kamen Rider is darker and usually focuses on a singular hero without giant robots. Currently, Sentai is in their 45th year and Kamen Rider is in their 50th year.
Thanks for the quick rundown of the history of this! We loved the “Give Spider-Man a giant robot” 😂 it’s like, how come no one thought of that til then 😀🤩
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 The whole japanese spider-man show is a ride as well. Twenty or so episodes into production someone stole Marveller's (Giant Robot) Sword. Instead of spending a few yen in just making a new sword... they just kept reusing the shots of the robo doing it's finishing move with the sword. Toei ended up doing that for every Sentai robo since. Using dedicated finishing move scenes to save time.
One mistake there. The sentai that Saban saw was Bioman, which was many years after Battle Fever not, "around the same time." The rest of your facts are correct, as far as I know.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 Even better, the Japanese version of Spider-Man was introduced into Marvel comics as part of the Spider-Verse event and has been confirmed for the Spider-Verse movies, so you should be able to see the character in the movies soon!
This was awesome. And yes, Power Rangers came from Japan in 1975. Right now, they are celebrating their 45th anniversary in Japan right now. Well I can't wait to see more videos.
And now for an interesting bit of trivia... As you saw in some of the show compilations, there would be two different girls transforming into the same suit. One of the biggest reasons story-wise is that either the first heroine leaves to go pursue other ventures, or, in the case of Bioman, gets killed off.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 Of course. If you really want to go down the tokusatsu rabbit hole, you should do a reaction to a transformation pose compilation from the Kamen Rider series! :D
You might've learned this since this video but you wouldn't recognize the pink from the Sentai after Zyuranger or her teammates because the only thing that we adapted into Power Rangers from Gosei Sentai Dairanger was their 6th ranger Kibaranger (who, incidentally is a really perverted kid in Dairanger while the white ranger was simply a replacement for the green ranger powers)
In Maskman, they tested the idea of having a 6th ranger. They were called "X1 Mask". But, just like the one in its name, they only appeared in a single episode.
The dino buckler change was the first japanese show which we started for the power rangers. We used the monster segments in ours and hired american actors for reshoots for here.
You guys should check out the 6th ranger transformation comparisons by Shan Tokusatsu. The video compares the original japanese to the Power rangers adaptation, and it's pretty interesting to see two different takes on the same base characters
Super sentai: it started form 1975 Power Rangers started in 1993 also most power rangers series are a year after or 2 years after the super sentai series had ended [Gosh Dang!!!!]
Huge sentai fan enjoyed this video i have seen about 18 sentais including megaranger,gingaman,gorenger from 1975,car ranger,hidden ranger,ohRanger,fiveman,turbo ranger,jetman,zyuranger,bioman,great ranger,gogofive,timeranger,gaoranger,hurricaneger and liveman,deka ranger cool you guys are watching sentais regozined a lot of these sentais most of these sentais i haven’t seen yet 🍿
I know this video is a few months old but damn it would be SICK if you also did kamen rider henshin ((i know you'd probally have the same issue with copyright)) but the kamen rider henshin are really sick!
super sentai was started in 1975 our version started in 1993 mighty morphin which was super sentai version called zyuranger they had to do alot of changes like zyuranger the yellow ranger was a guy and our version it was a woman another example was wild force / gaoranger yellow ranger
Super Sentai came first then Power Rangers which was adapted from the 15th or 16th season of Sentai called Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger (Dinosaur Squadron Beast Ranger) which became Might Morphin Power Rangers.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 it started in 1975 with gorenger not a fan of power rangers i hated them since 1993 i only saw the pilot episode of mmpr and hated it my substitute teacher had drawings of witch bandora and grifforzar and information on zyuranger that is how i knew they used stock footage from zyuranger📀
Was NOT expecting a toku reaction lol. Probably not the first to comment this in this video but a Kamen Rider henshin(transformation) reaction would be awesome!
It was a long awaited requested video. It's fun to step outside our normal reactions or stuff we are drawn to and catch some different stuff. Already have a ton of requests for other videos in the genre. 🙂
The original Red Ranger had a sword 😅 and yeah you were like 17 years into the power ranger ones when you were saying "I dont think we have power rangers yet" 🤣 It's so cool to see newcomers discover this stuff. Maybe check out a power ranger morph compilation to see the differences between the two shows? Some are the same or similar some are totally different.
haha, whoops! 😂 Clearly we don't have a strong grasp on this franchise haha. But it was fun to check out and we have plenty of suggestions for more videos in this genre 😊
The one where they handed her the sword... she was the true boss ranger of that crew in that season. She had been unable to go but by her bloodline she was the heir to be the leader, the Lord of the 'family' of rangers. That's why she was Red Ranger and she had servants at her every whim.
Well, at first, I didn't want to watch super sentai just because it's a totally unknown language and from a really different country. But I decided to give it a try and that's the best decision I made in the whole lockdown. It's really enjoyable and can give you anime vibes outside anime done by real humans. I LOVE SUPER SENTAI!!
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 i would recommend gorenger from 1975 dragon ranger burai he is geki’s brother from zyuranger i don’t know what you are guys are talking about I am confused 🤖
So, typically with a lot of fans of Power Rangers, as they would get older, they started to move more towards Super Sentai. I'm not speaking for everyone, but when I was younger, I mainly watched Power Rangers because of the fight scenes and the action. But, as I grew older, I began to have a better understanding of story and plot and, while a LOT of Power Rangers seasons (examples being RPM, Jungle Fury, and SPD to name a few) have really good stories, at the time that I began getting older and having better story comprehension was when seasons like Samurai and Megaforce began airing, both of which are seasons that dont have the greatest plots. Sure, they still have the spectacle, but they dont have the character drives that kept me engaged with the story, rather than being like "haha, explosion go boom". So, I turned to Super Sentai. It had the same fight scenes and visuals, but each season also managed to tell their own very gripping and entertaining stories, and had their own great characters (save for some that we dont really talk about in the community). And the most exciting part was that every season was a fresh start. They all felt wildly different from each other while still keeping those core themes that every Sentai season has. On the other hand, Power Rangers (At least from 2011 to 2018) all kind of had the same vibe, especially since they began splitting each season that would typically be 40 episodes into 2 20 episode long seasons, so we would have the same cast for 2 years in a row. But they all had a diverse cast of 20 somethings that all felt kind of bland, with the exception of the season that aired in 2015, even though the second half of that season kind of lost the charm of some of those characters. Sorry, got off topic there. But with Super Sentai, you never really know what you're going to get between seasons. The best example of this, in my opinion, is the season that aired in 2016, 2017, and 2018, those being "Zyuohger" (15:57 - 16:28), "Kyuranger" (16:29 - 17:17), and "Lupinranger VS Patoranger" (17:18 - 17:50) respectively. In Zyuohger, the series started with bipedal animals from another dimension crossing over into our dimension to help try and protect the planet from a giant intergalactic gambling ring. While it's strange, it's nothing too out of the ordinary. But then, the next season, in Kyuranger, the entire universe has already been enslaved by the bad guys, and we follow a rag-tag group of resistance fighters trying to free the universe from this oppressive regime. Already a HUGE difference. And then, the next season, Lupinranger vs Patoranger, we get a cops and robbers season with one team trying to steal back some old guy's knick-knacks from interdimensional gangsters, while the police try to arrest them. 3 seasons, aired right after each other, each with wildly different tones. Meanwhile, with Power Rangers, for almost 8 years, we got "attractive 20-somethings fight the bad guys and learn about teamwork and friendship BUY OUR TOYS. Also, the red rangers is looking for his Dad." I'm not kidding. For 2 seasons in a row, we had the red ranger trying to find his dad. 2 **different** seasons, mind you. And yet, I still cant help but lean towards Power Rangers as being my preferred show. At least in general. There are seasons of Sentai I would watch over Power Rangers, but because I'm much more familiar with Power Rangers than Sentai, I cant help but have fonder memories with it. I've enjoyed Sentai for almost a decade now, but I've been watching Power Rangers since I was 4. It's the series I'm more familiar with, so I have more of a preference towards it, and when i watch the Sentai season one of my favorite Power Rangers seasons is based on, it doesnt hit right, because I'm more used to the Power Rangers version. I think this goes in line with your "Psychology of the first impression" argument. An example of this would be "Gekiranger" (9:56 - 10:31) and its American adaptation, "Power Rangers Jungle Fury". I grew up with Jungle Fury, and I would probably say it is my favorite season of Power Rangers, so when I tried watching Gekiranger, even though it's a good season in it's own right, it definitely felt like it wasnt right because I was seeing these suits I was familiar with, but it wasnt the characters I was used to. It wasnt done the same way, similar to your example with the Phantom of the Opera. It's the same steak, but cooked differently. Some people like it Medium-Rare, some like it Medium-Well. ...I dont exactly know where I'm going with this comment, its literally 5:30 in the morning as I write this and I havent slept. I hope you can glean SOMETHING from my comment, because, honestly...I sure as hell cant. Also, as a random request, check out a video of all Super Sentai opening themes. They're all different and amazing in their own rights. Though I'm not sure if that would be a copyright issue, since it would most likely be roughly 45 minutes of music.
Appreciate you going into this and explaining your perspective on each series and why you like on over the other and how that can change as we change. Hope you were eventually able to get to sleep 🤗🙂
If you want to do a follow up to this, the Gokaiger season has the pirates (main characters) henshining into previous versions of Rangers teams to use their powers and weapons, with gender swaps for the yellow rangers who were actually guys in the original Super Sentai and the blue rangers who were women in the originals.
Now that you guys have seen part of the henshin and roll calls, maybe a video of the full teams' next. Especially because this video was acfually missing the newest one
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers first aired in 1993 & Power Rangers is still on going to this day. There were Power Rangers movies in the 90's and in 2017, there was another Power Rangers film, which was a reboot.
You should read up on the show you are reacting too, Super Sentai is the OG show dating back to 1975, Power Rangers is a clone of it, using footage from Sentai, made for US Market
Most of them are power rangers-like because super sentai is where power rangers gets all of their footage and suits. For the most part, it’s all adaptation of super sentai. Actually, all of the ones that you said are “starting to look like” Power rangers, they wer power rangers from years and years ago! Lol
Oh gee..that was something ^^ Super cheezy but i love it. The Sentai concept goes way back into the 70's. Sentai simpley means "Task Force" and started in 1972 with Kagaku Ninja-Tai Gatchaman Anime. So even the legendary Power Rangers were not "new" at there time. But still awesome. And with new information about some stuff, the lore is kinda dark and serious, also the 2016 reboot movie about them, was really good. Was a giant product placement for some specific dounats but who cares :P Now i really like to see you watching all the Megazords from this era. All Megazord Transformations Part 1 - 5 by Bradley Stephanson. ^^ Thank you. There are a few new comics about the classic Power Rangers from the 90's.. Story about Rita, who was once good and now frustraded and evil, cause "Good Magic" could not save her mother so dark magic was way cooler. Tommy Oliver aka the Green Ranger (later White also Golden in the TV Series) fused with the White Ranger from an alternative future, were the Rangers lost and Earth is ruled by him and Rita.. pretty dark) I like to be the green Ranger too :O Dang. The Dragonzord was so awesome ^^ Thanks Beth. Sister in mind.
That comic actually sounds pretty cool with the concept. Also have heard others say that when you really get into the Super Sentai stories, some of them are quite dark despite the appearance, and as you put it, "super cheezy". Find that interesting. 🤔🙂
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 I always say that with a smile on my face, when you see something ridiciouls but having fun with it anyway. They know it is stupid, but the japanse celebrationg this. Embrace it. And thats always the best spirit. Sure these stories can be really dark sometimes, cause thats what life is. If we lived in a perfect enlightened world, we would never have developed the stories of superheroes.
in The japanese Serie ZyuRanger, Bandora (Rita) turnt from good to Bad , because here son kai Died. So she is more of an Dracig charakter than a pure evil.
This vid was in my recommended. Hadnt seen your channel before. From your uploaded vids, this seems completely different. (Comment written before watching)
After watching. Yea, power rangers is based off of super sentai. Kamen rider and Ultraman are also other series of this same genre. Tokusatsu is how we refer to this genre. Also, power rangers never went away. You just stopped paying attention to it. this year, ultraman is celebrating their 55th aniv., kamen rider their 50th, and super sentai their 45th. Power rangers (not sure the exact year but its inching up to its 30th)
Welcome! Yes this is new to us. We take recommendations from the community on what to watch which opens us up to different franchises and genres that we are unfamiliar with. Broadening our horizons if you will. If you like fun times and eclectic mix of reactions and videos then we hope you check out more of our videos 😊🤗😇🥳
In the 80’s Stan Lee wanted to bring the Siper Sentai to USA but no studio cared or wanted to. Even when Saban wanted to he tried for 8 years and nothing until the one in charged of what became Fox Kids put her job in the line
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 Both openings can also react to their transformations. Or as they would say in Japanese "henshin" and rollcall, they are worth thank you for their videos
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 here's all the Main Rider Henshin and Female Rider Henshin feel free to watch if you guys had time !!! th-cam.com/video/ghiRQ7HB_CQ/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/c-Pq5x5qtxI/w-d-xo.html
I recommend that you react to all Super Sentai Openings, Actually, here’s a link to a video that has all of them within it, just for simplicity’s sake: th-cam.com/video/Rrt3JkuPM4c/w-d-xo.html
If you haven't already I highly recommend trying to find the entirety of Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger (translated as Unofficial Squadron Akibaranger). It's insane in a fun way. It's an unofficial series made by Toei (yeah, try wrapping your head around an unofficial series being made by the company that makes Super Sentai officially) about a trio of people from Akibara, basically Japan's headquarters for all things weeb and similar. The show is basically a giant fourth wall break and pokes fun at all the tropes found in the Sentai series. But the real kicker? The Akibarangers aren't even really fighting, it's all in an imaginary world, meaning from the real world's point of view they look like a bunch of insane people being weird in public. In summary, if you want a Super Sentai series that doesn't take itself too seriously and cranks the satire dial up to a thousand, Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger is for you
Oh boy, do you have any further plans to go down the tokusatsu rabbit hole? Because that's a hole that goes deep, and has been known to consume reaction channels - people just love to keep requesting so many videos once you start. This is a weird video to start with, though. I would definitely recommend checking out a compilation of all the openings. There are a bunch of them out there, but this is the only one I know of which is up to date with the opening from the latest series, which just started and is only a few episodes in: th-cam.com/video/MmZaGlrfbTA/w-d-xo.html There are also comparison videos that have the both the Sentai and Power Rangers openings, but those don't have all the Sentai openings so you wouldn't see the complete history (they don't have the ones before PR or some of the more recent ones that haven't been adapted). I'd also recommend a compilation of all the henshin sequences from across the series, not just the girls', but I don't know which one's the best or if there are any that are up to date. 5:24 Close, that was the ones they used for the first PR sequel series, which was the first time they changed the costumes. 7:28 Indeed, she's actually the leader of the team (though not the protagonist). 8:26 They were, but there have been four dinosaur-based series so far. It's one of the iconic gimmicks they like to reuse, mainly because apparently they always sell well. 10:44 Yeah, I mean, that's the point. These series are merchandising juggernauts, and everything is designed with that in mind. That's how they make their money they're able to afford to keep making so much of them for so long. Toy sales are actually a bigger factor in whether a series is considered successful than TV ratings. Actually, what I heard is that different toys are more popular in Japan and America. In America, what sells most is the action figures, so Power Rangers frequently adds additional power ups and special forms for the heroes that aren't in the original series. In Japan, what sells most is the "roleplay gear" - the transformation devices, weapons, and other gadgets - so Super Sentai puts a lot more emphasis on devices with different functionalities that make voice lines and catchy musical jingles that they make show-accurate toys out of, and more recently they often have lines of collectible devices that can be plugged into them to do various things - in this video alone you can see they've used power cells (10:37), cards (12:19), batteries (13:31), shuriken (15:21), orbs (16:30), and figurines (17:54). 11:37 It was a big deal in Japan, as well. Coincidentally, the series that became the first season of MMPR was the first to have a proper "Sixth Ranger", but not only did he start off evil like in the American version, but instead of becoming the new leader after he turned good, he died near the end. There was allegedly a big letter-writing campaign demanding they bring him back. Both versions' characters leaving such a big impression was probably why having additional Rangers became a recurring thing. Later series have actually had more than the usual six members (probably, again, for merchandising reasons) - Kyoryuger, the third dinosaur one with the guns and the dancing, had 10 members by the end, and Kyuranger, the one with the robot girl with the wings, had the most permanent members with 12. 13:22 That was actually a deliberate reference to the American series. 14:34 Funny you should say that, that old guy you pointed out is actually the main character's dad. 16:22 They ARE supposed to be like Rubix cubes. The colour scheme of the team is actually supposed to be the five colours you usually find on Rubix cubes.
Thanks for the time stamped info and answering our questions from this. This video had been requested for awhile from a regular on the channel. And we did have a lot of requests to do more. Has a lot of copyright issue unfortunately but we may end up getting back to it 😇
Our pleasure, Tommy! Thanks for recommending it and always being patient and saying please and thank you when asking for the video for the past several months. We really appreciated it. 😊🤗
As for the context behind Super Sentai I am sure enough people already told you. But if want a nice sentai series to jump into i say ether the 35th series that's was an anniversary series is the pirate themed sentai Gokaigers or the series that came after it Go-Busters. Or you can keep up with the current series Avataro Sentai Don Brothers (the 46th series)
I remember after discovering Super Sentai, I watched the first episode of Changeman. Holy hell! That was one dark first episode! Also, yes, check out Kamen Rider transformations. And Ultraman.
So Super Sentai is the beginning of Power Rangers it started off in 1975 power rangers gets its concepts and suits from Super Sentai and they use their footage as well
At least it was white swan and blue swallow cause white swallow probably wouldn't have gone down as well LOL. I remember a lot of these costumes from when they came over to America as power rangers. Loved the power rangers
If you havent yet you should look into the transformations of super sentais sister show kamen rider, or even the ultrman heroes....they are all tokusatsu whoch is basically live action super hero shows
For context, Super Sentai is the original franchise which Power Rangers adapts, from the 16th Sentai team and mostly onwards. A good majority of the action scenes in PR are taken from the original series which are licensed along with the costumes to produce PR, with the licensing for adapting a Sentai occurring some time after a it’s series has finished its tv airing in Japan. Although the suits are the same, in most cases PR has it’s own plot different to the Sentai it’ll adapt.
Thanks for the context! 😀
I never would've expected you to do something like this! So awesome! Many people don't actually know that the American Power Rangers derives from the much longer running Japanese Super Sentai. Super Sentai is really incredible. I know it might seem a bit corny when you're watching these henshins... but the shows themselves can get very emotional and even pretty dark at times. You'd be genuinely surprised how entertaining they are! Thanks for doing this one. :)
Our pleasure! We were one of those people who had know idea the American Power Rangers was an adaptation of something that went back so far 😀🤩
And you should visit Super Sentai older brother, Kamen rider. They're basically karate bugman with very drama and darker theme.

WELCOME TO THE TOKUSATSU RABBIT HOLE!
The ladies of super sentai have evolved with Japanese trends and sensibilities, but have always emphasized feminine strength. Always somewhat glamorous and very skilled, some more traditional with others most tomboyish, but always invaluable to the defense of our "BLUE PLANET EARTH". Also, STAN LEE actually tried to bring the franchise to America back in the early 80s!
Did not know that about Stan Lee 😀 but not surprised ☺️
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 And if memory serves me right, he proposed Sun Vulcan, the 5th Sentai team.
Stan Lee is partly responsible for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
Marvel put money into the 3 Sentai after the Japanese 'Supaidaman' which gave them the option to adapt it. Marvel TV, under Margaret Loesch, tried to dub Sun Vulcan in 1984? & it didn't sell.
Haim Saban tried to adapt Bioman in the late 1980s and ended up selling it to Fox Kids, under the Executive Margaret Loesch - who wanted the light hearted live show to balance the dramatic X-men cartoon.
Stan Lee also tried to get dynamic in the states
If you were confused by the music in Deka pink and Yellow's henshin, those two specifically have their own "theme song" called "girls in trouble"
😎👍🙂
Glad a lot more people are getting into Super Sentai and Kamen Rider. Hope to see more :3
Just scratching the surface so far. Another franchise we were really unfamiliar with so it was cool checking out 🙂
18:28 Lol I keep commenting cause the context is always fascinating. The Kiramagers created a special stone that can do the bare minimum of tasks on the battlefield of any one member at a time. This was handy for when a member was unavailable. The stone was great in a pinch but never perfectly replaced the real thing. This is why there were two Greens on screen here and why the others looking on were wondering if Sena was the real one or not cause there was a slight mix up over the course of this episode.
we appreciate the commenting and helping us understand this more. It's always nice when a community is so inviting to new people and wants to share knowledge to help educate the uninitiated. 😀😊🥳🤗
I reallylike how Kirameger handle the unavailable memeber. I mean 4 of them have professional job that impossible to just drop everything and run off.
Pink is prodigy surgeon, she constantly need to operate.
Blue is famous actor always need on set.
And Green is track elite athletes.
Red is a high school student.
And last one is esports gamer.
See how 2 adults got happy they got when "Dino" was mentioned? And we the fandom wonders why Toei keeps making Dinosaur Sentai
Speaking of toys, there are also difference in the sizes of the original Japanese version and American version of it.
Japanese toys are close to 1:1 sizes it means that the actual toys are close to those that appears on the tv while the American versions are more smaller and most of it doesn't have effects or noises that are heard on the TVs
Like in the Kyouryuuger, their sword's dinosaur mouth actually opens and you can put the Jyuden (the battery like thing that they insert to transform [it also 1:1 and you can push the button to change the colors of the dinosaur]) in it and when you closes the mouth, you can hear "gaburicho!".
Hadn't realized that there was a difference in the toys as well 😯
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 It can't be helped that most people didn't know about it, only who have delved deep into the fanbase have a knowledge of it. The only available in America is the American version of the toy in most general toy stores like Toys 'R Us. You can only buy the Japan version in Japan, order online, or in a store that sells Japanese products, goods, or toys.
You can also see the difference when you have the actual product then compare it to the videos which have a review of the original Japan version of the toy you currently have. There might be also some photos or pics in the net for the said comparison.
Also, while America sells masks to role play the rangers, in Japan, they also sell the actual outfit of a specific character used in their civilian forms. This is really good when you want to cosplay the characters in their civilian forms and attempt to mimic their transform scene or the ending dance sequence of a specific series either in solo or in a group~
In the other 'sibling' tokusatsu, Kamen Riders (Why 'sibling'? Because not only they have the same creator, Kamen Rider is the older one than SS [Super Sentai]) have toys that have different versions of a specific transformation device as a toy (such as deluxe, legend and CSM are just some toy version of the belt/buckle/driver of a KR series [belt/buckle is the actual form and term for the transformation device in Heisei (2000-2009) KR series while drivers is the term used for the belt/buckles starting from the Post Heisei (2009) up until this year/Reiwa era)
In some footage in MMPR S2-S3, the toys were used for the Ultrazord combination.
8:26 Super Sentai has done a dinosaur theme 4 times (cause it is wildly popular and around the forth time they did it, the franchise was in a ratings slump). Zyuranger (4:39) (recognize the costume? That's Mighty Morphin'), Abaranger (8:16), Kyoryuger (13:32) and Ryusoulger (17:50).
Can't go wrong with dinosaurs and there is no shame in busting them out for ratings 😁
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 they also done Ninja 3 times and cars like 3 or 4 times??
Oh no, you just jumped on the Tokusatsu rabbit hole. As much as I want to see more reactions from you guys to this genre especially towards Kamen Rider, I should probably warn you that there might be more people in the future that will send requests for you to watch more of it. I watched few channels getting more request about it and almost nothing else that their own channel almost turned into a Tokusatsu based channel. I'm not saying that you should stop reacting but if we, the fans, overwhelm you with requests and want to continue on having a diverse reaction channel, just say a word. Reacting sometimes or few on it would be enough.
Just continue on what you think is good for this channel. Anyways, love the reaction and hope to see more!
Appreciate that so much. Not everyone gets that. Our other reaction channel for games almost turned into a Mortal Kombat channel early on but we had to fight the temptation to only feature those videos even though they were the most popular. We like having an eclectic mix on the channel. 😊🤗
Don't know if it was mentioned, but there is a lore reason why they are dancing around the 14:00 mark, they are powered by the melody of the earth, the jingle you hear and their body automatically starts to dance to it :D and the bad guys have their own very creepy melody too btw :)
That’s kinda fun 😀
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 Yeah, some of them are very suprised when they first transform and they don't understand what is happening :D
Welcome to the World of Super Sentai! This franchise created in Japan is turning 45 this year (so you can get an idea of how old this franchise is)! I'm Brazilian and I was able to watch four series of this franchise on television (Goggle V, Changeman, Flashman and Maskman) when I was a boy.
😎🤟
14:22 lmao
I love that the other guy doesn't join in with the dance
😂🤗
He only taps with his feet and on the gun, his melody is more of a rock tune compared to the main transformation music :D
14:04
That music... That dance..
Dude, it´s samba.. Brazil!!!
As for the "3-3-5" code you were joking about a bit (lol) each Sentai team gets organized by a different entity or event in canon every year. So I.N.E.T. developed the Digitizers to use that 3-3-5 code for the transformation. Zyuohger (15:57) merely saw the Rangers input their respective roll call numeral into their cube shaped cell phone (Zyuoh-changer) as the first part of the transformation. Finally, the LupinRangers (17:19) (one half of that season's Rangers) would each have a different combination they would spin the dial on their Dial Fighters to in order to transform (0-1-0 for Red, 2-6-0 for Blue and 1-1-6 for Yellow).
In addition the Lupinranger’s number combinations for their dial fighters each having a meaning that pertains to the respective dial fighter.
Thanks for explaining the codes better to us. 😊
Omg how did I not know you guys reacted to Super Sentai! One of my favorite Japanese shows, Lupinranger vs Patranger has to be my favorite sentai!
If you guys want a quick overview of each Sentai series (Up until 2016) you should check out the “Super Hero Getter 2016 version”. It was the ending theme they put for the 40th Sentai series that did a fast roll call of each series’ motifs
Thanks for the vid rec! 😀
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 absolutely! I also just found out that there is a 2021 version now but nobody has uploaded any English subbed videos of it on TH-cam which is unfortunate
12:45 right on here this season actually reached it's 10 year Anniversary this year !! 😁😁😁
😎🤟🥳
The TL:DR history lesson.
Sentai ran for two seasons. It was created by someone who made a bunch of Japanese Superheroes. Shotaro Ishinomori.
In the second season, JAKQ wasn't doing so well. Around the same time, Marvel was trying to bring American superheroes to Japan. They had a Spider-Man series. It was going to be very accurate to the comics. Then Gundam became super popular and they were like. GIVE SPIDER MAN A GIANT ROBOT!!! So they did. It was amazing and when asked what else they could do with Marvel Properties and Giant robots they were already working on an Avengers show which was very similar to the Sentai show that was about to be canceled. Toei decided to give it one more chance. Turning it into Super Sentai and using the plans they had for the Avengers show... with a giant robot. (That's the show with the Miss America clips). Marvel worked with toei for a few more years.
Around the same time, Stan Lee actually saw big chunks of Sentai and thought it would do amazing in the west. He marketed it to everyone he talked to throughout the 80s. Around the same time, Haim Saban stayed in Japan selling toys and watched a little Sentai as well and knew what to do. He actually made a pilot episode and marketed it as well. Was told it wouldn't work. Until he talked to the head of Fox Kids who worked with Stan Lee in the early 80s. She basically went. Two guys have pushed this show around, I have to make it happen. Thus we got Power Rangers.
If you're into this sort of thing. I recommend watching some Kamen Rider clips. It's Super Sentai's sister show (also created by Ishinomori). They've shared the same hour time slot for the last 22 years now in a block called SUPERHERO TIME.
Kamen Rider is darker and usually focuses on a singular hero without giant robots.
Currently, Sentai is in their 45th year and Kamen Rider is in their 50th year.
Thanks for the quick rundown of the history of this! We loved the “Give Spider-Man a giant robot” 😂 it’s like, how come no one thought of that til then 😀🤩
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 The whole japanese spider-man show is a ride as well. Twenty or so episodes into production someone stole Marveller's (Giant Robot) Sword. Instead of spending a few yen in just making a new sword... they just kept reusing the shots of the robo doing it's finishing move with the sword. Toei ended up doing that for every Sentai robo since. Using dedicated finishing move scenes to save time.
@@Kuchiri it was more than the sword. It was most of the costume.
One mistake there. The sentai that Saban saw was Bioman, which was many years after Battle Fever not, "around the same time." The rest of your facts are correct, as far as I know.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 Even better, the Japanese version of Spider-Man was introduced into Marvel comics as part of the Spider-Verse event and has been confirmed for the Spider-Verse movies, so you should be able to see the character in the movies soon!
This was awesome. And yes, Power Rangers came from Japan in 1975. Right now, they are celebrating their 45th anniversary in Japan right now. Well I can't wait to see more videos.
😎🤟🥳
Agreed herezmikey their is going to be another sentai in 2022 👍
1:29 That scene was ridiculous yet funny as heck haha
I used to watch Super Sentai and Kamen Rider all the times when i was a kid, this really bring back memory
☺️ had wrong emoji and sent it too fast 🤗
"You could make so many toys out of this." BOY! You have no idea
🤑
13:50
To be honest, Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger have 10 rangers. But! If you want talk about many. Check out, Kyuranger. They have 12
Thanks! 🙂
And now for an interesting bit of trivia...
As you saw in some of the show compilations, there would be two different girls transforming into the same suit. One of the biggest reasons story-wise is that either the first heroine leaves to go pursue other ventures, or, in the case of Bioman, gets killed off.
Thanks for pointing that out. 😀
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 Of course.
If you really want to go down the tokusatsu rabbit hole, you should do a reaction to a transformation pose compilation from the Kamen Rider series! :D
Super Sentai is what inspired Powers Rangers. There's a Japanese Spider-Man TV series that inspired Super Sentai.
We love that the creators were inspired by Spider-Man. 😊
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 Same. Stan Lee even worked with the Japanese folks to make it.
You might've learned this since this video but you wouldn't recognize the pink from the Sentai after Zyuranger or her teammates because the only thing that we adapted into Power Rangers from Gosei Sentai Dairanger was their 6th ranger Kibaranger (who, incidentally is a really perverted kid in Dairanger while the white ranger was simply a replacement for the green ranger powers)
Thanks for letting us know 😀
A really late correction we also adapted the Dairanger mecha (what we call Zords) into the Mighty morphin season 2 Thunderzords
I still love how u can read the description behind the space rangers
"Sounds like a Yoshisaur"- cue me dying of laughter, because not only is that particular season a dinosaur season, but... Yoshi Sudarso. That is all.
🤗
In Maskman, they tested the idea of having a 6th ranger. They were called "X1 Mask". But, just like the one in its name, they only appeared in a single episode.
😎👍🙂
The dino buckler change was the first japanese show which we started for the power rangers. We used the monster segments in ours and hired american actors for reshoots for here.
yeah, Miss America (the 3rd one), her helmet is super freaky
Just missing magine (from zenkaiger, the 45 super Sentai series) but her transformation is one of the best
😎🤟🙂
You guys should check out the 6th ranger transformation comparisons by Shan Tokusatsu. The video compares the original japanese to the Power rangers adaptation, and it's pretty interesting to see two different takes on the same base characters

@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 Yeah I figured that when you didn't freak out at seeing the mighty morphin pink ranger 😅 but it's cool I still enjoyed it.
they go way back in late 70's til today
Impressive span of time for a franchise 😯
The one where they handed her the sword... she was the true boss ranger of that crew in that season. She had been unable to go but by her bloodline she was the heir to be the leader, the Lord of the 'family' of rangers. That's why she was Red Ranger and she had servants at her every whim.
For context, Zyuranger (Power Rangers' source material) is the 16th entry in the Super Sentai series.
Thanks! 🙂
Well, at first, I didn't want to watch super sentai just because it's a totally unknown language and from a really different country. But I decided to give it a try and that's the best decision I made in the whole lockdown. It's really enjoyable and can give you anime vibes outside anime done by real humans.
I LOVE SUPER SENTAI!!

@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 i would recommend gorenger from 1975 dragon ranger burai he is geki’s brother from zyuranger i don’t know what you are guys are talking about I am confused 🤖
So, typically with a lot of fans of Power Rangers, as they would get older, they started to move more towards Super Sentai. I'm not speaking for everyone, but when I was younger, I mainly watched Power Rangers because of the fight scenes and the action. But, as I grew older, I began to have a better understanding of story and plot and, while a LOT of Power Rangers seasons (examples being RPM, Jungle Fury, and SPD to name a few) have really good stories, at the time that I began getting older and having better story comprehension was when seasons like Samurai and Megaforce began airing, both of which are seasons that dont have the greatest plots. Sure, they still have the spectacle, but they dont have the character drives that kept me engaged with the story, rather than being like "haha, explosion go boom".
So, I turned to Super Sentai. It had the same fight scenes and visuals, but each season also managed to tell their own very gripping and entertaining stories, and had their own great characters (save for some that we dont really talk about in the community). And the most exciting part was that every season was a fresh start. They all felt wildly different from each other while still keeping those core themes that every Sentai season has. On the other hand, Power Rangers (At least from 2011 to 2018) all kind of had the same vibe, especially since they began splitting each season that would typically be 40 episodes into 2 20 episode long seasons, so we would have the same cast for 2 years in a row. But they all had a diverse cast of 20 somethings that all felt kind of bland, with the exception of the season that aired in 2015, even though the second half of that season kind of lost the charm of some of those characters. Sorry, got off topic there.
But with Super Sentai, you never really know what you're going to get between seasons. The best example of this, in my opinion, is the season that aired in 2016, 2017, and 2018, those being "Zyuohger" (15:57 - 16:28), "Kyuranger" (16:29 - 17:17), and "Lupinranger VS Patoranger" (17:18 - 17:50) respectively. In Zyuohger, the series started with bipedal animals from another dimension crossing over into our dimension to help try and protect the planet from a giant intergalactic gambling ring. While it's strange, it's nothing too out of the ordinary. But then, the next season, in Kyuranger, the entire universe has already been enslaved by the bad guys, and we follow a rag-tag group of resistance fighters trying to free the universe from this oppressive regime. Already a HUGE difference. And then, the next season, Lupinranger vs Patoranger, we get a cops and robbers season with one team trying to steal back some old guy's knick-knacks from interdimensional gangsters, while the police try to arrest them. 3 seasons, aired right after each other, each with wildly different tones.
Meanwhile, with Power Rangers, for almost 8 years, we got "attractive 20-somethings fight the bad guys and learn about teamwork and friendship BUY OUR TOYS. Also, the red rangers is looking for his Dad." I'm not kidding. For 2 seasons in a row, we had the red ranger trying to find his dad. 2 **different** seasons, mind you.
And yet, I still cant help but lean towards Power Rangers as being my preferred show. At least in general. There are seasons of Sentai I would watch over Power Rangers, but because I'm much more familiar with Power Rangers than Sentai, I cant help but have fonder memories with it. I've enjoyed Sentai for almost a decade now, but I've been watching Power Rangers since I was 4. It's the series I'm more familiar with, so I have more of a preference towards it, and when i watch the Sentai season one of my favorite Power Rangers seasons is based on, it doesnt hit right, because I'm more used to the Power Rangers version. I think this goes in line with your "Psychology of the first impression" argument. An example of this would be "Gekiranger" (9:56 - 10:31) and its American adaptation, "Power Rangers Jungle Fury". I grew up with Jungle Fury, and I would probably say it is my favorite season of Power Rangers, so when I tried watching Gekiranger, even though it's a good season in it's own right, it definitely felt like it wasnt right because I was seeing these suits I was familiar with, but it wasnt the characters I was used to. It wasnt done the same way, similar to your example with the Phantom of the Opera. It's the same steak, but cooked differently. Some people like it Medium-Rare, some like it Medium-Well.
...I dont exactly know where I'm going with this comment, its literally 5:30 in the morning as I write this and I havent slept. I hope you can glean SOMETHING from my comment, because, honestly...I sure as hell cant.
Also, as a random request, check out a video of all Super Sentai opening themes. They're all different and amazing in their own rights. Though I'm not sure if that would be a copyright issue, since it would most likely be roughly 45 minutes of music.
Appreciate you going into this and explaining your perspective on each series and why you like on over the other and how that can change as we change. Hope you were eventually able to get to sleep 🤗🙂
power rangers has been using less sentai footage since dino charge
in space is way better than megarager
If you want to do a follow up to this, the Gokaiger season has the pirates (main characters) henshining into previous versions of Rangers teams to use their powers and weapons, with gender swaps for the yellow rangers who were actually guys in the original Super Sentai and the blue rangers who were women in the originals.
Now that you guys have seen part of the henshin and roll calls, maybe a video of the full teams' next. Especially because this video was acfually missing the newest one
We’d be down to check out more in future 😀
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers first aired in 1993 & Power Rangers is still on going to this day. There were Power Rangers movies in the 90's and in 2017, there was another Power Rangers film, which was a reboot.

Oh gee..that was something ^^ Super cheezy but i love it.
The Sentai concept goes way back into the 70's. Sentai simpley means "Task Force" and started in 1972 with Kagaku Ninja-Tai Gatchaman Anime.
So even the legendary Power Rangers were not "new" at there time. But still awesome. And with new information about some stuff, the lore is kinda dark and serious, also the 2016 reboot movie about them, was really good. Was a giant product placement for some specific dounats but who cares :P
Now i really like to see you watching all the Megazords from this era. All Megazord Transformations Part 1 - 5 by Bradley Stephanson. ^^ Thank you.
There are a few new comics about the classic Power Rangers from the 90's.. Story about Rita, who was once good and now frustraded and evil, cause "Good Magic" could not save her mother so dark magic was way cooler.
Tommy Oliver aka the Green Ranger (later White also Golden in the TV Series) fused with the White Ranger from an alternative future, were the Rangers lost and Earth is ruled by him and Rita.. pretty dark)
I like to be the green Ranger too :O Dang. The Dragonzord was so awesome ^^ Thanks Beth. Sister in mind.
That comic actually sounds pretty cool with the concept. Also have heard others say that when you really get into the Super Sentai stories, some of them are quite dark despite the appearance, and as you put it, "super cheezy". Find that interesting. 🤔🙂
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 I always say that with a smile on my face, when you see something ridiciouls but having fun with it anyway. They know it is stupid, but the japanse celebrationg this. Embrace it. And thats always the best spirit.
Sure these stories can be really dark sometimes, cause thats what life is. If we lived in a perfect enlightened world, we would never have developed the stories of superheroes.
in The japanese Serie ZyuRanger, Bandora (Rita) turnt from good to Bad , because here son kai Died. So she is more of an Dracig charakter than a pure evil.

@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 Both openings can also react to their transformations. Or as they would say in Japanese "henshin" and rollcall, they are worth thank you for their videos

3:44 It was still 1987 there
Thanks! 🙂
The reason the girl suits had skirts was because the in suit actors were mainly male and it made it easy to hide the manhood
😯
Yeah, Big One's suit actor really couldn't hide it very well (if you know you know).
I recommend that you react to all Super Sentai Openings,
Actually, here’s a link to a video that has all of them within it, just for simplicity’s sake:

Thanks for sharing the link! 😀
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 you’re welcome.
If you haven't already I highly recommend trying to find the entirety of Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger (translated as Unofficial Squadron Akibaranger). It's insane in a fun way. It's an unofficial series made by Toei (yeah, try wrapping your head around an unofficial series being made by the company that makes Super Sentai officially) about a trio of people from Akibara, basically Japan's headquarters for all things weeb and similar. The show is basically a giant fourth wall break and pokes fun at all the tropes found in the Sentai series. But the real kicker? The Akibarangers aren't even really fighting, it's all in an imaginary world, meaning from the real world's point of view they look like a bunch of insane people being weird in public. In summary, if you want a Super Sentai series that doesn't take itself too seriously and cranks the satire dial up to a thousand, Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger is for you
Oh boy, do you have any further plans to go down the tokusatsu rabbit hole? Because that's a hole that goes deep, and has been known to consume reaction channels - people just love to keep requesting so many videos once you start.
This is a weird video to start with, though. I would definitely recommend checking out a compilation of all the openings. There are a bunch of them out there, but this is the only one I know of which is up to date with the opening from the latest series, which just started and is only a few episodes in: th-cam.com/video/MmZaGlrfbTA/w-d-xo.html There are also comparison videos that have the both the Sentai and Power Rangers openings, but those don't have all the Sentai openings so you wouldn't see the complete history (they don't have the ones before PR or some of the more recent ones that haven't been adapted). I'd also recommend a compilation of all the henshin sequences from across the series, not just the girls', but I don't know which one's the best or if there are any that are up to date.
5:24 Close, that was the ones they used for the first PR sequel series, which was the first time they changed the costumes.
7:28 Indeed, she's actually the leader of the team (though not the protagonist).
8:26 They were, but there have been four dinosaur-based series so far. It's one of the iconic gimmicks they like to reuse, mainly because apparently they always sell well.
10:44 Yeah, I mean, that's the point. These series are merchandising juggernauts, and everything is designed with that in mind. That's how they make their money they're able to afford to keep making so much of them for so long. Toy sales are actually a bigger factor in whether a series is considered successful than TV ratings. Actually, what I heard is that different toys are more popular in Japan and America. In America, what sells most is the action figures, so Power Rangers frequently adds additional power ups and special forms for the heroes that aren't in the original series. In Japan, what sells most is the "roleplay gear" - the transformation devices, weapons, and other gadgets - so Super Sentai puts a lot more emphasis on devices with different functionalities that make voice lines and catchy musical jingles that they make show-accurate toys out of, and more recently they often have lines of collectible devices that can be plugged into them to do various things - in this video alone you can see they've used power cells (10:37), cards (12:19), batteries (13:31), shuriken (15:21), orbs (16:30), and figurines (17:54).
11:37 It was a big deal in Japan, as well. Coincidentally, the series that became the first season of MMPR was the first to have a proper "Sixth Ranger", but not only did he start off evil like in the American version, but instead of becoming the new leader after he turned good, he died near the end. There was allegedly a big letter-writing campaign demanding they bring him back. Both versions' characters leaving such a big impression was probably why having additional Rangers became a recurring thing. Later series have actually had more than the usual six members (probably, again, for merchandising reasons) - Kyoryuger, the third dinosaur one with the guns and the dancing, had 10 members by the end, and Kyuranger, the one with the robot girl with the wings, had the most permanent members with 12.
13:22 That was actually a deliberate reference to the American series.
14:34 Funny you should say that, that old guy you pointed out is actually the main character's dad.
16:22 They ARE supposed to be like Rubix cubes. The colour scheme of the team is actually supposed to be the five colours you usually find on Rubix cubes.
Thanks for the time stamped info and answering our questions from this. This video had been requested for awhile from a regular on the channel. And we did have a lot of requests to do more. Has a lot of copyright issue unfortunately but we may end up getting back to it 😇
I never watched Power Rangers growing up but I probably would've preferred the Japanese version just because its the original.
90% of the time the original is better 😊
For added reassurance, definitely, since Sentai tends to be less episodic than what PR adapts it into.
nah bro some power ranger series are better than some super sentai
Great reaction thank you so much ill support you for that pick your favorite outfit from power rangers choose one
Our pleasure, Tommy! Thanks for recommending it and always being patient and saying please and thank you when asking for the video for the past several months. We really appreciated it. 😊🤗
Also i think space had n e with an arrow or something on the morpher but ya most of us probably saw that as ej lol
As for the context behind Super Sentai I am sure enough people already told you. But if want a nice sentai series to jump into i say ether the 35th series that's was an anniversary series is the pirate themed sentai Gokaigers or the series that came after it Go-Busters. Or you can keep up with the current series Avataro Sentai Don Brothers (the 46th series)
Thanks for the series rec. pirate themes always work for a good hook 🙂
Maybe a reaction vid to all the theme songs of super sentai. I saw another channel do it and enjoyed their opinions
We can add it to our request list 😇
Oh my god.. please tell me you guys gonna react to Kamen Raider and Ultraman stuffs too, that would've been awesome💙
We’ve added those to our request list to check out in future. Lots of requests for Kamen Rider 😊
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 awesome!
I love your reactions, pls react to more super sentai❤️❤️❤️
Greetings from México
Thanks! 🇲🇽 🤗🥳
I remember after discovering Super Sentai, I watched the first episode of Changeman. Holy hell! That was one dark first episode! Also, yes, check out Kamen Rider transformations. And Ultraman.
😎🤟
Kamen rider transformation is Good to check out ☺️
まさか海外の方が戦隊ヒロインの変身シーンを見る場面をまとめた動画とは。
面白いです！
So Super Sentai is the beginning of Power Rangers it started off in 1975 power rangers gets its concepts and suits from Super Sentai and they use their footage as well
Didn’t realize they used the footage as well 😯
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 yea but they’re slowly trying to separate from Super Sentai
power Rangers started in late 1990s, Super Sentai started in 1975
At least it was white swan and blue swallow cause white swallow probably wouldn't have gone down as well LOL. I remember a lot of these costumes from when they came over to America as power rangers. Loved the power rangers
Lmao 🤣
Loved both in jetman 🎵
Yeah. Power Rangers still goes on. Still adapts the sentai shows
😯
Possible to do a female kamen rider ver? I wanna know ur reaction! It is fun to watch ur reaction and hear ur discussion
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the reaction and we do have some Kamen Rider videos on our request list. 😇😊
If you havent yet you should look into the transformations of super sentais sister show kamen rider, or even the ultrman heroes....they are all tokusatsu whoch is basically live action super hero shows
We haven’t seen it yet. This is our first video in this genre 🙂
Be careful, toei doesnt play with the copyright.
Oh this got flagged immediately so we aren't making any money off the ads on this video. But it's all good 🤗
Hola, hello #DefinitelyNotDefinitive, super Sentai o power Rangers toys? nice video, good
