- I've always wondered what was the difference between Power Rangers and Super Sentai. So I sat down and went through the whole thing to figure out just how much Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers borrowed from its Japanese (Super Sentai) counterpart; Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger.

#PowerRangers #Zyuranger #SuperSentai - Krátké a kreslené filmy
First ten minutes of this explains why I love Super Sentai's continuity so much more. No powers passed on or destroyed, no time loops to hop through, just pure brightly colored spandex fun
On the flipside, that's why _I_ prefer PR's continuity*, especially the first few seasons; they all transition into the next in a way that (usually) makes sense. My only gripe with it is that _it's not exactly done well._ I much prefer the idea, but not so much the execution. Besides, it's partially because of Sentai they have to do some of these things; there's not a whole lot they can do when they have footage of a bunch of Sentai teams that didn't even appear in PR that they have to make sense of. Not that I'm using that to excuse sloppy writing, of course; various PR writers do it very well, others....
And on that note, coming from later "What's The Difference" videos, I don't really like this one. Whereas the others attempt to summarize the other shows' stories (sometimes to their detriment, as some's strong-suits are their characters rather than plot), in this one he just... complains about PR's continuity for 10 minutes. He never does this with Sentai, when half of their crossovers cannot even be canon, despite others completely being canon and relying on each show taking place in the same continuity when they clearly can't....
But I don't come to either show for interesting stories (and certainly not continuity) anyway. It's just a very pleasant surprise when they have one.
*I also prefer PR simply because I haven't watched any Super Sentai besides clips and reviews. There are a couple I'd like to watch if I can find them for a decent price. And also I'm talking about PR as a whole, not specifically MMPR. MMPR... isn't very good, honestly. It's perfect brightly colored spandex fun tho.
Lllvll
@@TristenSarelvun lol lol knkllskkv
In some cases but the various cross covers tend to make little sense since toei in recent years has been trying to keep all sentai in 1 existing continuity. Especially after gokaiger made that official to explain why these sentai cross covers happen.
Also don't pretend time travel didnt happen in sentai.
@@Fureiji88 the crossovers make sense if you use multiverse theory also yes time travel exists in Sentai but not overly complicated plot holes to explain which version of a certain ranger is fighting
All the powers were restored in the 15th Anniversary.
Jason, Zack, and Trinis coins were copied. They left with the originals.
Tommy being friends with Wes obviously asked to go back and get the clones copy of the dragon coin.
Time Force was able to help Tommy create his master morpher. Presumably the others who had multiple powers also gained a master morpher.
The Zeo powers were stated as a power that grew stronger everyday. Eventually it would be too much of a strain on the human body to keep using these powers until somehow someone can figure out to balance it out. Thus leading to Zordon using the Turbo powers.
The Dairanger opening is pure gold.
Steve McCord agreed😊
I'm going t disagree on something, I don't think cutting out love overcoming evil is too dark for kids. That's like cutting out the death of Bambi's mother just because it's too dark for kids. I think removing somber themes from children's media is an insult to children's intelligence.
This was my childhood growing up. I think I stopped watching around Lost Galaxy. Then I got into Kamen Rider and never looked back.
This is where I think the Boom Studios comic series greatly improves on the original MMPR series. Go Go Power Rangers deals with what happens after they got their powers but before Tommy became the Green Ranger (although they're building up to a retelling of 'Green With Evil') with the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers series telling an alternative version of what happens after Tommy joins the team. These comics have a continuing storyline involving an alternative universe version of Tommy who's an evil White Ranger called 'Lord Drakkon', and it's probably some of the best Power Rangers media ever made.
Not really into power rangers but I heard about this comic on sentai fits CZcams channel 😎
Slight correction. Drakkon isn't the White Ranger but a forced fusion of the Green and White Ranger Powers. But yeah the Drakkon ark was amazing and I wish the comics got adapted as a animated series. Easy money and better way to advertise figures. Plus the Gravezord, Mega Gravezord, and Black Dragon would be awesome mechs to collect.
I see a bunch of good movies comin because of boom studios storyline it’s freakin amazing an makes me feel like a kid again lol
Just bad fan fiction
@@MrAjking808 like your life?
It's way too dark for a kids show even though it's a kids show in Japan. Japanese shows actually show that action have consequences.
Because Japan respects their kids. Unlike in the US where they think everything needs to be PG and have zero consequences. But I prefer the Japanese stuff. Kamen Rider is so good because they aren't afraid to go hard. Heck Build has our Hero Kill an Enemy by accident and it messes him up for a whole Episode to where he even begs one of his enemies to kill him. Thats why I enjoy the Japanese stuff. They actually treat their fans like adults. And for a while PR kinda did that with Space and Lost Galaxy.

So the zords are gods in Super Sentai.
Gods that have cockpits inside them so you can drive them around with joysticks?
Kind of, yeah.
Ah yes. Daizyujin being god when my friends were watching made us think "How can we know more about this religion where God is a giant Geshtalt robot?"
@@FlameWizard5 Linkara fan?
@@christiancrusader9374 no, I mean we literally were interested in how Daizyujin, a giant robot, became god and how could we join. Unfortunately, there was no official religion for him, so we gave up
@@FlameWizard5 Lol!
Goldar and Scorpina had a child, what would that make it, a manticore.
Is it wrong if I find them both really hot for some reason?
@@Karttibone 💯
Grifforzar and rami you are talking about the final episode of zyuranger 🧞♂️
Just Scorpina/Rami for me thank you. Hairy smelly apes aren't my type.
@@Karttibone I would say yes but I kinda think that of Ahsoka so no
So it's a "Battle of the Planets" situation where the US version is basically nothing like the Japanese version.
sorceress Bandora was hardcore, she was straight up blowing up cities.
That would never happen in American shows. (Especially nowadays)
When Bandora appeared it was basically end of the world situation until the Zyurangers saved the day.
6:15 - Linkara has a good explanation for this. In the episode in question, Adam does NOT invoke the Ninja powers. The transformation sequence and phrase are for the original Mastodon. The Ninja powers did in fact get destroyed, but the ORIGINAL powers were only damaged when the Thunderzords blew up. They weren't completely destroyed. And as we know, in some cases damaged electronics can still partially function. But as you see in the episode, it still harms him when he tries to use it, because it IS still damaged.
So when Adam’s coin is restored would that have also restored the thunder zord?
@@stonalisa3729 No, because the Thunder Zords were indeed destroyed, and the feedback that happens when their powers are tied into the Zords is what caused the damage to his morpher.
@@stonalisa3729 Thunderzords were completely fragged and turned to scrap (meaning they'd need to be rebuilt from ground up), the energy backlash from that thrashed the active Dino Coins (since the Thunderzords were built from the damaged Dinozords, and thus tied to the Dino Coins), the thrashed Dino Coins had to be replaced with the Ninja Coins (and new Morphers to go with them) by Ninjor, but were evidentially semi-functional if unstable as seen by Adam's use in "Always A Chance" (In Space, Adam supporting Carlos from one Black Ranger to another Black Ranger).
It was the Ninja Coins that Billy used during MMAR to return to his "true" age (and thus being played by David Yost) before they were stolen by Goldar and turned to dust by Rita & Zedd's magic.
Additionally;
We know the Power Coins were the physical world connections of the Morphing Grid for the MMPR Powers and it's easy enough for those with a lot of power and knowledge to create new Power Coins and connect them to the Morphing Grid (Ninjor made the original 6 Dino Coins, Zordon made the White Tiger Coin, Ninjor made the 6 Ninja Coins, and we know Ninjor made the Alien Ranger Coins as well), so when the Sword of Light was used it made via magic new Tyranno, Mastodon & Sabertooth Coins before *transferring the connections* of the Morphing Grid for those powers from the Coins of Jason/Zack/Trini to the Coins of Rocky/Adam/Aisha.
Thus Adam likely had his Broken Mastodon Coin still connected to the Grid in "Always A Chance" (though we know the Power Coins can run off the lifeforce of the user, power injected from other sources (Green Ranger post-Green Candle), or piggybacked off another coin (Jason & Zack when using the Dragon Armour)), but between then and "Forever Red" it is most likely someone like Ninjor or Billy switched the MMPR Red powers from Rocky's Broken Tyranno Coin (which is why he wasn't in "Forever Red") to Jason's Original Tyranno Coin, before Adam has his Broken Mastodon Coin repaired by Sentinel Knight for "Once A Ranger" 5 years later.
Plus in the power transfer both the originals and their replacements are morphed concurrently so its most likely that the powers were actually copied to the recruits.
@@LiMe251They were actually transferred, and they needed a conduit to do so. The transfer was in progress, which is why both parties were morphed at the same time. Neither of them had ALL of the powers yet. Once all of the powers transferred completely, the first three de-morphed after the obligatory delay that tends to happen in Power Rangers when powers are moved or lost (most likely a delay in the Morphin Grid as it realigns to where the powers are now).
Though for some reason, when Kimberly's powers were transferred, they didn't need a conduit. My guess is that this was probably because of the fact that the Ninja Powers and Green Ranger powers are different Power Coins from the original five and the White Ranger coin, which Zordon probably reverse-engineered (hence why the Mastodon could still be invoked, but NOT the Ninja powers; the Ninja powers WERE destroyed).
I am sure that back in 1993, there was a thing called the Internet, though it was mostly text base and really slow to load up photos and never had the ability to load any video over 10 seconds long.
I remember downloading fan music videos of the X-Files from Kazaa in like, 1996. They were short, took all day to download, were tiny with terrible editing and took up 80 percent of my hard drive space, so I had to delete them after I watched them. Fun fact, The X-Files was the first tv show with an official website.
One of the other really important plot points of Zyuranger is the fact there is even a 6th ranger at all. In Super Sentai history, there had never been a 6th Ranger, almost always 5 (but there have been series that had only 3), but sometimes an "extra hero" that wasn't a ranger that would fight along side them. When Zyuranger first showed a 6th ranger, I think it was likely a mind blowing plot twist that no one would have expected. I'm sure the trend of 6 or more rangers only continued because it increased toy sales though.
Continuity is a dirty word.
Unless I'm mistaken, I think I had heard it may have been the Sentinel Knight that helped to restore the past Ranger powers, which would help explain their appearance in the Legendary Battle at the end of Super Mega Force.
To be honest it wouldn’t explain turbo and in space rangers appearing at the same time in super mega force. Unless it had something to do with time travel, or illusions, or something else entirely.
No
@@kuroinova2056 turbo robot versions that they were sent to fight with dimitria.
The morphin Masters did iy
@@kuroinova2056 the turbo cast had clones, and Justin wasn't in another team
Zyuranger is, at best, a middling Sentai, but the Green Ranger arc really elevates it at one point. I really prefer the Green Ranger being the Red Ranger's brother, with a severe grudge, over the "I put a spell on you!" angle they did for Power Rangers.
kyoryu sentai zyuranger is better not a power rangers fan huge sentai fan
It's the on;y one I've watched, and I'm not quite finished. It's way better than Power Rangers. I'm loving it. Nice to know there are even better ones. Which Sentai would you say is the best?
Yup, green ranger Tommy is basically Rita's bitch
I'm honestly upset they went with Zyuranger for the first season of Power Rangers. In terms of story and cast, its a low point for me, unfortunately most people regard it as the best ever because it was first.
@@rainofkhandaq6678 I don't know if it's really that. When PR came out, it was during the height of the dinosaur craze. Fuckin dinosaurs were everywhere. Jurassic Park came out around the same time, I think. I don't know if it would have been loved by kids as much if we adapted Jetman, which is a superior season in Japan.
Part of me wishes it was called Dino Rangers or something... but I think maybe Power Rangers was the best name as far as marketing. When the He-Man creators were in the early stages of the toy line's development, they noticed boys loving the idea of power in their play, and incorporated that into the line. Saban must've known this, and used it.
Hi I thought this might be of interest to you.
One of the reasons the plot setup for MMPR was so wildly different from that of Zyuranger is that it borrowed heavily from Bio-Man, Haim Saban's test pilot for his idea of bringing Sentai to the west, which he would show to producer after producer for almost ten years! Bio-Man was based on the Eighth Super Sentai Series, Choudenshi Bioman, in which a powerful otherworldly being (Bio Robo) and their small robot friend (Peebo) gather five young adults that were shadowed with "Bio Particles" to fight the wicked Doctor Man and his New Empire Gear. In a weird way, MMPR's setting was more of a traditional Sentai setting at the time than Zyuranger, which was the first to take Super Sentai and place it in the now-common fantasy direction.
Bioman is my favorite sentai 📼
In regards to SPD and Dino Thunder. The first team up brought the original three dino rangers to the future, dragged their morphers out of storage for them to fight, took them back, then sent them back to the past memories wiped.
The second takes place before the Dino Thunder finale where they still had their powers and despite the fact that time travel is a proven fact and never required mind erasing 100% of the time, the Dino rangers (sans Tommy) forget including the SPD rangers. Time travel and Power Rangers continuity are dumb!
I was trying to find information about this topic and this video is precisely what I was looking for!! Thanks for putting a lot of time into making this video
What’s great now a days is that the original Sentai series is now available as dvd sets for each season so people can support the official release and watch it whenever 👍
Great work! Super interesting video, it kinda makes me wanna watch Super Sentai.
There's plenty of sources online - although I probably can't link any on here.
Pomelo Pictures what sites do you use don't link them just tell if you can I really want to watch them even though I do perfer power rangers over super sentai anyway but still
"Kiss Asian"
Overtime and TVNihon have torrents for the current seasons of Super Sentai.
Shout! Factory actually made DVDs of Zyuranger to Gingaman (Mighty Morphin to Lost Galaxy) available to buy. All subbed and licensed.
Kuchiri Jetman will out in Sept, and I hope Shout Factory gets to license everything from the first sentai to Toei Spider-Man and then KR and the Ultraman franchise with all associated content, vs movies etc.
Thank you for making this video series. It allows the viewer to see the difference in story, characters and drama between US and Japan. Great Job
The Super Sentai are usually darker and more "adult". Also, they tend to have physical transportation, whereas the first few PR series had teleportation. Probably because it's easier and cheaper. But motorcycles, cars and the like sell more toys haha
Yeah but now a days they less dark and more goofy
@@zeokingsilver your really dum.b its still dark af your big idio.t
Honestly I felt the same way about 10 years ago. When Samurai was coming out, I wanted to see the sentai version so I could get ahead of everyone else, thinking they were the same show, just reacted. That started me on my quest to watch every single season of Super Sentai. Also at the time of Samurai coming out, was Gokaiger that was airing and I waited very impatiently each week for a new episode. I even told my friend that I wasn't going to go back and watch the sentai version of the power Rangers from Mighty Morphin to RPM because it would be the same, not helped by the fact that Samurai was literally a dubbing job of Shinkenger. Either way Im very much looking forward to moe videos comparing the two series as you get to them.
I will start the Super Sentai series, probably first with Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger. I know it's not the best but I love the costumes (and I grew up with the first Power Rangers series). Your videos are really great. Funny and well edited. It really makes you want to get into the japanese series. You have a very nice voice too.
Love the video, in the boom studio comics; it’s revealed that Kimberly can still access her pink ranger powers through the power sword, and grants the remaining “de powered rangers” including Jason, Zack, etc their powers back. I’ll be it with a bit of a pink aesthetic, and I believe that this apparently canon and would explain how they got their powers back through the use of the power sword.
True - but the comics are arguably a different universe.
@@PomeloRetro that is a fair point, I wonder if boom will ever continue the story from the 95 movie
I love how you talk about season 1 for like 5 minutes and that’s the story 😂
You are forgetting the power transfer where the powers were copied which means that Red, Black and Yellow can morph for the others Green is from the past, And that the White, Blue and Pink powers were fixed along with the copy coins, Being that those were the ninja coins that were destroyed. The morphing grid has a lot of secrets and things we don't know about. Powers can be repaired overtime.
The fact that Power Rangers is often incoherent is because Saban wanted to make all adaptations of different stories in Super Sentai coherent. Obviously if you add something like "the Mighty Morphin powers cannot be used anymore" in Zeo, whereas in Ohranger, they don't even mention Zyuranger, and they come back in Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Legend Great Battle, along with the 34 first Super Sentai teams, this event is adapted into an episode of Super Megaforce, where some Rangers that shouldn't exist in Power Rangers actually appear.
Awesome video! I always wondered about this myself. I might go back and watch both shows.
It's well worth watching, it's just a lot of episodes to catch up on.
The internet was around in 1993 (and it existed well before that in a primitive form); it just wasn't widely available or affordable.

Watching this and remembering how it was as a kid is like going to a different dimension
the tmnt in space crossover made my friend almost quite in space.
Just found you today hope you continue through every series not just in space
To be fair, I doubt they casted Tommy as the red ranger only because he was said to be native american. I think it was just due to his massive popularity among fans and even him as the white ranger being the “new leader”
After watching Zyuranger, even though, I found kind of dark for kids show, I mean Bandora was willing to kill, sacrifice and eat kids. I think the sibling rivalry makes more sense than the rivalry between Jason and Tommy. I think I have said this in your other video, but I prefer Kimberly compared to Mei. Mei annoyed me with her constant whining and her helpless attitude whereas Kimberly was able to hold her half the time. Storywise, I do prefer Super Sentai because they provide great character arcs. I don’t know if you’re doing this in order, but I want to know what you think of Shinkenger vs Samurai.
itd be dark for an american childrens network yes
@@waitnopleaseleave7978 remember when Power Rangers came out? Parents were complaining about the violence, to the point it was banned in a couple of countries. If parents saw the Super Sentai, can you imagine the uproar?
@@sarawinardi6745 unfortunately, i very much can, but a simple solution would be to just rate sentai as for teenagers. there will still be outrage, of course, but at a lesser and dumber frequency than it would be if it was advertised for children.
@Sara Winardi
Most current Sentai could easily be advertised as a kids show in the west. It’s most of the classic Sentai, like Dairanger, that wouldn’t fly as a kids show.
We all had a crush on Kimberly but Mei was a babe also :)
Loved the recent Power Rangers Vs Super Sentai videos from you, Kaiju no Kami as well as others who either look at Power Rangers, or at Super Sentai or even are both series in their retrospective series.
The Power Rangers I grew up with, to the Super Sentai series that I had to buy on DVD from Shout Factory.
I find these videos enjoyable to look back on the American version as well as the Japanese original series.
Very interesting I always thought they would be the same but I only really saw sentai on the Dino thunder episode
7:19 The SPD Rangers stumbled into a wormhole that took them to Earth in 2004 when the Dino Thunder Rangers haven't lost their Ranger powers yet, let alone defeated Zeltrax and Mesogog yet. The second SPD/Dino Thunder crossover episode "Wormhole" takes place (from Dino Thunder's perspective) a few weeks after the Dino Rangers met the Ninja Storm Rangers.
Interestingly enough Zyuranger is the first sentai I ever watched. Though it didn't have subtitles I still enjoyed it.
First sentai I remember seeing was jetman ☻
These are awesome! I hope you do more! Magiranger and kyuranger are gonna be sick
Totally
Are those better sentai seasons?
They’re my favorites
This is exactly what I was looking for, thanks
I have always loved the costume, zord, monster, and set designs of seasons 1 and 2. They look totally crazy, but also very cool looking. Sure you get some weirdo monsters, some of the "Halloween" themed ones come to mind, but you also get some a lot of really cool looking ones.
Also always loved Tommy and Kimberly. They are the best.
I kind of wish that if Power Rangers is ever rebooted again for the big screen that they incorporate some of the storylines from Sentai Rangers along with some of the characters from Power Rangers, and mash it all together in a 90s nostalgia movie.

more trivia involving machiko soga, she also played a villain named pandora in the series jikuu senshi spielban.
when saban produced VR Troopers, that was one of two series involved in the first season. it was a mash up of choujinki metalder and jikuu senshi spielban, the latter half involving monsters and footage for two of the three heroes involved. hence why most times in that series, you'd see them split up a LOT to take on near overwhelming forces.

Yes - but probably when a story arc is complete. We've done videos on the "Aftershock" graphic novel and the Justice League crossover. Next will probably be the "Pink" graphic novel.
Look up the shattered grid trailer, you will want to dive right in to the comics.

Power Rangers Samurai was actually a note for note translation of The Sentai that Power Rangers was based off of
Yep, thanks Tzachor, ya sentai obsessed nut
But it failed because change Female Red Ranger as his biological sister, while in original Japanese version they are unrelated.
i mean Tommy becoming a red ranger was going to happen at some point seeing as he took over as the leader after season 1 and we all know that red is the leader of the group, making the eventual red ranger native American though is where the problem there lies but honestly i don't see a problem with them being those colours based on their race
i mean, if you have 5-6 odd mainstay colors, eventually one skin color is going to match the costume. you would have to actively avoid it for it NOT to be a thing. and at that point your are basing the suit wearer off of ethnicity which is kind of weird too.
@@midshipman8654 i mean they did actually, after the whole Trini's actor as Yellow ranger, Zack's actor as Black Ranger and Tommy being native American as the Red thing they actively avoided using specific actors for those colours because they didn't want anyone thinking they were racist for doing so as they got accused for being racist when it was really just coincidence.
but yea that is pre much why u dont see an African American as a black ranger anymore or an Asian as the Yellow Ranger.
@@FuryousD Which is dumb if you ask me. I'm Asian, and I'd be perfectly okay being a yellow Ranger. Every Yellow Ranger in the Sentia is Asian for crying out loud!
well it's because people called them racist for choosing the original cast of characters, having an African American Black Ranger, a Native American Red Ranger and an Asian Yellow Ranger (having actors whos race has stereotypical skin colours be that coloured ranger) made it look like they were being racist with their choice of who was what colour and avoided it from then on as much as they could.
is it actually racist though? no i don't think it is, i think they were merely over reacting over something that wasn't really a problem.@@saphiriathebluedragonknight375
Wow thank you for really getting into this! Didn't think any old fans on CZcams! You got a subscription!
11:04 Gods, please tell me there's a gif of this old guy turning around somewhere
Well it's like this for returning powers:
After In Space, the Space Kids make a detour and hook up with the Aquitar Rangers/Billy and take them back to earth where they meet up with the older rangers and help them find Ninjor/fix their powers.
For the Once a Ranger crossover where Adam morphs into the Black Ranger, he basically helps reconnect the Overdrive Rangers back to the morphing grid, meaning he has knowledge on how to fix powers (which he would learn since he had help from Ninjor/The In Space Kids & Billy)
For the Forever Red Crossover, Jason had the original Red Ranger powers, so his wouldnt have broken since he wasnt using them, and even if they had, he wouldve just been found by the other rangers who stayed and got them fixed.
With the Green Ranger powers, the Tommy Clone basically became Tommy's ancestor and probably dropped the Green ranger coin down the line to current Tommy, and he has a fully functional Green Ranger coin to use.
The Wormhole/History crossover for SPD happened in the past for wormhole, and the future for History. Kira is the ONLY dino thunder ranger to keep her powers after Once a Ranger
me: watches dark episode of zyuranger
zyuranger: 22:50
Thank you for this video. I just recently did a CZcams review on the 1995 film and wanted to give a brief rundown on its Super Sentai roots but it was way too complicated so I just briefly mention it. I had no idea Rita was a Satanist in Sentai lol.
If you haven't, you should def watch the rest of the sentai series'
Adam is able to transform into the black ranger using the original Mastodon Power Coin which was damaged when the Thunder Megazord was destroyed. The coin's powers were linked to the zords and if the zords were destroyed it created a feedback surge that destroyed the coin. Remember, the Thunder Zords were not new zords, they were upgrades to the dinozords, and thus linked to the original power coins. They were the only direct upgrades of a previous season's zords that I am aware of, which is part of why I see season 2 as being a better adaptation while still using the season 1 suits. In season 3, Ninjor gave them new powers and new power coins based on the ninja power. It's why they switch their roll calls to "(insert color here) Ranger Power!" instead of their original animal calls. Problem is, they didn't change the helmets soo... that was kind of stupid. They weren't using Japanese ranger footage anymore, so there was no reason they couldn't just update the helmets a bit other than wanting to stay on brand.
Anyhoo, the ninja power coins were destroyed by Zedd and Rita, while the original power coins whereabouts are left ambiguous. This is how Adam was still able to morph, as he had somehow kept his original power coin that was only damaged, not destroyed. He could have gotten help from Ninjor himself to repair it, or Alpha since he knew where he was stored some how, or maybe the coin just healed itself over time and was only partially repaired at the time he tried using it again.
The coin switch is hard to notice. The props using during the season 3 morphing sequence uses new Ninja coins. The props used on the belts of the suits had the original coins because they just used the same belt buckles which were one solid piece. instead of making new ones, they just left them as is. In canon, this can be kind of explain by saying the ninja coins gave the rangers access to their old powers, and their old powers retained their old aesthetic. It's kind of weak, but it would at least explain why they kept the old suits (outside of wanting to stay on brand).
i was going to type all this up, LOL.. glad you did it first!.. i thought it was obvious to everyone that they were 2 different coins
It’s just easier to call them continuation errors and/or fan services at 8:40.
that end theme is really something but not in a bad way
Nice video bro. Much appreciated :)
Thanks :)
Pomelo Pictures I've always wondered what the difference was between the American power rangers and the Japanese super sentai version. Thanks for explaining the difference between them.
For a possible explanation for Adam using the black ranger powers in in space. It does make sense since he doesn't invoke the ninja powers, only the original mastodon powers and while those powers were damaged in the power surge which destroyed the thunderzords, its plausible that it could still partially function unlike the ninja powers where the coins were destroyed.
Maybe Zordon was Mr. Dink from Doug before he got trapped in the time warp
Great coherent explanation thank you
There are advantages and disadvantages to both shows! I own both. In fact, I currently have Zyuranger to Megaranger in Super Sentai and MMPR to Super Ninja Steel.
Good things about Zyuranger;
While not really any more competent, Rita/Bandora is more evil, constantly wanting to kill or hurt children.
More and better fight scenes!
More Scorpina!
Episodes are more serious.
Bad things about Zyuranger;
Except for the brother story, the characters were a total snooze! We learn almost nothing about the characters! We know little more about the Rangers at the end of the series than at the beginning! We see them only befriending certain children and a couple of half hearted attempts at part time jobs.
The one thing that is far superior in the American version, IMO, are the characters! Right from the start we know these people! Jason is the jock, albeit not a bully! Kimberly is the popular girl! Billy is the nerd! Zack is the hip cool guy! Trini is the shy girl although one who can kick your butt! And Bulk and Skull are the incompetent bullies! We know these people instantly! We have, at some point in our lives met people like this. And, over the course of time, we get to know practically everything about these kids! Like I said, I knew about the same about the Zyurangers at the end as I knew at the beginning! They mostly had zero personalities! I'm at 6 Super Sentai seasons currently and that only seems to be the case in Zyuranger as the other seasons explore the lives of the Rangers. I will hopefully continue with Gingaman next month.
i think the pr are worse though their personalitys are way to stereotypical for teens
I love the theme song from the super sentai all of it, is so good and so catchy a bit better then some of the power rangers theme song :)
PR has some good music and some bad music if it comes to openings while every SS opening is gold
Dai-Satan (30, 31 & 47-50)
Witch Bandora
Kai (Dahl Tribe Prince Kai) (47-50)
Grifforzer
Lamy (19-50)
Totpat
Bookback
Pleprechaun
Golems (1-29)
Dokiita Golems (29-50)
Zyuranger rocks 😊
Him explaining the power rangers stuff makes my head hurt wait why does my head feel like it’s gonna 🤯
Just realized the ancient civilization had Greco-Roman columns before Greece or Rome
I'm glad I'm not the only one who loves the Dairanger theme
This may have been said earlier,but when tommy came back as the black dt ranger came back,it’s because the SPD team went backwards in time to when the dt powers were still active
OOOHH!!! I BOUGHT A PINK THUNDERBIKE WHEN I WAS A BABY FROM A GARAGE SALE FOR 2$
Has anyone got a link for Zyuranger?
My thing about them getting their powers back is like I don't think that a set of Ranger powers can ever actually be erased from the Morphin Grid. Only the catalyst used to make the connection. Like you could always make another morpher and another way to link to the grid if you tried.
I'm just wondering how Saban would have sanitized Radiguet.
I think the comic books explain why the power coins still have juice or something. I understand that forever red is fan service, but there's a recent crossover with Jason in beast morphers
the end of the mighty morphin era is ironic as the extended version of the theme song literally says and I quote "no one can ever take them down".
Bro I'm right here with you. I've seen a couple season of modern era super Sentai...yeah it's on a whole different level lol.
I can't wait until you get to Gokaiger and Gosaiger (iirc) the one with the angels and the one with the space pirates.
We had internet in 93 it was just dial-up based.
Im not even into this but the first 10 minutes are golden
So mention of the TMNT withing the PW universe, there is new MMPR comics where the TMNT are given the Power Rangers’ powers. It’s super cool ‼️
Bad fan fiction
There is also one episode shortly after "Green with Evil" where "Tommy" morphs but strangely appears on a flat roof in white with the Green triangular shaped thing on clearly however it's not "Tommy" it is in fact Burai! I wonder if the Producers thought "hey no one will notice"
Its because of the Megaforce keys that all ranger that had lost their powers got them back for that battle.
Wow I’ve learned so much from this. I would of never known the Japanese part of this all.
Adams return as the black ranger can be easily explained.....rita and zedd destroyed the ninja power coins, however the original powers were not destroyed, but rather damaged beyond zordons abilities to repair them and thats the powers adam invoked and as you can remember he may transform but it turned on and off as well as it wasn´t at full power
But his powers were fully restored later in overdrive
@@zeokingsilver You are right the sentinel knight restored all the "previous rangers powers" except Zander and Bridge. As Zander never lost his powers and Bridge well that just annoys me as he is not even born yet but that's for another day
You should have included a picture of Time Force Pink Ranger Jen Scotts
Saying “Still with me?” As you were speaking about the timeline lol
I literally just finished my first ever watch thru of Zyuranger (and now am working on Dairanger..). Man that was a TRIP for the first few episodes till I adjusted to Zyuranger. I mean I knew it was going to be different, but wow, despite using like half of the same footage the two shows are practically alienly different!
And that nice little silly upbeat credits song, no matter how dire of a cliffhanger 2 parter they just ended on still always was a bit of "wha..??"
Maybe it's just I got used to Zyu by the end, but so far I feel Dairanger is more ....normal? Not the right word? I guess, but less foreign somehow? Even though they used even less Dairanger footage in MMPR lol I'm def enjoying Dairanger, the action is pretty good, we def missed some good stuff (not that they didn't give us some good stuff too filming American unique footage with Zyuranger costumes fighting Dairanger monsters haha)
Hearing you seriously talk about Power Rangers and Super Sentai is making me laugh😂
So... theory about the whole regained powers thing: Tommy's Master Morpher could be the answer. He was working on recreating the powers for years perhaps? All of his work culminating in the Master Morpher.
Zyuranger has me intrigued. But it seems like something I would like more as an adult.
How can we watch the Japanese version
Shout factory tv, it even comes with English subtitles too!
The Shark Cycles are from Kakuranger. Yes, they were changed up so that each individual ranger got one but still... they come from Sentai.
Matt Stark I correct this in the Kakuranger video.
