#PowerRangers #PowerRangersZeo #SuperSentai - Zábava
The Ohrangers series was an anniversary special and the costumes looked a lot like the Gorangers. it was supposed to be a dark series but there were terrorist attacks and natural disasters in Japan, so they rewrote the series to make it less dark. That's why we have dance scenes
Everytime When They're going For a bit more darker series in Kamen Rider or Super Sentai Mother Nature and The world says : No
@@chinyang1200Kamen Rider black sun would like to have a word with you
@@Kamenriderbuster2022 a lot of things happen in a year dude
Don't forget Sexy Rambo.
Was it tojo hideki s son leading them?
CarRanger was a comedy Sentai, heavy on puns and physical comedy. However in Japan the audience was used to the new season of Sentai being only loosely connected to the previous one only by being the next group. OhRanger had comedy, to break the serious main story. CarRanger was 95% goofy with a sprinkle of drama.
OhRanger was indeed one of the most overpowered teams. The theme was the villains were very overpowered as well. Then CarRanger was literally a space criminal hot rod gang.
I agree that Zeo to Turbo was pretty ho-hum but the series weren't meant to connect. I think when the US started Power Rangers In Space they got a better understanding that carrying over characters has to be done delicately and new rosters are the simplest way to not get things too complicated.
"There are more zords than the last season and that was already too many" Oh boy does Wild Force/Gaoranger have something to say
The filming and CGI upgrades were solely for shitting non stop mecha for Gaoranger.
arguably Zords are the most important part of the show given that's all kid really cared about.
@@Slixer I, personally, cared more about the friendships and relationships. I was shipping couples before "shipping" become a thing. lol I was always like, "....Now kiss her!" "Now kiss him!". lol
@@Slixer why i agree zords were always hype as a kid you just know that the amount of zords was made purely for commercial purposes. The more zords there were the more toys were sold.
In all fairness those were some great zords
When we met Tanya at the end of MMPR S3/MMAR she revealed that she had explorer parents who were lost in a jungle and she was left with a tribe in Africa, where they were exploring.
Still the one black person going back to Africa 😂😂
@@champgreen9985 XD for real! she was replaced by an actual African
@@champgreen9985 I mean they’re going on heritage quests, so that still makes sense.
At the same time s3 was the weakest season
@DHRFIGHTERPODCAST in my opinion season 3 was the best season out of first 2 I love the groove of everything only thing I didn't like was when they turn them into kids I felt like that was dumb to me but everything else was really good.
The machine empire remnants in Forever Red are reused Beetleborg costumes.
That, and Serpent Terra being destroyed so easily, made Forever Red unforgiveable. I'll throw in suspension of disbelief for the various red rangers getting their powers back, but those, nope.
Juuko b-fighters! D:
@@joshzerofactor996 serpentara's destruction via a new toy was an editorial mandate. If they didnt promote a new toy, forever red would not have been allowed to go into production
@@adolfopaezdiaz4371 ikr?
Sadly yes.
Early sentai had mostly been entirely military and technology based until Zyuranger. Just mentioning it since you've been experiencing the series a certain way right now. I have been enjoying watching your thoughts on sentai as you go in open minded and experience it for the first time.
According to Super Sentai Lore, you have Ancient Civilizations who's like Next Door Neighbors with Trilobites & Armored Fishes, & a Smilodon & Mammoth are Considered "Dinosaurs".
Military and technology based until Zyuranger?
@@dennistaylor9495 just most of them
@@conradojavier7547 Zyuranger and Ohranger uses different universes until Gokaiger's greatest treasure in the universe retcons Super Sentai seasons from using their self-contained universes to have all the seasons uses same universe
This wasn't always the case as some seasons had things like Animals, Science, Cars (Turboranger did it first!), Constellations with Changeman btw this was part of a trilogy known by us as the Space Saga as all those season had space themed rangers. Jetman definately had the military theme in it heavily and it was largely an homage to Gatchaman.
i find it interesting that you liked ohranger and its tone as alot of sentai fans arent a fan of the tonal shifts as it was originally intended to be really dark in the vain of a jetman or liveman
You seem to not realize that Zeo had a reduced budget due to declining ratings, so they couldn't do really as much. This is a big reason why the show shifted over to using a lot more sentai material. It was a cost cutting measure.
that and Saban was none union
The comedy episodes in ohranger were fun and the dark episodes were great the final episode was the best😊
This entire channel is weird, he’s analyzing “Power Rangers” in a very critical perspective when it’s a TV show made for kids. It’s not suppose to be a S class written show.
@@thaiduitx Just because it's for kids, doesn't mean it shouldn't be of good or even great quality.
It's s kids show not a Hollywood movie like a Tarantino flick or a Spielberg's feature presentation.
"Cause Sexy Rambo" is gonna be a great shirt idea.
The Japanese Zeo Rangers not being able to stay morphed for a long time could have been used to expand why the Zeo Rangers switched to Turbo. The powers were killing them.
It IS a much spoken theory out there. The same way the Gold Ranger's powers were killing Jason and don't forget what the Zeo Crystal did to Zedd!
wasn't there a deleted or at least conceptualized scene in the turbo movie which included that explanation?
@cookieman673 Not fully in the Turbo movie. We only know Zeo powers doesn't work in water....😑
Quick fact. King Ranger's symbol is also the same Kanji in Japanese for King which is Oh(王). And the name Ohranger does mean Kingranger, but it's also a pun on the word Olé as it is the shows main catchphrase.
I wondered about the "Ole" catchphrase.
Because Ohranger or Orenja is pronouced and sounds like Olé in japanese.
Was it sponsored by an orange juice brand?
If it weren't for that terrorist attack in 1995 we would've had the darkest season of Super Sentai since Jetman.
williamhowe1 well that how it is
Was Zeo referencing this with its own tonal shift?
Early episodes: Rita and Zedd run in terror from the almighty Machine Empire and their giant invading space armada
Later episodes: Rita and Zedd return to Earth, trashtalk the Machine Empire to their faces, sic Tenga Warriors and the Impursinator on them, and even bomb them!
BASICALLY FUCK THE AUM SHINRIKYO (TERRORISTS) - YOU RUINED MY CHILDHOOD TV SHOW YOU TWATS.
I'm confused about the 1995 terrorist attack
Man, I wish they kept the same tone from the first few episodes. It got a lot jankier after that retooling for the most part, and I think any potential Goro had was flushed down the toilet with that.

How did you do that?
Zeo ranger logos

I have actually met Mr. Yost a few years ago at a Sac-Con convention, and I never really cared about the fact that he was gay. I mean, he was my hero growing up as a kid and I still see him as my favorite Power Ranger even to this day.
#Itisstillcooltobeblue
He was my mom's favorite ranger. She always wanted a son and got stuck w/ three girls. I think she would have adored having a son like David Yost OR Billy. haha
The Only Blue Power Ranger I Like The Entire Run Of (I Haven't Watched As Much Power Rangers More Of A Sentai/Rider Person)
Yeah, and it’s not like he’s rubbing it in other peoples faces or anything. He was just a chill dude who wants to live his life.

ran into him at new york comic con a few years ago, during a hectic escalator ride to the ground floor. i guess he was rushing for a panel, and i was just wanting to go out for a cigarette.
had like... three minutes of idle talk/banter, really nice guy. the homosexuality seems so irrelevant in the sense that he's just pleasant to be around.
Always felt like Zeo was the Egyptian themed power rangers
Oh man, this was an epic breakdown of the two series. The way you actually went into detail on the stories on Ohranger makes me want to check it out.
I hope you keep this up with Turbo. I need that comparison video in my life.
super powered squadron king ranger is a good sentai huge sentai fan not a power rangers fan you can watch it on the kissasian or shoutfactorytv website recommend watching zyuranger,great ranger,hidden ranger
Ohranger did have to deal with the seran gas attacks in 1995.
That's why the show had to change to being lighthearted when Ohranger was meant to be a callback to 80's sentai.
And an earthquake
Although this isn't really the first time. Gokaiger invited more past heroes after the earthquake to cheer the children up, and Kamen Rider Fourze was lighter than previous Riders, lacking elements like Rider infighting or deaths and evil Riders
surprised you didnt mention the tone shift that happened to ohranger because of the terrorist attacks. Also it's GEKI-SOW SENTAI carrrrrrrrrranger
I definitely have to agree with you about the end of Zeo Rangers. Very anticlimactic. On the bright side, we actually got to see the Rangers broke the ones rather than simply call upon their Zords to fight the giant monster. That was an interesting new twist.
Actually, Kat did morph into the Pink Zeo Ranger once briefly in the Turbo Movie before they got their Turbo forms. As I recall, she was jumping from atop of a waterfall for some reason and she had to morph to survive the drop.
Yep. She morphed while falling into the water. I hadnt even seen the movie in about 25 years but i remember cuz i just watched the vhs that many times lol.
Those little teaser mini-episodes really had me hooked as a kid, I remember how big of a deal it was when the command center blew up and we were all trying to figure out what happened in school and on the playground. Well, those of us anyways who hadn't suddenly 'outgrew' Power Rangers and were 'too cool' for it anymore. We were in the 4th grade at the time, and you just hoped that your VCR timer was set up correctly that day to catch the teaser. Between that, and the 'Earth Shattering' teasers for the 3 part Season 2 with Lord Zedd events, that was some serious business in the MMPR/Zeo era.
Yeah I remember those teaser videos/clips. They were really hyping up Zeo so much. And then Turbo comes along and just ruins it.
@@miahthorpatrick1013 in space saved it though
The reason why we got some light-hearted stuff in a series that started out seriously is real-life events. The series premiered on March 3rd, 1995. On March 20, 1995, there was the Tokyo subway sarin attack which was the deadliest terrorist incident in Japan.
This will be addressed in the next video.
ohranger, while not being the first to have sentai generational crossover, was the one that cemented the "non-consequencial" worldbuilding that most later season follow, with gokaiger being the clearest example (where, at the same time, goseiger ep 50 finishes in early 2011, gokaiger episode 1 is in late february 2011, but in the middle there were both a goseiger film, the 199heroes battle with relative undefined amounts of days where the various robot got trashed, AND the following 3 years passed to recover them. plus percorrence times)
youre doing Gods work with these videos. Ive been trying to piece together what actually happened between Power rangers and Super Sentai
You whipped me back to my childhood with that Mr. Motivator reference! Big fan of Zeo and Ohranger, and this video does a great job of going through them both. Enjoying your content a lot!
There could of been a Turbo and Zeo crossover in power rangers. After the torched been passed would of good episode crossover outside of Alien ranger and zeo crossover
Johnny Yong Bosch has reported that in a deleted scene where Tanya and Adam go to save Jason and Kimberly, they lose their Zeo Powers a la Ninja Quest Part 1 but some of it was transferred to a reserve generator to be turned into the Turbo Powers later in the movie. He even posted the only surviving screenshot on FaceBook
If I remember right, it was stated that Tanya's parents left her with the tribe, and then went missing while they were exploring.
The moon having air has been a thing since the first episode of MMPR. Rita's fortress is open air.
Yes but the Sentai series have nothing to do with eachother
The King Mondo head could’ve been used in the turbo movie to explain why the Rangers had to get the turbo powers. A team up between king Mondo and divatox.
These were a great watch and I enjoyed revisiting moments from PR and Sentai era. I would love it if you continue again with the rest of the Zordon era and if possible the future seasons. I know this series was hard to make but it does pay off in the end.
I love these videos and seeing what super Sentai was like. It makes me really want to go watch them.
I'm still trying to get caught up on my English sub DVD sets of Super Sentai. Missing Go-Go 5 (Lightspeed Rescue) and TimeRanger (should be obvious which series that is for us). Can hardly wait to be caught up then buy GaoRanger (Wild Force) next
There's a toku channel on pluto tv, if you haven't heard about it yet, this comment being a year later than yours.
Wow the machine empire is actually super tragic in Japanese version, which kinda makes the American version seem cheated from this machines realizing they can feel love storyline
This is amazing. I can’t believe how interesting this is from a top-down overall look.
This video deserves more views!! Excellent work!
Never watched the Zeo Rangers so this has been enlightening. Thanks for the video shows you put a lot of time and effort into this. Can't wait for your next one.
My mother never let me watch Power Rangers video in 1996 but now that Netflix has Power Rangers Zeo I'm able to watch them all even at the age of 36
I really like the red blue green pink and yellow colors they use for some teams in Power Rangers and Super Sentai.
I am really loving this series. I hope you keep them up.😁
Ohranger looks better than the awful power rangers zeo but that's my opinion 😊
I love the egyptian motiff of the Zeo rangers.
I don’t see the comment here so I’ll make it.
Tanya actually explained that her parents were explorers when Aisha first met her and the tribe took her in after they disappeared. Zordon also explained that when time was reset after the Zeo Crystal was gathered that their personal histories would change to suit what happened in the past. Hence Tanya’s backstory and surname.
And that was so dumb to me that was lazy writing.
"Married, as cousins." As a someone who studies European history, this is not surprising.
Fair point.
Great review , keep the good work coming sir.
The Zeo season and Turbo movie were being written at the same time by different teams and they each weren't being told what the other was doing. Jackie Marchand, a writer for Zeo, years later, said in an interview that if they known the plot of the Turbo movie, they would have wrapped things up properly and ended the Zeo powers.
Which is why turbo made no sense
People can join the military at 17, if they've graduated and have their parent's permission. I was 22 when I joined the USAF, and my squad mates thought I was 17, so they treated me like a kid. There was also an 18-year-old who looked like he was 28.
I think in large part the reason ZEO just kind of vanished was because..
When USA Zeo was in production..
Car Robo was going full steam in Japan..
While Zeo was in production..
Turbo a Power Ranger Movie was in full original USA and no reused Japan footage..
We all know how well that did in the Box office..
Also probably explains why Zeo just kind of vanished too..
Fun Fact: Ohranger was the Power Rangers Turbo of the franchise as it nearly killed the Super Sentai series
It is evil soccer mom group all most kill power rangers series
No it didn't. That's Fiveman you're mistaking. Yes; Ohranger did do poorly on the TV ratings but the toy sales were some of the best they've had. Fiveman did poorly in TV ratings and toy sales and was the series that almost killed Super Sentai if it wasn't for Jetman afterwards.
These videos are great man can’t stop watching
Zeo has one of the best songs in my opinion
Cousins getting married is one of those things that isn't quite a taboo in Japan like it is in western culture. Not sure why that is. Then again, it doesn't seem to be a taboo in royal families or the south either for that matter.
As someone who also didn't watch this one until adulthood, I loved Zeo, but Ohranger was a treat beyond my expectations. Dairanger is my favorite, but Oh comes at a close second.
@Kyroh Rin Shout Factory TV.
I enjoyed this so much... Very well done and I will gladly watch many more...
More are coming.
@@PomeloRetro Zeo was a very good season I agree... It was a real advance for the rangers powers and arsenal as well as the machine empire over shadowing Rita and zedd... I just wondered would Billy have been the yellow ranger if he hadn't handed his crystal over .. or would he be still blue.. Tanya only had a skirt as she was a girl.. ( I know it wouldn't have happened as it was Sentai).. but just food for thought.. it just a huge shame Billy never got a chance to be a ranger again..
A big irish Fan here.. I love your channel. Your the first person I actually go , yes !!!! I want to listen to you, I am a big power rangers fan..,please keep up the videos...
Chouriki Henshin!
Its Morphin Time!
super powered squadron king ranger is better have only seen the pilot episode of mmpr when i was nine in 1993 seen about 13 sentais including hurricanger and gorenger from 1975
Kingranger is hands down one of my most favorite reveals and characters
I wish that the Defector episode should of been like it’s Ohranger episode counterpart. Wouldn’t kill PRZ too have an episode with a tragic end.
I love your work on these videos. They are really fantastic. :)
I have very much enjoyed watching all your comparisons upto Zeo and Ohranger and am looking forward to future comparisons.
Hope all is well. Really looking forward to you doing an episode on the In Space season and the Time Force season. Those were my favorites
The sentai gets kind of confusing after a while when they continue to introduce ancient or lost civilizations that aren't discovered until the time of the threat.
Gold Ranger in Chouriki Sentai Ohranger was actually a Black Ranger.
Did Power Rangers consider him to be a Gold Ranger because Pyramidas is so golden?
I think it is because of the gold shield parts and the fact that after three years of MMPR having a Black Ranger in the default lineup, calling him "the black ranger" wouldnt carry the gravitas of specialness that sixth rangers tended to have.
@@YubelMalevolent Considering his counterpart is literally called *the King Ranger,* gravitas was certainly called for.
@@autobotstarscream765 yeah, makes sense.
@Zoid Gundum Yeah, it was reminiscent of Burai's armor mixed with the Ohrangers' technoarmor bands.
Any chance that there will be a comparison between the lost galaxy and it's Japanese version?
Your PR compares are so fascinating I'm watching it over and over. Today I'm 34 years old. You provide interesting facts that I couldn't notice while was a child. Thanks!
It's already written.
@@PomeloRetro god bless you
the black ranger with the golden shield in season one is what inspired the king ranger in ohranger.
I like the comic's artwork also love how the villains in that Forever Red were pretty much Beetleborgs @13:50
Bacchus-fundo is also known as Bacchus Wrath in English translations. That's because in Japanese, Fundo means Wrath.
There are also subtle dog puns with a lot of the Baranoia names, so you could write Bacchus-Fundo as "Bacchus-Hund" which is Old English for Hound (or hunting dog). Hysteria could also be written as "HysTerrier" and Buldont as "Bull'Dont" (Bulldog).
Keep making these videos they are great!
Cool series, I hope you continue it, as I just subscribed
This was great video!!! Are you
Going to make more of these ??
After discovering Super Sentai I just can’t get back into the American show for the early seasons. Thank you for these great comparisons.
Decent review, but feel free to be more expressive in your emotion. Linkara atop the fourth wall does a review on every season too but his is more enjoyable since he can be more boisterous
I'm loving this kind of videos. Will you be doing more?
Ross Maclellan Yes, hopefully. Although they take about 100hrs each so you'll have to bear with me.
This series is the best!
Normally the first crossover (with the prior series) takes place in the first two thirds of a series. So, the Carranger/Ohranger would take place during the Carranger series, and not the Ohranger series. Meaning that, while it'll be generally canon, it won't necessarily actually fit into canon unless the movie special is referenced in the series episodes.
32:16
Probably pointed out before but Royal families had that custom of marrying their cousins. so yeah, an alien robot prince from a conqueror empire marrying his robot cousin is probably usual business for them.
The Baranoia were probably more European royalty-like than Japanese royalty
wow ive never heard of Super sentai until now this is like going down a rabbit hole, i only ever seen power rangers season 1 and 2, i knew they got the footage from somewhere but this crazy, i wouldnt mind trying to watch all super sentai lol as extreme as it sounds.
Over 2000 thousand episodes so good luck
I'm still trying to get caught up on my English sub DVD sets of Super Sentai. Missing Go-Go 5 (Lightspeed Rescue) and TimeRanger (should be obvious which series that is for us). Can hardly wait to be caught up then buy GaoRanger (Wild Force) next
I watched the Toku Time episodes on Zyuranger to Ohranger which put me off seeing the MMPR-related seasons but Ohranger actually seems interesting to me.
I need to get back to watching Kirameiger & Zero-One now they've returned to TV...
Thanks for the birthday gift
FYI : it was uploaded on my birthday
can't wait to see you review Gokaiger!
You know, I liked Megaforce a good bit more than I did Goseiger, but what they did to Gokaiger with Super Megaforce was damn near unforgivable.
Would love to see more videos like this
How about Masked Rider vs Kamen Rider Black RX and Kamen Rider Dragon Knight vs Kamen Rider Ryuki
Masked Rider was so bad, the creator of Kamen Rider refused to allow the series to be brought to the US ever again. It's actually amazing we got Kamen Rider Dragon Knight at all (although it was MUCH better then the pile of trash that was Masked Rider in the US).
Are you guys going to make more of these? I'm really enjoying the comparison format.
JCLSooty Yes. We are asked this a lot.
Two more episodes have been written but we’ve not been able to film them. For the moment, life and work have taken priority. But we will get around to doing them.
@@PomeloRetro Thank you for your prompt response. I'm looking forward to the next one
This series of videos are awesome! I can’t wait until you get to Engine Sentai Go-Onger Vs. Power Rangers RPM. If you ever want help with the Japanese names, shoot me a message. 😊
When are you going to make more of these videos? They're really good!
Good review!
Great review. I wish that the show would of adapt the comic book version of Zeo, it would of be better than it is now. I love Zeo but it would at more oomph to the season. The end was anticlimatic though.
I know I'm late to the party by quite a few years but I find it deeply ironic that Zyuranger was the magical-focused sentai and Ohranger was a more militaristic focused one and yet the thematics were reversed for the rangers: The MMPR rangers are technology based and the Zeo rangers are more mystical in power.
I can't wait for the next Super Sentai and Power Rangers comparison
I watch both Ohranger and Power Rangers Zeo (in latter, key for literal genie are from MMPR team's Resident Vegan that replaced by the time MMPR rangers got Zeo Powers. I enjoy former better not only the villains levels both NYC and Paris to the ground there)
17-18th episode of Ohranger are live-action Astroboy
Tanya literally mentions to Aisha in Alien Rangers that her parents were explorers and got lost while on an expedition, and that the tribe found her and took her in...
Very thorough.
18:05 from what I understand when Japan license American products they don't think twice about the western version. It normally works out so this is luck or the recycling of sets.
8:49 - A few months later upon release, Power Rangers: Soul of the Dragon confirms Tommy's and Kat's relationship.
In the comic books at least.
That is only cannon in the comic books, alright?! Along with the Pink Ranger mini-series and Power Rangers Hyperforce.
Neo-Xgray87 Actually, it’s kinda confirmed Tommy and Kat are married in the show. Why? Well, in Dino Thunder, Catherine Sutherland was originally gonna reprise her role as Kat and being brainwashed, so she’s the counterpart of Mahoro/Jannu, but due to Sutherland being pregnant, they created Elsa instead.
I'm ready to see his video on Turbo vs the carrangers and then in space vs megaranger and then the lost galaxy vs its super sentai counterpart and so on
Just started Oh Ranger on Shout TV and I'm enjoying it.
Thanks for the video.
32:19 Half the U.S.: "What's wrong with that?"
Well Tommy and Kat got together because their son J.J. became the SPD Green Ranger
The idea of Cousins getting married isn't that weird in some countries
In some countries in the past families would have their children marry inside the family line usually cousins
I thought I was the only one that noticed that part in oh Ranger. 😳
Wasn't that something royalty would do too
u do know the actor playing the Ohranger commander is AkoRanger from GORanger the very first Sentai show.
He waa also Big One from J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai and Kamen Rider V3.
@@xgray2012 do not forget Torin from Kyoryuger. sounds like he worked on Super Sentai like Machiko Soga except on the good side instead the villian.
25:09-25:23 I wish that happened in PRZ.
Not into the gay lifestyle, but I'm proud of David Yost for overcoming the negativity and finding peace in his life. Would love to meet him and hang out. Still the best and my favourite Blue Ranger
