Action-Adventure Power Rangers 4.0 - Part 2

[Gold Samurai]

Covid-19 might have been a factor in the decision to have less actors in the cast. Here it is


The 45th sentai series has been revealed. It's also the 45th anniversary of super sentai

Our leader is a white ranger called Zenkaiser. He's a mix of the first super sentai red ranger AkaRed and Big One the leader of the 2nd super sentai. He's very retro looking.


Now here comes the controversial part........


The other rangers are robots. They each represent a past sentai. Their heads are tributes to the past sentai

Red- DaiZyuJin (MMPR Megazord)
Yellow- GaoKing (Wild Force megazord)
Pink- MagiKing (Titan Megazord)
Blue- DaiBouken (Overdrive Megazord)

They can also grow into giant robot forms.


The possible reason for these tribute selections

Daizyujin was the first big success incorporating obvious animal motifs into the mecha (even if not the first one - Liveman had the first animal-looking components, but the combined robot just completely lost any motif).

Gaoranger was an explosive success to the point that they were still selling the mecha through the next year while advertising compatibility with Hurricanger's. So it makes sense that it was chosen to represent animal mecha.

For Boukenger, I guess they wanted a vehicle mecha that had obvious tires and vehicle pieces (ruling out all the early Sentai mecha) but wasn't just cars. For Magiking, it's a similar situation. Early Sentai just didn't have "mystic" mecha or anything like that. They might throw them in if there are secondary robots though, but we're still missing a ninja motif at least (and maybe trains too - there only one train team, but tons of train mecha).


Also 2 out of the 4 mecha were from prior anniversary seasons

Gaoranger (25th anniversary)

Boukenger (30th anniversary)



The collectibles this year are called "Sentai Gears"

^Hmmm, this could work. The robot team reminds me of the Phantom Ranger, Blue Senturion, and Ninjor. I loved those "6th Rangers" when they were introduced. Although I don't think Ninjor is entirely robot, but it sure comes across that way at times. I wouldn't turn away from this series because of the robot team, the look of them are sorta interesting. Now, the white ranger suit isn't winning me over though.

Official website has gone live

https://news.tokunation.com/2020/12/20/kikai-sentai-zenkaiger-production-details-announced-70116

The story of Zenkaiger will feature the hero ZenKaiser and his four robot followers uniting against a foe determined to erase all parallel worlds. The unique Sentai Gear will concentrate the powers of past Sentai to aid in combat and further transformations.

Staff sounds impressive

Zenkaiger’s head writer will be Junko Komura whose resume includes Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger & Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger. Long-time Sentai veteran Shojiro Nakazawa will serve as the series’ director, while veteran suit actor Hirofumi Fukuzawa will take up the role of action director once again. The series will be produced by Shinichiro Shirakura, previously known for several Kamen Rider shows.

An official cast reveal for Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger is currently scheduled for January 15 2021! The series itself will begin on March 7 2021!

Uh Oh. We have major leaks. Highlights

-We get another Navi type of character
-Civilian forms confirmed
-Half and Half combinations confirmed
-GearTlinger revealed( The morpher/changer)

Zyouhger reference. Lion get's dreadlocks in civilian form

-All the character info has been translated

ZenKaiser- Goshikida Kaito is a young man who wants to be #1 in any field, if doesn’t matter what. “He’s man who goes from 0 to 1.” Usually just a happy goof, if his switch is activated he becomes a “hot headed fool.” He considered everyone his friend and often
invades personal space. In any case, he rushes at everything with “Full Power Full Throttle”


ZenkaiJuran, “Juran” - Actually the oldest member of the team. He thinks of himself a as cool and reserved old man, but he’s actually an annoyingly stubborn Kikainoid. Even though he’s a mechanical lifeform, he’s bad at technology, and is a muscle-brained powered type. He’s a fierce friend and values his relationships, and hits it off immediately with Kaito. He loves parties and being the center of attention!

ZenkaiGaon “Gaon” - A “natural airhead” Kikainoid who is peaceful and considered humanity as just one among animal-kind. Conversely, he doesn’t get along with his own kind, and is rather cold to other mechanical life forms. His speciality is cooking. He is very diligent preparing meals for Kaito. Could it be perhaps it’s like feeding your pet? He’s a “my pace” kind of character.

ZenkaiVroon, “Vroon” - A serious “class president” type character. He loves learning but hasn’t had a chance to receive formal schooling & there’s a lot he doesn’t know. There’s a lot he is interested in knowing and sometimes his questions will be annoying or dark, unintentionally He loves cleanliness and his speciality is cleaning. He has a habit of falling in love with people (no matter their race.)

ZenkaiMagine, “Magine” - She considers herself reserved and shy, but at times she is actually quite brazen! She loves magic, the occult and non-scientific things. She becomes intensely obsessed with those things she loves, and is basically an otaku. As a mechanical life form, she sees humanity as “fantasy” and is incredibly interested in it. In contrast with Vroon, she is the type to never clean up!

Goshikida Isamu and Goshikida Mitsuko- Kaito’s parents. They’re professors who discovered the existence of parallel worlds, and are currently missing.

Goshikida Yatsude - Kaito’s grandmother who runs a sweets shop/cafe called “Colorful”. He lives with her.

Secchan - A mechanical bird that was left to Kaito by his parents. When the enemy invades, he suddenly starts talking!

Animal/vehicle form names for the Kikainoids- GaonLion, JuranTyranno, MaginDragon, VroonDump. Kikai Henkei is what it’s called when the robots shift to their mecha forms. ZenkaiOh JuraGaon, VrooMagine, ZenkaiOh JuraMagine ZenkaiOh VrooGaon

GearTlinger- A gun-type henshin device developed by Kaito’s parents. By setting SentaiGears “condensed versions of Super Sentai Powers” into it, you can transform into a Zenkaiger of that Sentai’s type (Robo combo only) Also allows ZenkaiJuran & the rest to grow giant & combine

SentaiGears (Gears used by the heroes)- Condensed versions of the “Super Sentai”who exist across the many parallel worlds. Allowing the Zenkaiger to transform, they can also be used to call on those Sentai’s powers.

KikaiTopia- Of the many parallel worlds that exist, it’s a world that is home to Mechanical Lifeforms known as “Kikainoids.” The majority of Kikainoids are beings of good, but the current rulers, the “Evil Dynasty Tojitendo” and rules them with fear and an iron fist.

KikaiTopia Dynasty Tojitendo- The organization who rules over KikaiTopia with an iron fist.

TojiruGears (Gears the villains use)- Using parallel world tech (misuse the tech Kaito’s parents created), worlds are “tojikometa” (locked up) & gears are created. TojiruGears can be set in the minions & call forth the power of those locked up worlds, summoning monsters from them.

....This is the next Sentai/Power Rangers?

Yes. Check the last page for more information.


I doubt it will get adapted into Power Rangers with rumors swirling Hasbro and Sentai have gone their separate ways.

Sentai now has more freedom to experiment (One actor + four suited characters)

....yikes. Yeah I am so glad that we're getting away from Sentai. Love em for giving PR to us and half the teams have been great but they've just been getting more and more outrageous as the years have gone by.

I don't see why outrageous is bad.

 

[Primal Slayer]

I don't see why outrageous is bad.

I'm not into outrageous things.

 

[Kirmit]

I wouldn’t say they were outrageous, more overly designed, like they didn’t know when to stop.

 

[smallville fan]

....This is the next Sentai/Power Rangers?

I feel like this is giving credence to those Hasbro making their own Power Rangers rumours.

Also given that the show is leaving Netflix, who's binging seasons now? I'm just going through my favourite In Space episodes right now.

It's stupid of Hasbro to not re-up their deal with Netflix. Unless you're going to HBO Max...you're just losing that audience.

 

[smallville fan]

I don't know if this is real or not but this would be hilarious if this happened. Realistically I just see him as a speaking extra playing a sensei from some other dojo at the upcoming All-Valley (think Topanga Karate or something)

 

[Sithborg]

Caught the premiere. Okay, I guess.

Though Henge Men is a very, very good name for the minions....

 

[Primal Slayer]

I saw that they introduced the Morphin Masters from the comics into the show which is cool. Of course this is a "childs" show and just around for merch so story be damned but I wish they would stop introducing powers hidden on Earth.

And of course its sad that went from a series that gave us Mesogog

To just the easy route of a full on dinosaur suit whose mouth doesnt even move.

 

[The Caped Knight]

New fan made series featuring various Rangers from the past (Andros, Zane ) and the future with Spd

 

[Primal Slayer]

Congrats on them actually getting it actually made compared to all the others...however...half of them forgot how to pose for a photo? lol

It was decent for what it is and the budget they have. Half of them can.not. act....like cringe straight up but ill stay tuned.
