lol yea, they're the true and original power rangers. The Saban rangers used footage from Sentai. Copy and pasted. Saban used US actors to fill in the gaps for the dialogue scenes. It's just the Japanese cast in the zyuranger fights with the clay monsters for 3 seasons. It was heavily edited.It does look just like power rangers! Thats cool.
Yeah I was talking to @tonychu about this earlier and he was saying the same thing.
YES! Super Sentai, so good. Always so much better than Power Rangers, but I still love Power Rangers
Apparently its the same show, same monsters, same fight scenes. I heard the yellow ranger in their version was a dude though.
Yep, very much the same show, just repackaged with new characters and the storylines were modified quite a lot.
They call him Boi. Each Zyuranger represents their tribe and were chosen to receive their power from the guardian beast gods.
Dime Tribe Knight Boi
Dime Tribe Knight Boi (ダイム族ナイト ボーイ, Daimu Zoku Naito Bōi) is TigerRanger (タイガーレンジャー, Taigā Renjā) of the Zyurangers and the "Warrior of Hope." Boi is the youngest and most curious member of the team at 15 years old (17 as of Super Sentai World, 34 years old in Gokaiger, and 36 years old in...

I wonder why they made him a girl in the American version? To be more inclusive?
I have no clue. I can't find any source on why they changed gender. I actually liked Boi. He's a good character. Here are some comparisons between him and Trini.
Also....you can watch the show for free on YouTube. There's a playlist. I actually felt it was better.
Interesting list. I heard the actress that played the yellow ranger passed away a long long time ago too. RIP
Having watched Super Sentai and then watching Saban's version, I can't say that I agree. There are some major differences between the original Japanese show and the American adaptation. In the Japanese version, the Mega Zord is a deity named Daizeyuzin who gave the Zyurangers their powers. The Zyurangers are knights who are millions of years old. Each knight was chosen by Daizeyuzin was selected from different tribes.
The dinosaur spirits sometimes refuse to aid the Zyurangers in their time of need.
Bandora is Daizeyuzin's sworn enemy.
Prince Geki and the Zyurangers had to go through great lengths to get their legendary weapons from the Land of Despair. It was a trial given to them by Daizeyuzin to demonstrate that they were worthy to be his champions. While Zordon automatically just gave the Power Rangers their legendary weapons.
Zordon and Alpha 5 are only part of the american adaptation as well as Lord Zedd and are from another galaxy while SS Zyuranger is more fantasy (dungeons and dragons) like.
Jason and the other rangers were just randomly chosen by Zordon. Prince Geki and his comrades were trained by their tribes and spiritually chosen by their deity.
Prince Byurai, the dragon zyuranger was already chosen by the Dragon Caesar and was already evil. He was Prince Geki's (the tyrano Zyuranger) brother and wanted to rule the world as well as murder his brother. He chose to ally with Witch Bandora (Rita Repulsa) temporarily to achieve this goal. He chose out of his own free will to wield the evil legendary sword Hellfriede as his weapon to gain more power. He never becomes the White Deiranger unlike Tommy Oliver as that is a completely different character from Gosei Super Senta Deiranger and Bandora is not the villain in that show.
Kou is a child and is the Kibaranger.
Kou of the Howling New Star
Kou of the Howling New Star ("吼新星" コウ, "Kōshinsei" Kō) is KibaRanger (キバレンジャー, Kiba Renjā, Fang Ranger) of the Dairangers. He is a 9-year old (27 in Gokaiger) who manages to extract Yufang's Byakkoshinken. The youngest and shortest of all the Rangers in the entire Sentai series, being only nine...

I htink Saban's power ranger show is leagues different by comparison and are far from being the same thing.
Well, yeah, story wise they're radically different, I won't disagree with that. I guess what I meant there was that they repackaged Super Sentai scenes and added Westernized characters and plotsHaving watched Super Sentai and then watching Saban's version, I can't say that I agree.

Too bad they couldn't just take it and give Super Sentai English Dub instead. SS Zyurangers and Goesie Sentai Dairanger were a masterpiece. I have to say that I really liked Kou seeing as he was a pretty perverted kid and downright likable lol.
Sentai does such a great job of telling a good story. It's still a kids show and it still has over the top monsters, but the story is so much better. It's a shame we never got that in English, but I still hold a soft spot for Power Rangers
I don't know. Some parents might not agree. Because there's some major occult stuff midway through the show. Bandora is a witch follower of Dai-Satan. She worships him. They cut a lot of that out for Fox's MPPR because...you know how superstitious some Americans are. Most Xtian parents would flip shit if they walked in on their kid watching this episode.
Dai-Satan
Dai-Satan (大サタン, Dai Satan, lit."Great Satan") was the true leader of the Bandora Gang and the true main antagonist of Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger who desired to turn the Earth into a lifeless wasteland. Taking the appearance of a massive disembodied head; Dai-Satan first appeared 170 million years...

Sounds like their story was more interesting than ours.
Absolutely true for each and every season of Super Sentai vs Power Rangers. So much more effort was put into the storylinesSounds like their story was more interesting than ours.
I wonder which franchise made more money?
Sentai, has to be. It was around long before Power Rangers and has a huge following stillI wonder which franchise made more money?
