The heroes, except red, will have an animal form called “Jûman”, making them the first ones to have three forms in all Sentai history.
An Animal Form The first Super Sentai Series “Himitsu Sentai Goranger” started back in 1975.
We got hold of the information about the series that will mark the 40th anniversary of the brand.
The heroes of this year series will consist of KAZAKIRI Yamato, a human zoologist, and four “Jûman”.
Jûman are entities with an animal face that come from another world called “Jûland”.
After being chased from their home by an alien attack, they defend Earth with the help of Yamato.
The five heroes transform thanks to their King (Ôja) licence the “Jûohchanger”.
Jûoheagle/Yamato (red), Jûohshark/Sera (pun with sailor) (blue), Jûohlion/Leo (yellow), Jûohelephant/Tusk (green),
and Jûohtiger/Amu (pun with Amur tiger) (white) will become “Jûoh”, the Kings of land, sea and sky of the
animal kingdom, and rise against the enemy.
For the first time since Hyakujû Gaoranger, the series will use (aired Feb. 2001 to Feb. 2002) an animal motif.
Except Red, the members will have a Jûman form. This will be the first time in Sentai history
for the heroes to have 3 forms (note of translator. Magiranger? ToQ 6Gô?).
“The story had to be about humans and animals tagging along, so we thought of a big scale Sentai where animals would cooperate to protect the planet” explained the creators of the show. Their signature phrase is “Don’t underestimate this planet!”
[skipped parts about red actor, irrelevant to the story] Translation of http://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20151226-00000004-nataliee-movi The 40th Sentai Series “Dôbutsu Sentai Jûôger” will start airing on Feb. 14th, 2016 on TV Asahi. The 40th anniversary series of the Sentai brand, that started back in 1975 with “Himitsu Sentai Goranger”,
will have an animal motif, the first one in 15 years when it was used in “Hyakujû Sentai Gaoranger”.
The heroes of the series are one human zoologist, Kazakiri Yamato, and four Jûman. Jûman are entities with
an animal face coming from another world called “Jûland”, and were chased from their home after an attack by space aliens. The Jûmen have three forms, their Jûman animal form, a human form and a hero form. This will be a first in Sentai history.
The members of the Jûôger are Jûoheagle (red), Jûohshark (blue), Jûohlion (yellow), Jûohelephant(green), and Jûohtiger (white).
Thanks to their King license, the Jûohchanger, they will transform to fight against the Space Bandit “Desgarian” (Deathgalien?).
Thanks to their special abilities, like flying thanks to his wings for Jûoheagle, or swim in the water thanks to her dorsal fin for Jûohshark,
the Jûohger will rush to the fight freely (and there’s a pun here using the 4 kanji composed word 縦横無尽, that’s read “Jûô”mujin), giving the audience intense action scenes.
The kids’ heroes will unite under the keyword “Honnô Kakusei” (Instinct awaken). [skipped parts about actors, irrelevant to the story].

Awake! 40th Super Sentai Series !
The heroes of this anniversary series will use mighty animals as motifs.
Dôbutsu Sentai Jûohger.
Humans and animals cooperate to defend Earth? The first heroes of a kind in all Sentai history are born ! The Super Sentai brand started in 1975 with “Himitsu Sentai Goranger”.
In 2016, the brand will have its 40th installment with Dôbutsu Sentai Jûohger.
The series will have animals as a main motif for the first time in 15years since 2001,
when “Hyakujû Sentai Gaoranger” the 25th anniversary series was aired.
Under the keyword ““Honnô Kakusei” (Instinct awaken), the 5 youngsters will defend Earth.
The 5 Jûohger are a human zoologist Kazakiri Yamato and 4 Jûman.
Jûman are entities with an animal face that come from another world called “Jûland”.
After being chased from their home by an alien attack, they defend Earth with the help of Yamato.
The Jûmen have three forms, their Jûman form, a human form and a hero form. This will be a first in Sentai history.
The heroes called Jûôger are Jûoheagle (red), Jûohshark (blue), Jûohlion (yellow), Jûohelephant(green), and Jûohtiger (white).
The kings of earth, sea and sky of the animal kingdom will form this dream team.
They are the Kings (Oh) of the animals (kemono, also read Jû), the Jûoh.
They will transform with their King License, the Jûohchanger.
Flying in the great sky, swimming through the vast sea, scampering across the plains…
they will fight freely (and there’s a pun here using the 4 kanji composed word 縦横無尽, that’s read “Jûô”mujin)
in the name of justice against the Space Bandit Desgarian (Deathgalien?)
The main highlight of this show will be the action scenes where our heroes will deploy their special abilities.
Jûoheagle has wings and can fly. Jûohlion and Jûohtiger will use their sharp claws to attack the enemy.
Jûohelephant will used his feet to stomp on the enemy. Jûohshark will use her dorsal fin to swim freely in the water.
Be prepared for intense and showy “wild animal action”.
Also, the gimmick of this year robot is really fun. The birth of the robot will surprise you like magic does.
Be prepared for the legend that this year heroes, using the wildness they discovered, will offer the audience.
