One thing is for sure...if they remove all the pre-Zyuranger suits, Saban will have to put their act together and work on many new action scenes...while Samurai is mostly using Shinkenger footage.
Not to mention the trouble if some of these teams ever get an auxiliary mecha.

It's a moot point. The only people who would possibly be scratching their heads over the pre-90s suits in Gokaiger are people who both 1.) Have been watching Power Rangers loyally since MMPR to know which suits have and haven't made PR appearances and 2.) Are completely unaware that PR is adapted from Sentai and that it had a long history prior to MMPR.

How many people like that do you think actually exist?

The target audience of Power Rangers is kids 10 and under. These kids likely haven't seen ANY of the 90s or early 00s Power Rangers. Jetman and JAKQ suits aren't going to feel any more unfamiliar and out-of-place to them than Zyuranger and Gingaman.

So they'll just use the footage straight up and make up new team names. "We're in trouble! Everyone, use your Kung-Fu Ranger powers!" *Dairanger henshin* "Time for a boost, guys! It's Speed Ranger time!" *Turboranger henshin* Seems pretty self-explanatory to me.

That's easier to say than done. What they are going to call Battle Fever then? Disco Rangers? How about Goggle V? :loltongue:

Gokaiger in the US will probably just focus on the "Space Pirate" theme of the series, removing most of the the homages for the previous generations, including the other Ranger Keys, and, if we're lucky, we'll get another episode like Once A Ranger....

For any individual ranger teams that they think are too silly to use, they'll probably just cut those battles. Like they do for individual battles in filler eps they've chosen not to adapt in this and every other season.

Or they'll leave the wacky stuff in and have the characters make in-suit wisecracks about it. Either way. I mean, it's Power Rangers. :loltongue:

Cutting out individual battles is different from trying to cut out all the non-Pirate footage, though. I mean seriously, that would leave them with... what, a minute of fight footage per ep? Plus you're losing most of the show's actual show-stopper moments and SFX. At that point, why even bother?

PR episodes are rarely straight translations of Sentai episodes. Plus there are usually only about 30 PR episodes in the series compared to about 50 Sentai, so Saban wouldn't have to use any of the Pre-Zyuranger footage at all. They'd likely just keep the Zyu and later stuff and work around that.

I'm curious though if they'd comment on the Yellow Rangers with skirts. It's been kinda cool seeing the skirts added to the uniforms that probably should have had skirts, but didnt, because the original Sentai version was male...

You're nuts if you think they would do that. The rangers keys and the other rangers will be huge toy sellers. Saban also won't spend money to film the required US footage needed to supliment the taking away of the sentai footage.

Yeah, I highly doubt that Saban would use the suits from Goranger to Jetman, as well as doubting them using the 5 Dairanger suits.

Plus the male actors that played as Ki Ranger, Denji Yellow, Vul Panther, Goggle Yellow, Dyna Yellow, Yellow Lion, Yellow Turbo, Yellow Owl, Tiger Ranger, Kirin Ranger, Ninja Yellow, Ginga Yellow, Go Yellow, Time Yellow, Gao Yellow, Hurricane Yellow, & Magi Yellow were the true, actual yellow sentai members, as the actresses that played as Blue Dolphin, Blue Swallow, Hurricane Blue, & Magi Blue are the true, actual Blues.

Same with Big One & GekiChopper being true, actual male sentai senshi extras.

Joe, Ahim, & Luka are just imitating their styles when transforming into them.
