Super Sentai

Every season of Super Sentai is in the same continuity.

While they're officially out of continuity, the team-up movies almost always have both Sentai teams and both Big Bad groups have some connection to each other. (For instance, Doggie Kruger in Dekaranger and MagiMother in Magiranger both knowing the same restaurant owner). The connections are continuity by definition.

Also, neither the Sentai nor the Big Bads have any problems with the "strange new world" they're suddenly thrust in during the team-up. They even form several cross-team attacks as if they planned them in advance. Clearly, they're all from the same continuity, just stretched out over several generations.

  • Confirmed in Boukenger Vs. Super Sentai, the 30th anniversary movie (AkaRed: "Surely, you know of the 30 Super Sentai that, even now, protect the world?"). Incidentally, the above logic also applies to Kamen Rider, although Decade complicates it somewhat.
    • Jossed by the Kamen Rider Decade and Shinkenger crossover. It is repeatedly noted that the Shinkenger world has never had a Kamen Rider. But Kamen Rider V 3 and Kamen Rider Amazon are shown in the Goranger and JAKQ teamup. So Goranger through Go-onger take place in the same universe, but Shinkenger takes place in a separate universe. Of course, there is Shinkenger vs. Go-onger to think about (though the fact that Go-onger involves parallel universes, including one themed around samurai, makes it easier to reconcile.)
      • Not really. They could of easily forgotten about that, being from a small special over 30 years ago.
  • Actually, this is contradicted by most of the team-up movies, who tend to include some non-canon elements (see below).
  • Thing about using Decade for continuity purposes is that the AR World thing makes it impossible - we don't know they met the same Shinkengers we know. Rangers and Riders may not run into each other outside teamups, but... Occam's Razor seems to make "That's because every series is really in its own dimension and the teamups take place in yet another 'teamup dimension!'" unlikely. Even in a shared universe, Superman Stays Out of Gotham.

Each Super Sentai series does take place in a separate continuity (with rare exceptions, such as Denshi Sentai Denziman and Taiyou Sentai Sun Vulcan), but there is also a main "Sentai World" where every team has existed.

This Sentai World is where the Vs. movies take place. Presumably it works like Super Robot Wars, changing various elements of the Canon of the main series in order to reconcile them.

  • That's confirmed by pretty much every VS movie, if you pay attention to details, for example:
    • In Ohre vs Kakuranger both Bacchus Wrath and Ganmajin show up, while in Ohranger Ganmajin first appeared after Bacchus Wrath was destroyed.
    • In Abaranger vs Hurricaneger Rije is still a child, and yet MaxRyuOh appears.
    • In Magiranger vs Dekaranger, Nigh and Mare have their Wolzaphones and yet Wolzard is shown as being able to use magic as well, which contradicts what was established in the show.
    • In Go-onger vs Gekiranger, both Engine-Oh G-12 and Yogostein appear, which is technically possible, but wouldn't make much sense given the way events unfolded in the show.
  • I think Gokaiger pretty much confirm it.

Doggie Kruger from Dekaranger is gay and fooling around with his officers.

Despite having feelings for Swan-san, neither she nor Doggie show any hint of consummating their relationship. Doggie seems to tolerate the "puppy" treatment he's given by the rest of the SPD team (especially the guys) more than he does with Swan. And, there is so little Doggie/Swan-san Fan Work out there that it defies Rule 34 (and when there is, it's just like every other Rule 34 fanwork out there: that is, Doggie as submissive BDSM plaything).

Professional abstinence, or closeted slut puppy? The world may never know...

Power Rangers is a TV show in the Super Sentai universe, just like Super Sentai is for Power Rangers.

Pretty straightforward here: Power Rangers Dino Thunder showed a Super Sentai TV show that the Rangers watched. By the Law of Universal Symmetry, there must be a Power Rangers show the Sentai watch.

  • Interestingly, this may be true. One Abaranger episode has a character from Mai's favorite cartoon get yoinked by the Monster of the Week (along with numerous real people). When the boy's father begs the Rangers for help (that's Canon - cartoon characters talked to them!), they ask how he knows about them. He says that the boy was their biggest fan. "He watches your show every week!" So, Power Rangers wouldn't be the only show they watched that also watched them on TV.

The Five Tribes from Zyuranger are descended from stranded time travellers from the Timeranger era.

It would explain how people could be alive in the Mesozoic era & why their "Guardian Deities" look suspiciously mechanical. A team of paleontologists & other scientists from approx. 3000 A.D. are sent back in time to study the local wildlife & geology & to bring back specimens, but their timeship crashes & leaves them stranded. They somehow manage to convert the ship's remains into a prehistoric animal-themed Combining Mecha (or, knowing how technology works in the Sentai-verse, it was always a combining mecha & they just made a few modifications) to protect themselves from hungry dinos & make the best of a bad situation. They live off the land & raise many children. After many generations, all record of their origin is lost, & the people begin worshiping the robots as gods.

The Dino Curry shop from Abaranger is an Inn Between the Worlds

Specifically, between the various Super Sentai continuities. Every season after that one has had the mentor to the team stop by there and meet each other. For all we know, a few Kamen Riders may eat there on occasion, too. By the time the Go-onger vs. Gekiranger team-up comes about, we'll probably find out that Miu and Hiroto had lunch with Miki over the latest training technology.

  • Hanto canonically worked a part-time job there.
  • It exists in the Power Rangers universe as well; since there is only one Power Rangers continuity, the curry shop is used to get footage for the Super Sentai show into the Power Rangers world, and Power Rangers footage into any Super Sentai continuity that has a Power Rangers show.
  • Apparently Doggie,Swan from Deka;Miyuki from Magi;Makino-sensei from Bouken;Miki from Geki were all customers there.
  • There is a slight possibility that Genta studied there temporally.

Sentai and the Space Sheriff Trilogy are in the same continuity

In Sunvulcan, the fugitive Inazuma Ginga is mentioned to have escaped from the Space Police and is hiding on Earth. Add to that its prequel Denjiman, where we get our first glimpse at Alternate Dimensions with the pocket universe the Vader Clan live in. While not as outlandish or large as Makuu Space and the Strange Dimension, it has some of the same properties such as the wild gravity and vomit-looking atmosphere.

  • Sun Vulcan was the 1981 Sentai. The Space Sheriff Trilogy wouldn't begin until a year later in 1982 with Space Sheriff Gavan just as Sun Vulcan was wrapping up and Goggle 5 was starting. Unless they were thinking ahead, it's unlikely that it's the same space police.
    • Ah, but law enforcement is precisely the sort of thing that civilizations ought to plan in advance. Besides, Super Sentai includes Time Travel; the Space Police don't have to exist yet in Sun Vulcan to be the same police Inazuma Ginga is fleeing.
  • Inazuma Ginga's backstory mentioned the Galactic Union and Galactic Police. The Space Sheriffs were also known as the Galactic Union Police. Shozo Uehara wrote the entirety of Sun Vulcan's final arc, where that character appears. And that final arc was right before Gavan started which he wrote 37 of 44 episodes. Sun Vulcan ended in February while Gavan started in February of the same year, 1982.
  • Shaider episode 17 has Galactic Police as another name for the Space Sheriffs.
  • Officially confirmed as of Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger VS Uchuu Keiji Gavan THE MOVIE.

Special Police Dekaranger is a branch of the Shadow Proclamation

Both of them are alien police forces whose officers are also responsible for executing criminals.

The "Ultimate Court at the End of the Universe" that tries the criminals in Dekaranger is composed of Phoenix Wright, Miles Edgeworth and the Judge.

Think about it. The Court is always right and finds out the truth in an extremely short time. It's likely that the cast from Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney have been recruited by the Space Police and sent to an alternate dimension where three days (the maximum time allowed for a trial in Ace Attorney) are equivalent to the handful of seconds required for the Judgement of Alienizers. Possibly they've been turned into omniscient A Is or something in the process.

Go-on Gold is a shinigami

"Break genkai" sounds suspiciously like a release phrase, doesn't it?

Now, before you ask about his lack of sword, remember that only spiritually aware people would be able to see one.

Witch Bandora became Magiel and her father is Daimaou from Kakuranger

As it turns out, before Bandora made her deal with Dai Satan, she was in fact the good daughter of Daimaou who wanted to not be like her evil father and rule Earth with a kind and just hand. One season later, Bandora became good and regained her powers as a witch, which explains Magiel.

Gasha Dokuro and Witch Bandora, therefore, are siblings, and Kai is Daimaou's grandson.

  • Where's Queen Hedrian fit in?

Every other season will foreshadow the following year's Motif with at least one robo

The trend began with DaiShogun foreshadowing Shinkenger, and followed with Seaick GoseiGreat hinting at Gokaiger. Remember to pay attention to the mecha in 2012's Sentai.

Ryouga (AbareRed) and Ranru (AbareYellow) from Abaranger are secretly brother and sister, twins infact.

I was taking some snaps of Super Sentai/Power Ranger images using my Nintendo DSI to test the Resemblance feature. I captured one picture of Ryouga and Ranru together and it came with "Siblings: 45%" and then captured another image and it said "Twins: 56%".

Super Sentai, and by extension, Power Rangers, take place in parallel universes in which Humanity has discovered the secret of reversing matter ala Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons.

Think about it, every episode the monsters destroy tons of buildings and from what i've seen in Super Sentai, they attack and kill civilians. Logically, the city should have been destroyed in the first 20 episodes at least. In the first episode of Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, Captain Black completely destroys the Mysteron city, then the Mysterons suddenly bring it back again, it is also shown that they can bring dead people back to life.

the 40th super sentai

  • Will be a team with updated costumes of Himitsu Sentai Goranger

There will be a Super Sentai with monsters as the heroes

they could be good monsters disguised as humans.

The 42nd Super Sentai will be a sci-fi comedy.

A brief theory about Engine Sentai Go-onger.

I think Sosuke was originally going to remain dead until the Grand Finale, and GP36 would have ended with Yogostein killed permanently by the G12. Then, Sosuke would be replaced by a girl (an idea they didn't use until Shinkenger) in the following episode, and then GP45 would have been played differently, with said new girl joining G3 Princess in place of Kegalesia (whose G3 Princess costume had red accents). They probably scrapped that idea due to popular demand, and tacked the last-minute Single-Stroke Battle between Sosuke and Yogostein onto the end of GP36.

The season after Gokaiger will follow the Three Plus Two rule.

Think about it. Gaoranger and Boukenger were both, technically, anniversary seasons (both had the VS Super Sentai movies rather than usual team-up movies), and both were followed by seasons that used Three Plus Two (Hurricaneger, Shurikenger not withstanding, and Gekiranger, respectively), so it may very well be the same thing with Gokaiger, the only full-fledged anniversary season so far.

All of the seasons after Gokaiger will have a crossover episode with the previous season.

  • Don't we already have the VS movies to fill that purpose?

Timeranger's powers were originally made for another set of team.

Said team also has Two Girls to a Team, just like most of the Sentai Series with Five-Man Band since Boukenger.

All the different dimensions existed in other Sentais are parts of the 11 Braneworlds in Engine Sentai Go-onger.

Here are the lists of braneworlds:

  • 1. Human World with the entire Sentai Series
  • 2. Engine World for the Engines in Go-onger
  • 3. Junk World
  • 4. Sound World
  • 5. Stormy World
  • 6. Magic World (Infershia and Magitopia from the Magiranger series could be in it)
  • 7. Chrismas World
  • 8. Samurai World
  • 9. Grassland World (in the Crossover with Shinkenger, Speedor travelled there once)
  • 10. Gunman World
  • 11. ??? (maybe dinosaur world where the Burstosaurs from Abarangers live)

Eventually, there will be sentai series whose team can interchange colour with one another.

And that'll be another only time a male yellow ranger and female blue ranger appears.

There will eventually be a Token Child within a Five-Man Band

It'll depend whether the team continues to be younger or not.

Budget got short after Denziman

As the result, we had 3 rangers instead of the usual 5 in Sun Vulcan, and as they don't have enough budget for the color green, there is a black ranger in Google V instead.

Crossover with the Ultra Series is on the way within the next few years.

Well, now that we've got Kamen Rider and Metal Heroes crossovers underway, it's only logical that they keep going. And there's another long-running well-known Toku series to cross over with.

The Dairangers are Force-Sensitives.

Their Ki powers are basically the Force, and one of their BGM tracks sounds suspiciously like the Imperial March.

  • Isn't Dairanger already a Shout-Out to Star Wars?
