Achille Talon/Walter Melon
A cartoon where an overweight middle-aged man runs an agency where he is hired to impersonate more competent but unavailable heroes. In one episode he and his sidekick replace members of the "Far Out Flower Power Rangers" when two of them, Mason and Willy, get too excited during a jump and go flying all the way to Saturn. The show's theme song also has a lyric of "Go, Go Walter Melon!", specifically over a shot from the Flower Power Rangers episode.

Action Heroine Cheer Fruits
In this series, Japan has a system of "Action Heroines" where cities can form teams to perform Tokusatsu stage shows and promote local tourism, complete with national popularity rankings. The protagonists are a group of high school girls who become the official Action Heroines of their hometown of Hinano and try to help revive its failing economy. The group's production team is named the Cheer Fruits, while the name of their stage show is Seika Senshi (Holy Fruit Warriors) Hinanectar.

Hinanectar
The remaining members of the Cheer Fruits team have their own Hinanectar uniforms despite the fact that they aren't part of the team within the stage shows; they typically wear the costumes when they perform the show's theme song. In Episode 9, the Cheer Fruits' leader Misaki Shirogane appears on stage as a Sixth Ranger-type character named "Platinum" who wears a white dress rather than a uniform. Roko Kuroki and Kanon Shimura play the show's villains, while Genki Aoyama handles the audio and special effects and doesn't play any role within the show itself.

Because this series was penned by Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger 's head writer Naruhisa Arakawa, it contains many references to Super Sentai as well as other tokusatsu franchises including Kamen Rider and Metal Heroes.

Aho Girl
In episode 4, ''Charge! Aho Girl!'', the titular character, Yoshiko, takes the three recurring child characters, Nozomi, Mamoru and Tadashi to a hero show featuring Pachi Rangers (パチレンジャー), a sentai team consisting of three members; one blue, one red and one pink. The actor for the villain arrives on stage, taking Nozomi hostage, as the Pachi Rangers don't arrive on cue, Yoshiko decides to fight the villain herself, wearing a red mask, Mamoru and Tadashi also come on stage and Yoshiko gives them blue and yellow masks, declaring themselves to the Super Pachi Rangers, the Red Pachi Rangers watches from backstage, cheering the boys on to defend the girl's future. When the eyecatch for Aho Girl arrives, it resembles the logo for Kyukyu Sentai GoGoFive.

AKRangers
In the AKB48's show (AKBINGO!), they have a segment called the 48 second Sentai AKRanger (48秒戦隊： AKRanger) where the team must finish a certain challenge in 48 seconds to save the hostage (usually played by Atsuko Maeda) from White Satan.

Veggie Rangers
In their latest television ad for Kagome’s vegetable juice, “Yasai Ichinichi Kore Ippon”, idol group AKB48 is seen transforming to “Balance Sentai Veggie Rangers.” It began airing June 9, 2012.

In the commercials, the 30 members of AKB48 fight for justice and rescue citizens from unhealthy diets, complete with fighting poses, transformation CG and a giant robot! The outfits were designed by Trigun's Yasuhiro Nightow.

The first commercial started when the AKB48 members found an office lady (played by Atsuko Maeda) that is about to eat a whole bench full of hotdogs and fried chickens for lunch. They immediately transform into “Veggie Rangers,” and hand her the vegetable juice, saving her from an unbalanced diet.

ALDNOAH.ZERO
Two of the Martian Kataphrakt mechas, Herschel and Octantis bears resemblances to the Vaglass's MegaZords, MegaZord Epsilon and MegaZord Beta respectively from Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters.

The Amazing World of Gumball
In the episode "The Guy", Gumball and Darwin had a fantasy where they transformed into Sentai superheroes called the "Bro-Squad". The overall look of them is a fusion of the costumes of Bioman and Sun Vulcan with a bird logo emerging from the brace when transforming and behind them after posing like the Jetmen.

In the episode “The Spinoffs”, one of the proposed ideas Rob has for replacing Gumball as the star of the show is a Power Rangers-like show called Techno Power Teenage Warriors. When the main heroes shout “Techno Power Activate!”, a brief modified sound byte of the opening guitar riffs to Go Go Power Rangers can be heard in the background.

AMD Radeon graphics card advert
Advert for AMD's XFX Radeon R7970 graphics card. References MMPR, Zordon, and in particular, the episode "Day of the Dumpster".

American Dad
In the Halloween-themed third episode of American Dad season 6, Best Little Horror House in Langley Falls, a boy is seen dressed as the Blue Mighty Morphin' Power Ranger (Zyuranger's TriceraRanger), although the helmet is more similar to the Red Ranger (TyrannoRanger).

Amino Supli
A parody of Himitsu Sentai Gorenger was presented as a series of Commercials for the Japanese Energy Drink "Amino Supli", the Main Mascots of this Ad Campaign are the Silly, & Wacky looking Ranger team. T-shit commercials after the 27 Years ago Akaranger's fat and the other four are normal.

Animaniacs
The popular kids cartoon show Animaniacs did a spoof of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers in an episode called "Super Strong Warner Siblings". The plot involves the three Warner Siblings, Yakko, Wakko, and Dot, defending the Warner Brothers Studio lot from a giant bug created by a Rita Repulsa lookalike (coincidentally voiced by Tress MacNeille with the voice inflections of fellow voice actress Barbara Goodson). They defeat the monster, but end up destroying the Studio lot in the process. The episode ends with a health warning to children about "playing with giant bugs."

In addition, Dr. Scratchansniff parodies Zordon, Rita Repulsa parodies herself, a humanoid pig parodies Goldar (but looks more like Mordant from the first movie), a Scottish coyote parodies both Squatt and Baboo (but vocally sounds similar to Klank), and a green alien parodies Finster. Rita's Warriors - stick figures wearing white jumpsuits and giant glasses - parody the Putty Patrollers. The Warner Brothers Water Tower parodies the Megazord. However, there is no parody or equivalent for Alpha.

Other parody elements include the Warner Siblings constantly shouting "Right!" at random moments (including the moments in which they would actually say it), Rita protesting that "This never works!" after her monster is defeated (making fun of the show's monster-of-the-week motif she and Zedd use on the show), and an irate Mr. Plotz complaining about how much it's going to cost him to repair the damage to his studio (pointing out MMPR's tendency to ignore the excessive destruction wreaked on Angel Grove in every episode). The episode also utilizes theme music similar to that used in MMPR.

The irony of this episode is that the 3-member team consisting of Red, Blue, and Yellow Rangers did not happen until Power Rangers: Ninja Storm, which was the first Power Rangers show that aired after Disney (Warner Brothers' main rival) acquired the franchise from Saban. Super Sentai has done this motif even before Power Rangers starting with Taiyou Sentai Sun Vulcan and Choujuu Sentai Liveman.

The Annoying Orange
The popular Youtube channel, The Annoying Orange, made a spoof of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers in two videos featuring the Sour Rangers, a team of sour gummy kids based on the candy Sour Patch Kids. They piloted robotic Gourds in place of Zords, which could combine into Megagourd, who fought with lightning rays and with the mighty Power Knife, a spoof of the Megazord's Power Sword. In their first appearance, they fought Marshmallow's evil cousin, Marshageddon, who was armed with a raygun and wore a headpiece based on that of Rita Repulsa. In their second appearance, they fought Lord Bread, a spoof of Lord Zedd, who was armed with a pretzel staff that fired energy beams. Some main characters in the series took the roles of supporting characters from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers; Orange became a parody of Zordon and was called Oron, Midget Apple spoofed Alpha 5 and became Midget Apple 5, and Grapefruit took the role of Ernie, whose juice bar was destroyed by Megagourd in battle.

Arthur
The first time was during the episode, "Arthur's Tooth", when the class was learning about teeth by watching an educational video. A team of four heroes called the Flighty Fluoride Scour Rangers (an obvious nod to MMPR) were fighting a monster who was trying to damage a set of teeth from the inside.

The second was in the episode, "Attack of the Turbo Tibbles". This episode had seen a TV show called "Terrific Turbo-Trooper Toy T-Bot Team". The heroes wear uniforms with a MMPR-like theme, though the TV show title resembled Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad and had hand signatures similar to Ultraman.

Atomic Betty
The first part of the seventeenth episode of Atomic Betty is called Power Arrangers.

In the sixth and last episode of the first season of the comedy about three immature flatmates, there is a flashback to their schooldays where Ben is dressed as the Blue Mighty Morphin' Power Ranger (Zyuranger's TriceraRanger). Reminiscing about this in the present day, Ben notes "Dressing as the Blue Power Ranger for PE, what an idiot. Everyone knows the Red Ranger's the fastest."

Balala the Fairies

Also in the second part the fourth green member joins the group.

Bakugan: Battle Brawlers
During the second, third, and fourth seasons of the anime Bakugan: Battle Brawlers, new combinations of the Bakugan were revealed, and were called Ultimate Weapon Formations. They are very similar to the Mecha and Zords. Partway through the third season, the main characters, the Battle Brawlers, join an elite force of soldiers known as the Castle Knights. The main characters change into white unitard uniforms with highlights in the color of the respective element they use, which they then wear for the rest of the season. Ren Krawler, a villain, eventually defects to the protagonists' side and joins them as their sixth member, gaining a uniform that matches the rest of the protagonists.

Batman Incorporated

Additionally in the earlier filler episodes of the anime, a similar superhero team called the Karakura Superheroes were set up by Don Kanonji to help protect Karakura Town as Ichigo and his friends were busy rescuing Rukia Kuchiki from the Soul Society. Much like Super Sentai they were given different colors and would do different traditional poses when introducing themselves. However as both Karin Kurosaki and Jinta Hanakari would constantly fight over who would by Karakura Red, it led to the team disbanding.

Ururu Tsumugiya, Don Kanonji, and Kon are the only characters to have served on both teams (though Kon was not in Ichigo's body during the Karakura Superhero event).

DC Comics' Blackest Night
Some of the most popular heroes and villains of the DC Universe, in the arc Blackest Night, were made into deputy lanterns of the six other colors of the lantern powers and fought alongside Green Lantern. Their appearance in the comics as well as their dominance of one entire wave of DC Universe Classics figures have sparked fan comparisons to Power Rangers.

In the Brightest Day storyline, a comic series called Green Lantern: The New Guardians, a new team was assembled with a similar arrangement:

In the New 52 line, with the reboot of the DC Universe, the New Guardians' formation was almost entirely rearranged:

Detective Conan

A three-man team like Sun Vulcan, the costumes of the "Seigi Sentai" bears resemblence to those from Gorenger.

Devil Summoner

Dexter's Laboratory
In Dexter's Laboratory, the Super Sentai and the Power Rangers shows are parodied in different episodes. Like, in "Big Sister" and "Last But Not Beast", both episodes have giant monster battles that parody the ones in Super Sentai and Power Rangers. Also in "Last But Not Beast", Dexter has a poster of a Super Sentai/Power Rangers like team in his bedroom. He has 2 robots, Robo-Dexo 2000 & Multi-Forming Megabot (which has a finisher, as well as 4 pieces to form the robot: a helicopter, jet, van, and boat). Both are parodies of Super Sentai Robos & Power Rangers Megazords. Also, in "Last But Not Beast" the song "Dexter's Family Go" also parodies Go Go Power Rangers. In the episode "Sister Mom", just before Dexter activates the machine he uses to turn DeeDee into their mother, he says "It's Morphin Time!".

Digimon: The Movie
In the English dub, Kari says she got her friend a Pink Ranger Action Figure for her birthday.

After Digimon Tamers the third season of the series, Digimon brings with the fourth season called Digimon Frontier which they have their Digivices called D-Tector (D-Scanner in the Japanese version). When they begin to digivolve, Humans transformed into Digimon when they use the beast spirits to transform each form.

A toy Mythical Chi Warrior Won Tiger/White Tigerzord can be seen on a shelf in Mickey's apartment durning Series 1 episode 5,  World War Three. A toy Daijinryuu/Serpentera and a toy TimeRobo Shadow Alpha/Shadow Force Megazord Mode Red can also be seen at some point during Series 6 episode 9, Night Terrors.

Doraemon
In one chapter of the long running manga series, Nobita and Doraemon watch TV and an image of a Sentai show called "UFO Rangers" appears on the screen before they decide to go outside and play. The UFO Rangers bear an uncanny resemblance to J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai, which coincidentally was still on the air at the time this particular story came out on August 10th, 1976.

In the opening panel of one manga chapter, Doraemon witnesses a film crew shooting what seems to be a Gorenger movie.

Coincidentally, it aired on the same network as Super Sentai and two of the characters (Suneo and Gian) were voiced by the same VAs as the devices of Gokaiger and Kyuranger.

Downtown no Gottsu Ee Kanji
In this show, there was a recurring sketch named Seikimatsu Sentai Gorenjai. Translating to English as End of Century Heroes Five Range-i, it is a parody of Himitsu Sentai Gorenger -- the last syllable in renjaa ("ranger") is replaced to avoid copyright issues. Each episode begins with the evil Dokuro Kamen ("Skull Mask", played by Hamada) attacking a woman (played by You) in her home. The sentai heroes, the five renjai, then burst into the scene one at a time to save her and attempt to fight Dokuro Kamen, who is too distracted and unable to fight due to their appearances.

In the first episode, they have three red renjai and two yellow (breaking the usual sentai convention of having each hero in a different color). Dokuro Kamen lectures them and tells them to try better next time. Each subsequent episode has Dokuro Kamen attacking the same woman in the same room (often stopping for a friendly chat with the lady's friend before he attacks her), and the renjai appearing in mismatched costumes -- such as Tiger Mask, Falkor, and a waitress from a No-pan Shabu shabu-- or ridiculously modified versions of their uniforms. The episodes end with Dokuro Kamen scolding the renjai, pointing out exactly what is wrong, and sending them off home.

Dragon Ball Super
Dragon Ball Super, the official sequel to Dragon Ball Z, introduced not one, but two groups in the Universal Survival Arc. The first group is the Pride Troopers of Universe 11, who act like parodies of Super Sentai heroes. While they do not have special colored costumes, they are quite fond of posing and fighting for justice. Their leader, Toppo, is heavily into this, chewing out Android #17 for attacking opponents while transforming.

The second group are the Kamikaze Fireballs of Universe 2, who are parodies of magical girls (and most likely Pretty Cure in particular). They are a three-woman team who fights for love and justice and hold the same love for posing.

Dragon Ball Z
The Ginyu Force (Ginyu Tokusentai/Special Squad) that serve as the henchman for the villain Frieza in the anime and manga series Dragon Ball Z often do Super Sentai based poses when they introduce themselves. They also have have different colors based on their skin. Notably when Captain Ginyu later faced Goku, not only did Goku imitate the pose, he also made a note that doing the pose was a big waste of time that angered Ginyu as a result.

Cooler's Armored Squadron (クウラ機甲戦隊 'Kūra Kikō Sentai') is a mercenary platoon that works under Cooler, the brother of Frieza through the Frieza Force. The team is made up of Salza the "pretty-boy" captain of the squad, a large green fighter named Dore, and a tall amphibian-like soldier named Neiz. They make their debut in the film Dragon Ball Z: Cooler's Revenge as the secondary antagonists.

Dragonman

Dynasty Warriors
In Dynasty Warriors 8, there are DLCs for Shu Dynasty characters which was inspired from Power Rangers/Super Sentai. The 5 characters that got Power Ranger-like costumes are Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Huang Zhou, with a colorset very similar to Engine Sentai Go-Onger / Power Rangers RPM. Liu Bei gets a Ranger commander-type costume. Furthermore, Zhuge Liang and Yue Ying get villain costumes with color schemes very similar to Rita Repulsa from the Power Rangers 2017 movie. Lastly, Wei Yan got a monster-like costume.

Eek! the Cat
In the episode "Fists of Furry", Sharky the Sharkdog is seen watching a parody of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, called Mighty Boring Shower Strangers. The aptly named Shower Strangers are a bunch of people wearing helmets and towels meeting, but not recognizing each other in a shower, after which they are attacked by soap themed monsters.

Also parodied in this episode is the controversy that Power Rangers would promote the use of violence in children, as Sharky is seen hurting himself after imitating the moves he saw in the show.

Eight Ranger
Eight Ranger is a 2012 film that they have the seven core team like Ressha Sentai ToQger and Shuriken Sentai Ninninger and Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger. And this is a parody of Super Sentai.

Environmental Warrior Zenta Force

The Facts of Life
In one scene from the show, behind Blair is a Dai Sentai Goggle V Goggle Red soft vinyl figure in the background.

Final Fantasy XV
One of the plans for the DLC expansions of the game Final Fantasy XV was the Magitek Exosuit, multi-colored Sentai-like armors that would enhance the four different characters of the game. This suit gives the player invincibility for 30 minutes and improves fishing, but can only be used once every 24 hours.

However, their original design was too similar to the costumes of the 2017 Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie and Saban threatened to sue Square Enix if they did not change it. This resulted in the Magitek Exosuit DLC being delayed until the suits could be re-designed. Fans reacted negatively to Saban's copyright claim as it ruined a pre-determined DLC release that players were waiting for. .

Fighting Foodons
Burger Brigade

Flower Angel
In 2014, this Chinese-Japanese anime started with its website, manhua and movie and is some sort of a cross between Cardcaptor Sakura, Sailor Moon, Magic Knight Rayearth, Ojamajo Doremi, Sasami: Magical Girls Club, Powerpuff Girls Z and Pretty Cure. The team is kind of a spoof of Super Sentai/Power Rangers.

Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma
When the judges reacted after eating Chef Kojiro Shinomya's meal, an entire sequence of Magical Cabbage, with the team interestingly contains both magical girl (primarily Sailor Moon) and Super Sentai throwbacks (color coded designations).

Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
During one episode, Will is antagonized by a larger man and he decides to finish the fight, but gets knocked down in a single punch. Lisa comes in and mercilessly beats up the bully. When Will comes to, he finds out Lisa saved him and asks where she learned her fighting moves. Lisa responds: "Well I've been meaning to tell you that ..I'm a..Um.."'

Will then responds with: "A what? A Power Ranger?!"

Fish Hooks
Milo, Oscar, Albert and Jumbo, dressed as animals, pile on one another to become a Megazord per-se. All transformed, although Shellsea refused. The names of the animals and the transformation referenced/parodied MMPR 1.

Force rose etc.
Virgin Mary, new pop icon Force rose etc. (Pink Power etc., as French dub of Sentai called each Ranger "[Color] Force") is an artist rendition, customizing Virgin Mary figures with Choudenshi Bioman outfits, but keeping the dress. Contrary to most Sentai conventions, Pink Ranger is in front.

France Five
Shin Kenjushi France Five (translated as New Sword Musketeers France Five), is a French affectionate parody of the Sentai genre. Its heroes have names which are major clichés about French life, especially food. It became extremely popular in Japan and Akira Kushida even sang a new theme song for it that was used in the show's last three episode.

Because producers where unsure how far the project could go, first episode was written as a typical mid-season episode (actually, first sixth ranger appearance) rather than a real introduction. However, after a 8-years hiatus, it ended with a real final. Color pattern, including sixth ranger, is exactly the same as Denji Sentai Megaranger/Power Rangers in Space.

In the 2005 video game killer7 by Capcom (released for the Nintendo GameCube and PlayStation 2), the Punishing Rangers Handsome Men (匿名仕置戦隊 “ハンサムマン”) were developed by the US military in order to combat the global Heaven Smile threat. In addition to being an official assassin organization, the Handsome Men are also featured as characters in a comic book created by Trevor Pearlharbor and published by ZTT Comics. When the real-world group appears and begins to carry out the stories he writes in reality, Pearlharbor believes himself to be controlling them; in actuality, he is only a seer, and his comics are simply predictions of what they will do. LOVE Wilcox, a teenage girl and participant in the underground Internet, may be the actual coordinator of the Handsome Men's actions.

A television news announcement reports that a group resembling the comic book characters has assassinated Democratic Party member Steve Thunderson during a meeting of Congress. As a result, Mills dispatches the Killer 7 to kill Pearlharbor, who is writing their adventures into his comics in the week preceding their actual actions, and therefore appears to be controlling them, or at least some sort of terrorist. The Killer 7 tracks Pearlharbor to his studio in the Dominican Republic, where he is in the midst of drawing a scene of himself killing Dan Smith, and thus believes he cannot die. However, Handsome Black suddenly appears and fires his Handsome Wink at Dan, who successfully dodges; the attack hits Pearlharbor, killing him.

Dan kills Handsome Black in retaliation; Handsome Red appears on the scene and, surveying it, concludes that Dan killed both Pearlharbor and Black unprovoked. He calls for a revenge match to determine which of the groups is stronger, naming Broadway, New York as the site of the challenge. A series of one-on-one matches ensues:
 * Harman Smith kills Handsome Red with his rifle.
 * Handsome White Pearl outshoots Con Smith.
 * Coyote Smith shoots and kills Handsome Gold.
 * Handsome Light Brown shoots KAEDE Smith as she reloads.
 * Handsome Dead beats Kevin Smith when his knife throws miss.
 * Dan Smith shoots Handsome Blue in the head.
 * Handsome Purple seemingly defeats MASK de Smith, but the latter is suddenly reborn in a more stylized luchadore outfit and with more powerful, faster-firing grenade launchers, and kills Purple with a charged shot.
 * As Garcian Smith is about to fight Handsome Pink, however, she suddenly transforms into the shape of LOVE Wilcox, and the two call a truce. She tells him that she "wrote the story," and seems to believe that the company she works for, Electro Inline Inc., was responsible for her mentor Pearlharbor's death.
