Yeah, only JAKQ is shorter. And Goseiger and Gokaiger with 50 and 51 episodes were anomalies. 49 has been normal since the late 1990s. Ninninger got unlucky - episode 1 got pre-empted because ToQger got pre-empted for breaking news two weeks prior, and thus wasn't finished. So it lost an episode, and combined with this unusual pre-emption now, it's clear that the show was intended to run for 49 episodes.
