There are too many temporal issues regarding Ohranger's placement, particularly in regards to the series that came before and after it. Obviously the Vs. Timeline tends to ignore a lot of this since it ends up doing many things that the writers of those series don't intend to have (such as keeping the original Shurikenger when a new one emerged in the proper sequel), but time is just too much a problem here, mostly because of Carranger.

The basic element: the final battle with Exhaus occurs in January, 1997 during the incident where the wine constellation makes the guardians of the Kurumagic constellations drunk. Prior to then, Bowzock is fully operational and the only thing that really breaks them up occurs in the episode prior to the wine constellation event (AKA: Zonnette finally leaving Bowzock and returning to being princess of planet Fanbelt) The full Bowzock is around (including Exhaus, who became revealed in the final quarter) during Car vs. Oh, upon which the UAOH soldiers are pursuing "the last Baranoia Machine Beast" in Bara Mobile. If Carranger occurs in 1996/1997, then Bara Mobile could only emerge in 1996/1997, thus the entire war with Baranoia is over and all the forces in series (up to an including Buldont and Multihua) are gone.

This is the main reason why we keep Ohranger in the time of airing, which is 1995. Obviously it was meant to be 1999 considering the first episode, but the interactions and timing elements prevent it from actually occurring in 1999. (the only way we could make it work is if we go by the idea of "the Vs. universe had the Baranoia war occur in 1995 and it actually occurred in 1999 in series", but unless told otherwise, Ohranger is '95-'96)
