This article is about a series entry (the 19th) in the Super Sentai series. |
Choriki Sentai Ohranger (超力戦隊オーレンジャー Chōriki Sentai Ōrenjā), is the 19th production of the Super Sentai television series. It was during its run that Shotaro Ishinomori's Sentai Shows were once again officially recognized as part of the Super Sentai series, a designation they had previously been stripped of during Choju Sentai Liveman.
Its footage was used in Power Rangers Zeo.
On May 21, 2016, Shout! Factory announced that the series would be released on Region 1 DVD. Ohranger was released in the USA on November 1, 2016, making it the fourth Sentai series to get such a release. [1]
The average ratings of the series was 4.5%.[2]
Production[]
With 1995 marking the 20th anniversary of Himitsu Sentai Gorenger, Toei had decided to make a serious anniversary series that harkened back to Sentai's beginning while taking advantage of the developments since then. For its development, many writers from older series came back to work on the show with the plan for a dark theme. The five Ohranger themselves were to be similar to the Gorenger in personality and former Gorenger Hiroshi Miyauchi (who played AoRenger) was brought in as the mentor for the series. While initially keeping to this concept, the events that occurred in Japan during the show's production, such as the Subway Sarin Incident and the Kobe earthquake, forced the writers of Ohranger to constantly rewrite the scripts. The Ohrangers began to alternate between serious and lighter personalities, these shifts causing a downturn in viewership. However, merchandising sales remained unusually high, so many new weapons and toys were created to continue to boost sales as had been done with Kakuranger the prior year when it likewise was under-performing. While Ohranger ultimately had one of the lowest ratings of any Sentai series up to that time, the resulting toy sales were record-breaking, and the show was not in danger of cancellation at any point during its run.
Plot[]
- "Only those who have learned the power of the Super-Civilization will be able to save humanity from its greatest crisis: Baranoia, the Machine Empire, which plans to invade the Earth...!"
- ―Narrator[src]
600 million years ago, Pangaea created a robot named Bacchus Wrath, who ultimately turned on his creators. The KingRanger defeated Bacchus Wrath and banished him from Earth. In the year 1999 (later in the year 1995 in both Super Sentai and Toei Multiverse timelines), Bacchus returned to Earth as the ruler of the Machine Empire Baranoia with the intention of wiping out all human life and bring about machine rule. Chief Counsellor Miura revived super energies that had been born of the lost civilization of Pangaea with the intention of creating weapons to fight against Baranoia. The reassembling of a stone plate uncovered three years previously, the secrets of "Super Power" were revealed. Miura built a pyramid to generate Tetrahedron power in order to allow five U.A.O.H. officers to transform into Ohrangers.

Episodes[]
Ohranger is the first Sentai that mentions a special "count" of the episodes, usually within the preview for the next episode; it does so using the simple counter of "Dai (number) Wa", where "wa" is the Japanese counter for "stories" which is also used for television episodes. This will become a common Sentai occurrence from Gingaman, but only four other series follow Ohranger's simple example in counting: GoGoFive, Abaranger, Gokaiger, and Zyuohger.

Releases[]
Broadcast[]
- Ohranger was aired on TV Asahi from March 3rd, 1995 to February 23rd, 1996, airing every Friday at 5.30 p.m..[3]
- The series aired in Hong Kong with a Cantonese Chinese dub on Asia Television from June 16 to October 6, 1997, with all 48 episodes dubbed.[Citation needed]
- In the Philippines, it was aired as Power Rangers Zeo on ABS-CBN in 1997 while Ohranger was aired on ABC 5 (now TV5) in 2000.[Citation needed]
- In Thailand, the series was given a Thai dub and aired on Channel 7 in 1999 a year after Power Rangers Zeo was aired on that network in 1998 and was also released on home video (VCD/DVD) with a new Thai dub, distributed by Video Square and EVS Entertainment.[Citation needed]
- In Indonesia, the series aired with an Indonesian dub on RCTI in 2001 and continued re-runs until the end of 2002. In the Indonesian dub, Ohranger was spelled as "O-Ranger".

Notes[]
- "Oh" (オー Ō) is a pun on "olé" (オーレ ōre), "aura" (オーラ ōra), and the Japanese word for "king" (王 ō). "O.H." was also given as the acronym for "Overtech Hardware", the organization the team is part of, adding to the pun.
- This season would be notable for being an anniversary series for the Super Sentai franchise and would pave the way for future anniversaries to come. For Ohranger in particular, it would be considered the 20th anniversary of the very first Sentai series, Himitsu Sentai Gorenger which, alongside its followup J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai, had become fully acknowledged as part of the Super Sentai franchise. Yet while it would attempt to depict itself as the 20th anniversary series, Ohranger's position as the 19th series would ultimately make the next true Sentai anniversary held off until 2001's Hyakuju Sentai Gaoranger, which would be the 25th Sentai (though 26 years after Gorenger) and make every subsequent anniversary follow from every five series post-Gorenger, not every five years.
- This is the last season to have the annual Sentai movie (with the exception of Kyukyu Sentai GoGoFive: Sudden Shock! A New Warrior) until the release of Hyakuju Sentai Gaoranger: The Fire Mountain Roars.
- This is also the first season to have a "Vs. series movie", where the current Sentai encounters the previous year's sentai, starting with Choriki Sentai Ohranger: Ole vs. Kakuranger.
- Hiroshi Miyauchi, who had previously played Akira Shinmei in Himitsu Sentai Gorenger and Sokichi Banba in J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai, appears here as Chief Counsellor Naoyuki Miura.
- This was the last season to be done on film in its entirety, although the first 6 episodes of Carranger were also done on film as well.
- Ohranger was credited as "O-Rangers" in the "Adapted from" credit in the ending credits of Power Rangers Zeo.
- Ohranger was the last Sentai to feature Noboru Sugimura, Shozo Uehara, and Susumu Takaku as part of the writing staff.
- Ohranger was the last Sentai to feature Susumu Yoshikawa and Takeyuki Suzuki as producers.
