Seikimatsu Sentai Gorenjai

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) often stopping for a friendly chat with the lady's friend before attacking the lady (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.

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. Turns out in the fighting game Dragon Ball FighterZ that Ginyu Force’s posing is the main reason why Gohan become the superhero Great Saiyaman. In the video game Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, which uncover the untold stories that are not in either manga nor anime, the Ginyu Force use to have had a sixth ranger, who is a female.

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.

Johrangers

A spoof of Sportranger known as the Johrangers were created for a mobile phone commercial in Thailand. Their costumes are similar to Changeman and Turboranger. They have a color scheme of Red, Blue, Yellow, Pink, but rather than the usual Green or Black, the fifth Ranger has a rather over the top costume (simillar to AbareKiller). The first commercial shows a monster causing havoc, the Johrangers spring into action and henshin. The team then notice that one of their members has an abnormal outfit. The Red Ranger says how they agreed that they wouldn't wear that suit and asks the Pink Ranger if she had phoned him about that. The fifth Ranger then storms off and leaves the team.

In the second commercial, the Johranger's Giant Robo forms without its right leg. The Red Ranger asks Pink to call the fifth Ranger but she ran out of her phone money, while the Yellow Ranger is trying to scratch the password from a top-up card.

Handsome Men

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” Tokumei Shioki Sentai "Hansamuman") 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.

In addition, Dr. Scratchansniff parodies Zordon, Rita Repulsa is portrayed as a witch with a nest of vultures on her head. Her dialogue is also fast paced and strangely structured, along with being out of sync with her lip movements, parodying the fact in the real series, Rita is portrayed by dubbing Zyuranger scenes from Bandora. Other villain parodies include a humanoid pig parodying Goldar, a Scottish coyote who parodies both Squatt and Baboo and a green alien who parodies Finster. Rita's warriors — stick figures wearing white jumpsuits and giant glasses — parody the Putty Patrollers. The Warner Bros. water tower parodies the Megazord, gaining the ability to transform into a humanoid form.

Other parody elements include the Warner Siblings constantly shouting "Right!" at random moments (12 times), Rita protesting that "This never works!" after her monster is defeated, and an irate Mr. Plotz complaining about how much it's going to cost him to repair the damage to his studio, referencing how much destruction the giant battles in Power Rangers cause. The episode also utilizes theme music similar to that used in MMPR.

In addition, the episode pokes fun at the morality of the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers by having the normally mischievous Warner siblings randomly handing out bags of money and fat free yoghurts, along with them ending the episode with a moral lession, teaching kids not to play with giant bugs.

In their second appearance, they fought Lord Bread, a spoof of Lord Zedd, who was armed with a pretzel staff that fired energy beams. Their third appearance saw them battle evil forces at Comic-Corn (a parody of Comic-Con). Their fourth and most recent appearance saw them in a parody of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie, where they battle Chivan Stews (a parody of Ivan Ooze), with the help of new powers granted by Dorcea (parody of Dulcea; voiced by Ciara Hanna, who portrayed Gia Moran in Power Rangers Megaforce). 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.

In a similar case, in an episode of Ask Orange, a video series where Orange responds to fan-submitted questions and comments, Orange, Marshmallow, Midget Apple, Grapefruit, and Pear morph into Rangers, referencing Mighty Morphin, Time Force, Dino Thunder, Megaforce, and Beast Morphers, respectively, with their morph sequences. Orange's Zord is Orange Orangutan, Marshmallow's Zord is Marshmallow Mastadon, Midget Apple's Zord is Apple Alligator, Grapefruit's Zord is Grapefruit Great-White, and Pear's Zord is Pear Pear.

Additionally, in a HOW2 episode, Lord Bread made a cameo.

They are primarily known for their plays, but also have a comic book series as well as a toyline. Kabbu is a huge fan of the Bug Rangers, stating that they "inspire young bugs all over the land."

Team Snakemouth bear a striking resemblence to the Bug Rangers, as both teams consist of a bee, beetle and moth with similar coloring. This is acknowledged when a wasp named Jayde mistakes the team for the Bug Rangers during their initial travel to the Wasp Kingdom.

In the Bugaria Theater, a merchant can sell Kabbu a rare plushie of Bug Ranger Green for 40 berries. The toy can be shown to various NPCs or used in certain in game events for unique dialouge. In the Termite Kingdom, Kabbu is able to give the plushie to a young termite outside of the Colosseum. This event is based on the choice of the player, and no reward is given if the player decides to give the toy to the termite.

Magitek Exosuits (Original Design)

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.[8].

Their motto "Go, Go, Demon Team" also parodies the Power Rangers franchise's "Go, Go, Power Rangers" tag line & Turbo Man's catch phrase "It's Turbo Time" also parodies "It's Morphin Time". Incidents over Power Rangers toys including to writer Randy Kornfield involved his in-laws trying to get a Power Rangers figure for his son, and producer Chris Columbus trying to get a Buzz Lightyear Action Figure for his son also inspired Turbo Man in the movie.
