It is about a producer in the year 2076 creating the 100th entry in the Hyper Hero Team Series by going back in time and getting three people from the Edo era of Japan to star in the show. It was followed a year later by Cho Ninjatai Inazuma!! SPARKIcon-crosswiki. It features many actors from Super Sentai, including Atsushi Hashimoto, Hiroya Matsumoto, Asami Kai, Mika Kikuchi, and Mika Kikuchi.

The Hyper Hero Team Series is an obvious parody of Super Sentai. Additionally, assuming Sentai's schedule remains constant, 2076 will be the year Super Sentail will celebrate its 100th season. Predating Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger, Cho Ninjatai Inazuma! is Toei's first attempt at a parody of their Super Sentai series.

CollegeHumor[]

The video "Zordon is a Racist" spoofs the untinentionally politically incorrect connotations of Zack Taylor being African-American and the Black Ranger as well as Trini Kwan being Asian and the Yellow Ranger by depicting Zordon as a complete bigot who is blatantly appointing Ranger colors to his recruits based on what minority they belong to. After kicking out a second black recruit and a Jewish recruit, the remaining recruits call out Zordon on his bigotry and walk away in disgust.

An indie RPG commercially released on February 6th, 2015. The primary antagonist of the game is a witch just named "Witch Rita", who bares a resemblance to Rita Repulsa, more so in her clothing than physical appearance. Moreover, the games true antagonist is her superior, a villain simply named "Z". Z's costume is heavily based off of Lord Zedd's design. Additionally, Z's name could be a reference to the fact that "Zedd" is an alternate pronunciation to the letter "Z".

He has two robots, Robo-Dexo 2000 and 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 and 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[]

Original Universe[]

In the English dub of the 39th episode of the second season of Digimon, known as Digimon Adventure 02, a news reporter mentions a Power Rangers Arbor Day Special.

Dinosaur King[]

Dino Troopers

In the episode, A Game Show Showdown, there is a show set called Dino Troopers. It was a play on either Power Rangers or Super Sentai (the Japanese show Power Rangers is based on). A lone ninja-themed hero is later seen facing the same villain as the Dino Troopers during a live stage show in Ninja Nightmare!. Dinosaurs and ninjas are two of the most commonly recurring team motifs in both Sentai and Rangers, and stage shows that reuse any suits available are also a common staple of the genre.

JAKQ in Doraemon

UFO Rangers

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.

Doraenger

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.

Another sentai team is called Sokuryo Sentai Kirameasure (測量戦隊キラメジャー Sokuryō Sentai Kiramejā) which is similar to the name Kiramagers.

Downtown no Gottsu Ee Kanji[]

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.

Ginyu Force pose!

The Ginyu Force (Ginyu Tokusentai/Special Squad) that serve as the henchman for their 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. 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.

The 2023 iteration of the annual in-game Moonfire Faire event rewarded players with the Phoenix Riser armor. Promotional images for the event featured the armor on a team of 5 in the iconic Gorenger color scheme, but the actual in-game item could be dyed any color of the player's choice. Additionally, during the event an in-game location was available where occasional colored explosions would occur, clearly inspired by the explosions typical of Sentai roll calls; players were encouraged to take pictures of their characters posing in front of the stage whilst wearing the Phoenix Riser costume.

XV[]

Exosuit

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.[1].

France Five[]

FranceFiveLogo

France Five official picture.

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.
