Power Rangers Super Megaforce is the 21st season of Power Rangers continuing the celebration of the series 20th anniversary and the second season of Power Rangers Megaforce. The series is based on Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, though some elements remain from Tensou Sentai Goseiger.
Production
"Power Rangers Megaforce" was trademarked by Saban Brands in 2011 during the run of Power Rangers Samurai. Casting sides released in April 2012 match with the blue and silver rangers of Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger. On 11th June 2012, it was revealed that the season will be based on Tensou Sentai Goseiger.[1] The official name was then revealed as "Power Rangers Megaforce". The second season, titled Super Megaforce, will incorporate elements from Gokaiger.[2][3][4][5] That makes Megaforce the first hybrid adaptation since Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
On June 17th, 2013 the official press release unveiled the plot of Power Rangers Super Megaforce:
Plot
- "An alien armada has arrived and invaded our planet. Wave after wave have attacked us, with a ferocity never seen before. To battle this new threat the Power Rangers must master the abilities of the Legendary Rangers to become Super Megaforce"
- ―Narrator[src]
- "Power Rangers Super Megaforce focuses on the Rangers' mission to defeat a massive alien army Armada that was sent to conquer Earth. To face this threat, Gosei, a supernatural guardian who has protected Earth for centuries, gives the Rangers special morphers and keys, which allow them to morph into Super Megaforce Rangers. The Rangers also have an added special ability to morph into any team of Power Rangers from the past. These super-sized adventures can only mean one thing: the all-new Power Rangers Super Megaforce has arrived!"
- ―Official synopsis from press release[6]
After defeating the Warstar, the Rangers discover that they were only the tip of the iceberg as their chain of command make their way to Earth, The Armada, led by Emperor Mavro. A massive empire of enemies from outer space, Gosei realized that it was time make use of the Legendary Ranger Keys that he has lined up in their command center. He presents them the Legendary Morpher that will allow them to use the keys and morph into any past Power Ranger. In their journey to stop the massive Armada from taking over Earth, they will meet past Power Rangers and gain new abilities for their Legendary Megazord.
Along the way, they meet young Orion, who is an Andresian refugee and has the powers of the Silver Ranger. They bond with him and he officially joins the team as their Sixth Ranger.
However they discover that an old enemy of theirs, Vrak had survived the Warstar ordeal and was in reality a member of the Armada royal family. To truly eradicate the Armada, they must deal with Vrak.
In their final battle with Emperor Mavro and his leftover army of X Borgs, the Mega Rangers are met with the reunion of all the Power Rangers gathered together in order to fight this one final threat.

Notes
- This is the only anniversary season to feature a Green Ranger.
- This is also the first season since Power Rangers Super Samurai to feature the Red-Blue-Green-Yellow-Pink main team formation.
- There are several errors in the opening sequence. At the end before the logo appears, a montage of Ranger helmets appears. But some of them are wrong:
- SPD Yellow and Blue are mirror flipped, so the police badge is the wrong way around.
- SPD Red has holes on the mouthplate and on the black panel between the police badge and the visor. These are the breathing holes from the theme park version of the helmet.
- RPM Yellow and Blue are mirror flipped, meaning that the G symbol is backwards.
- This is the first season to incorporate Super Sentai Ranger suits whose counterparts did not previously appear in Power Rangers- Dairanger (not counting how the sixth Dairanger's suit was used), Flashman, Maskman, Changeman, and Fiveman.
- This is the first season to credit only the Rangers in the opening titles without any allies or villains, the second one being Beast Morphers.
- This season (as well as its prequel) are the only seasons in the Neo-Saban era where the Rangers don't have a Power-Up to use exclusively on the Megazord as well uses the cockpit footage of the Sentai Series.
- This is the only season of the Neo-Saban era not to have a holiday special.
- This is the second series not to have a character on the villains’ side have a change of heart, reform, or side with the Power Rangers at all.
- This is the first season since Power Rangers Ninja Storm not to have a clip show episode as well as the only season of the Neo-Saban era not to have one.
- Similar to how Gokaiger had the roman numeral for 35 (XXXV) in their transformation sequence, this season has the Roman Numeral for 20 (XX) seen, referencing the 20th anniversary for Power Rangers.
- This is the only season in Neo-Saban Era that doesn't have Halloween or Christmas episodes at all.
