Super Sentai (Japanese: スーパー戦隊シリーズ, Hepburn: Sūpā Sentai Shirīzu, translated as "Super Squadron Series") is a Japanese superhero team metaseries and media franchise consisting of television series and films produced by Toei Company, and Bandai, and aired by TV Asahi ("Sentai" is the Japanese word for "task force" or "fighting squadron").[citation needed] The shows are of the tokusatsu genre, featuring live action characters and colorful special effects, and are aimed at children. Super Sentai airs alongside the Kamen Rider series in the Super Hero Time programming block on Sunday mornings. In North America, the Super Sentai series is best known as the source material for the Power Rangers series.[1]

Series overview[]

In every Super Sentai series, the protagonists are a team of people who – using wrist-worn or hand-held devices – transform into superheroes and gain superpowers – color-coded uniforms, signature weapons, sidearms, and fighting skills – to battle a group of otherworldly supervillains that threaten to take over the Earth. In a typical episode, the heroes thwart the enemies' plans and defeat an army of enemy soldiers and the monster of the week before an enlarged version of the monster confronts them, only to be defeated again when the heroes fight it with their mecha. Each Sentai series is set in its own unique fictional universe; various TV, video and film specials feature a team-up between one or more teams.

Super Sentai series[]

The first two Super Sentai series were created by Shotaro Ishinomori, then known for the 1971–1973 Kamen Rider TV series and the long-running manga Cyborg 009. He developed Himitsu Sentai Gorenger, which ran from 1975 to 1977, and J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai, released in 1977. Toei Company put the franchise on hiatus in 1978, collaborating with Marvel Comics to produce a live action Spider-Man series, which added giant robots to the concept of tokusatsu shows. The giant robot concept was carried over to Toei and Marvel's next show, Battle Fever J, released in 1979, and was then used throughout the Super Sentai series.

Power Rangers[]

Main article: Power Rangers

In 1993, American production company Saban Entertainment adapted 1992's Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger into Mighty Morphin Power Rangers for the Fox Kids programming block, combining the original Japanese action footage with new footage featuring American actors for the story sequences. Since then, nearly every Super Sentai series that followed became a new season of Power Rangers.[citation needed] Some countries, such as France, Brazil, Thailand, and the Philippines, switched from broadcasting Super Sentai to Power Rangers.[citation needed] In 2002, Saban sold the Power Rangers franchise to Disney's Buena Vista division,[2] who owned it until 2010, broadcasting Power Rangers on ABC Kids, ABC Family, Jetix, and Toon Disney.[citation needed] On 12 May 2010, Saban bought the franchise back from Disney, moving the show to the Nickelodeon network for 2011 with Power Rangers Samurai.[3] On 1 May 2018, toy company Hasbro announced they had acquired the Power Rangers franchise from Saban Capital Group for $522 million.[4]

Power Rangers Dino Force Brave[]

Distribution[]

Template:Multiple issues Although the Super Sentai series originated in Japan, various Sentai series have been imported and dubbed in other languages for broadcast in several other countries.

Europe[]

Bioman, Flashman, Maskman, Liveman, Turboranger, Fiveman, and Jetman were broadcast in France in the 1980s and early 1990s, with Maskman and Liveman marketed as Bioman 2 and Bioman 3, respectively.[citation needed] Additionally, Liveman, Turboranger, and Jetman were broadcast in Spain and Portugal. Denjiman, Goggle-V, Sun Vulcan and Battle Fever J were broadcast in Italy. In addition, some episodes of Bioman and Turboranger were released on VHS in Greece. By the early 1990s, the Sentai broadcasts were replaced by Power Rangers.

Asia[]

Malaysia[]

Various Sentai series were broadcast in Malaysia starting with Choudenshi Bioman during the mid 1980's, dubbed in English and later in Malay starting in 1990. However these were replaced by the American-produced Power Rangers in 1995.

Indonesia[]

Various Sentai series were broadcast in Indonesia, the most popular being Dai Sentai Goggle V, during the late 80s to the early 2000s, dubbed in Bahasa Indonesia. Some of them include Kousoku Sentai Turboranger that is known in Indonesia as Pasukan Turbo (Turbo Squad), Gosei Sentai Dairanger that is known as Star Ranger and Ninja Sentai Kakuranger that is known as Ninja Ranger. The Power Rangers series were also broadcast, beginning with the first in the series, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Nowadays, the Super Sentai series, alongside other Japanese tokusatsu series are fansubbed into Bahasa Indonesia and posted on public Internet sites for online viewing and downloading.

Thailand[]

Almost all Super Sentai shows were broadcast in Thailand since the 1980s, a year following their Japanese debut. They were exclusively broadcast on Channel 9 from the late 1980s to early 1990s until they were replaced by the American-produced Power Rangers. Since then, the series have appeared on various channels.

Vietnam[]

In Vietnam, most of the Super Sentai series were fansubbed into Vietnamese and posted on public Internet sites. Phuong Nam Film licensed Vietnamese distribution of Super Sentai series, starting with Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger in 2003, which was the best-selling series in the country at that time.

In 2007, Phuong Nam Film continued to release the Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger series. The following Sentai series were released: Mahou Sentai Magiranger (2008); GoGo Sentai Boukenger (2009-2010); Engine Sentai Go-onger (2011); Samurai Sentai Shinkenger (2012); Tensou Sentai Goseiger (2013); then released DVD only as Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger (2014) and Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters (2015) series. Since 2016, Phuong Nam Film has collaborated with children's TV channel Sao TV to broadcast Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger, then Ressha Sentai ToQger and finally Shuriken Sentai Ninninger. Therefore, the production of Super Sentai DVD, VCD or broadcast of Super Sentai series on TV channels has ended.

The Philippines[]

In the late 1970s, J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai was the first Sentai series to be shown in the Philippines. Choudenshi Bioman (the last tokusatsu dubbed in English on Philippine television) and Hikari Sentai Maskman (the first Super Sentai series dubbed in Filipino on IBC) were broadcast in the Philippines in the 1980s. Choudenshi Bioman was so popular that many people from that generation came to associate all the Super Sentai series as continuations of it,[original research?] and Hikari Sentai Maskman was marketed as Bioman 2 Maskman on local TV. During the early 1990s, some other series were shown, such as Kousoku Sentai Turboranger, Chikyu Sentai Fiveman and Chōjin Sentai Jetman which became the last Sentai series to broadcast on ABC5 in 1994. Dai Sentai Goggle-V was also aired on RPN 9 in 1998 every Sunday morning. From 1995 to 1999 and 2004 to 2015, ABS-CBN aired the American-produced Power Rangers.

South Korea[]

Super Sentai has been broadcast in South Korea, dubbed in Korean. The first such series was Choushinsei Flashman which aired as Jigu Bangwidae Flash Man (Earth Defence Squadron Flashman), released in video format in 1989 by the Daeyung Panda video company; this was followed by Hikari Sentai Maskman and Chodenshi Bioman. Throughout the 1990s, Dai Sentai Goggle Five, Dengeki Sentai Changeman, Choujuu Sentai Liveman, and Kousoku Sentai Turboranger were also released in video format. In the 2000s and early 2010s, Tooniverse (formerly Orion Cartoon Network), JEI-TV (Jaeneung Television), Champ TV/Anione TV (Daewon Broadcasting), Cartoon Network South Korea, and Nickelodeon South Korea have broadcast Super Sentai series a year following their original Japanese broadcast, but have changed the titles to "Power Rangers".[6][7][8] Recently,[when?] there have been broadcasts of Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger, Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger, Mahō Sentai Magiranger, GoGo Sentai Boukenger, Juken Sentai Gekiranger, Engine Sentai Go-onger, Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger, Tensou Sentai Goseiger, Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters, Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger, Ressha Sentai ToQger, Shuriken Sentai Ninninger, Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger, Uchu Sentai Kyuranger, Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger, Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger and Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger under the titles of Power Rangers Dino Thunder, Power Rangers S.P.D., Power Rangers Magic Force, Power Rangers Treasure Force, Power Rangers Wild Spirits, Power Rangers Engine Force, Power Rangers Jungle Force, Power Rangers Miracle Force, Power Rangers Captain Force, Power Rangers Go-Busters, Power Rangers Dino Force, Power Rangers Train Force, Power Rangers Ninja Force, Power Rangers Animal Force, Power Rangers Galaxy Force, Power Rangers Dino Soul Power Rangers Lupin Force VS Patrol Force and Power Rangers Zenkaiger, respectively.[original research?] Furthermore, Power Rangers Dino Force has the South Korea-exclusive sequel called Power Rangers Dino Force Brave. Currently South Korea is re airing Power Rangers Animal Force and is set to broadcast Avataro Sentai Donbrothers as Power Rangers Donbrothers sometime this fall.

Hong Kong[]

Known as the 超級戰隊系列 or simply as the 戰隊系列 in Cantonese was first broadcast in the late 1970s and early 1980s, with a Cantonese dub of Himitsu Sentai Gorenger followed by J.A.K.Q Dengekitai which aired on Commercial TV. In the late 1980s TVB began dubbing and airing the series with 1987's Hikari Sentai Maskman, which was then followed by 1990's Kouseku Sentai Turboranger, and 1992's Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger. Following Zyuranger's broadcast on TVB in 1995 the Series would make it's way to ATV where it would be its home for the next three years. ATV would proceed to dub and air, 1993's Gosei Sentai Dairanger, 1994's Ninja Sentai Kakuranger and 1995's Chouriki Sentai Ohranger. In 1998, the Super Sentai series would return to TVB however, instead of broadcasting 1996's Gekisou Sentai Carranger the series that came after Ohranger where ATV last dubbed TVB decide to dub and air it's American Counterpart Power Rangers Turbo along with 1991's Chiyku Sentai Fiveman. The following year in 1999, TVB would broadcast 1992's Chojin Sentai Jetman before returning to the more recent series at the time. TVB would then proceed to dub and broadcast Denji Sentai Megaranger, Seijuu Sentai Gingaman, Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger, Ninpuu Sentai Hurricanger, Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger, Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger, Mahō Sentai Magiranger, GoGo Sentai Boukenger, Juken Sentai Gekiranger, Engine Sentai Go-Onger, Samurai Sentai Shinkenger, Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters, Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger, Ressha Sentai ToQger, Shuriken Sentai Ninninger, Uchu Sentai Kyuranger, Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger vs Keisatsu Sentai Patranger, Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger and most recently Mashin Sentai Kiramager. TVB airs the Super Sentai Series every Sunday from 9:30-10:00.

In past years, Hong Kong would be 2-3 seasons behind Japan until in 2018 following the broadcast of Shuriken Sentai Ninninger, TVB decided to skip over Dobusatu Sentai Zyuohger to air the most recently finished Sentai Uchu Sentai Kyuranger thus causing Hong Kong to be a year behind Japan. However, with Hong Kong being a year behind following Kyuranger's run in Hong Kong, TVB couldn't broadcast the next Sentai a week after Kyuranger's run like they traditionally do since it would still be airing in Japan and there would be a monthlong gap between the finale of Kyuranger in Hong Kong and the finale of the next season in Japan. To fit the monthlong gap, TVB would find cartoons to air, with the next season Lupinranger vs Patranger to air on TVB on week following its finale in Japan. TVB would continue doing this up until 2021 following their premiere of Mashin Sentai Kiramager.

TVB was scheduled to air 2021's Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger on March 13, 2022, a week following the conclusion of Mashin Sentai Kiramager's broadcast, however due to the COVID-19 Pandemic in Hong Kong, TVB was unable to get a sufficient amount of episodes dubbed that could be aired during the lockdown it was moved to an unknown date. On May 8, 2022, it was announced that TVB is set to broadcast Zenkaiger every Sunday from 9:30 am-10:00am starting on June 5.[citation needed]
