ERod vs Super Sentai 4 | Carranger & Megaranger

The journey continues with the series that saved the franchise and the one that is nothing like Power Rangers In Space.

"I've heard people call Turbo the worst Power Rangers season"
Let me introduce to two other seasons: Overdrive and Megaforce.

I am so happy you are enjoying Super Sentai Erod! :)

Erod i would like to say thanks for making my childhood during the Channel Awesome days & i'm glad to find out you still upload despite what happened

Red Racer's actor Kishi Yuji is also the voice actor for Street Fighter's Ken Masters since Street Fighter 3 and was once married to Dekaranger's Deka Pink actress Kikuchi Mika for 4 years before they divorced. Mika then married her Dekaranger co-star Yoshida Tomokazu who played Deka Break. Red Racer/Kyosuke also returned in the Carranger Tribute episode of Gokaiger which somehow the alien scientist from Zangyack fell in love with him. (Another female alien!?)

Also RIP, Motohashi Yuka/Natsumi/Yellow Racer.

In the Megaranger Tribute episode of Gokaiger, Kenta becomes a teacher at his old school and is the advisor for his old IT club. Each Megaranger is given a special ability based on the symbols on the helmet. Mega Red is a Computer which enables Mega Red to analyse and counter any enemy attacks (The irony is that Kenta doesn't know how to use a real computer). This is also the start of the Red Ranger who is less serious, unlike previous Red Rangers who are serious and usually the leader. Mega Black was the leader instead.

If I am not wrong, from Carranger up to Hurricanger, if there is a human villain in the show, the actresses are usually softcore adult actresses from Toei V-cinema series which focuses on more mature movies like the cult movie Lady Battle Cop.

I don't think anyone is calling Turbo the worst PR season. At least not anymore.

[squeethemog]

Wooo! I've been waiting for the next part. Thank you so much Erod :D

So the Ohranger Carranger cancelation saving thing is actually a myth. It was really Fiveman and Jetman. Also Ohranger was one of the highest selling toylines of the franchise

The phantom ranger was a 6th ranger in turbo and the idea was to have a crush on Cassady.

And if you watch Linkara review of turbo and in space he said it apost to be the pahtom ranger apost to be the past power rangers or the sprit of it.

As always, it's great to hear your experience with toku. Hopefully you can share your thoughts on kamen rider one day

[MarioJPC]

Dappu's planet name is a reference to Duke of Hazard

[ricardocerdeira]

I don't know if this is the official explanation, but Tamao Sato (Momo/Oh Pink) became extremely popular in the second half of the 90s. I imagine that her small participation in the crossover with Carranger was due to other commitments.

For those unaware:
The anime "Love After World Domination" is directly inspired by Carranger

I have the opposite opinion about VR Master. I didn't hate him. I thought he was fun take on the "mysterious mentor" troope, however I felt he didn't had much screen time compare to his american counterpart, the Phantom Ranger, and the mystery behind his identity was solve pretty easly (due to some behind the scenes issues, the Phantom Ranger never had his identity revealed, making him one the biggest mysteries in Power Ranger franchise).

On other hand, I actually like Signalman. He was pretty fun and, unlike his PR counterpart, Blue Senturion, the show actually makes him an actual character, we get to see where's his from, his family and the development of his relationship with the Carranger and the people of Earth (in particular the son of the Carranger's boss).

[Dimensioneer]

As Linkara pointed out, the only reason people seem to hate Turbo is because of the mere existence of Justin.

You think Megaranger and In Space are different from each other, wait til you get to Gingaman, the Sentai of Power Rangers Lost Galaxy.

[superkid]

Great video. I never hated Turbo or its film unlike some people. Hearing about its Sentai counterpart is cool, while Space that's interesting. Love In Space, top five favorites. Looking forward to that honest review, love hearing your thoughts

Doctor Who fans will notice the TARDIS sounds whenever they show the bad guys lair in Megaranger, this is because stock sound effects from the BBC were loaned to Toei in the 70s and they still had them on hand when the show was produced. Though I often joke that the 8th Doctor never got his TV show because he was kidnapped and held prisoner by the Nezireija for a year, XD

[Rixec]

I never hated Turbo, but its tone really does jar with what Power Rangers had been doing. Though, the finale is one of the best and really sets up Power Rangers in Space gloriously. It gives us the stakes, the threats, and the mission, an uncertain future awaiting as we go to space.

Official licensed Abaranger episodes with English subtitles are only available on DVD, and not streaming. Same story for Dekaranger. Great seasons though.

carranger save the franchise is a misconception same with ohranger ratings
