Unsolved Mystery of Power Rangers New Powers 

There's a simple explanation for that... *explosions in the background*

For those who wonder what are the martial arts motifs of Maskman/PR Lightning, here they are: Red - Karate Black - Kobudo Blue - Sanshou Yellow - Ninjutsu Pink - Tai Chi Ch'uan

My theory for this mystery: They were a secret elite teams of Rangers, from all over the world, that have never been seen to the public. Some can be affiliated with the government, or was chosen by a mystical being (similar to Zordon). What the writers could have put in was These rangers (Goranger to Jetman) were different secret teams before the first known Power Rangers.

All of those "new powers" could have easily been explained in the show as teams from alien planets like Orion's, I'm legit disappointed that they didn't even bother right then and there. I am glad that they went that route with the Supersonic rangers in later comics; I hope they cover the rest of them, maybe even continuing to tie them back to previous Ranger teams. My headcanon is that they're all alien teams, sharing the same Morphing Grid as the Rangers on Earth. This would explain, among other things, the link between the MMPR White Ranger, the Thunderzords, and the Squadron team: the latter would have been active on their planet at the same time as the MMPR were on Earth, making it possible for Zordon and Alpha to find their signature energy within the Morphing Grid, and, in desperation, refine it into both the "Power of Thunder" and the "White Light of Good" to create the Thunderzords and White Ranger respectively. Tommy must've seen all of those teams in action during his extensive studying, and he got around to documenting/archiving them.

Outside reason: The writer was lazy Inside reason: Something interesting

I’ve come up with backstories for all of these teams, but the simplest one to explain would be the Squadron Rangers: in my mind, they were a team on Eltar that Zordon was a part of. He based the Thunderzords and the White Ranger powers on a team he was familiar with.

4:41 - I think the most egregious thing about that scene in Super Megaforce is that in Gokaiger, Gokai Red turned into Vul-Eagle from “Taiyo Sentai Sun Vulcan”. However, in Super Megaforce, Troy instead turns into Mighty Morphin Red (this is why during Troy’s Legendary Ranger Mode sequence, he’s standing in front of the sun and adjusting his mask in the same way that Gokai Red did when he changed to Sun-Vulcan). This means that instead of just using established Power Rangers for that scene, Saban went out of their way to use pre-Zyuranger suits and made original footage with it. Now, I’ll assume that Tzachor probably thought that Vul-Eagle looked too outdated and bizarre compared to the other Sentai-only Rangers, but if they were going to replace him, why not replace the other Rangers, too? Why double down on using these Rangers if it only complicates the continuity of Power Rangers? I was annoyed when they used Gokaiger footage of pre-Zyuranger Rangers, but the fact that this scene was made specifically for Super Megaforce irks me.

It's always funny to see Saban coming up with (or avoiding) crazy explanations for tokusatsu footages and sentais.

I have a few theories if you want to hear them. The Tommy connection as to why he has all these sentai logos and emblems. They are left over research from the Forever Red Mission looking for more allies to fight the machine Empire. Also left overs from the video he created on the history and legacy of the Power Rangers. He didn't find enough to put them in. Also Squadron Rangers and the MMPR connection. I like to think this was a team that was allied with Zordon at one time. The team either died in battle or vanished with age. Remember the old junk in like the broken Alpha unit in the sub basement of the command center I like to think Zordon had there broken stuff just and when Zedd came he used there old shit to jerry rigg some power ups for the rangers. White was originally a Squadron Ranger and only his morpher and Zord were fully intact. Zordon just had to convert the powers to work with the MMPR and turned them to become a Power coin and power morpher.

I’ve got some ideas on how to adapt the unused sentai. I would make the first seven sentai (Goranger, J.A.K.Q, Battle Fever J, Denziman, Sun Vulcan, Goggle V, Dynaman) the Power Rangers of the golden age, set around the time period of World War I and II. The next three sentai teams (Bioman, Changeman, Flashman) would be aliens from different planets. The next teams (Maskman and Liveman) would be teams that are associated with a secret government association against an alien invasion similar to their sentai counterpart. The last sentai teams to be adapted pre-Zyuranger (Turboranger, Jetman, and Dairanger) all of which I make similar to their sentai counterpart.

There are actual sentai seasons that couldn’t be adapted cause of show being in conjunction with marvel comics at the time and possible legal issues cause of that so the spider-man season for example more then likely will never seen an American adaptation unless marvel chose still do like a competing show that adapts their season if marvel comics still has any legal claim to those seasons

I like the Squadron Rangers’ designs. It would have been perfect if they used it like a third mode for the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers after their ninja form.

I hope Boom! Studios recons most of these “New Powers” from Super Megaforce with all-new origins and adaptations!! (like they did with the Supersonic Rangers)

Lightning Rangers (Maskman) is actually a hit here in the Philippines. It's big part of our childhood in late 80's & early 90's with Bioman, Space sheriff Shaider, Ultraman & Kamen Rider Black. And the actor of Red Maskman is currently living here in the PH.

*Basically they can make them as a faraway ranger teams from ancient time, different planets, galaxy, or even dimensions* . Gosei managed to restore and connect to their powers thru morphin grid, borrowing their power into ranger keys solely to fight againts armada. It only needs less than a minute to explain. Clap to saban. 👏 Same case with 'Gokaiger'. They can make gokaiger as an ancient free spirited pirate squadron/rangers that opposed armada long ago in faraway space. They are capable to gain an access of every rangers power in morphin grid thru their morpher & ranger keys. Thats why gosei borrow their gears. *They can make them as a nameless ranger* . Leaving X rangers as their initial. X means unidentified. Also X can derived from cross symbol from pirate's jolly roger. So it makes sense enough to name the mode : *X mode* rather than lame super megaaa 😒 X mode sounds more catchy and powerful.

Power Ranger theories Theory: Auric the Conqueror, Ninjor, the Magna Defender, RoboKnight, and the Blue Senturion are all the same species. Gosei created them each to guard the planet/the human race. All of them except for the Magna Defender. They are the same species as King Mondo, but Gosei is a higher form that is powerful enough to make powerful creations, unlike King Mondo who can create life but is easily defeatable.

They're from a universe where more sentai got adapted as power rangers than our timeline. Kinda wish they woulda just called it what they are and have the sentai universe just exist alongside power rangers as like a different timeline or something but w/e. I'm just happy I got to see Maskman ♥

I feel like the squadron rangers could be explained as Zordons past team he was on or something and maybe he was the white ranger

For me, I would like to see the Prism or Squadron Rangers because I like their suits.

I really want to know more about the Batallean rangers. They were the least explained team in the whole season. Also Dynaman is one of my favorite Pre-sentai teams

They should have just explained them similarly to RPM. They're just from other universes that also use the Morphin Grid. If they want to explore their stories, that's fine. If they don't, then that's fine too. Either way, they wouldn't complicate the timeline of the prime universe and it will make sense that they are indeed never seen before.

Was waiting for this! Nice recap. I swear Maskman has some the sickest suits next to Dairanger,Kakuranger,Ohranger, and Liveman for me

My theory about the "mysterious ranger teams" was: It was some previous projects Zordon had worked on, kinda like some prototypes to figure out what the Mighty Morphin team might need in their arsenal. Those prototypes was then kept filed in the Command Center. Before Zordon and Alpha 5 left for Eltar(?)(cant remember the name of that planet) he gave the files to Gosei. Gosei carried on with Zordons work while keeping an eye on other ranger teams through the Morphin Grid. When the timeline came to Megaforce most to the prototypes was a complete "new" team, explaining the "never before seen" teams and some had full potentials unlocked through surtain events. I know its not the most thought through theory but its one where I would have thought: "Make sense"

It would have been great to give Japan a shout out when using those teams. Maybe give an explanation, like they were an ancient team from Japan. From what I remember on MMPR, Zordon never said Jason and the original team were the first rangers.

It would be great to introduce Squadron into the canon because there’s already some lore fuel existing : zords, mythology, possible return of past rangers etc... Wich makes me think of something that could, but most probably couldn’t happen in the future for power rangers : having a series with old super sentai costumes but entirely original when it comes to footages ! It Would be great. I’m a sentai fan because i grew up with these shows and power rangers was pretty much sidelined during my childhood but comics proved to be amazingly written with great storylines and epic lore so why not adapt it in series format or video game or movie or whatever ahahah ! Great vids btw ;)

Hopefully we can see the video of dynaman’s adaptation soon

These unknown rangers are more OG than US Power Rangers (which is an adaptation). They are 80s-90s sentais. Asians know them for sure. You should also feature the scarved sentais which are way back 70s.

the rangers you are talking about are the super sentai force( where originally started from Japan). the lightning rangers are called here in the Philippines... the "Laser Squadron Maskmen". the once with musical note on the helmet are the "Livemen"... Its was verry popular here during my chilhood. Im already 37 yrs old and have my own family... Those ragers the Maskmen and Livemen were famus during the early 90's and I've enjoyed it. I even see the movie from time to time if im in the mood.

They really should make some more ancillary media that explains these new powers. They did it with the Sonic team, and they’d better give the other teams the same treatment someday.

Imagine Dino Fury exploring the origins of the morphing grid and these guys are a part of it

this is why one needs to watch the Sentai.

Cool video man. It would be cool to see the Battalion Rangers/Dynaman get some attention. I can see their design being somewhat of an influence on the Omega Rangers in the comics.

If the squadron rangers get their powers from or use the lightning megazord, it would be great to see them in the comics in some weird mixup with the mmpr team as they assemble the megazord.

They're just lazy messes shoe horned in by Saban

The original theme Lighting Rangers AKA Hikari Sentai Maskman were actually about martial arts, also they're the 1st Sentai Series that introduces separate vehicles to each rangers and also 1st introduces the 6th Ranger concept and 2 mechas AKA Zords

Yay ! Finally my comment got attention On you video on power rangers squadron mode, I wrote a comment that what are blitz power rangers. And here we are

I’m a big fan of Multiverse theory myself. I like to think Megaforce was a different dimension entirely.

Cool video

Personal theory, ranger teams before the mighty morphin team were erased, and the reason why MMPR onwards wasn’t erased was because of the sixth rangers, if the green ranger never existed ranger teams would continue to be erased

I always loved Megaforce as that "Checkpoint" season. Like its that season that's basically the Nostalgia season

i always love to think that the squadron rangers were a team before mmpr, they were his first ever team of rangers (on earth), they managed to save the world but died along the way, but the thing is there were only 5 of them, the sixth white ranger suit and zord never been use bc he couldn't find someone to use them, and when he saw that Tommy needed help he gave it to him and told him all about the other teams that were and thats why there were all those symbols of pre-zyuranger teams on his desk in dino thunder

I want the Prism Rangers being the next one getting the Supersonic Rangers treatment.

I want people to stop saying that the Diaranger powers (Squadron Ranger Powers) were not used. They most certainly were it was the 5 main suits that were never seen on Earth. As MMPR White was the Squadron Sixth ranger suit. They were the Thunder Powers. Simply adjust to leave the costume the to appear the same at that time. The Z-wave from the end of In Space wiped out the Villian whose presence required the secrecy thus allowing the Mega Force team to use the powers without the Subterfuge.

You know, I’m surprised they didn’t use the footage for when the Gokaigers used the Bioman powers. I mean, that was what Saban was originally going to use as the first Power Rangers show, so it would have been a neat little reference, even if it wouldn’t exactly make sense in universe.

yes i would love to see a dynaman vid:)

Many of guys don't know but in some frames Gorenger and Jetmam were actually seen. So its confirm the pre-zyuranger (Gorenger to Jetman)teams also exist. I think the pre-zordon era rangers. I think it will be better if it explored. Even if Himetsu Sentai King Ohoger adapted, it will be first team of rangers.

Umm the true of that case that they use is super sentai rangers from the kaizuko sentai gokaiger and its from japan they use Dynaman Maskman Flashman Fiveman Changeman Dairanger

There are groups of Super Sentai that some have not heard if...but all of Power Rangers are accounted for.

Super sonic Power Rangers were originally known as Chiryu Sentai Fiveman in Japan. It's also accurate that they were introduced as rangers that were came from other planet because in It's original source, the members of Super Sonic rangers were actually aliens that escaped from there home planet alongside with a robot who became their guardinas after it was attacked by forces of evil led by Empress Medow, additional info is that all of the members of Super Sonic Rangers AKA Fiveman were actually siblings and became teachers in planet Earth after they grow up. Sadly this Super Sentai Series almost killed the franchise in Japan but got saved by the other series after. Here in the Philippines 🇵🇭, Chiryu Sentai Fiveman is one of the most popular Sentai Series during the 90's especially to the 90's kids like me.

I like to know more about all of the teams that may be a bit of a cop-out to say that but it's true having some probably be the best way to do the back origin backstories in the origins forum and maybe an upcoming Seasons each one get a spotlight episode either more likely through a team up due to team up with one of them and then they get their own series after that team up Ted just want to Sears a year until they get all adapt to do to a year if that would be feasible either either financially or otherwise

My answer: Sentai Six, or Kamen Five. Also i want the masked riders to appear one day, maybe dex could have a return idk

Lightning Ranger is Called Maskman

Simplest of all explanation for all its from super sentai since it is where they based from. The battalion rangers are the Kagaku Sentai Dynaman The blits rangers are the Dengeki Sentai Changeman the prism rangers are Choushinsei Flashman the lightning rangers are the Hikari Sentai Maskman the super sonic rangers are the Chikyuu Sentai Fiveman and the squadron rangers are the Gosei Sentai Dairanger

I'm really glad that they put Super Sentai naming them Lighting, Prism and Supersonic and i Hope that Karone will told them that She kill the Prism Rangers when She was teen while Trip will told them that the Supersonic are his people because they have a diamond in their forehead

They could be from other planets such as Alien Rangers and Lost Galaxy Rangers or other dimension such as RPM

Dynaman, Changeman, Flashman, Maskman and Dairanger will be adapted to 5 Power Rangers tv series. But also Bioman will be adapted to the sixth Power Rangers tv series because it has a English dubbed version show in Philippines.

i have a theory that solves the unadapted sentai teams mystery. basically the morphing grid is basically like a huge ocean (not literally) universes that happen to drift into the grid gain access to power ranger powers. one scientist found out of the existing of the grid and tried to gain its power (like in beast morphers) however the plan failed and caused a breaking in the grid, causing a glitch in the grid that caused some universes to be blocked out from the grid. however they're ranger teams were not forgotten, just partially being unknown. (also if they returned in a power rangers special they would call themselves super sentai because power rangers was not a decided name for the teams at the time of there link to the grid) that glitch in the grid would kind of also be like in the spiderverse movie where objects and people randomly get teleported to other universes. it would explain why the thunder zords were in mmpr

In my head they're just powers from other alternate timelines, like RPM

simple... put every ranger sharing in one suit in power ranger squadron... like jason and rocky, trini and aisha, Zack and Adam kendrix and karone... that would make, Tommy(white squadron)... Rocky(red squadron)... Adam(green squadron)... Aisha(yellow squadron)... Karone(pink squadron)...

With the first legend war ending in a draw 10,000 years ago these were teams that fell

I’m guessing every Super Sentai team before Mighty Morphin are extra terrestrials?

I mean the explanation for these unknown teams is kind of a simple one, There all the Super Sentai teams we never got in America. So it means that this team of super pirate rangers has the power to tap into the Core of the Morphing Grid it self. Thus they could call upon the power of "any team that has tap into the morphing grid."

Definitely wanna know more about the squadron

My dude that was awesome! Hey when exactly are you going to use the logo animation I made ya?

As for reason VulEagle couldn’t be in the ep. due to copyright problem with Marvel.

Omg yaaaaaas new vid I cant belive I didn't get a notification

They used super sentai suits and shots from gokaiger. That's all the explanation needed. Oh and lazy writing on the shows behalf . there saved you the trouble.

I think that the explanation is likely similar to what occurs with most adaptations of existing material. When things are ported over from a different medium, especially one that is originally in a different language, there is a lot that can be lost either in the translation or lack of context for things due to a difference in cultures. in this case, we have a missing portion in that not all sentai's where adapted so it gives them a smaller pool to use preexisting footage or to make new footage that is as compelling because once you open up to "there are many new powers" it gets boring to see stuff you are already accustomed to, or at least that's what I believe. i think that execution wise it is very lazy to justify adding never before seen teams on the basis that you said they have access to powers beyond those seen on earth because it opens the can of worms that anything goes. in writing this is usually a sign of wanting to please the audience with something interesting and new without doing the work to explain it to your audience assuming they won't look into those things. again this is just my speculation based on the information provided. Anyways, thanks for the cool vid este and it'd be cool to hear about the lightning rangers. for some reason i get a lost in space mixed with zeo vibe from their outfits haha

Squadron needs an explanation witch should be connected to the thunder zords. We are in season two in the comics now so maybe we can get one

I personally don’t mind the idea of adapting sentai only rangers if they actually explained. They could be from the future like S.P.D or Time Force or maybe alien power rangers like the Mighty Morphin Alien rangers or from another dimension like rpm or Dino Charge/Dino Super Charge or power rangers before the Mighty Morphin. We know that there were power rangers before the mighty morphin era

Quick explanation from what sentai team theese guys are Prism - flash man Lightning - maskman Something famillar to white ranger in mighty morphing - dairanger Blitz - changeman Another one - five man Pitalian Italian ranger? - dynamn

Kyurangers should be adapted as a series taking place in the RPM universe.

The original super sentai season (Gokaiger) that super megaforce was based on has the power to henshin into all other super sentai rangers,and since the writer for super megaforce didnt bother with consistency and neither did saban, they just used all this super sentai footage with rangers that never had a power rangers adaptations (flashman,changeman, etc)because fuck logic, with the stupid excuse that they are "new powers" - mystery solved.

I'm not sure why people got so upset about Super Mega Force having some Ranger transformations from Sentai-only seasons. I'm not sure why "they're from Power Rangers stationed on other planets that never came to Earth" is not an acceptable explanation for them. While most of them have come to Earth at some point, how is it any different from them using Aquitian Ranger, In Space or Lost Galaxy powers? These powers were all stationed elsewhere in the galaxy from Earth. Heck, did Lost Galaxy even come to Earth in their own series (they were only there for the first episode and they weren't Rangers at that point IIRC), wasn't the show's location almost exclusively space colony Terra Venture, Miranoi and the extended galaxy? Zordon knew about the Aquitar Rangers before we saw them on screen, and it was heavily implied he had already met them and knew of them before they were first featured, yet we went almost three whole seasons without any mention of them, so I don't see why people see it as such a stretch that Gosei would have equivalent knowledge of non-Earthbound Ranger Teams without them needing a focus episode first. I don't think there was ever any real need to explain it, and it gives the franchise something cool to expand upon in the future via comics or an animated series or whatever. And for my part, I think the variety was nice, and helped the canon and universe feel that much bigger for it. Don't get me wrong, Super Mega Force was still a bad (terrible, even) season, but featuring powers that had not been previously demonstrated is not at all the reason why IMO. It was not at all out of place for anyone that has been watching the show from the start.

Def the squadron rangers. I love the designs of the dairangers, and I love the episode in Gokaiger with dai red

I’d like to hear more about the Blitz Rangers. It just sounds cool to me.

The fact they used sunvulcan background didn't surprise me

when ryusoulger got adpated este yes boi and me yes boi it is cool

What happened to Toxicant & Jintrax

Yes

7:23 maybe Tommy has been to the super sentai universe 😂

Prism rangers were recently in the heir to darkness comic so maybe theyre slowly gonna include all of em?

if look closely on 8:24 could see a few more teams that have been adapted in Korea like that team of playing card rangers like the J.A.K.Q team their known as Lucky Ace at the time Jetman for here was gonna be called Skyforce as their adaptable name and Bioman as Bio-Man and that team has familiar names and a couple a couple names that are different red as Victor Lee, blue as Billy Cranston, pink as Kimberly Harte only thing different about her name is different Kim in mmpr has no letter e in her last name, black as Zack Taylor same name and lastly yellow is Trini Crystal same first name to the yellow ranger with a different last name and theirs a page for this team on the RangerWiki and yeah I agree that need an explanation of the original team with the omega rangers the three of them are the same people Black/Zack, Red/Jason, Yellow/Trini though whoever their 5th member of the team is of the omega rangers that I can’t wait to know about

Dairanger always forgotten, sigh, only The white ranger of it remembered (first picture 00:00)

I love your power ranger videos and I think your next vid should be about why Ninja Steel/Super Ninja Steel is the worst season. (Except for together we are family in Family fusion that is a good song between Brody and Levi.) One Reason for me: MIDONINGER I want you to talk about Jetman OR Talk about the genderswap in Super Sentai LupinRanger Vs Patranger

All of these were seen on Earth, super sentai. Heck the squadron rangers are the bases for season 2 of mmpr. White ranger is the sixth ranger for them

I just thought of something Hasbro could do if they decide to animate power rangers, very should adapt these series of lost ranger teams as animated series as prequels to MMPR to explain the team origin and justify there exist.

I recently found out that Hasbro also has the rights of the sentais from showa era.

I think the blitzes rangers were the best new power sets and they should be explained

The disliked are from all the ranger stunt actors who didn't get to say a line in super megaforce

Simple explanation of you know what super sentai is then this is Easley explained because saban uses stock forage from sentai in power rangers

I would be intrested to see a comic series where Tommy actually meets maby even ceeates them wich could also explain why the white Tiger Ranger is a part of Squadron.

I would love to see a video on Dynaman.

Hey este love this vid and can you tell me what site i can watch kaizoku sentai gokaiger please

8:11 But hey thats just a theory. A RANGER THEORY!

I'm watching this with low volume so I kept hearing prison rangers and prison attacks lol

Look this is what entwhistle needs to do with this new universe

hey este their is a plot hole in the whole super megaforce series and its that if rangers can morph into spd rangers which are rangers of far future so why can't they morph into the future rangers running now ( like ninja steel or dino charge) pls explain this in your video

Squadron rangers.

I would like to know more about blitz rangers they look really cool
