Tommy: I might be old, but I can still bring it

Pretty sure that the “Hexagon” draft was the only thing that had the Dark Yellow Ranger idea… That might have been something that was still considered even after it became Ninja Storm, though…

@Jarkes  
Competition is pretty much the reason it was there. if an Ultraman knock-off could do what a sentai couldn’t, that’d pretty much kill the sentai era.
 
and Tentoraiger actually WAS considered in Ninja Storm, but was cut.
 
@Jarkes  
To be fair, JDF holds a bit more weight in the ranger commuity

@OneOverTwo
 
That episode honestly felt very mean-spirited to me.

@Chapelseed
 
Considering that many of them threw a fit when Robert Baldwin was in Kyoryuger…

@Chapelseed
 
Yeah, I’m pretty darn sure that Akibaranger’s producers had no idea of the existence of Amit Bhaumik’s fanfiction early plans for Ninja Storm that was known as Hexagon (but let’s be real here; that whole thing REEKED of bad fanfiction). Heck, I don’t think anyone knew of its existence until Linkara talked about it on his History of Power Rangers video series. TentoRaiger was likely just a nod to how often times, beetle-themed heroes in Japanese media will have a third member based on a ladybug. That’s actually a good point on the other bits, though that DOESN’T explain where that out-of-nowhere Ultraman parody came from, other than that Ultraman is made by one of Toei’s top competitors.
 
Though the first season of Akibaranger had some Power Rangers references as well (the scorpion tattoo springs to mind).

church of oliver dogma states he gets pinkie

Celestia: Aren’t you a little old for this Tommy?
 
And I’ll let you figure out the rest :P

and…. all the girls crush on him.

@OneOverTwo  
copyrights. which is interesting because the entirety of season 2 was based on the power rangers fandom.
 
removing Dairanger, the americanization of Zyuranger, and the third Gouraiger (Thunder Storm Ranger).

@Chapelseed  
Thanks for the explanation, though I feel the need to mention that I don’t like be called a rookie since I’m more of an “outsider” than a “rookie”.  
Also, how come they couldn’t use the name “Power Rangers”? It seems a bit weird that they couldn’t is all.

@OneOverTwo  
to put it bluntly, Tyranno Ranger and Dragon Ranger of Zyuranger were brothers, Geki and Burai. the song of the Zyusoken, or Dragon Dagger. It is the call of an ancient ritual.
 
In Zyuranger, Burai died, and Geki used the power of Zyusoken and the Dragon Ranger armor along with the rest of the Zyuranger team to defeat Bandora (aka, Rita).
 
the song connects to the brothers as it does to Dragon Caesar.
 
To hear that tune released the americanization of the two and allowed them to regain their sense.

@Chapelseed  
I thought the point of Akibaranger was that it was unofficial. Why did it work then, explain please so that I might understand.

@OneOverTwo  
watch what you say, buddy, that’s my club on dA. and it was a rights issue.  
though I really shouldn’t be surprised that a rookie doesn’t understand the reason behind how it worked

@Chapelseed  
I saw the “Powerful Rangers” episode (Why did they call them that? Were there rights issues or something?) (Only episode of it I watched). That episode suffered from a severe lack of taking advantage of its premise, (the only clever joke was the “overly muscled comic book depiction). Also I was confused as to why the Dragon Caeser music snapped them out of it since that music was used in Power Rangers too.  
& Akibaranger is unofficial so it doesn’t count.

@OneOverTwo  
it caused problems with the lack thereof in the Zyuranger episode of Akibaranger

@Chapelseed  
Boy, that’d cause some “problems”.

now that’d be interesting.
 
but still, what sentai fans would give for Jason David Frank to be in Super Sentai for at least an episode.
