Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 сер 2024
- I've always wondered what was the difference between Power Rangers and Super Sentai. Following on from my first video that compared Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers with its Japanese (Super Sentai) counterpart; Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger - this time we turn our attention to the basis of Season 2 - Gosei Sentai Dairanger.

#PowerRangers #Dairanger #SuperSentai - Розваги
I will say this: Whoever at Saban thought up of Lord Zedd's design should be given several raises.
Read this in Pemelo Retro voice 😂
Eat American costume in the show
They definitely should've used the Dairanger suits for Power Rangers
I used to believe that, but it’s for the best that they didn’t.
@@pn2294 it really wasn’t
@@ch2010ize the Zyuranger suits are iconic to PR fans
It’s similar to how heroes like Superman, Batman, and Spider-Man go back to their OG suits a lot of time
@@pn2294 They have a perfect excuse to diss the old one and upgrade it to the Dairanger one.
Instead of just Tommy, give them all new power as upgrade or something.
@@Aibadenshi no they didn’t
That would risk alienating their audience
Maybe they should have switched to the Dairanger suits when they introduced the White Ranger. Could have sold more toys as well. Make it about giving all the rangers new powers instead of just Tommy. Probably didn't want to have to explain why the green ranger had to go away, but Dairanger had a green ranger and not a black ranger type of thing.
I think the original uniforms did have something special. To yank them away from impressionable kids who have just began the fan period could have cost money.
Not paying the original cast more probably nuked the momentum more than anything else.
It made sense that Saban wanted to keep the original suits over DaiRanger suits. The Zyuu Ranger suits was essentially the face of the series, so why confuse parents and grandparents with new ranger powers and suits.
I grew up in japan as a kid and Dairanger was so dope! Can’t believe they didn’t use the martial arts theme of this in the us ranger series
I can. The more realistic martial arts would have been a no-go. Plus it was more violent than most Sentai shows, the gimp suits on the Gorma... Plus my memory is that the Dairanger suits were basically paper and they were knocked out of their powers really easily.
@@PissedGruntythat last thing isn’t always true but sometimes is, the power suits can be inconsistent in sentai sometimes
@@PissedGruntyas a practicaner of eagle claw kung fu like the pink ranger in the DaiSentai I can assure you most of those moves are unrealistic
I’m one of those who wish for the diaranger suits in season 2.
I don't. The Zyuranger suits are iconic. Not only that, but I don't like it when Power Rangers doesn't film it's own footage, and I imagine Saban would have just been cheap and converted the Japanese footage had they not continued with the Zyuranger suits.
@@jaywest3734 The Zyuranger suits are overrated.
@@adeptdamage3669 No they're not lol. I'd say the MMPR, In Space, and maybe Time Force suits are like my top 3 rangers suits. Zeo and Turbo weren't bad either.
@@jaywest3734 Nah they were its your nostalgia.
me too
Rip to shishi ranger a.k.a green dairanger a.k.a daigo.. He died in 2017
It's a shame they didn't go with the ranger footage, I love the dairanger suits.
I feel Saban not useing all the dairanger suits was a mistake on their part so much they could have done.
Linkara had a point about the Zyuranger suits being iconic.
@@pn2294i guess
That isn't a fart at the end of fortification
It's a japanese anime shine sound effect
A lot of Japanese series use cartoony sounds
I'm sure he wanted to make a joke out of it but frankly, i wasn't laughing. It ticked me out a bit but eh.. I'll continue watching
Dairanger is basically a Japanese take on Chinese mythology and history. Qi or chi is pretty much the same stuff in Dragonball Z.
Dragonball is one manga . Z is what what the anime version of the latter half of dragonball is called .
@@stewie17 no it’s not. You’re thinking of Naruto.
@@joerioryuurisakakiidk7482 No, he's correct. Dragon Ball is one manga series, the first 16 volumes were adapted into the anime "Dragon Ball", and the last 26 volumes volumes were adapted into a separate anime "Dragon Ball Z" because of the large timeskip between those parts. But there is no such thing as a "Dragon Ball Z" manga. Though the US release of the manga does call the latter volumes Dragon Ball Z, it's simply because it's more familiar to US fans, in Japan the manga is purely "Dragon Ball.
No mention of the Dairanger suits' out-of-nowhere appearances in Super Megaforce?
Super Mega Force probably needs its own video.
Or a trashcan where it belongs
There's a simple explanation for that.
Yeah, they wasted a chance to connect them to the White ranger.
Far too complex for you to understand.
IMO they totally could have used the Dairanger suits and footage. imagine an alternate Season 2 where Zedd changes his strategy and sends down the Dairanger henchmen (which can SHAPESHIFT, automatically making them more of a threat) to fight the rangers instead of slightly different looking putties.
Awesome review. I love how you fairly compared the two.ratherbthan destroying one series.
Love gorenger bioman jetman fiveman zyuranger great ranger hidden ranger ohranger carranger megaranger gingaman gogofive gaoranger timeranger hurricanger dekaranger 📼
I did not know that the differences were this big. Very good content!
PLEASE DO MORE OF THESE !! I am an original mmpr fan and recently got into Super Sentai and these videos are incredible !
I googled the differences and this video came up , I’ve now watched your other PR videos and they are all amazing. I see your other videos don’t generally have the same view count so if you wanted maybe making this a power ranger / Sentai channel would increase your subscribers and view counts exponentially?
Please do more as these videos are why I’m now a subscriber. Great work and thank you.
It's a fair point - they are the most popular videos, but we'll see. I do this around my full-time job so I like to dip in and out of various things.
But as an update - Turbo vs Carranger is being filmed now. Editing takes a while but it's on it's way.
The script for 'In Space' vs Megaranger is 90% done.
Dairanger was a great Sentai series but very bad adapted
You mean partially-adapted, right?!
@@xgray2012 Agreed.
Neo-Xgray87 but “partially” is actually the heavy job part from super sentai (TOEI)
So nope,, mmpr still nothing compare dairanger
Cuz adapting a Chinese-centric show is a no-no in the US
There's some concept art that show that they pitched updating the Dinozords rather than using the Thunderzords (and the upgraded zords would even combine with the White Thunderzord). Toei was on board, but it would cost extra. So they just decided to go the cheaper route and use Thunderzords instead.
goo.gl/images/XsTPji
Imagine they give everyone the Dairanger instead of just Tommy.
They got so lucky that the Dairanger suits were close enough
I’ve been watching Dairanger over at the Shout Factory site. It was a fun show! It reminds me a lot of old-school superhero comics by the likes of Stan Lee or Roy Thomas. (And yes, I’m aware of Stan’s interesting connection to the Power Rangers franchise, before that name itself had even existed.)
Serprenterra was used to attack the Power Rangers in a few episodes but it couldn't finnish the ranbgers off cause it kept having to recharge. Now i understand why since in dairanger the Dragon god was neutrural.
You mean Lawful Neutral.
I was always confused as to how they were able to get footage of Dairanger White, with all the other Zyurangers in the same shot, I had no idea they were able to commission Japanese Sentai for MMPR specific footage for America, it never confused me as a kid because I was oblivious, but as I got older I always wondered how they pulled that off. Great video! 👍
You know what they could have done with the remaining Zyu2 footage? Kept the original zords for a few episodes and add exposition about that the zords are being outclassed until eventually the zords are completely destroyed like what happened to the Thunderzords, Zordon and Alpha then recycle what they can into the Thunderzords.
Good vid 👌🏾 will definetely watch the other two also
I'm a simple man. I see a video about Power Rangers/Sentai. I click and watch it.
I was so confused why Serpinterra was attacking a floating pyramid when I was a kid. I was wondering where it came from in the first place, too. Now knowing it was the bad guys' base now made sense.
Haha yeah that confused me as a kid also. I think I ended up convincing myself that it was where the Rangers were trying to get the sword from, but the floating pyramid and the random planet thing really should have been dropped (or explained better).
I think I just got convinced to start buying Sentai DVD sets by this channel just out of curiosity lol
They have the seasons on the tubi app
I hope we get all the footage of Bandora/Rita in the moon palace one day. You can usually tell when it’s the footage as her mouth actually matches what she says (Magic wand make my goldar/monster grow etc). They even did that once with Lani/Scorpina, where they got the actress to say “Go putty patrol! Attack the power rangers!”. I dunno why but that sort of lost footage is so interesting.
Where did you get the unaired zyu2 footage like the Venus flytrap monster fight?
I always loved how when Pipebrain (Baron String's MMPR counterpart) appears after Zedd transforms him from the trophy, he's moving his arm up and down in a yo-yoing motion
Nice video! If you're ever up for collaborating on a power rangers vid let me know. Been wanting to do something on it for a while!
Dairanger's roll call is one of the most memorable through out the years, although yes that sound effect at the end sounds like fart
The Japanese White Ranger was a kid. Why do I feel this is where they got the idea for Justin in Turbo.
the bad guys were mud puppets reincarnated and didn't know they were mud puppets once they're defeated
You can see some signs of how Serpentera was a neutral entity in Dairanger in the fight with the Pachinkohead monster, as the footage of the Thunder Megazord killing him is clearly taking some different scenes spliced together. This is done because in Dairanger, the monster was killed by the Great God Dragon stepping on him. And he exploded, because is Sentai and everything explodes.
It's a shame that the Power Rangers didn't use the Dairanger suits, because Dairanger had some really well choreographed fights thanks to its martial arts focus.
Continuing with the Star Wars parallels, the Gorma's main theme music sounds a lot like Imperial March.
There was a plan to use the Dairanger suits in Lost Galaxy as the Magna Defenders original team of Rangers. I believe it's why Mike uses an AuraChanger to morph but the idea was scrapped when the actress who played Kendrix was diagnosed with cancer and had to leave the show.
I was one of the kids that question the White ranger suit since it looked so different than the zyuranger suit.
@Pomelo Retro As you know DaiJInryuu is in fact the Bigger Bad of DaiRangers, and Daijinryuu's alignment is Lawful Neutral.
I’m still slightly confused, as I’ve noticed this while rewatching them back. Why in season 2 are the thunder Zords fighting different monsters in the stock footage? As you never see them on the same screen and I thought they would’ve used all stock footage for season one and the mega zord? As I’ve noticed some editing issues where the mega zord briefly appears when it’s the thunder zords being used. Why didn’t they use all stock footage of megazord and monsters for season 1, then for season 2 use all stock footage for thunder zords and monster, but creating their own footage with season 1 suits?
Basically, they didn't want to drop the suits and zords from the first season as they'd become so successful that they didn't want to write them off TV too quickly. So they had some new footage commissioned from Japan that helped ease the transition to the new zords - which they eventually had to bring in.
Dairanger was definitely dark even having a kid who can turn into young adult to fight crimes and has a super hero beginning ala-King Arthur way. And about the Japanese counterpart of Tor from what I remember the Japanese counterpart of it is a human but in his past life he somehow that Tor thing and later that fat one is the reincarnation of Tor. So Dairanger was more on Asian mysticism as you said in the end the yin and yang concept and Chinese mythos were used as it's core theme.
The Red robot's humanoid mode is based off Son Wu Kong since he has the staff and head band apparently.
So basically the whole issue was Saban being cheap
You’re a great conversationalist lol before a some what phalic monster appear lmao cue the phalic monster dragging our Jason away
I think one reason they did not use the dairanger suits besides the zyuranger suits being so popular is that they would have to think of a reason why zack went from black to green and felt to much work
The dude who turns into a turtle was a chi beast like the dairangers mecha but he forgot who he was after taking human form as he hated fighting
3:18 I always noticed the black ranger using a firehose was American produced footage spliced in with the Japanese footage even back then. I just assumed it was due to an unmasked actor performing the task in the Japanese footage. It wasn't until the Zyu2 footage was posted that I learned it was due to the wrong mecha/zord in the Japanese footage.
Kibaranger is actually really short even when morphed. I wonder if that had anything to do with the decision not to use all the Dairanger suits, since it might have been weird if Tommy was 5' 2" when morphed.
That's not entirely true. I actually DID notice the differences and questioned them when I was a kid. The sword being different against Robogoat (and another monster that escapes me right now) was instantly noticeable as was Jason, Trini, and Zack sounding different at times.
Oh god, you're using the terrible Hikari Senshi subs that decided to translate every name.
BTW, Ryuu Ranger's name is Ryo and Houou Ranger's name is Rin. :-)
I noticed somethings as a kid... But didn't know why. The biggest things I remember questioning was why the zord fights were so much more boring early in season 2. I also remember wondering why they'd change locations when they morphed. Didn't realize that they were splicing fights. But i was a stupid kid and didn't care lol
The zyuranger helmets also have an internal fastening system where as the power rangers have an external latch system so if you see a latch its power ranger footage
Awesome video :)
10:56 this is a REAL clip from the show?!?!? I have no words
Yup, they really did that.
I do feel that the Dairanger suits should have been used in Power Rangers.
If I had to speculate on how they could have been incorporated. I would say that they should have been the Dark Ranger suits used in the "Green No More" two parter. As in those episodes, the Dark Rangers were merely repainted putty costumes. Also after that battle concluded, the rangers would be able to obtain the powers of the dark rangers thanks to Tommy, and thus can be used as an upgraded form, similar to what Super Megaforce did with the Gokaiger suits.
I feel that could have been a really missed opportunity, because that's when Tommy leaves the group as the green ranger. It would have meant that even though he was no longer a ranger, his impact on the team would still be felt with their upgraded suits. Granted yes, he would still return as the White Ranger.
Outdated comment but with the Dairanger footage, there would be heavy editing because sticks were used as weapons (US censorship and influence on kids), groin shots, and the use of Drunken Fist by the Yellow Ranger. That would have been cool to see Trini/Ayesha doing Jackie Chan Drunken Fist.
It's pronounced Ry-Oh. The U is silent. Not Ryu like the guy from Street Fighter.
Japanese pronunciations are definitely not my strong point.
@@PomeloRetro Also for the record. Go-say Sentai Dairanger. Sorry!
In the translation I watches, it wasn't even Ryu. It was spelled Ryo. Sounded more like "Dy'oh".
I don't like how people pronounce the OU like in French, French and Japanese have nothing in common.
Agreed earnest ladday🙃
All the Star Wars mention and you forgot the biggest one. The music. The imperial march was used a few times or at least a copy
Shout factory release is way better than that subtitle One
Shout factory is a blessing from the Sentai Gods
According to rangerwiki saban never got the other five dairanger suits in time for filming season 2, thus why we didn't see them until super mega force.
Yeah I like the Dairanger suits. I have to thank Shout Factory for putting these shows out. Just finished Dairanger and it is a much stronger show than Zyuranger. Zyuranger was a bit insane though so that's a plus for that show.
Yep me too
I always hear people preferring Tommy as the Green Ranger, but my favorite will always be the White Ranger. oh yeah, and currently the Dai Ranger intro theme is my favorite of the sentai series ive seen so far.
These suits are some of my favorites out of all SS and PR
The Dairanger suits should’ve at least been used instead of the glitter for the “metallic armor”. Or a separate upgrade in general that the rangers can change too when the other forms aren’t enough.
I enjoyed the Dairanger season watching it with the family. I think they should have used the Dairanger suits and footage more so for season 2.
You missed a trick not showing the white ranger using his powers to be a perv to go along with his perviness as a kid. It would have been a great example of "footage they couldn't use in Power Rangers," and a good callback.
Had the Dairanger villains were used, we would’ve seen the three BDSM villains and one of the Gorma members turning into clay, which is Body Horror
Maybe i misheard but did he say Gosai and Kibiranger instead of Gosei and Kibaranger??
4:20 holy crap that looks sincerely horrifying.
Did they got the original Rita to play those scenes with Zed? I am so confused.
No - different actress. But they did use the same voice-actress that they used to dub over the original Japanese footage from season one.
So, Japanese footage used a Japanese actress, US footage used a US actress. BOTH were dubbed by a completely different US voice-actress.
8:34 did copyright laws exist yet
I'm 9 episodes deep into dairanger. I'm enjoying the Super Sentai versions so far.
I'm on I'm on calling you
wait.... didnt any one notice the boy on the left is wearing a blue long sleeve jacket with a 1930's full on color mickey mouse picture on its jacket 8:35
You missed two obvious points here - FIrstly the Yellow Dairanger was associated with the Kirin - a Japanese mythical beast - this was renamed as the Griffin Thunderzord in Power Rangers...
Also Dairanger didn't feature a black ranger but did feature a green ranger - which was also one of the reasons they didn't use the Dai ranger suits. - The Lion thunderzord has notable green accents and highlights to reflect this.
Love it bro
Colonel Shadam - Before Shadam became Padisha Emperor Shadam the IV, leader of Arakis in "Dune"
I just finished watching Zyuranger and Dairanger back to back... and while Zyu feels more iconic (if only because I grew up with MMPR) and I'm not quite feeling the giant white torso of the Dai suits...overall I think I kinda like Dairanger as a show and story better than Zyu. The original Dino Megazord/Daizyujin is freaking iconic, the Zyu/MMPR suits are iconic, and the original 6 are iconic, but even when they changed to the Thunder Zords/Mythical Qi Beasts, Season 2 was pretty awesome too (I can totally understand now why they created a totally original Lord Zedd vs the BDSM Gorma hahaha). Wellp.... onto Kakuranger!
PLEASE DO MORE, I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS MORE THAN LINKARA🤓 and I love his videos😎
They should of made diararanger suite the thunder mode, instead of glitter upgrade they got in the third season.
In my opinion they should have just made a whole other series with the Dairanger Suits and Mecha but the way that they use the Mecha in season 2 of MMPR was actually pretty good but too bad the suits wasn't adapted at least the main Dairanger Suits but other than that I'm fine with them not adapting Dairanger completely because I feel like most American citizens wouldn't know anything about the themes of the suits themselves so I'm kinda glad they didn't
Sorry to be THAT guy but my ocd wont go away until I say this: Its pronounced GO SAY, KEY BA just pronounce it the same way the Japanese do.
Eoin Cullen-O'Neill Japanese pronunciations are definitely not my strong point.
Its ok, just ocd kicking in. The Toku fandom is very picky about these things, this wont be the first time someone says this to you, But you did a good job!
That triggered me too, as well as pronouncing Ryo's name as Ryu rather than Ryo.
@@ThunderDragonRandy I was kinda wondering why he did that....Yeah it ends in a u but but it's typically pronounced as ri-yoo
@@darsparx Nope- Ri-yoo is also a typical western mistake. Riyo and Ryo are two different names with different pronounciations. Ryo is closer to "yo" than to "Riyo"
Also, saying "Go-say" for "Gosei" is also not quite right. Japanese make vocals longer by doubling them, but e and o are special cases so "ei" is the long "e" and "ou" is the long "o".
So its more like "Go-seh"
My only complaint was the Kou’s first meeting Rin. Reminder: it’s supposed to see a kids show, which is completely inappropriate for kids to watch I think.
Yeah, when he's skating around annoying people, we get the point that he's a bit of a brat. They don't really need to show him sexually assaulting someone.
I would've brought in Justin early and made him Kim's little brother. Then they could eliminate the sexual harassment scenes and have him just act like a regular annoying kid.
@@michaelleary9233 yet but Justin wasn’t the white Ranger. Tommy was, which actually did put stop to the sexual inappropriateness. I mentioned in Pomelo Retro’s other video regarding the Carranger vs Turbo Rangers, which Justin was in. They actually censored a lot of stuff in the first five seasons of Power Rangers
@@sarawinardi6745 That's true, it just occurred yo me when I saw Ko as Kibaranger, that's where they got the idea for Justin. Also, Kim mentioned having a brother a couple times but they never showed him, so making Justin her sibling would've helped with his whole confusing homeless kid origin.
@@michaelleary9233 really? I was always under the impression that she is an only child
Its funny how you keep comparing it to Star Wars, and there's a piece of background music in the very first episode that is just straight-up The Imperial March.
It's crazy how they taken so much.
How on earth did you come to think his name is Ryu? It's clearly Ryou, and they pronounce it several times in the show. Also you should really watch the shoutfactory! subs for these.
My pronunciations of Japanese names aren't good. That's just going to be a feature of these videos.
As for Shout Factory - I would really like to get my hands on them but they're not cheap to import to the UK.
@@PomeloRetro Are shoutfactorytv.com videos viewable in the UK? That's their official streaming service and they have Jetman-Gaoranger currently available for streaming with new seasons being added after they've been on DVD for a few months.
The commander from Jetman 11:18
I believe that Thor from operation overdrive helped Zordon create the thunder zords.
It's a shame the Dairangers suit were never adapted in the Second Season of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers just like the White Ranger & Thunderzords back then because the other five rangers would have been stronger against Lord Zedd. And to be honest their Dinosaur theme suit never really match with and the Thunderzords Chinese mythology theme don't go well together anyway so I really don't understand what the writer of the Series were thinking when they were making the Second Season of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
You forgot to mention lord Zedds Introduction in Power Rangers season 2
If you watch our "Power Rangers the Movie Games" video. We got through that there.
Why was Saban, create they're own original show?
Toei own supet series
how in the world is Serpentara so much bigger and more gigantic and fights when in power rangers season 2 she doesnt do nothing but serve as a base for zed? lol
Serpentera isn't sentient therefore it's an it
That naked way more sense when I was a kid the white ranger always looked so off compared to the rest of the team that’s because he’s from a different team
Actually the yin and yang philosophy is about the balance between good and evil. Dairanger is more like gnostic which makes it difficult to adapt 100% but they can do something about the Chinese mythical themes. But i believe they rushed everything up and as they fell on using the old ranger costumes.
No, it's about life- and energy- giving and taking. Yang is preferred because it is like the warmth of the sun hitting you and pumping you up, or the "growth" of verdant life. Yin is basically wilting, death, and the lack of life.
When actual Chinese say yinyang shui, they literally just talking about a nutrition drink, often Ensure. But have a Westerner try and translate it, and they likely get all goofy spiritual and stuff, possibly cooking up fantastically mythical concepts such as special elixirs or whatever. Westerners don't get that the Chinese are "superstitiously practical" based on observations of nature.
I wonder how the show would have fared if they just gave us the actual shows. I feel like I would have loved these as a kid. I never liked the scenes in the juice bar. Also, kids were obsessed with martial arts and Japanese culture back in the day. I'd have probably wanted it to be dubbed though because I hated reading subtitles.
I remember when we found out about Japanese versions of shit like Dragon Ball Z, we were all over it. Though, I think part of it was that there were more adult themes in it.
dairanger is a great season also what subs did you use
It's called Kiss Asian. The shows are pre-subbed.
figured kiss asian was curious as to whether it was tv nihon, grown ups in spandex, overtime the sub group who translated it i was curious as i have the shout release and it was weird seeing dairen oh referred to as great unified star lord and ryuuseioh as dragon star-lord also kameo as great infinity.
yea the zords in dai did more stuff and even serpentara was bigger in dai than in power rangers. they obviously didnt use serpentara footage from dai
@@PomeloRetro - Shout! Factory made an official English-subtitles release on DVD and posted them for free on their website? Why not support the official release there? While I'm watching officially subbed Super Sentai seasons on Shout! Factory's website, I watch unofficial English subs of SS seasons that haven't been officially subbed on KissAnime.
@@razielfaustus9733 I'm pretty sure those were Hikari Senshin's subs. However, I agree with TDP, there was no reason to use fansubs for something that has an official DVD release. Though, I'm hoping it was more he does have the DVD set and didn't know how to rip the discs whereas the ones he got were easily downloadable.
The Dairanger suits and the Kakuranger suits were bypassed by Saban because the Zyuranger (MMPR in the west) were still "marketable". As a kid, I stopped mmpr after they changed into the thunder and ninja zords. I missed the OG zords and when they made tommy the new leader so I was done. Also that didn't sound like a fart to me... it's really subjective LOL also KIBAranger not Kibiranger.... everytime the kibi comes in it hurts. but hey bro I LOve this review still
Good video
Red Dairanger is called “Ryuu Ranger” his character name is Ryo, pronounced “Yo”
Nice
07:01 i died of laugh
Red Dairanger's name is Ryo, not Ryu, but yes his ranger form is named Ryu Ranger
good video
