Are Power Rangers based off of Super Sentai?
Power Rangers
Power Rangers is an American entertainment and merchandising franchise built around a live-action superhero television series, based on the Japanese tokusatsu franchise "Super Sentai". Produced first by Saban Entertainment, second by BVS Entertainment, later by SCG Power Rangers and today by Hasbro, the "Power Rangers" television series takes much of its footage from the "Super Sentai" television series, produced by Toei Company. The first "Power Rangers" entry, "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers", debuted on August 28, 1993, and helped launch the Fox Kids programming block of the 1990s, during which it catapulted into popular culture along with a line of action figures and other toys by Bandai. By 2001, the media franchise had generated over $6 billion in toy sales.
Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue
"Lightspeed Rescue" also had, for the first time, a Power Ranger with no "Super Sentai" counterpart in the Titanium Ranger, as there was no regular sixth Ranger in "GoGo V". It is the last Saban Entertainment-produced "Power Rangers" series to feature the main villain from its "Super Sentai" counterpart, until the premiere of "Power Rangers Samurai". The next series to feature the main villain from its "Super Sentai" counterpart would be the Disney-produced "Power Rangers Mystic Force", which premiered six years later.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
As part of the initial licensing agreement between Saban and Toei Company, the producers of the "Super Sentai", additional footage and insert shots of the villain characters (particularly those played by Machiko Soga, Ami Kawai, and Hideaki Kusaka) were filmed in order to allow more in-depth, extensive scenes of the villains who would be unable to interact with the main cast due to the nature of the show. The additional footage included close-ups of the actor speaking English-language lines phonetically in order to more make the necessary dialogue looping more seamless.
Power Rangers
Since "Power Rangers" derives most of its footage from the "Super Sentai" series, it features many hallmarks that distinguish it from other superhero series. Each series revolves around a team of youths recruited and trained by a mentor to morph into the eponymous Power Rangers, able to use special powers and pilot immense assault machines, called Zords, to overcome the periodic antagonists. In the original series "Mighty Morphin", the wizard Zordon recruits "teenagers with attitude" against Rita Repulsa.
Power Rangers
On May 12, 2010, Haim Saban bought back the "Power Rangers" franchise from Disney for $43 million and announced plans to produce a new season of the television series. The eighteenth season, "Samurai", began airing on Nickelodeon on February 7, 2011, with the previous episodes beginning rebroadcast on Nicktoons later that year. It was also announced that Saban plans to make a new Power Rangers movie.
Power Rangers in Space
Power Rangers in Space is an American television series and the sixth season of the "Power Rangers" franchise, based on the Super Sentai series "Denji Sentai Megaranger".
Science Ninja Team Gatchaman
"Gatchaman" helped establish the convention of the five-member hero team emulated in later series, notably in the successful tokusatsu "Super Sentai" franchise (a genre exemplified by the English series adaptation of the "Power Rangers" franchise many years later). The Sentai series "Chōjin Sentai Jetman" was, in many ways, a homage to "Gatchaman".
Television in the United States
Programming from Japan has had a niche market in American television, with some anime programs (generally dubbed into English) having been seen on American television since the 1960s. The "Power Rangers" series was heavily edited from a Japanese live-action tokusatsu series, "Super Sentai", with newly filmed bridging sequences involving American actors (as the action sequences were entirely done in full costume, those scenes only had to be dubbed). The success of "Power Rangers" led to a wave of tokusatsu adaptations in the mid-1990s, none of which survived beyond two years.
Power Rangers (comics)
In 2008, Bandai produced a promotional mini-comic based on "Power Rangers Jungle Fury". The mini-comic was bundled with select action figures from the "Power Rangers Jungle Fury" toy line.

Like "Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger", "Akibaranger" features guest appearances by veteran Super Sentai actors (as themselves rather than their characters), and voice actors and musicians who have worked in anime and "tokusatsu". A second season aired in April 2013.

In 2001, Buki X-1 Productions, a French fan-based production company, produced its own series, "Jushi Sentai France Five" (now called "Shin Kenjushi France Five"), a tribute to Toei's long running "Super Sentai" series.

Power Rangers
Before creating "Power Rangers", the idea of adapting Sentai series to the American public emerged in the late 1970s after the agreement between Toei Company and Marvel Comics to exchange concepts to adapt them to their respective audiences. Toei, together with Marvel, created the "Spider Man" series, based on the comics of the same name, and produced three Super Sentai series, which had great success in Japan. While Stan Lee and Marvel tried to sell the "Sun Vulcan" series to various television stations, including HBO, but unlike what happened in Japan, this did not succeed and after three years, the agreement ended.

It was not related to Ryoichi Ikegami's earlier 1970 "" manga. Toei planned to follow the series with a new show starring a Japanese counterpart of Captain America called "Captain Japan", which was revamped into "Battle Fever J", the first official installment of Toei's "Super Sentai" franchise (barring the retroactive recognition of "Himitsu Sentai Gorenger" and "JAKQ Dengekitai" in later years). The concept of costumed superheroes piloting giant robots introduced in the Japanese "Spider-Man" was carried over to "Battle Fever J", which became a tradition in the "Super Sentai" franchise.

Brian Tyler was brought on to compose the film's music. Israelite has said that the film updates itself from the original series, being more character-driven and incorporating naturalism and a grounded nature.

Power Rangers
Production of "Power Rangers" episodes involves extensive localization of and revision of original "Super Sentai" source material in order to incorporate American culture and conform to American television standards.

In some series, original fight scenes are filmed to incorporate characters or items unique to the "Power Rangers" production. Like many of Saban Entertainment previous ventures in localizing Japanese television for a Western audience, the plot, character names, and other names usually differ greatly from the source footage, though a few seasons have stayed close to the story of the original Super Sentai season.
