An open discussion: If Sentai ended... the future of PR?

There's only so far back they can go without seeing the quality diminish though...

If Sentai ends in a few years (which is very unlikely anyways) while Power Rangers is still going on before it eventually end as well, Hasbro would catch up and end Power Rangers then....unless they adapt Bioman to Jetman after catching up  (Gorenger to Dynaman would be too old to adapt) and then end Power Rangers for good.


Despite the low rangers and low toy sales in Super Sentai, Toei can have Super Sentai keep gong as long as they want to as there is so many theme ideas that has yet to be used. It'll have to end eventually as next year, we'll have the 45th sentai series and it would be the 46th year its been on air.

Many years ago, I used to guess how many more years Super Sentai would keep on going....I was thinking that maybe it could end after the 50th sentai series (anniversary series) and after 51 years on air but you never know...it could get to 55 or up to 60 but I doubt it would get to 65 and past that.  

To be honest, I dont see them going back for old sentai footage if its too old. It cost a crap load of money to turn a non HD video to HD. I truly think they SHOULD step away from the sentai. I know its the cheapest route but I believe Hasbro can do so much better, I think they should also because it would be investing in themselves since they also own the toy rights. Im my selfish opinion I think they should stick with what they are doing now. But from a business stand point. Im goin anime. Keep in mind Hasbro bought PR for a lot of money. They want their money back and will change the game to get it!

Hasbro could still have Toei film exclusive footage just for Power Rangers like Saban did. Or just hire some Japanese stunt doubles to re-create fight and mecha scenes from other Sentai by themselves. Super Megaforce, as lazy and as bad as it was - did feature Dairanger, Maskman, Flashman, Changeman and Fiveman. They don't need to mess with old footage, they can just re-create the props and costumes and film original footage like they did with Beast Morpehrs. They don't even need to re-create the sets, since the sets of all those Sentai seasons (except maybe for Dairanger) are long since outdated.

Anyway, I'm only brainstorming here, I actually don't care what Hasbro does with Power Rangers when Super Sentai ends. It's their franchise now, and if they want to do an older Sentai and if they think it's a good busness move for them, they will. The'll find a way to adpot a Sentai older than the Sentai Rangers that we got in Super Megaforce and still make a lot of money by doing it. 

Hasbro re-created the GoBusters' suits for Beast Morphers. So re-creating suits is no problem for them. The only question here is will Hasbro be even willing to do it even if it's financially viable to keep up the franchise going (the TV series primarily) if it means continuing without the Sentai footage after Toei decides to pull the plug on it while only relying on new & original footage using re-created suits (and props) in order to produce a season.

We're 5 Sentai seasons behind. That means we're good for the next 10 years.

Last year's Sentai season wasv the 43rd. Which means next year's Sentai (2021) will be the 45th. So if Sentai goes all the way to 50th anniversary, that means Power Rangers is covered for 14 seasons. If Toei does the 55th Sentai, that's 10 more seasons of Power Rangers TO THAT, which brings us to 24 seasons in total. Of course, if the 20 episode per season thing remains and a single Sentai season is adapred for 2 years.

Basically, it all depends on Toei on how long they can keep up their franchise. For now, the math stands as it is: 5 Sentai seasons and not a single season skipped = 10 seasons of Power Rangers. So 10 Sentai seasons in a deecade = 20 seasons of Power Rangers.
