Dino fury is here, but I can't help being one of the antsy few to wonder what's next. I think a big reason Ryusoulger was chosen was due to the Dino motive, as well as the Ryusoul collectibles. However, once it's finished, there really won't be a typical theme that can be used for the following Power Rangers series. At the moment, I just don't think Zenkaiger would like be adapted right away. And who knows what theme could be after that series?
Hasbro clearly likes collectibility when it comes to ranger toylines. So my question is this. Based on the variety of different toys, which is likely next?
Kyuranger: All of the Kyutama, 4 main zords (total of 13), 3 morphers, and interchangeable weapon. 13 ranger toys. Kyutama are the biggest draw.
ToQ: 14 zords, 2 morphers, 4 main weapons (w/ one being a combiner weapon), 6 Rangers toys (with an orange 6th, maybe 7 if they risk purple), Possibility of Ticket. Zords are biggest draw due to working w/ morphers.
Kira: 15 zords (but no big combo can be seen as a drawback), 3 weapons, 2 morphers, 6 ranger toys. Pretty basic if not for the mashin
Zyu: 11 main zords (includes Condor due to size) and 7 auxiliary zords. 4 morphers (w/ one counting as a weapon) 3 regular weapons. 7 ranger toys + Multiple forms. Biggest draw is zords and at a manageable size.
LuPat: 17 zords (w/ one being able to be a morpher, X's). 1 other morpher (which also serves as the weapon). 8 ranger toys (since X has 2 looks). Really only has zords for the variety.
Kyuranger seems to be the most obvious, but as we've learned it isn't a first choice for adaptation. What are your thoughts?

Going by the runors, none of them.

This thread is a year too early but what the hell, I'll give my usual analysis and predictions for each candidate like I've been doing every 2 years.
ToQGer:
Chip said that trains aren't popular in the US and that ToQGer was considered less likely than Gobusters and Ninninjer for Sentai 2017/2018. By 2023, it'll be 9 years old while Gobusters was only 7 years old in 2019. I think that train has passed, haha.
Prediction: 0.01%
Zyuohger:
Hasbro have shown that they can take a failed merchandise such as Gobusters and innovate it, making the proportions more accurate. I would be interested to see how they tackle Zyuoh King and maybe try giving it functional legs and Cube Eagle a bigger back to compensate for where the arms fold out. I just want to see them show Bandai how it's done! I also want to see an SMF crossover since it didn't happen in BM and 2024 will be the 10th anniversary.
Prediction: 21.84%
Kyuranger:
Personally, I really don't like the aesthetics of this show at all. But I can see how the gimmick could be very popular and the space theme easily appeals to a lot of people. There's also an opportunity to bring back Captain Chaku which I would appreciate so there's definitely a solid case for adapting this.
Prediction: 25%
LupinPatren:
People hate the stupid Nick format of 1 Sentai being spread over 2 years right? So do I! This seems like a good way to fix that. Bandai failed to carry the merchandise by tipping it in favor of the Lupinrangers and Hasbro can observe that and strive to share it more equally with the Patrangers. The Morphers and Zords have high functionality with each other and there's a variety of vehicles such as cars, planes and trains. Unlike ToQGer which is pretty much just trains.
Prediction: 29.99%
Kiramager:
Same case as above with the variety of vehicles. However, I'm concerned that the Marrskmen won't be cool enough monsters for the Western audience and the inability to combine the Megazords (superglue not included) puts a limit on playability. I think the gemstone aesthetic is very cool and pretty to look at but it just seems like LupinPatren does a lot of these things and more. Sorry, Kiramager, you're still a great Sentai.
Prediction: 5%
Zenkaiger:
Next adaption will be an anniversary and this show was clearly made to be an anniversary season. The Red Ranger is based on the original Dino Megazord and that's perfect representation for MMPR. However, it might be a better idea to wait until the 30th so they can sell another 2 Gears from the 2023/2024 and 2025/2026 seasons. That way they can have JJ as the White Ranger if they want to go that route.
Prediction: 18.16%

Seems like Hasbro is not going in any particular order for which past sentai series to adapt next for Power Rangers since they went straight to the adaptation of Zyusoulger instead of going to ToQger (as it was the 2nd one skipped) despite trains not being popular in the US anymore or go to Zyuogher.
I like to see Kyuranger get adapted and also Kiramager too.

I don't get why people think trains are unpopular in the US. I worked toy stores for 3 years and trains do surprisingly well. Thomas still sells well enough to have a wider variety than even Power Rangers itself.

Ya again its far to early to even think of what hasbro will do after fury. Hell we don't even know much if hasbro plans in general. As we still have the movie plans and we don't even know for sure if we will have another show after fury. I expect we will. But on that front I myself don't expect trains. If we do get another show I would expect zyuo, kira, kyuu ad more likely picked themes. Or maybe they would want to go in a different direction and go with something like lupin or the upcoming sentai. There is just to many unknown variables.

At this point lets hope they adapt any Sentai. Unless the plan is to continue with original footage. But that sounds expensive and unrealistic...Unless some streaming service is willing to pay up.

Going by the runors, none of them. Pretty much this. I'm assuming it's just gonna be an MMPR reboot.

Going by the fact that Hasbro has made some wise decisions in their relatively small reign, I can safely assume that they understand the anniversary season potential that Kyuranger carries.

Ya and if you saw the bids from yesterday at toy thing. We know they have many plans in motion. The film in the works, dino fury, and future live shows. Now sure if we where to also get a animated thing. That I fully expect to be based around and use mm Era characters. But movie be it's own thing, fury and future live shows be there thing. We know with this franchise we can have multiple things going and fans and general folks go to what appeals to them. We have comics in there own thing. The movie can be it's own thing. We have main line franchise shows in its continuity. And if they want to do other not in continuity shows they can. And then we could have future cross over between that and main universe shows if they choose. I for one doubt things be over any time soon. And we will likely have comics for a long while, live action shows and potential animated stuff. Just look at gi Joe and transformers we have live movies and many different cartoons over the years.

At this point, it really doesn't matter which one of these five Sentai shows will be adapted into Power Rangers in the next two years. Because, we have no idea if they're gonna continue adapting Sentai shows into new Power lines seasons, or if they're going in a different direction with the franchise. I mean, Kyuuranger, is likely to be the obvious, but, I'd much rather have it be adapted into an animated TV series instead. In live-action, it's gonna be VEEERRRRY experience to produce. Toqger, I have no idea. Zyuohger, I still don't know if Minecraft is a thing now in 2021. Lupinranger vs. Patoranger, it's gonna be very tricky to adapt into Power Rangers because you need to explain why these NOT-SPD-like Police Power Rangers are fighting these NOT-MYSTIC FORCE-like caped Power Rangers and the monsters in the show. Not a lot of people in the west know what a "Phantom Thief" is, unless they are watching that Netflix series, "Lupin." Kirameiger...no clue because I have never seen the show before. And that's about it.

To me I can't see live action show ending yet. Really why would hasbro buy brand to just do movie that may or may not fail like the 2017 film did. Or just convert the show to just animation. Same with franchise getting close to big 30th anniversary and all.
There no reason we can't see a potential movie series, continue with the boom comics, toys for movie, current show possible animated show and classic figures. Plus those hasbro videos from the toy thing on 25th we know they want to do many things. So I for one don't see live TV ending any time soon. If anything maybe after 30th season for a short time if film is a success and can span a sequel or 2. Which could cover 6 to 8 years if they do a 2 year wait between films.
So then at that point we take a rest on live TV for that time frame. Put a animated show in that time. And then when film series is over return back to live time. But ya to we know for sure where movie plans go, and then this time next year when we usually hear of next show if no news there then ya go on from there.

You have to admit though, even with it's flaws, Mashin Sentai Kiramager was definitely one of the better Super Sentai seasons that we had despite the Covid-19 pandemic. And with only 45 episodes, Kiramager can easily be adapted if they combine two of the episodes into one, but as it was one of the better Sentais, there is currently no need to adapt Kiramager JUST yet. IF (and that's a BIG if) Hasbro do decide to carry on adapting Super Sentai into Power Rangers, then I would personally have Power Rangers (the ones adapted from Super Sentai) go by the extended name Power Rangers Sentai. Have Power Rangers for the reboot they keep banging on about (and for the kids), and Power Rangers Sentai for the adults.
