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. I'll check it out, then.

They should adapt whatever Sentai season is adaptable for Western audiences and leave out those that aren't adaptable. In two years, Toei makes 80 (ish) episodes of Super Sentai. Hasbro makes only 40 (ish) of Power Rangers. Which means that in 4 years, we had half less seasons and episodes than Sentai does, which bumps up the number of Sentai seasons to choose from for adaptation even if Toei goes fully-Japanese route for 1 season since Toei gets 5 seasons of Sentai out in the same time span Hasbro releases 2.5 full seasons/5 half-seasons of Power Rangers. So if Toei would produce 10 Sentai seasons in the next 10 years and make 3 of them Japanese culture-centric AND unadaptable for Western audiences, we are still good for 14 years - or 7 full seasons/14 half seasons of Power Rangers. However, by the time Hasbro would be done adapting the 7 adaptable seasons, Toei would also have twice the amount of seasons made for Super Sentai, which might also increase the number of Sentai season adaptation choices.
Long story short, if Hasbro decides to keep adapting Sentai, the best bet for them is to keep using what works and not go sideways. Even if they drop the Sentai adaptations.

all of them are adaptable, as proven when they went backwards for beast morphers...

Ya it's pretty much what story they want to tell in us take and what usable zord/fight footage they take. As with any show yhere is always a degree of episodes not used for what ever reason.

Go-Busters really didn't have anything unadaptable: The Buddyroids, the Ranger suits, Ranger arsental, Zords, even there was nothing stopping Hasbro from using the original Go-Busters sets for the base of operations/command center. Even the monster suits and the Megazord suits in Go-Busters looked perfectly fine for adapting for Power Rangers. You could switch the BM Ranger and command base characters and sets with the ones from GB and what would you get? Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters. The same goes for Avatar/Robo Blaze and Roxy. The only thing BM did not adapt is the parents plot/storyline and Enter and Escape being Avatars made out of properties of various different people. There's nothing to indicate that Go-Busters was an unadaptable season. But I do agree of some Sentai episodes getting skipped for whatever reason.
However, I was talking about a case wehre Toei would produce a couple of Sentai seasons which would be unadaptable for whatever reason. Which shouldn't be a problem for Hasbro because of the two year-a-season deal for PR, since it buys them time because once PR is done with a season, Toei has already 2 fully aired/released. The toyline isn't the only factor for Hasbro when it comes down to selecting a Sentai season to adapt. It's also what I'm mentioning.

I can't see them going for any of those to be honest. AT this point, you hear more and more that Hasbro may just do their own thing and not use Sentai footage at all freeing them up to do great original ideas. Who's to say. It certainly won't be Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger... Too many mechs and not enough people...

^ Mechs are more profitable than humans. Have you heard of another Hasbro property called Transformers? I'm not a fan or anything like that but I can't deny its popularity, which I'm pretty sure has little to do with humans at all.
A lot of people praise PR for having diverse casts. Do robots not also deserve to have representation? Kikainoids are people with feelings too you know. One of the great things about this franchise is that anybody, regardless of their species, can be a Ranger, as long as they meet the criteria.
There's also the profitable gimmick of the Gears, the majority of which could easily be adapted for the 30th or 35th anniversary. The Red Ranger is literally based on the counterpart to Dino Megazord.
You cannot say with any certainty that this Sentai is going to be skipped. I strongly believe that ToQGer will be skipped, but even I don't treat that as fact, hence the 0.01% prediction I gave it. All we can do is speculate and guess.

I can't see them doing Zenkaiger either. Especially bacause we've already pushed 2 of the Ranger teams to separate dimensions within the same multiverse. Zenkaiger already assigned every Sentai season to its own universe/dimension which would be confusing on Power Rangers because we've already got 3 Ranger dimensions within the same multiverse and because the first 6 seasons share cast members and characters AND their storylines. On top of thaat, each season after PRiS is somehow established to take place in the same dimension/cannon (except for RPM and Dino (Super) Charge). Adapting Zenkaiger would just do a big mess anyway of the already messed-up PR cannon since we've seen how the whole cannon thing is treated in Beast Morphers - it's just thrown in without any prior setup and introduction. We don't need a Sentai season adaptation to make an even bigger confusion about what is cannon in Power Rangers and what is not.

it would be interesting if they did go with the newest one. If they did i wonder if they would edit/remove the numbers on the heads as they would not match rangers seasonal numbers.
