Disclaimer: This is my opinion and please read it first before you react. Last week a big shocker happened aside from the revealing the new logo and new toy partner (Hasbro), Saban decided to revive the 2012-13 sentai season Gobusters (which supposed to adapt in 2015 but skipped in favor of Kyoryuger) instead of either 2016-17 sentai season Zyuohger or 2017-18 sentai season Kyuranger. Do you think they can't adapt the latest seasons because Bandai is still the official toy partner of the current sentai season? Do you think Daewon produced Power Rangers Dino Force Brave and the anti-plagiarism law* (which will effect on July 31, 2018) caused Saban to change their logo? Do you think Daewon has the first to use the Power Ranger Name for Kyuranger season that prevented Saban to adapt Kyuranger and future seasons? * Source for anti-plagiarism law: www.allkpop.com/article/2018/01/new-law-protecting-korean-shows-from-plagiarism-by-other-countries-to-take-effectOff Topic: There was an alleged Ultraman rip-off made in China called Dragon Force: So Long Ultraman that got a huge box office sales in China. The Chinese producers claimed that they were able to secure the Ultraman copyright from Thailand producers instead of original producers Tsuburaya Productions. |

1. Pretty sure this could've gone in the Beast Morphers thread.
2. It's probably that Hasbro didn't want to jump into Power Rangers with the biggest toyline Power Rangers has ever had on their first run. It's possible that they wanted to start with something smaller.

I would think Hasbro has something to do with this.

Personally I would hate to think if Bandai had some legal you can't do this show for x period. If time deal. With Saban leaving bandai. Could it be a reason sure. But this is many questions we still yet to wonder. I doubt that is reason. It could just be hasbro wanted to start with a smaller line show. To see how brand does with there company. Before they hit up a bigger line like zyuo, space series, or even lupin/pat.

I have a question. Now that Hasbro is buying back master licensing rights to manufacture Power Rangers toys. Does anyone besides me think that maybe the show should be moved to a different time slot or at least be like what the Neo-Heisei era Kamen Rider shows are currently doing which is airing new episodes at the start of the fall and ending the current TV series' run in the spring of next year before the hiatus begin? I mean, this would be a whole lot better if the Neo-Saban era seasons started airing their TV runs in September of the current year and officially airing their final episodes in the beginning of January of the next year and mid-march before that five-month hiatus begins each year.

xman, just to correct you on something, Hasbro never once had the rights to manufacture Power Rangers toys. It was all Bandai from the very beginning.

I don't think this is something related to any Korean law, or Korean adaptation and the toyline. Power Rangers is Toei first, but what it gave worldwide fame, and create the name, was Saban. I don't believe any law, from any country (except China, which always favored chinese people and companies, like what happened with Akimoto and the AKB48 franchise in China) gonna favored Daewon or any local company over the original creator, which have more input with the main investor, Toei. So, the use of the logo with the lightning bolt has to be an agreement between Toei, and Daewon, with the Saban's blessing ($$$$).
The choice of Go-Busters is probably what most people said: Hasbro doesn't gonna jump in a big toyline like Kyuranger's in its first series. Besides, I suspect Bandai of Japan not gonna help Hasbro for the toyline, the same way BoJ helped BoA (and viceversa), so the mold has to be created from nothing, and is probably has to be only a few models, so is gonna be a little rushed to create the whole quantity of mechas, figures (13 Rangers! Besides villians) and Kyutamas in one year. And the other thing, I really believe the people of Hasbro likes the type of Zords, three modes, animals, vehicles and robots, something Hasbro is very good.
If you want to talk about conspiracy, let's talk about how fast after Saban' breakup with Bandai, Hasbro jump the bandwagon for the new agreement, weeks later they said three was a drop in sales in Star Wars toys.

xman , just to correct you on something, Hasbro never once had the rights to manufacture Power Rangers toys. It was all Bandai from the very beginning. Whatever. But my question still stands. What is going to be the new plans for the show, next year? Are they still going to keep airing eight episodes before the stupid-ass five-month hiatus and air 12 more episodes in the fall? Or, are they going to change ask Nickelodeon to change the schedule and have them start airing Power Rangers in a seasonal gap, like what the Neo-Heisei Kamen Rider shows are doing, nowadays? That's what I have been trying to ask. I don't care about that whole issue with Hashbro. I want to know what is the next step for the show and what kind of transitioning phase it's going for in 2019. |

There’s no reason to think Hasbro being the new toy license holder for Power Rangers will have anything to do with Nick’s scheduling. You realize those are separate things right? Hasbro may have an impact on the narrative given the way BoA pushed certain things but when it airs and how many episodes per season is up to Nick |

Well since hasbro only controls the toys and not the show. And since the show for pretty much long haul has been Feb to Nov range. I can't see it moving around. As there has to be toy for all 4 quarters of year to make money for the toy lines and all that. So what good would be moving time show out. And ultimately as we still on nick and how nick has been since 2011. We are going to go 8 to ten episodes then break. And then come back for remaining episodes and holiday ones. That isn't to change just cause hasbro in the picture now.

So, we're basically going to have ten new episodes from Jan.-Mar. before the five-month hiatus and then ten more new episodes as well as two holiday episodes?!
Well, I guess that would be a huge step-up.

Xman no what I was getting at pretty much from super samurai through now nick has gone 8 to 10 episodes. Then go on there long mid season break. To we return in Sept to Dec for the remaining half of season. No reason that would likely change. Only one that was different was samurai we had about 15 episodes aired to they did break and it was only 3 months I believe. So just cause hasbro in picture the why nick airs show isn't going to change. As toys already have there set schedule of why they come out in the 4 quarters of business year and all that.
I really wish nick scheduling for power Rangers let there other shows be the way they are. Cause its real dumb move in my book to only air ten episodes of a show that 20 to 26 (cartoon shows seem to get more episodes). Then be on months long break.
With only 52 weeks in a year if we really are just stuck to the 22 a year deal for ever with time with nick. Why can't the show be spread out more evenly in the year. Heck we already skip about 8 weeks for Jan and Dec and you cut the weeks for wwdp/kca. So right there we drop 10 weeks right there. It be nicer to spread the show out.
This is one reason I don't see why nick went for this yahoo 20 episode 2 year spread with show. As pr makes about 40 episodes per series (broken into the 2 yrs 20 ep blocks). This was one franchise nick could have been airing year round with new episodes like late Saban and Disney years whrre. And you can still include a 2 to 3 month mid break. During the high summer time as nick likes. Just really grinds me for the why schedule is. Just really like to kick that person in charge.
