Shout! Factory to Bring Series that Saved SUPER SENTAI to America

Many people know that Power Rangers is based on a Japanese series called Super Sentai. Essentially, each new Power Rangers series uses footage from a different Super Sentai series and they don’t always go in order.

What else is cool is that Shout! Factory has been bringing the Super Sentai series over to America with English subtitles, but they started with the one that Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was based on, Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger, without going before it. That all changes this year.

Shout! has plans to release Chōjin Sentai Jetman later this year. Not only is this the first Sentai series to come from America from before Zyuranger, it’s also the series that saved Super Sentai from almost being canceled in the early 1990s.
