the origin of the Squadron Rangers - the first Power Rangers team!

[@hiEste]

go watch my lastest video where I review the Japanese Squadron, Gosei Sentai Dairanger: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIXLYmiDlNllq7c

[@NathanTeklay-sk2xq]

I'm guessing the squadron rangers were only in the battle by accident as they used sentai footage plz reply

[@NathanTeklay-sk2xq]

sorry being late

[@stu_1e]

The irradiation of earth with morphin energy definitely explains why earth has so many ranger teams while other planets seem to be limited to a single team, a single ranger or a team of rangers operating throughout the entire galaxy.

[@furnessespeon]

Now all we need is an explanation as to why Orion never used the Black Squadron key and used MMPR White Instead… what if Zordon and Alpha built MMPR using MMSR Black as a base plate? 🤯

[@kevin10001]

Mainly cause they used super sentai footage and the set of rangers the squadron rangers are based on doesn’t actually have a black ranger the black ranger was made up for the comics Tommy’s power were the 6th ranger powers and Orion was the 6th ranger of the series so he got all the 6th ranger powers like the green ranger powers white ranger powers and gold ranger powers for example

[@buildio8114]

@@kevin10001 no he's saying what's the in universe reason why orion used mmpr white and not squadron black.

[@hiEste]

besides the obvious answer to this, a very good question! is black squadron considered the sixth?

I'd go with his power got lost or permanently destroyed never to be used again

[@mizzjade2052]

Idk this is a super speculative subject

[@MAZZ0Murder]

Black Dairanger is a unique one :O It's interesting making them the first once for sure. Dairanger is my favorite sentai, so I'm glad they tried to do something with it!

[@Almatty]

I love Dairanger so much I shed a manly tear the first time I watched Gokaiger's tribute episode to it

[@AkodoNoEyes]

Boom Studios has been a great boon to Power Ranger fans. It’s their own continuity but it has expanded a lot of the lore. I look forward to the comics every month.

[@BluePowerRanger93]

I'm glad that the Power Rangers comics are using the idea of Dairanger orgins for the Squadron team. It's a shame that Saban never use the rest of Dairanger team suits for the second of Mighty Morphin.

[@weedleisopcute3626]

Goggle V and Liveman may also exist in the PR universe, given that their symbols appeared in Tommy's archives (although those two teams went unused in Super Megaforce)

[@brandonscott4808]

Personally I think the Power Rangers franchise used the concept of aliens way to much. Dairanger and Kakuranger could have just been established as Earth based teams that fought evil in the past on Earth. Power Rangers already established that demons and other Earth based threats exist. The Gorma Empire and the Youkai definitely could have worked.

7:04 Personally, I would like to see power ranger versions of Jetman.

[@RexBROS1411]

To me, it should have been dubbed "The LOST Power of Eltar" in Super MegaForce. Since the White Ranger Powers was the "ONLY" power left in the 2nd season, the original 5 (Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Pink) powers that Zordon had wore lost during his battle with Rita. That would have been great story arc if Saban would have been a little bit more creative for those power.

[@RexBROS1411]

Never thought of that one. That name would have worked as well in Power Rangers. I wish that somebody that is a true Ranger Fan (other than Yost, JDF, ect...) should continue to make PR content for our enjoyment. Regardless of continuing the same story, OR, revamp the story, so that everyone can see and be prouder of being a Ranger Fan.

[@bobbyshaddoe3004]

Ive always felt that the Dairanger powera could very well have been the original Power Rangers from Eltar. While we never get any confirmation of where the White Tiger coin came from, its likely those powers were once wielded by Zordon.

[@ryugaboumera4490]

honestly, quite interested in how they will adapt the "Dragon Powers", aka Dengeki Sentai Changeman, in the probable future (if they will). Primarily because I've always found it interesting that the Rangers' suits within the team were based on mythological animals while their megazord's made up of vehicles and not their respective animals, it'd be interesting how they can "explain" that being a thing within their team 🤔

[@orangeinferno]

How they gonna explain the white ranger lol

[@cardinalhamneggs5253]

According to RangerWiki, this team is known simply as "Power Rangers Blitz", a reference to the full title of _Changeman_ ("dengeki", translated into German, is "blitzkrieg"). However, in accordance with my tendencies to lengthen the names of the more lazily (and shortly) named pre-Zyuranger counterpart teams (e.g. "Thunder Squadron", after their corresponding Zords and the _Power Rangers_ lightning bolt sigil, as opposed to just "Squadron"), I think "Draco Blitz" is a much better name.

[@Zarkon619]

are we talking about the same guys who never adressed that the megaforce rangers were dressed as pirates??

[@markcruz359]

I grew up watching Hikari Sentai Maskmen and Choudenshi Biomen. Would be great to see them adapted

Sounds like quite an origin, where they haven't quite been using the morphing grid powers effectively at first. Then they finally invented the Morphers. Very neat.

[@thesamuraix881]

Interesting video, but now a new question arises. Which animal did the Black Squadron represent? Because the Dairangers correspond to animals: Red - Dragon Green - Lion Blue - Pegasus (Flying Horse) Yellow - Qilin Pink - Phoenix

[@Thepoliwhirl2001]

I think black is meant to be a hippogriff.

[@cqstlupin6074]

Maybe genbu (black tortoise)

[@o.a.j.8168]

I stumbled on your channel somehow. Power Rangers was my life as a kid in the early 90's.

Gosei Sentai Dairanger is one of my fave Super Sentai. Have issues, however the main five and one kid who turned into Kibaranger. Quite popular in japan in action stunts were top notch of Dairanger. Aside from Hikari Sentai Maskman and Jyuken Sentai Gekiranger were martial arts motifs.

[@leonardoramirez8793]

So do they explain anything about the thunderzords how Zordon used them in MMPR and do they even use the zords?

[@magnus87]

In my head it is much more different. (very briefly) Lord Zedd finds a way to make his own evil rangers despite the efforts of the 5 heroes to prevent it, Zordon tells them that it is too late to recover those powers and they must defeat them. They manage to defeat the Dark Ranger but lose their power coins however Tommy hears a voice calling him, it is the Saba sword that wants to be found. Together with the energy of the sword and the broken coins, they manage to access the morphing grid and "update" their Zord with the form of the sacred beasts.

[@calebgoodman3028]

If they do decide to explore the *dragon powers* I hope they change the name since only *one* ranger has a dragon motif. I have wanted a dragon team since I was little but as a whole team, not just one ranger. Why not Mythos Rangers? That makes way more sense!

Somehow, I feel like Xev should have been the original White Squadron (a.k.a. the White MMPR) instead of black. BS (Boom! Studios) should have thought this through. It was a error mistake if _they_ were going to adapt the Dairangers into the comics and make it accurate. They could have made a origin tale of the White Mighty Morphin power and where it came from, that’s what it should have been.

To me this is a classic example of emplaning something after the fact cause the show didn’t probably explain it so the comics explains it 9 years after it happened in the series people are free to like the comics I just feel instead of being expanded ranger universe it’s mostly being used to explain away things the show didn’t probably explain the first time

There was a better way to adapt Dairanger for Super Megaforce. Have it where Zordon and Alpha were working on new powers for the Mighty Morphin Team but the development was stopped probably by one of the times the Command Center was destroyed.

Plus I don't want to make it darker here but I think the actual reality here is that the entire theme of Dairanger are an actual walking "Chinese profiling" if they going to include the actual Dairanger team in PR. The censors back in the day typically whitewashed any Asian references to fit younger audiences just what 4kids do w/ Pokémon to fit younger audiences, not unless it's a Japanese theme (T&C still applies though), maybe in order to avoid what Disney did when they try to adapt Princess Mononoke to dismay Hayao Miyazaki.
