We can all agree that Power Rangers, Super Sentai, and Tokusatsu has had an effect on the pop culture sphere. With it being over 30 years in the mainstream, it has been parodied and homaged to another degree. What are some of the favorites, and what makes them different?

Happy Halloween 🎃 esquad

[@paradox_saber54]

One of the weirdest Super Sentai parodies I remember was the Force Fighters V from League of Super Evil. They had different colored suits, each piloted a different vehicle that combined into a bigger mech, and even did the weird wacky poses. The funniest part is they owned a restaurant as a cover-up.

[@JAY-1-2-3-4]

One of the zords was just a hand or foot I dont remember, I remember watching LOSE but couldnt remember the name, thanks!

[@ironmaster6496]

They really nailed the exaggerated poses with those guys, also they had the closest thing we'll see of Bulk as a ranger

[@paradox_saber54]

@@JAY-1-2-3-4 it was a hand lol

[@BoomyShakes]

Okay but the fact that fucking We Bare Bears managed to Jason David Frank himself? Legendary

[@malcomalexander9437]

Managed? You act like JDF had been a big-name actor who would have been normally far too busy to appear in a show like We Bare Bears. Man's career was literally just Power Rangers, minor appearances in a handful of episodes of various shows, and direct to DVD movies.

[@BoomyShakes]

@malcomalexander9437 dude. Calm your mammiries. He was an actor and directing and acting in his project White Dragon.

Finally! Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force Go gets the recognition it deserves!

[@eraser2592]

Regular show had somewhat of a power rangers reference, there’s a group of returning characters that are basically baby ducks that can transform into a megazord like giant

[@jmredguppy2799]

I’m pretty sure those were like Ultraman mixed with Transformers Parody. Heck the 2nd time the Baby Ducks appeared, had a remix of Stan Bush’s The Touch.

[@jaybrian9402]

That's more with Voltron than Power Rangers.

[@firepuppies4086]

​​@@jmredguppy2799there was a bit of a PR reference. As they were getting in the robot or suiting up they had a quick call out sequence in the style of Mighty Morphin. Think on "Let's cook this goose" and you might remember it being when they show up in the fanny pack in place of the Buckler

[@EnerKaizer]

What I remember vividly is the Power Rangers parody of the old cartoon "Walter Melone". For context: The premise of Walter Melone was that he'd take over for a certain hero if they are either unavailable, call in sick, are in the hospital, etc. . Him and his partner in one episode have to take over for 2 Rangers from the "Mighty Hippy Power Rose-Rangers", specifically they have to step in for their versions of Jason and Billy. Yes, all the rangers of that team are plant based, and they are very, very caricature-rised members of a hippy commune. also, Their plant zords combined into a gigantic lawn mower.

[@John_Alter]

Back when I first watched Akibarangers, I had no idea Maaya Uchida who played Hiroya Hakase was a voice actor (seiyuu) since I was really into Tokusatsu at the time and was getting back into anime. Had only watch English Dub anime but got into English Subs due to watching Tokusatsu.

[@hanzzacharycruz2797]

Even mostly her younger brother Yuma Uchida did also tokusatsu roles only in Kamen rider and Ultraman

[@licittofficial]

My favourite parody was from an Australian show called "the ferals" it was a puppet show similar to Muppets and sesemi Street, but the characters lived in dirty places like sewers, junk yards and abandoned buildings. There was an episode where all the main characters became power rangers. If I remember correctly, they even said "woah! we've transformed into power rangers!" I only ever saw that episode once when I was around 7 years old, but i still remember it 18 years later. I need to try track it down

[@angelorael6186]

Chroma squad definitely deserved at least an honorable mention it was a game made by fans for fans

[@destiny13777]

This is more for the older fans but Key and Peele did a skit called the Power Falcons that parodied PR and it was pretty funny. It even had Brenda Song who people might remember was in that movie Wendy Wu Homecoming Warrior, a movie with action scenes directed by Koichi Sakamoto of PR fame at the time, though now he's more known for his Rider and Sentai stuff.

[@TitanWar93]

Voltron and The Mystic knights were clever shows in their own rights. Flower Rangers were the only parody I remember as a kid. Akibaranger not until way later in life.

[@teamsteed1]

I vaguely remember watching "Flower Rangers."

[@thatswhatshesaid2777]

Actually, Voltron came before power rangers

[@teamsteed1]

@@thatswhatshesaid2777 Thanks for telling me.

[@coreylineberry8557]

The Animaniacs episode is extra funny because it was the first episode of the Kids WB era of the series after airing on Fox Kids since the beginning.

[@licittofficial]

Does anyone remember the episode of "Arthur" where there was an episode about dental hygiene and the characters watched a TV show and it was a power rangers parody

[@teamsteed1]

Yes. And Arthur's friends were teasing him because Arthur still had his baby tooth.

[@sirpandastuff]

This is exactly what i needed during my covid sickness. Thanks este, thank you fellow ranger fans

[@hiEste]

hope u get better soon :)

[@researchr3263]

get better i loved the video to

[@erikdraven1731]

I think the pig character in Animaniacs was meant to parody the Mordant character from the MMPR movie rather than Goldar. Otherwise, I loved it. (And I am also a huge fan of Akibarangers!) EDIT: I checked airdates and the episode in question did air only a few months after the movie, so that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

[@paintedpig3021]

A pretty new senti reference I've seen is the Niji Six from Captain LazerHawk, their leader Red is one of the funniest evil characters I've seen awhile

[@bradtobin839]

We Bare Bears' Silver Bear, number one. "Ultra Meteorite Fighters, Forever..." Rest in Power, Jason David Frank.🐲😞✊🏻

[@haydenreviewscustomcombos]

I’m still waiting for Phineas and Ferb to make a Power Rangers reference/crossover with them. Maybe that’s coming in the fifth season, I don’t know.

[@Dan_-]

Ones that need to be mentioned: Super Freakin' Parody Rangers (Flash animation on Newgrounds) Dexter's Laboratory (🎶Go, Dexter Family, Go🎶)

[@70Lu07]

in jorel's brother, a latino-american cartoon, there is a parody of basically everything tokusatsu in one while also being a parody of an anime called saint Seiya, where the characters are a group of super heroes who have a giant robot, while also having a microwave for a torso

[@colinmcallister3038]

Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go was introduced to me by my cousins along with Power Rangers. I always saw them as two different shows with the former having a huge amount a lore.

[@RodrigoPikatron]

Viewtiful Joe was mostly inspired in Kaiketsu Zubat. Besides Kamen Rider, Super Sentai, etc. Zubat also inspired some features in Liveman, Winspector and other stuff.

[@gregwhite7852]

There is a Japanese Adult Video company who makes AV parodies of Super Sentai. The name of the company is Giga.

Persona 4 Golden on PSP & PS4 had a set of Ranger costumes you could put on your team. Each of the main characters were a different color and it changed their victory exclamations & poses. I believe the Persona series as a whole has a recurring parody series called Phoenix Rangers

[@coreylineberry8557]

Featherman, yep. And in Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, Yukari from Persona 3 has her main outfit as Featherman, because she actually acts in the series.

[@Technovore-X]

So many things I wish I could say. Onoranger comes from Ono, a type of axe like Geiz’s weapon. Viewtiful Joe is Rider inspired, it’s spiritual successor Wonderful 101 is more Sentai inspired.

[@EdwardSanchezProductions]

This is the best way to celebrate Halloween

[@WildDancer101]

The first parody of Power Rangers I've seen despite not knowing at the time, was in the Arthur animated series episode Arthur's Tooth, where it showed an educational video about a monster drilling into a tooth until the "Flighty Fluoride Scour Rangers" stops it and throws it down the throat.

[@autisticgriffzorer9526]

Awesome video 👍 Este I didn't know that were so many different parodies of the power rangers guess that explains so much of both super sentai and power rangers

[@stevenlisten]

So excited power rangers cosmic fury

[@MrSonicHedgehog]

There was an issue of the MLP g4 comics where Discord had the CMC become the Power Rangers which I loved to death. Seriously, my Ponysona's dad giving Scoots a chance to become a Ranger herself was awesome to see

[@TheRV1HD]

Dexters Lab had an episode called Last But Not Beast where Dexter tells his family that he has a lab in order to save the city from a giant monster and they become Power Rangers in giant vehicles that become a Megazord. They have a theme song called "Go Dexter Family Go"... Which was super catchy!

[@stevenlisten]

Can wait for power rangers reboot and cartoon 2025

[@bluescat581]

Oh god I need to watch Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce GO! Also, The Sesame Street "Mega Monsters" song reminds me of Mega Man X1's title screen. Plus the Hello Kittty Sentai Easter Egg is adorable

[@treble0110]

the video game Godhand has a boss that parodies PR, they are called the Mad Midget 5, actually a pretty funny but also hard boss since you have to fight all 5 at once

I guess it just started as a parody and eventually grew to something more of its own, but Combo Rangers was amazing.

[@paulslade129]

Great video! Super fun.

[@CodenameJD]

Love After World Domination is an anime that is a full-on Sentai/PR parody. It's a romcom about a Red Ranger dating one of the villains. Based on the likes of Zhane & Astronema, Lucas & Nadira, and, most of all, Red Racer & Zonnette of Carranger.

[@RodrigoPikatron]

I would like to present you not only one but TWO Brazilian Super Sentai. The first is Cavaleiros do Futuro (Portuguese for Future Knights). Seven kids with the colors of rainbow, defending a magical city, controling 6 diferent types of energy (the Sun energy was divided by Red with the Light and Yellow with the Heat). But my very favorite is Combo Rangers. It was a series of webtoon, that evolved into comis and even 3 episodes (money was really short, unfortunately) animated in Flash (I am old kids). Among the voice actors, we had folks from Dragon Ball, Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh! and more. And there was a speech that I remember even today. "Being a Combo Ranger is not just a great honor. It's a great tradition. And you cannot break the tradition".

[@Renegade2786]

It is crime that ReBoot's starting the domino effect episode *Nullzilla* isn't mentioned in this. The whole premise of the episode is literally a parody to the Power Rangers and it's origin (Godzilla).

[@bladerrider8666]

6:21 I'm sorry its not Onore, but it's Ono in Onoranger that means Axe, basically their name is Axe rangers 😅

[@johnbartlett5706]

Chroma Squad game is a love letter to how the shows were made. Colecting cardboard, duct tape, etc to upgrade suits & mecha.

[@MatthiaGryffine]

I just thought of a Canadian satire version. There was a cartoon show called "League of Super Evil" in the 2010s and the titular League had to deal with a bunch of superheroes, including their hilarious take on the Power Rangers called the "Force Fighters V"

[@dannyfreeman7554]

“ Arthur “ on pbs had one too i remember watching it in kindergarten

[@otakuking10]

I came up with a new idea for a anime style tokusatsu series, it’ll be a power rangers parody that’s a loving tribute to all things power rangers, 80s pop culture, 90s Nickelodeon shows and Japanese pop culture. It’s called Dream Rangers. It’s a sci-fi, action, comedy series, it’s kinda like Dave the barbarian, power rangers, tokusatsu shows, saved by the bell, teenage mutant ninja turtles, anime, and video games mixed in a blender with 4th wall breaking, tokusatsu action, references to pop culture, musical number parodies, and comedy like the 90s Nickelodeon shows.

[@minicle426]

The Barrel Rangers from Roger and the Rottentrolls was always my favourite.

[@jaybrian9402]

There is one such reference you forgot to mention (primarily due to the dub calling the pose a "dab" despite it not being as such). It happened in an episode of Yugioh VRains.

[@F1ghtGam3r]

In the yugioh TCG, there are 2 archetyoed based on the power rangers. Super quant- based in the power rangers A-Z machines- based on the zords & megazords

[@jesserivera2043]

Persona 4 and 5 were my fave parodies ❤❤ Also, the Animaniacs saying "right" every few seconds was hilarious

[@RaidenMGR13]

Right after he said "i love life" i got an ad that opened saying "i dont like anything"

so fun fact about the final fantasy ranger suits the helmet has a X in it, the chest is a hidden I down the middle, and silver V below the chest plate spelling out the XIV (14) for ffxiv. also if you ever add more games nexomon extension parody's them with the nexolords.

[@Rikihaizen]

My favourite power rangers parody is from Disgaea, as you the main character is becoming the overlord in the game, there is a chapter where a group of heroes call the Prism Ranger come and they challenge Laharl for the title of Overlord in the hopes of gaining friends. Since then they appear on other Disgaea series.

[@LWviews]

Possibly my favorite power rangers reference of all time was Earth Force enforcement Force from the Netflix series kid cosmic

[@driftingswordsmanzer]

My favorite Power Rangers/ Sentai parody was from the rpg Tales of the abyss. They were called the abyss rangers. The emperor of Malkuth was a huge fan that he personally had the suits made in advance hoping for them to wear them.

[@austinforgie1069]

There is a power rangers parody game that was on the Wii U and I think it's on switch too but the game is called The Wonderful 101 a game where 101 heroes fight to save a futuristic Earth from Aliens who after the popular Power Rangers color scheme like Red, Blue, Black, Pink, Yellow, Green etc. They also have a giant robot they used in the final mission of the game.
