'''''Power Rangers''''' is an entertainment and merchandising ] created by ], ] and ] and built around a live-action ] television series, based on Japanese ] franchise '']'' and currently owned by American toy and entertainment company ] through a dedicated subsidiary, SCG Power Rangers LLC.

'''''Power Rangers''''' is a long-running American entertainment and merchandising franchise, built around a ] featuring teams of costumed heroes. Produced by ] (and later ] under ]), the ''Power Rangers'' concept originated from the Japanese ] ]. Rather than making an ] ] of the original, the American production team put together a "new" production with English-speaking actors spliced in with the original Japanese footage in varying ratios. Due to the very Japanese nature of many of the Super Sentai Series' stories and design, the American shows vary detail to appeal to a ] audience. However, they typically dub many of the action sequences featuring the characters in costume and the ] (referred to as "]s" in the English series).


Despite ] that its action violence targeted child audiences, the franchise has been commercially successful. As of 2023, ''Power Rangers'' consists of 30 television seasons of 22 different themed series, three theatrical films released in 1995, 1997, and 2017 and a television special released in 2023.
==Broadcasting summary==
The series that began the ], '']'', began broadcasting as part of the ] group of programs that aired on the ] network. It lasted for three seasons (from 1993 to 1996). The franchise has continued, and as of today consisted of 17 television seasons, 15 different series, and two theatrical films. The latest series, '']'', debuted on March 7, 2009.


In 2018, Hasbro was named the new master toy licensee. Shortly afterwards, Saban Brands and Hasbro announced that the latter would acquire the franchise and the rest of the former's entertainment assets in a $522&nbsp;million deal, with the first products from Hasbro becoming available in early 2019.<ref>{{cite web|title=Hasbro to Acquire Saban Brands' Power Rangers and Other Entertainment Assets|url=https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20180501005946/en/|website=BusinessWire|date=May 1, 2018|access-date=May 1, 2018|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Gruenwedel|first=Erik|title=Hasbro Acquires Saban's 'Power Rangers' for $522 Million

==Premise==
] distributed the ''Power Rangers'' series from 1993 until the end of 2001, and Fox broadcast it until the fall of 2002. ] purchased the franchise as a part of the buyout that took place in 2001.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.saban.com/html/team/saban.html|title=Haim Saban|work=Saban|accessdate=2009-02-23}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.saban.com/html/press/010723.html|title=News Corp. and Haim Saban Reach Agreement to Sell Fox Family Worldwide to Disney for $5.3 Billion|date=July 23, 2001|work=saban|accessdate=2009-02-23}}</ref><ref name=buyout>{{cite news |url=http://money.cnn.com/2001/07/23/deals/fox_disney/ |title=Disney buys Fox Family for $3B |date=2001-07-23 |accessdate=2007-09-21 |work=CNNfn |publisher=www.money.cnn.com}}</ref> This resulted in Fox Family Worldwide becoming ] Worldwide.<ref name=buyout/> This buyout also included Saban Entertainment becoming BVS Entertainment, from ], Fox's parent company, and ].<ref name=buyout/> The show continued to air on Fox until its ] package was renamed the "FoxBox" in the United States. Since September 2002, all ''Power Rangers'' shows have aired on various Disney-owned networks (], ] and ] channels worldwide). ABC Family, another Disney-owned network, also used to air ''Power Rangers'' until it did away with its Jetix timeslot after August 31, 2006. On February 12, 2009 Toon Disney ended in the wake of ], currently ending all cable airings of ''Power Rangers'' in the United States. Several ABC affiliate broadcasting groups, most notably ] and ], have declined to air most of the ''Power Rangers'' series since 2005 due to the lack of FCC-compliant ] in the programs.
{{further|List of Power Rangers characters}}
Since ''Power Rangers'' derives most of its footage from the '']'' series, it features many ] that distinguish it from other superhero series. Each series revolves around a team of youths recruited and trained by a mentor to morph into the eponymous Power Rangers, able to use special powers and pilot immense assault machines, called Zords, to overcome the periodic antagonists. In the original series ''Mighty Morphin'', the wizard ] recruits "] with attitude" against ].<ref>{{cite episode |title=Day of the Dumpster |episode-link=Day of the Dumpster |series=Mighty Morphin Power Rangers |series-link=Mighty Morphin Power Rangers |network=] |airdate=August 28, 1993 |season=1 |number=1}}</ref>


When "morphed," the rangers become powerful ]es wearing color-coded skin-tight ] suits and helmets with ] ]s; identical except in individual rangers' color, helmet design, and minor styling such as incorporating a skirt. Morphed Rangers generally possess enhanced strength, durability, agility and combat prowess. Some possess superhuman or ] abilities such as super-speed, element manipulation, ] or ].<ref>], ], ], ]</ref> In addition, each individual ranger has a unique ], as well as common weaponry used for ground fighting.<ref group=note>As the series progresses, one or more of the Rangers will usually receive motorcycles for long-distance travel, as well as individual Zords. In many series, a Ranger is also given additional Zords or weapons. In some cases, one Ranger may receive something that other Rangers do not; an example is the ] given to the Red Ranger of each series since '']'' (until '']'').</ref> When enemies grow to incredible size (as nearly all do), Rangers use individual Zords that combine into a larger Megazord.
An article in '']'' identified ''RPM'' as the last season of the ''Power Rangers'' run. Production manager Sally Campbell stated in an interview, "...at this stage we will not be shooting another season".<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/news/article.cfm?c_id=1501119&objectid=10560372|title='Power Rangers' defeated|date=March 6, 2009|work=The New Zealand Herald|accessdate=2009-03-07}}</ref>. However, a couple weeks later, Bandai released a statement that "Disney is producing a Season 18 and Bandai America will continue to develop action figures and toys for fans and collectors of all ages."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.actionfigureinsider.com/main/?p=2768 |title=Power Rangers Continues On |accessdate=2009-03-21 |date=2009-03-20 }}</ref>


Rangers teams operate in teams of three to five, with more Rangers joining the team later. Each team of Rangers, with a few exceptions, obeys a general set of conventions, outlined at the beginning of ''Mighty Morphin'' and implied by mentors throughout many of the other series: Power Rangers may not use their Ranger powers for personal gain or for escalating a fight (unless the enemy does so), nor may the Power Rangers disclose their identities to the general public.<ref group=note>Public servants (rescue squad, police officers, etc.) appearing as Rangers disregard this convention in '']'', '']'', '']'' and '']''.</ref> The penalty for disobeying these rules is the loss of their power.
==Summary==
===The Power Rangers===
A Power Ranger, a ]al individual, "]" from a person into a powerful ] — generally wearing a color-coded battle suit usually made of ] or other skin-tight material and a helmet with an ] ].<ref>{{cite episode |title=Day of the Dumpster |episodelink=Day of the Dumpster |series=Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers |serieslink=Mighty Morphin Power Rangers |network=] |airdate=1993-08-28 |season=1 |number=1}}</ref> In many cases, the helmet serves to protect his or her ]. In some cases, more powerful Rangers may have extra shielding on their suit to protect them from strong blows.


As in ''Super Sentai'', the color palette of each ''Power Rangers'' team changes every series.<ref group=note>An original Power Ranger, the ], was created especially for ''Lightspeed Rescue'' to add a sixth Power Ranger to the series.</ref> Only Red and Blue appear in every Ranger team. Other colors and designations also appear throughout the series.<ref group=note>Other color designations include metallic colors, violet, and "Shadow", as well as protagonists who have powers and costumes similar to those of the Rangers but are not called "Power Rangers", such as the ] and ].</ref> A Rangers' color designation also influences their wardrobe throughout the series: civilian clothing often matches Ranger color.<ref group=note>A joke highlighted this correlation in ''Dino Thunder'' when ] (a former Green Ranger, White Ranger, and Red Ranger) became the new Black Ranger; he said that he had to go shopping because he did not own enough black-colored clothing.</ref>
A morphed Ranger generally possesses superhuman strength, durability, and ability in hand-to-hand combat. Starting with the Disney-created series, unmorphed Rangers usually possess superhuman abilities such as ] or ], and is somewhat related to their Ranger abilities.<ref>], ], ], ]</ref>


==History==
Rangers appear to retain their original physiology beneath their suits when in morphed form: viewers have seen Rangers' helmets removed or broken on numerous occasions,<ref>] removed his White Ranger helmet in the ] episode "]"; ], the Red Ranger in ], had his visor smashed in "Journey's End".</ref> revealing his or her natural form underneath.<Ref>Exceptions to this rule include: Justin, the Blue Turbo Ranger, was in his early teens, but had the body of an adult when morphed; Anubis "Doggie" Cruger, the S.P.D. Shadow Ranger, has a muzzle that seems to disappear beneath the helmet; and Daggeron, the Solaris Knight, transforms into his Ancient Mystic Mode while in the process of morphing.</ref> Helmets aside, the suits are donned and removed nearly instantaneously with a glow of light or some other effect. Rangers can also be "de-morphed" involuntarily when suffering significant physical damage.


===Adapting the ''Super Sentai'' series===
Rangers regularly operate in teams of five, with a special sixth Ranger frequently joining the team part way into the series.<Ref>This ''modus operandi'' applied from '']'' through to '']''.</ref> {{as of | 2009 | alt = More recently}} a core team of three will later expand to include additional Rangers. Each Ranger's suit and energy spectrum will match a specific color, with red, yellow, and blue joined by some combination of pink, green, black, or white. Rangers may be named after their respective colors, such as ], ], etc., but numbers or other names may also be used. There is usually no more than one Ranger of a given color on a team, but exceptions of this rule are generally given alternate names (in Time Force, there were two Rangers with red-colored costumes; the first was the Red Time Force Ranger, the second was the Quantum Ranger). Each team's costumes are nearly identical aside from color and helmet design (most notably the shape of the opaque visor) and perhaps a numerical designation. Any additional Rangers will regularly have additional costume modifications, usually some form of altered suit design and/or armor.
The idea of adapting Sentai series for America emerged in the late 1970s after the agreement between ] and ] to exchange concepts to adapt them to their respective audiences. Toei, with ], created the Japanese '']'' television series, and produced three Super Sentai series, which had great success in Japan. Marvel and ] tried to sell the '']'' series to American television stations including ], but found no buyers and the agreement ended.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://lostmediawiki.com/Taiyo_Sentai_Sun_Vulcan_(lost_Marvel_pilot;_1980s)|title=Taiyo Sentai Sun Vulcan (lost Marvel pilot; 1980s) – The Lost Media Wiki|website=lostmediawiki.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://io9.gizmodo.com/secret-origins-of-the-japanese-superhero-show-that-beca-1722551968|title=Secret Origins Of The Japanese Superhero Show That Became Power Rangers|first=James|last=Whitbrook|website=io9|date=August 6, 2015 }}</ref>


Several years later, another idea to adapt ''Super Sentai'' began in the 1980s when ] made a business trip to Japan, in which, during his stay at the hotel, the only thing that was being transmitted on his television was the Japanese series '']''. At the time, Saban was fascinated by the concept of five people masked in spandex suits fighting monsters, so in 1985, he produced the pilot episode of ''Bio-Man'', an American adaptation of ''Choudenshi Bioman'', which was rejected by several of the largest American television stations.<ref>{{cite news|title=A Crop of New Shows Sprouts From Saban Firm's TV Success|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1986-08-12-fi-18776-story.html|access-date=May 29, 2010|newspaper=]|date=August 12, 1986|first=James|last=Bates}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Haim Saban, producer, in Hollywood, Washington, Israel|url=https://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2010/05/10/100510fa_fact_bruck?currentPage=4|access-date=May 29, 2010|newspaper=]|date=May 10, 2010|page=4}}</ref> His idea only took off in 1992, as Saban came to ], whose president ] had previously helmed Marvel Productions and thus was familiar with ''Super Sentai''.<ref name="toys">{{Cite episode|title=Mighty Morphin Power Rangers|series=]|season=3|number=2| network =Netflix|date=November 15, 2019}}</ref>
The Rangers' color designation influences their wardrobe throughout the series: their civilian clothing often features the same color as their Ranger color. A joke highlighted this correlation in "Dino Thunder" when ] (a former Green Ranger, White Ranger, and twice a Red Ranger) became the new Black Dino Ranger; he said that he had to go shopping because he did not own enough black-colored clothing.


Production of ''Power Rangers'' episodes involves extensive localization of and revision of original ''Super Sentai'' source material to incorporate American culture and conform to American television standards. Rather than making an English ] or translation of the Japanese footage, ''Power Rangers'' programs consist of scenes featuring English-speaking actors spliced with scenes featuring either Japanese actors dubbed into English or the action scenes from the Super Sentai Series featuring the Rangers fighting ] or the ] (Zord and Megazord) battles with English dubbing. In some series, original fight scenes are filmed to incorporate characters or items unique to the ''Power Rangers'' production.<ref>{{cite news|last=Heffley|first=Lynne|title=Low-Tech Equals High Ratings : Fox's Offbeat 'Mighty Morphin Power Rangers' Flexes Its Kidvid Muscle|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1993-11-25-ca-60885-story.html|access-date=August 28, 2012|newspaper=Los Angeles Times|date=November 25, 1993}}</ref>
===Elements of a Power Rangers season===
Each team of Power Rangers, with a few exceptions, obeys a general set of conventions, outlined at the beginning of '']'' and implied, though not stated explicitly, throughout many of the other incarnations. Thus the Power Rangers may not use their Ranger powers for personal gain or for escalating a fight, which explains why the Rangers do not simply crush the small monsters by means of their Megazord. Nor may the Power Rangers disclose their identities to the general public, barring extenuating circumstances, although this rule was disregarded in '']'', '']'', '']'' and '']'', in which they were public servants (rescue squad, police officers, etc.) Following a '']''-inspired scene by ]'s townspeople, this rule was also disregarded at the conclusion of '']'' and, to a lesser extent, '']''. The penalty for disobeying these rules, at least in '']'', would be the loss of their power.


Like many of ] previous ventures in ] Japanese television for a ] audience, the plot, character names, and other names usually differ greatly from the source footage, though a few seasons have stayed close to the story of the original Super Sentai season. The American arm of ], who co-produced the Sentai shows and manufactured its toys, worked with the adaptation of the Japanese names.
The Power Rangers have a somewhat standardized arsenal: each Ranger generally carries a weapon such as a ] and/or a ]. Each Ranger also has a secondary set of ]s that can often combine to form a larger weapon (usually a ]). As the series progresses, one or more of the Rangers are also usually given a ] for long-distance travel, as well as individual Zords. In many series, a Ranger is also given additional Zords or weapons. In some cases, one Ranger may receive something that other Rangers may not have; an example of this is the ] given to the Red Ranger of each series since '']''. Although much of the arsenal can also be found in '']'', there are usually at least some that are not, generally added for the express purpose of marketing toys designed and sold by ] America.


A brainstorming among executives led to "Power Rangers", and for the specific show that would be made, '']'', evoking the transformation sequences. The meeting also brought up the term "Zord" for the giant robots, to invoke both the ] that the Megazord carried, and the dinosaurs that were the team's theme.<ref name="toys" />
Episodes always include carry-overs from the Japanese source-material. Less commonly, some series use only the Sentai designs and footage, though despite this some sets have to be replicated for original footage if needed. In one instance, in order to maintain the trend of the Sixth Ranger for a series where only five existed in the source footage, the ] was created especially for ''Lightspeed Rescue''.


Along with adapting the villains from the Super Sentai counterparts, most ''Power Rangers'' series also feature villains with no Sentai counterpart. Generally, the primary antagonist of a ''Power Rangers'' series (for example, Lord Zedd, Divatox, etc.) are not adapted from the Sentai. Exceptions to this includes ''Zeo'', ''Lightspeed Rescue'' and a few others which only use villains adapted from the Japanese shows.
In seasons following ''Power Rangers in Space'' (1998), it became common for each team to follow a separate ] from those of previous incarnations. In later seasons, it became a tradition for two teams of Power Rangers to team up to take on a villain. In '']'', the tenth incarnation of ''Power Rangers'', this moves to the next level, as ten ]s teamed up in the episode "]"; and in '']'' a team of former rangers from various incarnations of the series teamed up with the Overdrive Rangers to defeat an alliance formed by the son of Rita & Lord Zedd, Thrax, in the episode '']''. The only seasons thus far to not feature such a team-up are '']'', due to a shift back to non-] ] when production moved to New Zealand, '']'' and '']'', due to budgetary reasons. This was somewhat rectified when Xander, the Green Mystic Force Ranger, and Tori, the Blue Ninja Storm Ranger, appeared in the ''Operation Overdrive'' crossover two-parter, "]".


The ] began with '']'' (an American adaptation of the 1992 Japanese ] Series, '']''), which began broadcasting as part of the ]'s ] programming block.<ref name="MMPR2010">{{cite news|url=http://www.kungfucinema.com/the-original-power-rangers-return-in-2010-11072|archive-url=https://archive.today/20100408032401/http://www.kungfucinema.com/the-original-power-rangers-return-in-2010-11072|url-status=dead|archive-date=April 8, 2010|title=The original 'Power Rangers' return in 2010|work=Kung Fu Cinema|access-date=October 11, 2009}}
Traditionally the arsenal of a Ranger team, especially the Zords, gets destroyed at the end of the season in order to destroy the final monster (often the main villain). The Rangers also tend to give up their powers, though they remain available for later team-ups (for instance, at the end of ''Ninja Storm'', the Rangers sacrificed their powers to imprison Lothor. Once Lothor was freed, however, they were able to get their powers back in order to fight him).

The first six seasons (beginning with ''Mighty Morphin Power Rangers'' and ending with ''In Space'') followed an overarching, evolving storyline. The second season began the annual tradition of the Rangers acquiring new Zords to battle enemies while the core suits from the first season were used, except for that of the White Ranger. With the fourth season, ''Zeo'', ''Power Rangers'' began following the ''Super Sentai'' series' practice of annual Ranger suit changes.

Although the seventh season, ''Lost Galaxy'', had ties with the preceding season, it was otherwise the first season to follow a self-contained story, as would later seasons of the show up until the seventeenth, ''RPM''. The season also began the tradition of team-up episodes featuring Rangers, villains, and other characters from past seasons. Beginning with the eighteenth season, ''Samurai'', the show returned to a multi-season format similar to ''Mighty Morphin Power Rangers'', with self-contained storylines told across two seasons each. The thirtieth season, ''Cosmic Fury'', is a continuation of ''Dino Fury''{{'}}s story.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news/2022/08/28/hasbros-entertainment-studio-entertainment-one-announces-power-rangers-cosmic-fury-200313/20220828eone01/|title=Hasbro's Entertainment Studio, Entertainment One, Announces "Power Rangers: Cosmic Fury" |website=] |date=28 August 2022|access-date= 8 September 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://sea.ign.com/power-rangers/189660/news/power-rangers-cosmic-fury-is-a-huge-way-to-celebrate-franchises-30th-anniversary |title='Power Rangers Cosmic Fury' is a Huge Way to Celebrate Franchise's 30th Anniversary |website=] |date=29 August 2022 |access-date= 30 August 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Forde |first=Moriba |title=POWER RANGERS COSMIC FURY: THE RADIANT NEW SEASON MIRACULOUSLY REVEALED AT PMC 2022|url=https://www.theilluminerdi.com/2022/08/27/cosmic-fury-officially-revealed/ |website=The Illuminerdi |access-date=August 27, 2022 |date=August 27, 2022}}</ref>

Power Rangers is an entertainment and merchandising franchise created by Haim Saban, Shuki Levy and Shotaro Ishinomori and built around a live-action superhero television series, based on Japanese tokusatsu franchise Super Sentai and currently owned by American toy and entertainment company Hasbro through a dedicated subsidiary, SCG Power Rangers LLC. It was first produced in 1993 by Saban Entertainment (later BVS Entertainment), which Saban sold to the Walt Disney Company and then brought back under his now-defunct successor company Saban Brands within his current company, Saban Capital Group, the Power Rangers television series takes much of its footage from the Super Sentai television series produced by Toei Company. The first Power Rangers entry, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, debuted on August 28, 1993, and helped launch the Fox Kids programming block of the 1990s, during which it catapulted into popular culture along with a line of action figures and other toys by Bandai. By 2001, the media franchise had generated over $6 billion in toy sales.

Despite initial criticism that its action violence targeted child audiences, the franchise has been commercially successful. As of 2023, Power Rangers consists of 30 television seasons of 22 different themed series, three theatrical films released in 1995, 1997, and 2017 and a television special released in 2023.

In 2018, Hasbro was named the new master toy licensee. Shortly afterwards, Saban Brands and Hasbro announced that the latter would acquire the franchise and the rest of the former's entertainment assets in a $522 million deal, with the first products from Hasbro becoming available in early 2019. In 2024, Hasbro announced a global licensing agreement with Playmates Toys to produce new additional cross-category Power Rangers toys in 2025.

Premise

Further information: List of Power Rangers characters

Since Power Rangers derives most of its footage from the Super Sentai series, it features many hallmarks that distinguish it from other superhero series. Each series revolves around a team of youths recruited and trained by a mentor to morph into the eponymous Power Rangers, able to use special powers and pilot immense assault machines, called Zords, to overcome the periodic antagonists. In the original series Mighty Morphin, the wizard Zordon recruits "teenagers with attitude" against Rita Repulsa.

When "morphed," the rangers become powerful superheroes wearing color-coded skin-tight spandex suits and helmets with opaque visors; identical except in individual rangers' color, helmet design, and minor styling such as incorporating a skirt. Morphed Rangers generally possess enhanced strength, durability, agility and combat prowess. Some possess superhuman or psychic abilities such as super-speed, element manipulation, extra-sensory perception or invisibility. In addition, each individual ranger has a unique weapon, as well as common weaponry used for ground fighting. When enemies grow to incredible size (as nearly all do), Rangers use individual Zords that combine into a larger Megazord.

Rangers teams operate in teams of three to five, with more Rangers joining the team later. Each team of Rangers, with a few exceptions, obeys a general set of conventions, outlined at the beginning of Mighty Morphin and implied by mentors throughout many of the other series: Power Rangers may not use their Ranger powers for personal gain or for escalating a fight (unless the enemy does so), nor may the Power Rangers disclose their identities to the general public. The penalty for disobeying these rules is the loss of their power.

As in Super Sentai, the color palette of each Power Rangers team changes every series. Only Red and Blue appear in every Ranger team. Other colors and designations also appear throughout the series. A Rangers' color designation also influences their wardrobe throughout the series: civilian clothing often matches Ranger color.

History

Adapting the Super Sentai series

The idea of adapting Sentai series for America emerged in the late 1970s after the agreement between Toei Company and Marvel Comics to exchange concepts to adapt them to their respective audiences. Toei, with Marvel Productions, created the Japanese Spider-Man television series, and produced three Super Sentai series, which had great success in Japan. Marvel and Stan Lee tried to sell the Sun Vulcan series to American television stations including HBO, but found no buyers and the agreement ended.

Several years later, another idea to adapt Super Sentai began in the 1980s when Haim Saban made a business trip to Japan, in which, during his stay at the hotel, the only thing that was being transmitted on his television was the Japanese series Choudenshi Bioman. At the time, Saban was fascinated by the concept of five people masked in spandex suits fighting monsters, so in 1985, he produced the pilot episode of Bio-Man, an American adaptation of Choudenshi Bioman, which was rejected by several of the largest American television stations. His idea only took off in 1992, as Saban came to Fox Kids, whose president Margaret Loesch had previously helmed Marvel Productions and thus was familiar with Super Sentai.

Production of Power Rangers episodes involves extensive localization of and revision of original Super Sentai source material to incorporate American culture and conform to American television standards. Rather than making an English dub or translation of the Japanese footage, Power Rangers programs consist of scenes featuring English-speaking actors spliced with scenes featuring either Japanese actors dubbed into English or the action scenes from the Super Sentai Series featuring the Rangers fighting monsters or the giant robot (Zord and Megazord) battles with English dubbing. In some series, original fight scenes are filmed to incorporate characters or items unique to the Power Rangers production.

Like many of Saban Entertainment previous ventures in localizing Japanese television for a Western audience, the plot, character names, and other names usually differ greatly from the source footage, though a few seasons have stayed close to the story of the original Super Sentai season. The American arm of Bandai, who co-produced the Sentai shows and manufactured its toys, worked with the adaptation of the Japanese names.

A brainstorming among executives led to "Power Rangers", and for the specific show that would be made, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, evoking the transformation sequences. The meeting also brought up the term "Zord" for the giant robots, to invoke both the sword that the Megazord carried, and the dinosaurs that were the team's theme.

Along with adapting the villains from the Super Sentai counterparts, most Power Rangers series also feature villains with no Sentai counterpart. Generally, the primary antagonist of a Power Rangers series (for example, Lord Zedd, Divatox, etc.) are not adapted from the Sentai. Exceptions to this includes Zeo, Lightspeed Rescue and a few others which only use villains adapted from the Japanese shows.

The franchise began with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (an American adaptation of the 1992 Japanese Super Sentai Series, Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger), which began broadcasting as part of the Fox Broadcasting Company's Fox Kids programming block.

In honour of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers' broadcast premiere, Hasbro announced "National Power Rangers Day" to be celebrated annually on August 28, 2018.

Broadcast and production

1993–2010

Saban Entertainment produced and distributed Power Rangers from 1993 until the end of 2001, with Fox Kids broadcasting the series in the United States until the Fall of 2002. The Walt Disney Company acquired the franchise as part of a larger buyout of Fox Family Worldwide that took place in 2001. Fox Family Worldwide subsequently became ABC Family Worldwide Inc. This buyout also saw Saban Entertainment become BVS Entertainment in 2002, from News Corporation, Fox's parent company, and Haim Saban.

From September 2002, Power Rangers had aired on various Disney-owned networks, including the ABC Kids program block on ABC, the ABC Family and Toon Disney cable networks, and Jetix-branded outlets worldwide. Disney moved production of the franchise from Los Angeles to Studio West in New Zealand after Wild Force ended. Several ABC affiliate broadcasting groups, including Hearst Television, declined to air the series due to the lack of FCC-compliant educational and informational content.

2008's Power Rangers Jungle Fury was originally set to be the final season, but due to obligations with Bandai, Disney would produce 2009's Power Rangers RPM. An article in The New Zealand Herald published on March 7, 2009, identified RPM as the last season of the Power Rangers run. Production manager Sally Campbell stated in an interview, "...at this stage we will not be shooting another season." A September 1, 2009, revision to Disney A to Z: The Official Encyclopedia by Disney's head archivist Dave Smith states that "production of new episodes ceased in 2009". Production of Power Rangers ceased and the last series by BVS Entertainment, RPM, ended on December 26, 2009.

On October 1, 2009, Bandai released a press release stating that Disney would re-broadcast Mighty Morphin Power Rangers in January 2010 on ABC Kids in lieu of producing a new season. A new toy line accompanied the broadcast and appeared in stores in the later part of 2009.

2011–2021

On May 12, 2010, Haim Saban bought back the Power Rangers franchise from Disney for $43 million and announced plans to produce a new season of the television series. Beginning with the eighteenth season, Samurai (using footage from the 2009 Super Sentai series, Samurai Sentai Shinkenger) the series would be produced under Saban Capital Group's new Saban Brands subsidiary and premiere on Nickelodeon on February 7, 2011. Reruns of previous seasons and episodes would also begin airing on sister channel Nicktoons later that year. In addition to Samurai, Saban announced plans to make a new Power Rangers film.

On July 2, 2012, Saban Brands announced that would it launch a new Saturday morning cartoon block on The CW, called Vortexx, on August 25, 2012, with reruns of Power Rangers Lost Galaxy to air on the block.

On October 1, 2013, Saban Brands announced that it had extended agreements for the franchise with Nickelodeon and Bandai America Incorporated through 2016. In January 2016, Saban and Nickelodeon extended their broadcast partnership through 2018. In February 2018, it was announced that Power Rangers would continue airing on Nickelodeon through 2021. That same month, Saban Brands appointed Hasbro as the global master toy licensee for Power Rangers in April 2019 with a future option to purchase the franchise. On May 1, 2018, Saban would agree to sell Power Rangers and other entertainment assets to Hasbro for US$522 million in cash and stock. The Saban Brands subsidiary ended operations upon the closure of the deal on July 2, 2018.

The twenty-sixth and twenty-seventh seasons, Power Rangers Beast Morphers, would be produced by Hasbro's Allspark studio. Beginning with the twenty-eighth season, Power Rangers Dino Fury, the series is being produced by Entertainment One (which was acquired by Hasbro on December 30, 2019, and merged with Allspark in October 2020).

2021–2023

In late April 2021, actor Chance Perez announced in an interview that the second season of Power Rangers Dino Fury (the twenty-ninth season overall) would premiere on Netflix in 2022; making it the first season of the series to premiere exclusively online through a streaming service. Meanwhile, new episodes of the series moved to the streaming service on June 15, 2021.

On June 14, 2022, it was announced that Jenny Klein would serve as showrunner for a Power Rangers television series that is being developed by Entertainment One for Netflix. It was reported that she will work alongside Jonathan Entwistle, who is set to direct a second attempt at a film reboot (unrelated to the 2017 film reboot). Entwistle stated on his now-deleted Twitter page that the series he and Klein are developing was set to be part of the same canon as the upcoming Power Rangers film, which he described as a "cinematic universe". In June 2024, it was reported that none of those plans would move forward at Netflix; Hasbro Entertainment stated they were seeking a new partner to take the series in a new creative direction. No timeline was immediately announced.

On June 28, 2023, Hasbro announced that Power Rangers Cosmic Fury would be the final season to be filmed in New Zealand.

The first six seasons (beginning with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and ending with In Space) followed an overarching, evolving storyline. The second season began the annual tradition of the Rangers acquiring new Zords to battle enemies while the core suits from the first season were used, except for that of the White Ranger. With the fourth season, Zeo, Power Rangers began following the Super Sentai series' practice of annual Ranger suit changes.

Although the seventh season, Lost Galaxy, had ties with the preceding season, it was otherwise the first season to follow a self-contained story, as would later seasons of the show up until the seventeenth, RPM. The season also began the tradition of team-up episodes featuring Rangers, villains, and other characters from past seasons. Beginning with the eighteenth season, Samurai, the show returned to a multi-season format similar to Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, with self-contained storylines told across two seasons each. The thirtieth season, Cosmic Fury, is a continuation of Dino Fury's story.

According to executive producer Simon Bennett, Cosmic Fury was planned to be the final season set within the canon established since Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, with Hasbro instead opting for a franchise reboot; this reboot was originally set to be produced in partnership with Netflix; however, in 2024, Hasbro and Netflix ended their partnership, with the former opting to search for a new creative partner.

Feature films

Power Rangers has been adapted into three theatrical motion pictures. The first two are distributed by 20th Century Fox, while the third film was released in 2017 by Lionsgate.

In May 2014, Saban Brands and Lionsgate announced that they are planning to produce a new Power Rangers feature film. The film, titled simply Power Rangers, was released on March 24, 2017 to mixed reviews and a low performance at the box office. A fourth Power Rangers film is currently in development by Entertainment One and Netflix. On July 11, 2019, during a Reddit AMA, Dacre Montgomery revealed that the studio had plans to produce a second reboot, without him and the rest of the cast and the director returning. On December 13, 2019, it was reported that Jonathan Entwistle is in early talks to direct the reboot, with Patrick Burleigh being set to write the screenplay. The plot will reportedly involve time travel and will be set in the 1990s. These plans were scuttled in 2024.

On April 19, 2023, a special film titled Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always was released. It serves to commemorate the 30th anniversary of both Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and the Power Rangers franchise.

Distribution

Power Rangers has long had success in international markets and continues to air in many countries. As of 2006, Power Rangers aired at least 65 times a week in more than 40 worldwide markets. Many markets carry or have carried the series on their respective Fox or later Jetix/Disney XD channels or have syndicated the program on regional children's channels or blocks, either dubbed into the local language or broadcast in the original English. Since the 2010 acquisition by Saban Brands, international television distribution rights for Power Rangers have been managed by MarVista Entertainment until early-2019.

Broadcast in East Asian territories has been treated differently from in other international markets due to the prevalence and familiarity of 'the Super Sentai brand originating in Japan. Power Rangers was briefly banned in Malaysia for supposedly encouraging the use of drugs because it contained the word "Morphin'" in its title, which could be associated with morphine. The show eventually aired without the offending word. In Japan, many Power Rangers television seasons and films were dubbed into Japanese for television and video with the voice actors often pulled from past Super Sentai casts, leading to the English-dubbed action sequences being "re-dubbed" or "restored" back to Japanese as well. Power Rangers Mystic Force is the latest season to be broadcast in Japan on Toei Channel in January 2014, with another cast voicing the American counterparts. After broadcast of Power Rangers ended in South Korea with Wild Force, Bandai of Korea started airing dubbed Super Sentai series under the 파워레인저 (Power Ranger) brand on JEI TV. Some seasons of Super Sentai broadcast in South Korea have similarly named titles as their American counterparts, such as Power Ranger Dino Thunder for Abaranger in 2007 and Power Ranger S.P.D. in place of Dekaranger.

Home media

On VHS, 3 million Power Rangers video cassettes had been sold in the United States by early 1994.

As of October 2009, 33 Power Rangers DVD collections have been released in the United States:

Internationally, additional DVD releases have occurred (such as Lightspeed Rescue, Time Force and Wild Force in Germany) and as free DVDs attached to the Jetix magazine, published in the UK. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Season 1, Season 2, and Season 3, Power Rangers Zeo, Power Rangers Turbo, and Power Rangers in Space have been released in Germany as well in both English and German, with Power Rangers Lost Galaxy only in German. Additionally, Ninja Storm, Dino Thunder, S.P.D., Mystic Force, and Operation Overdrive saw complete boxset releases in the UK. In France, Mighty Morphin Season 1 and Season 2 have been released in their entirety in 5 episode DVD volumes, and the first 25 episodes of Season 3 were released in May 2008. In Italy, Mighty Morphin, Zeo, Dino Thunder and S.P.D. have appeared in their entirety. Zeo and S.P.D. were made available as commercial DVDs, while Mighty Morphin and Dino Thunder were issued as bi-weekly volumes at newsstands.

The iTunes Store previously made Power Rangers episodes available: part of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, all of Power Rangers S.P.D., and the first 26 episodes of Power Rangers Mystic Force. Subsequent seasons and episodes of the program also made their appearances in the iTunes Store, but as of July 2009, Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie is the only Power Rangers film available. In 2012, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Season 1 volumes 1 & 2 were released on iTunes to coincide with the DVD releases. As of February 2013, all 3 seasons of MMPR were released on iTunes.

On June 15, 2011, all episodes of Power Rangers from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Season 1 to Mighty Morphin Power Rangers re-version were made available for instant streaming on Netflix. In 2015, Power Rangers became available on the iTunes Store. In 2021, all episodes of Power Rangers (excluding Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (season 1) to Mighty Morphin Power Rangers re-version and Power Rangers Beast Morphers) were removed from Netflix.

On March 12, 2012, Shout! Factory announced a home video distribution deal with Saban, which includes the first 17 series of Power Rangers. Shout! Factory released the first seven seasons on DVD in August 2012, seasons 8–12 in November 2013, a 20-year collection in December 2013, and seasons 13–17 in April 2014.

On March 22, 2012 Lionsgate Home Entertainment reached a home media distribution deal with Saban to release Power Rangers Samurai to DVD and Blu-ray.

Toys

On February 15, 2018, Saban Brands announced that their 25-year partnership with Bandai would end in 2019. The next day, it was confirmed that Hasbro would be the new "global master toy licensee" for the franchise starting in April 2019, with a future option for Hasbro to buy the entire franchise. Hasbro paid $22.25 million upon the toy contract's closure. When they acquired the franchise as a whole later that year, that amount was credited against the purchase price paid to Saban for the series and related assets.

Hasbro has since sublicensed some toy rights to companies including Playmates Toys, Threezero and Super7.

Books

In November 2018, Insight Editions released Power Rangers: The Ultimate Visual History, detailing the various toys and television seasons over the franchise's 25-year run.

Parodies

The franchise has been parodied by many sectors of popular media along the years.

  • GTA V: The game features a fictitious animated show named "Kung Fu Rainbow Lazerforce" as a series in the in-game television program.
  • "Sour Rangers", the parody series of the Power Rangers from Annoying Orange.
  • British professional wrestling promotion All Star Wrestling featured multiple wrestlers performing under masks as the "Power Restlin' Rangers" on their shows in 1995.

Notes

  1. As the series progresses, one or more of the Rangers will usually receive motorcycles for long-distance travel, as well as individual Zords. In many series, a Ranger is also given additional Zords or weapons. In some cases, one Ranger may receive something that other Rangers do not; an example is the Battlizer given to the Red Ranger of each series since Power Rangers in Space (until Operation Overdrive).
  2. Public servants (rescue squad, police officers, etc.) appearing as Rangers disregard this convention in Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue, Power Rangers S.P.D., Power Rangers Operation Overdrive and Power Rangers RPM.
  3. An original Power Ranger, the Titanium Ranger, was created especially for Lightspeed Rescue to add a sixth Power Ranger to the series.
  4. Other color designations include metallic colors, violet, and "Shadow", as well as protagonists who have powers and costumes similar to those of the Rangers but are not called "Power Rangers", such as the Blue Senturion and Magna Defender.
  5. A joke highlighted this correlation in Dino Thunder when Tommy Oliver (a former Green Ranger, White Ranger, and Red Ranger) became the new Black Ranger; he said that he had to go shopping because he did not own enough black-colored clothing.
