Super Sentai: Difference between revisions

* [[Media Watchdogs]]: Around 1983/84 Super Sentai series recieved serious retools in how the action scenes played out due to being specifically targeted by [[Moral Guardians]] for violent content due to being directly targeted at children.

* [[Mini-Dress of Power]]: Every female ranger since ''Maskman'' (plus the girls in ''JAKQ'' and ''Denjiman'' before it; ''Fiveman'' and ''Dekaranger'' being the only exceptions after), over their regular bodysuit/leggings, which allows one to tell which (usually yellow) rangers were gender-swapped when the series was converted to ''Power Rangers''. Even when they did not have them, sometimes the suits had designs reminiscent of swimsuits (as seen in ''Bioman'' and ''Changeman'').

* [[Mood Whiplash]]: Aside from [[Wham! Episode|Wham Episodes]] interspersing with [[BLAM Episode|BLAM Episodes]] depending on the series, there's also the fact that the ending theme is quite upbeat pretty much most of the time, creating the effect when an episode ends in a dramatic note.

* [[Name's the Same]]: Counting only the on-duty Rangers, so far we had three Akiras (''Goranger'', ''Denziman'' - [[Gender Blender Name|this one was a woman]] - and ''Maskman''), two Asukas (''Hurricaneger''<ref>Shurikenger's real name was Asuka Kagura</ref> and ''Abaranger''), two Daichis (''JAKQ'' and ''Turboranger''), two Gais (''Jetman'' and ''Gokaiger''), two Gakus (''Fiveman'' and ''Gaoranger''), two Goros (''JAKQ'' and ''Ohranger''), three Hikarus (''Bioman'' - this one too was a girl - , ''Gingaman'' and ''Magiranger''), two Juns (one male in ''Denziman'', one female in ''Bioman''), two Kais (''Gaoranger'' and ''Magiranger''), two Kens (''Fiveman'' and ''Gekiranger''), two Kentas (''Maskman'' and ''Megaranger''), two Kyosukes (''Battle Fever J'' and ''Carranger''), two Rikis (''Turboranger'' and ''Ohranger''), three Ryus (''JAKQ'', ''Dynaman'' and ''Jetman''), two Shiros (''Battle Fever J'' and ''Bioman''), two Shous (''Changeman'' and ''Go Go V''), two Takerus (''Maskman'' and ''Shinkenger''), two Tatsuyas (''Denziman'' and ''Timeranger''), two Yosukes (''Dynaman'' and ''Hurricanger''), two Yokos (''Carranger'' and ''Go-Busters'') and two Daigoros (''Goranger'' and ''Denziman''). By extension, one can also count two Hayates (''Changeman'' - in which case it's Shou/Change Griffin's surname - and ''Gingaman'' - where it's a given name), two Tsubasas (''Changeman'' - again where it's a surname, Mai/Change Phoenix's - and ''Magiranger'', where it's a given name), two Shiraishis (Kensaku/Battle Cossack in ''Battle Fever'' and Mako/ShinkenPink in ''Shinkenger''), two Nagisas (Maria/Miss America II in ''Battle Fever'' and Sayaka/Change Mermaid in ''Changeman'', also it's not spelled with the same Kanji), and three Joes (''Liveman'' - where it was spelled the Japanese way, Jou - ''Go-onger'', a surname also spelled the Japanese way, and ''Gokaiger'' - where it's spelled the English way), and ''six'' Hoshikawas (semi-justified: one of them is Ryu/DynaBlack from ''Dynaman'', while the others are the all-sibling team of Fivemen).
