- With the reveal that the story begins with Jack Matter already controlling the universe:
- Our team is composed of a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits led by Shishi Red onto a journey with several franchise Mythology Gags and Shout Outs. He gains his allies over the course of the premier arc One Piece/Kyoryuger style. Together they travel to bizarre places, from planet to planet, in an episodic Space Opera until they catch Jack Matter's attention, then the Wake-Up Call Boss appears...
- Jossed. While they are a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits, most of the rest of this WMG is proven false in the first episode.
- Not really... the only part proven wrong concerns Jark Matter which know about them from Space 1. Otherwise, the Space Opera, themed planets, and gather the team over the course of several episodes has been correct.
- Our team is composed of a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits led by Shishi Red onto a journey with several franchise Mythology Gags and Shout Outs. He gains his allies over the course of the premier arc One Piece/Kyoryuger style. Together they travel to bizarre places, from planet to planet, in an episodic Space Opera until they catch Jack Matter's attention, then the Wake-Up Call Boss appears...
- "Kind of" is right. He's a Mechanical Lifeform. It's black who's a true robot.
- Shishi Red:
- Will be somewhat of a return to Standardized Leader.
- The hero chosen by the most powerful Voyager. Is under gold, but is a leads a sub main-five team.
- Zig-zagged in this case - he has the most powerful voyager (it's the main body of the mech), and it seems like he'll lead the main-five team. However, he's not under gold (he's actually under Violet), and he wasn't chosen by the voyager, but rather, the Kyutama.
- He'll be The Chosen One, but with a case of I Just Wantto Be Normal.
- Ookami Blue:
- Will be an energetic Kid-Appeal Character for boys, who also has traits of The Lancer.
- A hunter who was Raised by Wolves.
- Is a wolf Zyuman who is an eager explorer.
- Kajiki Yellow:
- The Stoic and The Smart Guy.
- The savvy guy who's stuck with energetic Green and finds her annoying.
- Is actually a woman who is so masculine, her uniform doesn't have a skirt compared to Green and Pink.
- In fact, she hates skirts with a passion.
- Jossed by the actor reveal.
- Is anti-chilvaric, contrasting the previous yellow ranger, Zyuoh Lion.
- Jossed.
- Is the most pragmatic of the group.
- Is a Combat Medic or The Paladin who can whip up food that heals the team.
- Chameleon Green:
- Will be a Genki Girl and Kid-Appeal Character for girls, with an affinity for music (the Chameleon eyes on her helmet look a little like headphones).
- A Plucky Butt-Monkey
- A sassy Tomboywitha Girly Streak who is secretly in love with one of the guys.
- A Lovable Coward who constantly takes refuge in chivalry from other males.
- A Running Gag is that she will always turn to Yellow for help, only to be turned down on the spot.
- And when she gets to turn to some else, Washi Pink will always coincidentally be there to call her out of it.
- Jossed.
- Ant thank the stars for that! It would of meant that one of the only two female members would be a total wuss who relies on men for everything and is the show's Butt-Monkey and The Load. The Unfortunate Implications would of been insane!
- Oushi Black:
- Obiviously The Big Guy who is also Big Fun.
- a Heartbroken Badass who is older than the others.
- Washi Pink:
- Will be The Heart or Yamato Nadeshiko with traits of Silk Hiding Steel.
- A Perky Goth who is the student/charge/best friend/relative of one of the older males.
- She's a robot, so this one is Jossed.
- Sasori Orange: The Lancer with hints of fear that he Can't Catch Up to Red.
- At the moment, the Can't Catch Up part is jossed - he wants nothing to do with Lucky.
- Tenbin Gold:
- A Large Ham and Attention Whore who may have hints of Become a Real Boy if the WMG about being a robot is true.
- The true leader or captain of the group.
- Jossed by the reveal of Shou Ranpou.
- a former Knight Templar who is seeking redemption for his dark past.
- A Reasonable Authority Figure of the group.
- Hebitsukai Silver:
- Except Pluto's no longer officially recognized as a planet. The only way they could have the 9 members gain a powerup would be if the leader received one based around The Sun, while the rest of the team got ones based around the 8 planets.
- Pluto still exists despite not being a planet, so it can still be referenced.
- Jossed for Purple with the reveal of RyuCommander, and possibly jossed for White by the same scans that revealed the purple ranger, which hint at a White Ranger later on.
- Jossed it's actually a powerup for ShishiRed..
- Except for that to work, the Lion ranger would have to be a black ranger - Jan, the red ranger, was tiger themed. Pretty likely to be jossed, since Gekiranger finished a while ago.
- Confirmed.
- Jossed - ShishiRed is a Rookie Red Ranger.
- Well, the team seems to be starting out with only a handful of members, so this one COULD be confirmed - although we'll need to see how things go down the line...
- The Kyulette seems to be made with the purpose of avoiding this - while it looks like Garu and Lucky will always be present, the other 3 rangers that were part of the teams chosen by it have been different so far.
- Jossed by the actor reveal.
- I meant the mecha, not the ranger.
- Looking likely to be jossed, since episode 1 has come and aired, and the mech don't appear to be sentient...although for all we know, they could have some story arc where the Kyutama gain human forms or could think on their own.
- Confirmed.
- These appearances will most likely need to involve time travel due to the "far future" setting. Fortunately, Gentaro's previously done a bit of time travel due to the plot of Movie War Ultimatum, so that won't be much of an issue, not to mention all the other time travellers in this universe. Since the Movie War Ultimatum version of Inazuman also uses time travel (albeit offscreen) in Super Hero Taisen Z, we could also see him due to the five year timeskip in the movie passing in real life.
- Problem with a Fourze Crossover: Gentaro's actor became a huge star as a result of his role in Fourze - it would be too expensive to hire him (and considering that Takeru Satoh hasn't reprised the role of Den-O after Final Countdown, Toei probably wouldn't be willing to put that much cash down for a one-time crossover). If they were going to team up with a Fourze Rider, it would probably be Meteor, since last time I checked, his actor isn't as big of a star as Gentaro's (although they could have Fourze transformed all the time and use a Fake Shemp), although chances are that if they were going to cross over with a space themed rider, it would likely be Super 1 first.
- No word on a Fourze crossover, but Gavan is confirmed to appear alongside DekaRed in episode 18 (although it's merely to promote "Gavan vs Dekaranger" as opposed to a full-fledged crossover).
- Toei was able to get Gentaro's actor back for Heisei Generations FINAL, so Toei might be able to film a crossover at the same time. Only issue would be explaining away the crossover in-series (as it's been established that Kyuranger does not take place in the main universe), assuming they didn't want to reuse the set-up from the Dekaranger crossover.
- Jossed.
- Jossed, the Sixth Ranger is an actual ranger... but he is purple.
- The team COULD get one who has white for a color, since there are rumors of the team ending with 13 members, and the only recurring Sentai color that hasn't had a corresponding ranger revealed so far is white. Plus, it's been a while since we had an Extra Hero who was a full-time member (the closest thing we've had recently was Ryo Knight, and he only appeared in 1 episode).
- Sort of confirmed; the synopsis for episode 1 involves Lucky encountering Oushi Black, Chameleon Green, and Kajiki Yellow all already fighting.
- That last part is Jossed. The mentor is the Sixth Ranger.
- Them teaming up with Kamen Rider Fourze and (possibly) the Changemennote will likely happen (they could also make a reference to the space-themed Power Rangers series by having them team up with the Megarangers or Gingamen, referencing how those seasons PR counterparts are space-themed), but Ultraman is a bit of a stretch - I could see them including Ultraman in the upcoming Chou Super Hero Taisen, although I think we'd get a Space Sheriff vs Kyuranger before we got an Ultraman vs Kyuranger.
- Not entirely out of the question, seeing as how the titular Ultraman of Ultraman Geed, the next Ultra series, is the son of Ultraman Belial (who shares a VA with Balance), so it's possible that Geed could end up crossing over with Kyuranger.
- We did eventually get a Kyuranger vs Gavan, so it's only an issue of if Toei would be willing to work with Tsuburaya Productions for such a crossover.
- Not entirely out of the question, seeing as how the titular Ultraman of Ultraman Geed, the next Ultra series, is the son of Ultraman Belial (who shares a VA with Balance), so it's possible that Geed could end up crossing over with Kyuranger.
- Rumours are going around about a "Ryuu Purple", so you might be onto something...
- I think there will be 12 rangers to be honest since Kyuranger feels like a show where they would split the teams into three.
- Scans show a purple ranger named Ryu Commander, so I'd say this one is confirmed. Only thing left to see now is if he ends up being the team's first Sixth Ranger or if he ends up being considered an Extra ranger like Doggie Kruger.
- Considering that the producer just said that Kyuranger is inspired by Japanese soccer teams (which has 11 members), and you add the referee, you might be up to something.
- Looking unlikely, since there weren't any Chameleon Saints...
- Confirmed with the use of Hikari Kyutama a sun and moon double power up. Also with the Pegasus Kyutama for Pegasus Shishi Red.
- It's gonna be a bit hard for them to meet the Timerangers since the Kyurangers aren't in the same dimension as the Timerangers.
- If you're going to go by the logic of him having 2 exclusive power ups as a sign of what he'll be like in the future, then Yamato would've been the second coming before Lucky. It could just be that once the excitement of becoming a Red Ranger wears off, he'll start to mellow out.
- Alternately, he'll be the next Gentaro Kisaragi.
- Confirmed. Kotaro, a kid from Earth, becomes Koguma Skyblue, the 11th ranger.
- Seems to be confirmed, given his behaviour in Episode 3.
- Confirmed as of Episode 4 with Washi Pink's debut.
- Jossed. The Ex-Aid Kyutama was used by Lucky to assist him in fighting off Space Ikadevil in Episode 7. Instead of a mech component, Ex-Aid Maximum Gamer will grow giant-sized using the Giant Enegry Item to fight alongside Kyuren-Oh
- It would be depressing if it turned out earth got totaled after Inferred Holocaust: the whole legendary war and it fusing with zyuland
- Confirmed by episode 18 - the team ends up going through a wormhole in order to crossover with the Dekarangers and Gavan.
- The trailer for Space 3 does seem to confirm the existence of duplication powers, we'll just have to see what Kyutama causes it...
- Gemini does create a clone for Shishi Red duting a fight in episode 3.
- Well, as of episode 4, they are on Earth, but it's still up in the air if it's just going to be for an arc that the Kamen Rider Ex-Aid crossover ties into or if it'll be like Flashman, where they have to stay on earth.
- Since the circumstances of the show currently make the Early-Bird Cameo they had during Ninninger vs Zyuohger impossible without time travel, not to mention that unless Japan is the one part of the Earth Jark Matter hasn't conquered, Ex-Aid likely happened in the past, I'd say that time travel will somehow be involved...although if Jark Matter used Time Travel is up in the air.
- Jossed - if anything, it seems that the series takes place in an alternate universe, as episode 18 has them visiting the world that Dekaranger takes place in by traveling into a wormhole.
- If this was to happen, it would most likely be Raptor, since it would be an Actor Allusion to the other Sentai ranger played by MAO.
- Seems to do with his older brother betraying his planet for Dark Matter. That the only way to get intel about his brother was to join them.
- Jossed: Space 8 shows that he has been part of the Rebellion.
- He could just travel down in the Shishi Voyager anyway during Mech fight time.
- Confirmed in Space 12. His Kyutama didn't roll out of the Kyulette.
- Confirmed!
- He's shown to be with Stinger most of the episode, and Skyblue is supposed to be tied to him.
- He's wearing a light blue jacket, while his younger brother is in orange.
- His civilian name is Kotaro Sakuma. Ko means small and Kuma means bear. That's just punny enough for Toei.
- It wouldn't be the first time Toei has had a Henshin Hero named Kotaro who is associated with bears - see Kotaro Nogami/New Den-O and Teddy/Neotaros. If they have Kotaro come along with Stinger (either as a passenger or a stowaway - assuming they have the team leave Earth), I'd say this one will be confirmed. So now we wait.
- It could also be that both have the role, but alternate in a way similar to the Imagin, with both sharing a body when transformed, but switching between who is in charge when changing forms (this is helped by the fact that Jiro, Kotaro's brother, is shown to be taller than Kotaro).
- You have the names reversed. Kotaro is the older, Jiro is the younger. Though otherwise the idea is a solid one. In any event, they'll be on Earth for a few episodes now, so we'll see soon. Given the toy releases, we should see both Skyblue and Ryu Commander by episode 11 or so.
- My bad. I guess it's because "Ko" means "small" that I automatically assumed that Kotaro was the younger brother.
- The constellation Ursa Minor that Koguma Skyblue represents also has Polaris a.k.a. the North Star which is extremely significant and common knowledge as a navigation aide for Earthlings and is one of the earliest relations between Earthlings and space.
- Looks like we were right! New scans show that Kotaro is indeed Skyblue!
- Confirmed! For the most part, Koguma fights barehanded, even having a hidden set of clawed gloves to slash with, but his scarf doubles as twin flail weapons when he detaches the twin ball pieces.
- I've heard that there was an Orion Voyager sound on the Seiza Changer, and considering that there have been rumors of the team ending up with 12-13 members, you could be on to something. The mech itself would probably end up being the team's final mech, given it's size, but it's not out of the question - plus, it would be a nice mythology gag to Gingaman and Goseiger
- Pre-emptively jossed. The Gokaigers didn't transform into the Go-Busters or Zyuohgers in the crossovers with those shows, and it's been established that a ranger has to give their power to the Gokaigers in order for the latter to transform into that ranger.
- Or, Armage will recall all the generals to convince the kyurangers to leave earth, preventing them from learning of it's big secret.
- Well, they are leaving the Earth soon to hunt down the Argo Navis Constellation, so the next episode or two will likely have them leave the Earth after it's liberated.
- Well, they found the Earth's big secret, Houou Soldier. Now we wait for them to liberate the planet.
- Well, they are leaving the Earth soon to hunt down the Argo Navis Constellation, so the next episode or two will likely have them leave the Earth after it's liberated.
- He's specifically mentioned to be the "Space King of Pop", much like Michael Jackson....yet we haven't seen much of him. It's almost like he's being set aside for later.
- Tying into the one above: The ranger names are all based around a moniker ending with "-Star". Michael Jackson was definitely a Pop Star.
- The last time his actor appeared in a Sentai for more than 1 episode, he was Beet Buster, and the head writer of Kyuranger wrote some of the episodes of Go-busters.
- Pre-emptively jossed. Someone would've discovered something in the toy version of Kyu the Weapon if that had happened. Plus, he's already a Bare-Fisted Monk, so giving him a unique form of Kyu the Weapon is kind of pointless.
- He ended up having his memories when he was fixed, so neither jossed nor confirmed.
- To add to the theory he will be possessed by Don Armage and serve as the last boss only to sacrifice himself to kill him for good and possibly free Cuervo
- Counter by the fact that of the two sixth rangers from Gobusters, only Beet Buster died, and none of the rangers in Gekiranger died (Rio and Mele are more akin to extra heroes, something Kyuranger does not have). Additionally, the series has already had 2 other ranger deaths (they didn't stick, but they still count), so it's possible that Tsurugi may get a "Get out of jail free" card in this department.
- And jossed - he did get possessed, but it wasn't to save Quervo; rather, Armage took him over. It's worth noting that Tsurugi did intend for the Kyurangers to finish him off, since he was dying at that time, but it seemed that Don Armage took Tsurugi's ailments with him.
- Doesn't hurt that we never saw either of Lucky's parents in the flashback, and while it's possible that the biology of Lucky's species would result in him aging slower than a normal human (meaning that he could be Orion's son), if Orion was Lucky's father, that would make Lucky tied with Balance as the oldest Kyuranger on the team.
- This is confirmed.
- The legend was that nine heroes would save the universe- it didn't say which nine. The Kyurangers thought they were surpassing the legend by making Shou a ranger, but maybe there were always supposed to be only nine heroes present at the final battle. One to three of the core nine might end up not being there.
- To address the obvious point, Anton notices first that Stinger not only came right back but changed all his clothes, leading to the reveal that he's from the future, leading Anton to surmise that future (or rather present!)Champ has also come, which is why they can skip over the initial shock.
- And then they have to make themselves scarce again as Yagyu Jubei, the Champ that elected to stay in the past after the first trip. finally shows up and finds Anton, albeit too late.
- Since Kyuranger is also based on Greeco-Roman Mythology, the Gods will aid each of the Kyuranger in order to defeat Don Armage who is becoming more powerful than ever.
- Lucky will also make a speech to Don Armage while hold his Kyu Sword similar to Leonidas did with the Persian messenger in 300.
- Balance and Naga go back to thieving... but it goes tits up immediately as they're set up in a trap and arrested by the Patorangers. Even worse, the treasure has already been swapped out for a fake... by the Lupinrangers.
- Jossed. There's no stinger showcasing either of the two teams aside from the red rangers Passing the Torch.
- Jossed. The Kyurangers aren't actually operating anywhere near Japan, or indeed Earth itself this time around. In fact, it doesn't seem as if any of them are really even human this time around.
- Jossed. They are themed after constellations and various cryptids or myths.
- One problem: The team has 11 rangers confirmed so far. Even if you count Pluto, that would leave 2 rangers without evil rivals.
- Jossed. While some are based on Greys, the rest of the villains are based on constellations or cryptids/myths.
- It's worth noting that Scorpio's monster form is based on that of the Predator, but the Predator's design was based on Adjudant Booba from Changeman, so still jossed.
- Technically speaking, the rangers are based on groupings of stars, not individual stars...
- That doesn't Joss the idea of a black hole themed villain at all.
- Their symbol is a black hole and their goal is to conquer the universe, much like how a black hole sucks up everything near it, so it's there thematically.
- Having something as a symbol =/= having something as a motif.
- Jossed by the reveal of Jark Matter.
- well there is a Saggitarius Kyutama despite Eridoran being based on that constellation, so it's likely their will be a group of Karo and/or Daikaan who come from the systems the rangers' constellations come from as their Psychorangers
- Jossed - the Daikaan are the MOTW starting with episode 2.
- Eridron, the main villain of the first episode, is noted to be the ruler of the Sagittarius system, and the curving structures on his body resemble bows, plus his weapon resembles a bow and arrow.
- Gamettsui, the next villain, looks vaguely lion-like.
- The Seiza Changer has a sound programmed for a "Dark Kyutama", and the movie-exclusive voyager has been revealed to be the Cerberus voyager. Considering that all Kyutama that give Voyagers so far have been linked to a ranger, it's likely that the movie-exclusive ranger will be an evil ranger - based on the constellation Cerberus. If they were to keep up these comparisons, it would make sense for this ranger to be navy bluenote , like Deathryuger. So, by this logic, the ranger would be "Disas-star! Cerberus Navy".
- Jossed
- Confirmed.
- Jossed. Space 35 has Minato possessed by Don Armage's clone.
- Disproved. After the events of Space 35, he rallies the inhabitants of Earth to support the Kyurangers.
- Jossed. No such member appeared.
- Jossed. He's a manifested accumulation of all the resentment people have across the galaxy.
- He did say "treat it as if it was part of me"... maybe he meant it literally. Presumably he did it so that his evil side would rise in the ranks of Jark Matter, then once the two were reunited he could use his status for good.
- Very unlikely, since Madako's regeneration seems to follow the same principle that Cell's regenerative abilities do (the user has to be killed in order to regenerate), so killing her that way would only create one of her each time she died, not to mention that it's been confirmed that Scorpio is being Killed Off for Real in episode 21.
- First off, Kukuruger is the most likely candidate to take over that role, and secondly the time that Scorpio gashed Madako's throat is the only time he could have gotten a part of her to resurrect her after that, and she re-rose from her dead body that time, so in theory both parts could have been activated at once if not for the plot.
- Episode 21 has been confirmed to be the last appearance of Scorpio, and with a few days left before the episode airs, we might as well speculate on how he'll meet his fate. So, place your guesses here.
- Scorpio uses his venom on himself, using the same Dangerous Forbidden Technique his brother used the episode before, only for Stinger to inject his own venom into Scorpio, causing Scorpio to go berserk, giving the Kyurangers the chance to defeat him.
- Scorpio opens the Argo (which has been confirmed to be revived in this episode), but doing so has the same result that the Nazis opening the ark in Raiders of the Lost Ark had on him. However, It Only Works Once, so the Kyurangers can access the ark without suffering the same consequences.
- Champ, having been given upgraded to be immune to Scorpio's venom when he was repaired, annihilates him, first ripping off his tail when Scorpio attempts to (but fails) to sting him (similar to Android 16 ripping off Cell's tail).
- Houou Soldier, the new ranger, wakes up after the Argo is revived, and Scorpio is used as The Worf Effect to show just how powerful he is.
- Lucky or Stinger re-creates Marvelous's and Basco's final battle with Scorpio taking the latter's place, complete with Lucky/Stinger stabbing himself and Scorpio in foot with the Kyu Sword to trap Scorpio, then defeating Scorpio the same way Marvelous defeated Basco.
- Jossed, he somehow managed to survive his final attack, then possessed one the fallen who was just close to death.
- Against: The Karasu Kyutama is numbered 45 and all the Change Kyutama are in sequential order (1-12).
- The Karasu Kyutama is also black, a color already taken.
- Confirmed. He survives thanks to Don Amarge.
- Jossed, since we see Armage's true form in episode 29.
- He is hiding behind a line of puppets. The one defeated by Tsurugi is just a puppet used by the real one. When something happens to the current one, he simply switches to a new model.
- Space Shogun Don Armage is only a title used by several beings through the time.
- Final answer: He barely survived Tsurugi's final attack and preserved his own life by possessing one of his comrades who's close to death. The one who was defeated by Shishi Red Orion turned out to be his duplicate.
- One of the Kyutama they have turns out to have the same powers as Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, and they use it multiple times to bring in multiple Don Armages, weaponizing Never the Selves Shall Meet.
- The Kyurangers trap almost all of the Don Armages on a planet that's dying, resulting in the planet's explosion taking the Earth with it.
- The Kyurangers create a virus that only affects Don Armage's species, and infect one of them with it, thus causing the virus to take all but one of them out.
- There Don Armage will turn himself into his Cronus form and the Olympian Gods aka Dii Consentes will fight alongside with the Kyurangers at the top of the tower.
- Kuervo is a crow, and crows represent death, while Tsurugi is a Phoenix, which is the exact opposite.
- Kuervo was constantly trying to protect Tsurugi, despite being told that an immortal doesn't need a shield. Kuervo's death is what pushed Tsurugi to convert his immortality into one final attack to seemingly kill Don Armage.
- Kuervo has constantly been reappearing even late into the series, which is an indicator that his character is not finished yet. Past Sentai have had allies that are a part of a Ranger's backstory and were used to develop them (Like Kyoryu Black's friend who was killed by Aigaron), however they were never brought up again after their story was resolved. And in the same season, Orion is never mentioned again after his death.
- During a short talk, Don Armage briefly showed his black winged true identity to Tsurugi in episode 43. He was shocked.
- In the same episode, Don Armage's voice changes to a much softer, different tone, even using the same pronoun as Kuervo (Boku)
- The Kyurangers will find out Don Armage's true identity on Planet Corvus, which is Kuervo's home planet.
- Semi-Confirmed. Don Armage was revealed to be Kuervo in Space 44, but it's unknown whether Kuervo is being controlled like Aslan or if he's made a Face–Heel Turn.
- Kuervo is implied to have low self-esteem.
- Kuervo was always trying to be Tsurugi's shield, despite the latter's immortality.
- This implies Kuervo was desperate to be seen as Tsurugi's equal or at least be as respected as his friend.
- Kuervo felt despondent over being unable to complete the trials at Kyulin Temple, similar to how Shou was in the episode.
- During their encounter on Earth in Space 45, Kuervo boasts about becoming a "savior that surpassed Tsurugi".
- Kuervo was always trying to be Tsurugi's shield, despite the latter's immortality.
- Don Armage went as far as to erase Tsurugi from history.
- Pega-san questions whether Kuervo was really his friend in Space 44.
- Tsurugi was as arrogant as ever during the original war against Don Armage. Given how insufferable he can be, it's not out of the realm of possibility that some of his comrades secretly resented him.
- Kuervo said that "none of you understand how I feel" after defeating Tsurugi in Space 45, making him come off as a bitter, overshadowed sidekick.

- Engine Sentai Go-onger
- Will introduce a pair of extra rangers who operate on a separate teamnote
- Jossed in regards to having violet as part of the duo, although there's been rumors that the team will end up with 13 members, so for all we know, the last 2 could debut this way.
- A pair of rangers whose colors are Gold and Silver join the team as the 6th and 7th members.
- Will introduce a pair of extra rangers who operate on a separate teamnote
- Samurai Sentai Shinkenger
- Shishi Red must leave the team for some reason, and is temporarily replaced by a girl who uses a red lioness representing Leo Minor.
- Not likely, since Leo is just one constellation.
- They did originally state "Leo Minor".
- Even then, Takeru was with the Shinkengers from the beginning. Lucky was the fourth to join - if they were going to pull off a plot twist like that, it would work better if it was Spada, since he was with the Kyurangers longer.
- And jossed since Leo Minor turned out to be the Kyutama for an upgraded version of Kyuren-Oh.
- Shishi Red must leave the team for some reason, and is temporarily replaced by a girl who uses a red lioness representing Leo Minor.

- Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger
- Someone's gonna be in love with Raptor, the G-rated equivalent to how AkibaRed has a robot suit fetish.
- Nothing confirmed yet, although it's hinted that Spada at least cares for Raptor more than he does about the other Kyurangers.
- Someone's gonna be in love with Raptor, the G-rated equivalent to how AkibaRed has a robot suit fetish.
- Jossed—she is instead blackmailed with her mentor being held hostage.
- The trope Superdickery exists for a reason and might be what is used for Mele, since she's the only villain in the team who was also turned into a Ranger Key in Gokaiger. Perhaps she's being a mole?
- Perhaps she's used to make a significance between her and Hammie, being two female Green rangers with Chameleon motifs. Don't you think the similar aspects were too coincidental to not utilize?
- Alternatively, since Basco is amongst the villain team, and he's known for utilizing the Extra Ranger Keys, which included Mele, before the Gokaigers claimed them, it is also probable that Basco properly 'dominates' Mele, turning her into his puppet again.
- If they bring her back, Naria will take the top off of an Enlarge Inrou, revealing a coin slot - and insert a continue medal into said slot, causing the Daikaan the Enlarge Inrou belongs too to grow three times as big, much like a Third Life in Shinkenger.
- Balance might act like Misao, feeling leftout because he is the only one who does not have any animal theme among Kyuranger and Jyuohger.
- With Stinger, an arachnid-themed ranger present, they'll address if Arthropodnote Zyumans exist - either by having one of the Zyuohgers not named Yamato or Misao asking Stinger if he's a Zyuman, or have an Insect/Arachnid Zyuman show up in person.
- Strongest Battle does have Yamato mistake Stinger for a Zyuman, though whether actual scorpion Zyumans exist isn't addressed
- One of the Zyuohgers will lampshade the fact that Yamato is a very serious red ranger, in comparison to the Idiot Hero Lucky (Yamato himself might even do this).
- If Bard (who witnessed the Kyurangers' Early-Bird Cameo in Zyuohger vs Ninninger) is present, he'll recognize the Kyurangers from their Early-Bird Cameo.
- The crossover will finally reveal if Kyuranger takes place in the shared universe or if it's an alternate universe like Power Rangers RPM.
- Well, episode 18 already revealed that Kyuranger does indeed take place in an alternate universe. How the crossover will happen is anyone's guess.
- Combining this with the "evil Rangers" trend from Gokaiger vs Go-Busters and Kyoryuger vs Go-Busters, the Kyuranger!Zyuohgers could be completely scattered but abusing their powers to become tyrants, becoming "monarchs" for real but not in the good way. Leo leads the Panthera Awesome empire, Sela leads all sea life, Tusk leads all larger mammals, Amu is stuck with Leo and trying to talk him around as a favor to Sela secretly, all lesser mammals have been enslaved and Bard is leading a resistance movement. And Yamato and Misao, never realizing their potential, are stuck on Earth as part of an underground movement harboring and moving refugees around.
- Sparda will accidentally trigger a series of events leading the two teams into fighting each other by asking Sela to help out in the kitchen.
- Alternatively, Leo will be the one to suggest the idea, but Spada ends up being the one to get on Sela's bad side by saying it's a good idea, with Sela entering just as he says the idea out loud and that he thinks it's a good one, but not hearing Leo suggest it.
- Raptor and Amu bond over the fact that their corresponding colors (Pink and White) don't have a ranger on the other teamnote .
- A Dark Kyutama turns some Moebas into shields for some Indavers to use, or some Indavers into armor for some Moebas to wear.
- Shou is mistaken for a Dragon Zyuman.
- As the Zyuohgers were almost on the receiving end of Poor Communication Kills due to Ran Ran from the Ninninger crossover, the villains will instead cause the two teams to fight by creating fake Zyuohgers, similar to the False Gaorangers from Gaoranger vs Hurricanger, who will attack the Kyurangers.
- Hoshi Minato fills the role of non-ranger ally for the Kyurangers (assuming they don't revive Orion or Big Bear for this crossover), and spends most of his time interacting with Mario Mori, and ends up being the one to witness the Early-Bird Cameo by the next Sentai team, Keisatsu Sentai Patoranger.
- Misao mistakes Garu as a relative of the Wolf Zyuman he got his powers from, and spends a good amount of time apologizing to Garu, much to the latter's confusion.
- It's possible, but Power Rangers loves giving its villains alien origins, so maybe it'll still be both rather than being exclusive.
- Maybe the video game will be alien in origin, and the one who sent it to earth is an alien, who would become the final villain. That way, they could do the flip AND have the big bad be an alien.
- Dorado Yellow, because this is the traditional colour to flip.
- She will be butchier to reflect her lack of skirt.
- Alternatively, she'll be a Human Alien from a planet where the concept of a skirt is non-existent, and only starts to wear a skirt near the end of the series.
- If human, tying into a guess about Dorado Yellow before the series aired, could be someone who absolutely despises short skirts with a passion, and chooses to wear pants, only wearing long skirts.
- She will be butchier to reflect her lack of skirt.
- Hebitsukai Silver, because serpents have somewhat feminine connotations. Plus many people theorized based on body language that Silver in the sentai was secretly a girl as well, at least until Taiki Yamazaki was confirmed to play him.
- Oushi Black:
- Civilian form is a meek, little girl, and the ranger form will be written as her power suit.
- Already jossed, this is too similar to Koguma Skyblue, who is a young boy whose second form grows him to adult height, like Justin.
- How can something that doesn't exist yet be Jossed?
- That assumes they keep Koguma Skyblue the same as his sentai counterpart - the PR counterparts of Kibaranger and Kingranger were both teenagers; Justin's sentai counterpart, Blue Racer, was an adult. Don't assume that just because a sentai ranger is a kid, his PR counterpart will be the same.
- ...I (the OP) didn't mean 'little girl' as in a child, I actually meant a young (20-something?) woman who is combat-unfit even by the standards of other women, and it shows by having her too scrawny and is short enough to fit into the huge black ranger suit.
- Civilian form will be Champ's suit reused but with udders added to her stomach.
- Civilian Power: Shooting white lasers at enemies using the udders.
- Alternate Civilian Power: Milk Dispenser.
- Civilian form is a meek, little girl, and the ranger form will be written as her power suit.
- Ookami Blue:
- Is a female werewolf without any female traits. Would reveal her gender in a casual manner, much to the surprise to the group.
- (somewhat) Born male, neutered at young age, retain female voice actress by the time he grows up.
- Koguma SkyBlue:
- A tomboy who can serve as a Distaff Expy to Justin from Turbo.
- A short, adult woman who has a bad habit of opening up her legs and crouching. This is based on the original Koguma SkyBlue's battle stance, as he is, as a ranger, is portrayed by an adult stunt woman who have to pretend that he is short.
- Shishi Red: Maybe mostly wishful thinking, but there's always the possibility that Saban would finally go for a permanent female red. There've been murmurings that a lot of people wanted to, but weren't sure if they could because of stock-footage limitations.
- Houou Soldier: More likely to happen than Shishi Red if they wanted to genderflip a Red, given that she would not arrive until later. Plus, given that there are already 3 confirmed sixth rangers, this series very well might be the first to have a female Sixth Ranger not part of a pair.
- Tenbin Gold:
- Amit Bhaumik's proposal for a Go-Busters' adaptation would've genderflipped Beet Buster, so the idea isn't completely out of left field. Since the theme is around the scales, she could go by the nickname "Lady Justice", and be a space cop (and be hinted as one of the future founding members of SPD).
- (somewhat) A robot alien with detachable genitalia, being able to change gender out of battle when situation calls for it.
Their morphing call will be "Spatial Lords, Blast Off!".
- It would make a lot more sense for the morphing call to call back to either In Space or Lost Galaxy, given that this would be the first time since LG that Power Rangers are in space.
The members will all have the following renames (Will also include names for their potential super forms, even though Shishi Red Orion's the only one that's been annouced up to now);
- Shishi Red/Shishi Red Orion -> Red Roar/Universal Leon
- Sasori Orange -> Orange Scorpion/Universal Scorpius
- Ookami Blue -> Blue Lupus/Universal Hunter
- Tenbin Gold -> Golden Balance/Universal Balance
- Or Golden Saucer/Universal Saucer, explaining the appearance of the Zord as an update on the flying saucer. It's arm form is called Saucer Shield.
- Oushi Black -> Black Strength/Universal Warrior
- Hebitsukai Silver -> Silver Serpent/Universal Serpent
- Chameleon Green -> Green Chameleon/Universal Reptile (Hey, they can't all be winners)
- Washi Pink -> Pink Feather/Universal Wings
- Kajiki Yellow -> Yellow Swordfish/Universal Swordfish
- Ryuu Commander -> Indigo King/Universal Hydra
- Koguma Sky Blue/Ohguma Sky Blue -> Brave Kuma/Universal Courage
- HoOh Soldier -> Phoenix Pyros/Universal Inferno
- Pre-emptively jossed, Power Rangers doesn't do those types of names. It's usually team name colour ranger or colour team name ranger. For example, Red Turbo ranger, Red Space Ranger. The only exceptions are Zeo (Zeo Ranger V Red) and RPM (Ranger Series Operator Red, or Ranger Red).
- Why would they change Ryuu Commander to Indigo King? There's only been 1 case I can think of where a Power Ranger is considered a different color than his Sentai Counterpart; Ryuu Commander is clearly purple; with the exception of ToQ7Gou, every sentai violet ranger is a purple ranger in Power Rangers (and in the case of the aforementioned ToQ7Gou, that's only because the series he is from was not adapted). Although what they COULD end up doing is make a Call-Back to the original MMPR and have them call the powers they use when transforming (i.e., "Red Lion Constellation Power!" "Blue Wolf Constellation Power!"), but have them referred to by color as usual.
The Voyagers will also be renamed into the "Shooting Star Zords", and will each be referred to by their individual color (i.e. "Red Shooting Star Zord", "Orange Shooting Star Zord", "Golden Shooting Star Zord", ect). The exceptions to this will be Oushi Voyager, Washi Voyager, Ryu Voyager, Koguma Voyager, Ohguma Voyager, Phoenix Voyager, and Cerberus Voyager, which will be referred to as "Power Shooting Star Zord", "Falcon Shooting Star Zord", "Draconic Shooting Star Zord", "Valor Shooting Star Zord Minor", "Valor Shooting Star Zord Major", "Ember Shooting Star Zord", and "Cerberus Shooting Star Zord" respectively. Later on, the Zords will be upgraded in order to keep up with our heroes' foes. First they will upgrade into their "V2" forms, and then later will upgrade into their "V3" forms (And as such will be referred to as "Blue Shooting Star Zord V2", "Valor Shooting Star Zord Minor V2" and "Cerberus Shooting Star Zord V2" or "Yellow Shooting Star Zord V3" and "Valor Shooting Star Zord Major V3"), until finally they upgrade into the "Nova Zords" (And as such will be referred to as "Red Nova Zord", "Green Nova Zord", "Power Nova Zord", "Draconic Nova Zord", "Ember Nova Zord", ect.).
The KyurenOh will also be renamed into the "Intergalactic Megazord", while the RyuteiOh will be renamed into the "Sky-Traveler Dracozord", and the Gigant HoOh will be renamed into the "Firyazord". As the "Shooting Star Zords" upgrade, so to will their Megazord forms upgrade with them. For the "Intergalactic Megazord", the "V2 Zords" will fuse to become the "Incredible Gigazord", the "V3 Zords" will fuse to become the "Indelible Ultrazord", and the "Nova Zords" will fuse to become the "Indomitable Univerzord". Meanwhile for the "Sky-Traveler Dracozord", the "V2 Zords" will fuse to become the "Sky-Warrior Dracozord", the "V3 Zords" will fuse to become the "Sky-Ravager Dracozord", and the "Nova Zords" will fuse to become the "Cosmic-Wyvern Dracozord". Also, for the "Firyazord", "Ember Shooting Star Zord V2" will transform into "Flamrazord", "Ember Shooting Star Zord V3" will transform into "Burnazord", and "Ember Nova Zord" wil transform into "Supernova Scorcherzord". There will also be an Evil Counterpart of the "Intergalactic Megazord" used by the villains called "Heartless Nebula Darknazord". In the final battle, it'll upgrade into it's true form, the "End of Everything Futilazord".
- Maybe they'll have the team based on Mirinoi, finally bringing us back to the planet colonized at the end of Lost Galaxy that would have been where Power Rangers Cyber Corps (Amit Bhaumik's proposal for a Go-Busters adaptation) was set. Since Saban seems to be calling back to the original era as of late, this would be PERFECT as a Lost Galaxy call-back.
- Aliens being the villains in Power Rangers is nothing new. If they were going to do that, it would make a lot more sense for it to be a minor villain from Ninja Steel who has ascended to the role of Big Bad for this season.
- Power Rangers Starlight Guardians
- Power Rangers Spatial Lords
- Power Rangers Astro Force
- Power Rangers Star Force
- Power Rangers Shooting Star
- Power Rangers Cosmic Knights
- Power Rangers Constellation League
- Power Rangers Uprising
- Power Rangers Galaxy Rebellion, Power Rangers Galactic Rebellion, Power Rangers Star Rebellion, or Power Rangers Space Rebellion
- Red Ranger:
- Leon. This matches his zord, and we already have a Leo.
- George Fang. A teenager of Chinese ancestry who has a knack for getting out of trouble.
- Chance - it's just punny enough for Saban (if they keep the Born Lucky aspect for the Red Ranger), plus it sounds like it could actually be someone's name.
- On the small chance that Red is genderflipped, Leia (sounds like Leo, plus obvious space connections) or Lucy (sounds like lucky).
- Vernon. The prince of the Lion Galaxy and brother to Crown Princess Viera (who we actually see in Power Rangers Ninja Steel). Since the Lion Galaxy's monarchic structure only allows females to inherit the throne (much like in Suikoden V), he is considered to be an unimportant character in the matriarchal monarchy. But when the galaxy is in danger, Vernon will rise up and become the leader of the rebel army (and become the de facto leader of the Rangers), much like Suikoden V's protagonist, Prince Freyjadour Falenas.
- Although I'm not opposed to the name, the only problem is that doing so would require them to have a crossover with Ninja Steel - while a lack of footage hasn't stopped them before, there haven't been any crossovers as of latenote .
- Blue Ranger:
- If Saban decided to use the animal suit, the blue ranger could hail from Cruger's planet, or even be a relative (probably his son or brother).
- Fenris "Klawz" Cruger. Fenris because it's the name of a mythological canine like Anubis from SPD. Has the nickname "Klawz" to match Cruger's nickname "Doggie".
- Wepwawet "Leap" Kruger. Wepwawet is an Egyptian Wolf deity, and the brother of the mythological Anubis. He's nicknamed "Leap" because of his tendency to jump into things without thinking.
- A hot-headed vagabond from the planet Sirius. Always itching for a fight. Is best friends with the Red Ranger. Is, or at least implied to be, the younger brother of Anubis Cruger from Power Rangers S.P.D.. Is on bad terms with his family.
- To tie in with the above: he was one of the few survivors of Grumm's attack on the planet Sirius. The survivors were scooped up by another Empire, but now they've lost their way of life and cultural identity in exchange for absolute safety. He detests how much they've lost, and how the Empire treats its people as disposable, so he decides to take a stand.
- Decomposite Character: A Human Alien who was raised by Garu's tribe from an infant, and the Don Armage massacre also happens so he's out for revenge. Bonus points if the Garu suit is shown Taking the Bullet.
- Green Ranger:
- Leone or Leona, if only to match her zord.
- Lizzie. Like the word lizard, but still a pretty normal name for American audiences.
- Mille, as a reference to Camille.
- Would that be pronounced the same as Milly? If not, they might as well call her Meal.
- Unlikely, as Rangers haven't been named after previous ones, even if they line up a lot. Tyler from Dino Charge wasn't called called Jason, Rocky, or Connor, for example.
- Why not Cammie? It sounds more natural anyway.
- Hammie's background in being a Ninja will be adapted out.
- Black Ranger:
- Bippy. This is a corruption of "bipi", the Hawaiian translation of "ox". Bippy will come from a Sci-Fi Counterpart Culture of Polynesia.
- Bullbot. Retaining Champ's civilain suit, he is a sentient bull robot.
- Ferdinand. Will be a very pacifistic ranger, with a personality somewhat similar to Danny, who only becomes a ranger because of circumstances, and will often try and talk down the Monster of the Week and avoid fighting as much as possible.
- Decomposite Character: A pro wrestler with cybernetic implants in order to take on robot opponents in the ring. The Champ suit is one of his past opponents. Professor Anton just the good side, the other one is already in the Big Bad Ensemble gets Adapted Out as a result.
- Yellow Ranger:
- Takeshi. This is the first name of the host of the original Iron Chef. He will be a Japanese cook who was abducted by an alien king to be his personal chef, who escapes and becomes a Ranger.
- As much as I like the idea of referencing a cooking show with the Yellow Ranger, this one is pre-emptively jossed due to the Unfortunate Implications. However, them referencing Iron Chef America is not out of the question - maybe perhaps Mario (as in Mario Batali), given Spada's habit of throwing around Gratuitous Italian.
- It wouldn't have the Unfortunate Implications if he isn't the only Asian guy on the team.
- Even then, there's still the fact that the last Asian Yellow ranger was Trini from the original Mighty Morphin. While it is possible that they could do this, considering that they did eventually have a African-American Black ranger after Zack, the odds are extremely unlikely.
- Takeshi. This is the first name of the host of the original Iron Chef. He will be a Japanese cook who was abducted by an alien king to be his personal chef, who escapes and becomes a Ranger.
- Gold Ranger:
- Dimas. It both an actual surname (In Spanish, Greek, and Portuguese) and is an anagram of Midas, the king from Greek mythology who could turn anything into gold. He will be a lawyer and hate being called an Amoral Attorney.
- His and the Silver Ranger's profession as thieves will be changed due to network rules. Instead, they'll be bounty hunters or a young, fallen socialite and his robot butler.
- Justice. After his scales.
- Composite Character with Hoshi Minato, being a galactic idol who makes techno music while disguising his real identity in the Balance suit (hey, it's worked before).
- Silver Ranger:
- Claudius "Claude" Frost. Claudius sounds similar to "Caduceus", a symbol associated with the Rod of Asclepius, a medical symbol of a snake coiling around a serpent. His surname Frost references his cold, emotionless personality.
- To avoid comparisons to Spock, his background and/or characterization will be changed. Though he'll still remain partners with the Gold Ranger.
- Windsor. A guy who is brutally honest and is called "Harsh Windsor" by people he upsets.
- Orange Ranger:
- Gordon. This is the first name of Sting (The musician, not the wrestler).
- Will be played by Kelson Henderson, and will be the older brother of Boom (in order to explain why he looks similar).
- Mick Kanic was also played by Kelson - and he's an alien. Would make more sense for him to be related to him.
- If they have Kelson Henderson play the orange ranger AND use the aforementioned WMG about the PR version of the Blue ranger, it would make a bit more sense to connect it to SPD than to Ninja Steel as a mythology gag. If they had him related to Mick Kanic, he might as well be another color.
- Tang Erine. A human from a Space Station where everyone has a Punny Name.
- Pink Ranger:
- Aquila, after the constellation. If she's an android, she'd likely be redesigned for a much more humanoid look (i.e. makeup instead of a suit).
- Flight. A hippy chick with feathers in her hair.
- Decomposite Character: The Raptor suit is used as a Bridge Bunny while a Human Alien gets to be the actual Ranger.
- Violet/Indigo/Dragon Ranger:
- Commander Artorius Drago. Artorius is derived from "Arthur", as in King Arthur of the Knights of the Round Table. Drago obviously comes from dragon. This gives him an impressive name that can be easily shortened into a silly nickname.
- Captain Raizin. The alien who owns the space vessel the Rangers travel in
- Decomposite Character: The Shou Ronpo suit is even higher up the command ranks while a more typical Bald of Authority is the Ranger Commander. Bonus points if the actor gets popular enough to be brought back as PR!Cmdr. Hilltop.
- Cyan/Skyblue/Aqua Rangernote :
- The nickname will be "Winnie" (As in Winnie the Pooh). If male, Winston; if female, Gwendolyn ("Winnie" is often a short form for both).
- Alternatively, as a reference to the fact that this ranger has 2 forms (a kid form and an adult form), Lang or Pymnote
- To avoid fan backlash, his civilian identity will be a midget alien instead of a kid.
- Why would they have to specify that he's a midget alien though? He's an alien already, so they could just have his race be naturally short.
- That's exactly what I meant. A short alien.
- They will be the child of one of the core 9 who ascended as a ranger when the place they're in is no longer safe.
- Crimson Rangernote :
- While unlikely, if they decide to genderflip this ranger, Flannery or Scarlett.
- Ruby could be used regardless of gender - if female, would be used for the actual name; if male, will be used for the nickname, and the real name would be Reuben.
- Will have a background somewhat similar to Eric, being a soldier before becoming a ranger (either a mercenary or someone on leave) although unlike Eric, they'll end up joining the rangers full-time.
- Was the Standardized Leader of the previous team, but is out of touch in the current era.
- Silver could be from KO-35, the same as Andros, who also had psychic powers. Alternatively, he could be related to Trip's race (Time Force). Both characters had introverted personalities, which would fit perfectly.
- Gold or Black could be former Machine Empire robots/refugees that were re-purposed following the Machine King's demise.
- Skyblue or Yellow could be from Aquitar
- Alternatively, it could be Green, as a reference to the Ninja theme of the Alien Rangers.
- At least one ranger will be from Miranoi.
- The Red ranger will be from Eltar
- The Red Ranger will be related to Zordon in some way beyond hailing from the same planet (ranging from relative to reincarnation). He would most likely be unaware of his connection to the Big Good and will begin to learn about the legacy of Zordon. It could easily explain his incredible luck: The first initial hint of the connection is the classic "May the Powers Protect you" invocation.
- Alternatively, considering the popularity of Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), they might do something similar to the cameo of Howard the Duck in that movie and have one of the rangers be from Edenoi—potentially Orange and his brother since they're arachnid-based.
- Rather than a Ranger, it could be a Ranger ally in the form of a Kamen Rider suit (either as another attempt at a Backdoor Pilot or a way to incorporate a suit that has some Sentai fight footage already filmed (though as of writing, that would only be Kamen Rider Ex-Aid which may be a little too wacky to take seriously. That doesn't mean that the Rangers won't meet Ex-Aid's successor.
- Episode 18 had a crossover with Gavan and the Dekarangers (the latter of which has a PR counterpart in the form of SPD), so it could be that they use that crossover and that leads into an adaptation of Gavan vs Dekaranger, which would finally provide resolution for VR Troopers. Alternatively, Gavan vs Dekaranger could be used as a prequel to SPD.
- Rather than a Ranger, it could be a Ranger ally in the form of a Kamen Rider suit (either as another attempt at a Backdoor Pilot or a way to incorporate a suit that has some Sentai fight footage already filmed (though as of writing, that would only be Kamen Rider Ex-Aid which may be a little too wacky to take seriously. That doesn't mean that the Rangers won't meet Ex-Aid's successor.
- Neo-Saban Power Rangers have had civilian powers, particularly Dino Charge (energems giving immortality and occasional power boost) and recently Ninja Steel (ninja star giving the blue ranger magic powers).
- I wouldn't exactly consider those Civilian Powers - in the case of Dino Charge, I'd say it's in a grey area (in my mind, Civilian Powers are unique for each member; in order for the energems to count, they would have had to, oh say, give Tyler high heat resistance or Shelby the ability to read minds), and I haven't seen Ninja Steel (and that's only one example you listed).
- Doubtful, considering the fact that they didn't do that for Power Rangers Megaforce, despite the fact that the Zangyack would have fit the bill perfectly, not to mention that Amit Bhaumik's proposal for a Go-Busters adaptation, which would have had a big callback to the Zordon Era, was not accepted.
- This time the mecha and helmets are remolded into any 'missing' constellations from Kyuranger, like maybe:
- Shishi (lion) Voyager into Hercules (leaving some lion parts to represent the Nemean Lion)
- Shishi confirmed to be remolded into Cerberus first
- Sasori (scorpion) Voyager into Cancer (crab)
- Cancer confirmed as attack ability
- Oushi (bull) Voyager into Capricorn (goat)
- Capricorn confirmed as... some pre-recorded message thing
- Chameleon Voyager into Lepus (rabbit)
- Lepus confirmed as powerup (jumping obviously)
- Washi (eagle) Voyager into Cygnus (swan), Apus (exotic bird), Pavo (peacock)
- Tenbin Voyager into Auriga (the charioteer, the dishes function as wheels)
- Auriga confirmed as form-change ability (turns Garu into a bike!)
- Hebitsukai Voyager into Perseus, Virgo
- Virgo confirmed as form-change ability (puts Garu in drag... this may be a recurring thing)
- Okami (wolf) Voyager into Monoceros (unicorn),
- Kajiki (swordfish) Voyager into Delphinus (dolphin)
- Kuma Voyager pair into Canis Major and Minor
- Ryu (dragon) Voyager into Hydra (multi headed snake)
- Shishi (lion) Voyager into Hercules (leaving some lion parts to represent the Nemean Lion)
- New Kyu the Weapon comes with different attachments that are still compatible with the normal ones.
- The axe head is replaced with an extending barrel-like weapon for added gun modes
- The blade head is replaced with an animal head-shaped blade depending on what new constellations are used, able to open and close or fold perpendicular.
- New Legend Kyutama like the Zyuohger Zyudenchi are released.
- This actually COULD happen, although odds are that Shuriken Sentai Ninninger would get a follow-up series first (since while that series did not perform as well as Kyoryuger did, it did a lot better in Korea than in Japan).
- Maybe not. They had the chance to address the Phantom Ranger in Megaforce using Akared, yet they chose not to.
- Orion is the name of the ship used by the heroes in Kyuranger. Since the series was created with American input,
- Orion was also the name of the Silver Ranger in Megaforce. They didn't do anything with the Lights of Orion in that series (not even a tongue in cheek joke). Plus, Orion already is a constellation - if this was a planet themed Sentai as opposed to a constellation themed one, then I might say you are onto something, but odds are that it's just a coincidence (since odds are that if they use the Orion at all, the name will be changed).
- Reason for this is because of how the mecha are structured - unlike other series, each ranger is in the cockpit of their own Voyager. If Saban wanted to make an armor, they would have to shoot all the cockpit footage on their own, and it would take a long time to show 5 of the rangers in armor, since there is no shared cockpit.
- Saban is capable of building their own cockpit sets, if they wanted too they could cut out the original cockpit scenes and just shoot interactions from the new one they made up.
- Saban would have their work cut out for them considering the fact that the rangers are visible from outside the Megazord. In order to introduce cockpit armor not only would they have to shoot new cockpit footage they would also have to shoot their own Megazord footage to get around that fact.
- They could just omit any footage of the cockpits shopped onto the Megazord suit (not that many of those), then make a hard zoom into the central Kyutama of each Megazord and then make the cockpit footage of all the Rangers currently forming that Megazord in the same space, with the added effect of making the combined forms look bigger.
- But that's a lot of work just for cockpit armor - there's already a lot of merchandise potential, assuming they release all the Kyutama in the US, so they wouldn't have any need to sell the cockpit armor - including cockpit armor on top of all the Kyutama, zords, and weapons might bring back negative memories of how Merchandise-Driven Power Rangers Megaforce was.

- Given the nature of the show's away team, the PR version will take the form of The Captain who hands assignments to the rangers of the away team, rather than a gambling device which might be a bit more taboo for western TV (And couldn't air on European TV at all).
- Dropping the Kyulette would make some sense, considering that if Saban did want to use it, they'd have to film original footage - while the Kyutama rolling out of the Kyulette onto the billards table could be kept, since I would imagine that the unedited shots don't have the Sentai rangers in them, but all shots of the Kyutama had Raptor spinning them (and if Dino Charge is anything to go by, while it's possible that Raptor's costume will be used, it'll likely be Demoted to Extra). Perhaps instead, the Captain could draw the Kyutama out of a hat, or the Kyutama could initially need to be charged similar to the Dino Chargers, gaining a permanent full charge once all the 9 rangers were assembled.
- Considering that Zyuranger was chosen to be adapted into Mighty Morphin partially because of the craze surrounding Jurassic Park, if Star Trek: Discovery is still airing in 2019, and the fourth Star Trek movie airs that year, it's possible that they may do this just to cash in on the hype.

- Technically speaking, Boom did become a ranger, the third Red Ninja Steel Ranger, so the added bonus isn't as significant anymore.
- Shishi Red:
- Pegasus: Dropped due to how little it has been used (At the moment, there is one episode's worth of footage). If kept, will be re-purposed as the Battlizer for the season, with different abilities.
- Taiyou and Moon: Kept, but used a very limited amount.
- Orion: Kept because of how much footage is used, but saved for the second season.
- Hebitsukai Metal: Kept, but circumstances it's obtained in are changed.
- Sasori Orange Ikkakuju Drill: Kept, but with new footage in place of Episode of Stinger to show how he'll obtain its power.
- Jossed - turned out to be impossible. JDF actually died before Power Rangers Cosmic Fury was made. However, David Yost is appearing as Billy instead!
- Not to mention that it'll most likely be made up of 2 season with about 20 episodes each, making a team 9 plus 3 more rangers cram.
- YMMV if Saban should cease the franchise after the 25th season, but as we saw with Dino Charge, they were able to spread out the rangers (they could easily spread recruiting the team out until episode 12-15), meaning that what they could do is have the first season focus on recruiting the core 9, maybe perhaps having Ryuu Commander's PR counterpart introduced at the Midseason finale, while saving the PR Counterparts of Houou Soldier and Koguma Skyblue for the second half.
- Surprisingly enough, confirmed at least until 2020 - Saban instead decided to go back and adapt Tokumei Sentai Go Busters.
- Also confirmed is Saban ceasing production of the franchise after the 25th season, as Hasbro now owns the franchise.
- Partially jossed, as they're using the zords and villains in Cosmic Fury, but created their own ranger suits, reducing the team down to 7 members.
- Jossed. The cast is Dino Fury's six rangers, plus green's girlfriend as the new orange ranger.
- With so many Rangers and a space theme, it would warrent the special occasion. It's would be a semi-sequel to SPD with the Rangers being officiers of intergalactic law, perhaps the new off-world A-Squad. There's be more space-farring ala Lost Galaxy with Earth battles taking place upon colonies designed after terran cities. Planets like KO-35 will be a must-see along with Miranoi.
- Additionally, the enemy forces will be adapted as the resurrected remnants of the Armada under a new leadership.
- Confirmed. Power Rangers Cosmic Fury is the 30th season, though it only uses the zords, like how Dairanger was adapted.
