History Trivia / TokusouSentaiDekaranger

* TheWikiRule: Covered as part of [[http://powerrangers.wikia.com/wiki/ RangerWiki]], and as an individual series on the [[http://dekaranger.wikia.com/wiki/ Dekaranger Wiki]].

** As noted on the YMMV page, originally the series was going to be called "Sirenger", but due to an eroge by [[HilariousInHindsight the name of]] ''[[Series/TokumeiSentaiGobusters Tokumei Sentai]] Sirenger'' already existing, Toei was unable to secure the copyright.

* ActorAllusion:
** In ''10 Years After'', the mike alien is played once again by Creator/IsaoSasaki (who also performs the ED of ''Dekaranger''), and the last thing he yells out is "goodbye to Earth." Which is the first line of the OP for ''Anime/UchuuSenkanYamato'', also performed by Sasaki.

* RelationshipVoiceActor: Creator/TetsuInada (Kruger) and Creator/MikaKikuchi (Umeko) voices [[Anime/TsubasaReservoirChronicle Kurogane and Mokona respctively.]] And yes, [[BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine those characters have the same relationship]].

* CashCowFranchise: The series is enjoying a ''very'' prolific life long after its end in 2005; starting with its tribute episode in ''[[Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger Gokaiger]]'', the SPD crew has gotten its own 10 Years After movie, its own crossover tie-ins with ''[[Series/MetalHeroes Space Squad]]'' (noting that all other ''Space Squad'' crossovers had been with currently airing series, but ''Dekaranger'''s was a whole twelve years after the series had ended), and a whole bunch of promotional works to promote the latter (including an appearance in ''[[Series/UchuuSentaiKyuranger Kyuranger]]''). Of course, it helps that all of the main members of the cast were still available and willing to return, a rarity in Sentai series of its age.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: One of the producers of ''Dekaranger'' reportedly tried to convince Toei to make a second series/sequel to the show. Had he been successful, ''Dekaranger'' would've been the first series since ''Series/DenshiSentaiDenziman'' to get a sequel, and the only Sentai to get a direct sequel[[note]]''Denziman'' received a semi-sequel in the form of ''Series/TaiyouSentaiSunVulcan''[[/note]].

* RomanceOnSet: On August 31, 2018, [=DekaPink=]'s actress Mika Kikuchi announced her marriage to Tomokazu Yoshida aka [=DekaBreak=].

** Such is the popularity of ''Dekaranger'' that its opening was played at the 2018 Super Hero Live -- the ''only'' opening played there for a show older than ''Gokaiger''.
