Sword and Gun in Power Rangers/Super Sentai:

  • In one episode of Power Rangers RPM, Summer takes on Tenaya with a Nitro Blaster in one hand and a Nitro Sword in the other. Given how nearly every ranger team has the core rangers carrying identical weapons, it's quite frankly surprising that this sort of thing doesn't show up more often.
  • Played straight in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger/Power Rangers Super Megaforce — each ranger carries a sword and gun. Apparently someone at Toei was keeping tabs on the RPM example above, because they start swapping weapons from the first episode - Green and Pink are better with guns, apparently, while Blue and Yellow like swords. Red favors one of each.
    • Basco ta Jolokia, the archnemesis of Gokai Red whom was not adapted into Super Megaforce, carries his own sword and gun combo, the CariBlade and the CariBlaster
  • Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger and its American counterpart Power Rangers Dino Charge: Both shows use a gun for the Transformation Trinket, with a sword as the primary sidearm. The Gold Ranger's is a wrist blaster, but he still uses a sword. Many of the Rangers use the two in differing combinations, plus they can combine into a Hand Cannon. The Purple Ranger even uses the blade as a small bayonet.
  • In Ressha Sentai ToQger, the ToQgers carry ToQ Blasters which also have a Sword Mode, and wield their own unique weapons which they can exchange by switching colors. By default, ToQ #1 uses the Red Ressha, which comes with the RailSlasher, a sword modeled after a railway track. ToQ #2 uses the Blue Ressha, which comes with the HomeTrigger, a railway station-shaped gun.
  • In Shuriken Sentai Ninninger, the Ninningers transform using the Ninja Ichibantou swords and also carry the GamaGama-Ju, guns modeled on the head of a toad.
  • In Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger, the five Zyuohgers wield the Zyuoh Busters, which has both a Sword Mode and a Gun Mode. On top of that, Zyuoh Eagle, the Red Ranger, also has the EagRiser sword.
  • In Uchu Sentai Kyuranger, the Kyurangers have a wrist-mounted Seiza Blaster as the Transformation Trinket as well as a three-piece Kyu The Weapon, which can be combined into multiple arrangements, including sword.
  • In Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger, the two eponymous Sentai both transform using the VS Changer guns. In addition, the Patrangers carry the Pat MegaBo, which can transform from a megaphone to a sword. The Sixth Ranger, who is a member of both teams as Lupin X and Patren X respectively, transforms using the X Changer, which is also a gun. On top of that, he wields the X Rod Sword.
  • Mashin Sentai Kiramager, much like Gokaiger, has a sword and gun available as weapons to the entire team, however, only Red usually uses both - with Blue and Green preferring the swords and Yellow and Pink the guns. Like in Kyoryuger, the two weapons can combine to form a Hand Cannon.
  • In Avataro Sentai Donbrothers, the five Donbrothers transform using the Donblaster guns. Don Momotaro, the Red Ranger, also wields the Zanglassword.
