Super Sentai stuff

Weird, even though Super Sentai has been a part of pop culture for a lot longer, some of its shows are not yet suitable for the anglophone audience. Power Rangers is mainly different from super sentai due to its more culturally diverse characters and its use of Anglophone references. 
Galaxy Star Knights 
Ironically the first ones to appear in Super Sentai history, the Galaxy Star Knights are going to be set fifteen years after MegaForce.
LoveHeart Jackers 
Among the most interestingly costumed Power Rangers, LoveHeart Jackers are the only ones not to fight giant monsters. Funnily enough, their time was thirty years before the Mighty Morphs appeared, therefore they’d be among the originals. 
Battle Fever
Along with Electric Fighters and Sun Vulcan, Battle Fever will be first in the Marvel-Toei trilogy to get adapted into a video game. Unlike almost all power rangers, the Battle Fever team consists of multicultural people, 4 of whom are males but not Americans, except for Miss America. The costumes are also among the most humanised in history.
Electric Rangers 
One of the Ishinomori-Marvel gems, Electric Rangers would be set four years after Power Rangers SPD.  Sun Vulcan 

Being the second upcoming Power Ranger show in history to retain a Super Sentai name, Sun Vulcan is both a sequel to and a continuation of Electric Rangers. 
Hexagon 
The first Power Rangers show to feature two teams, one of delinquents and the other of police trainees. 
Goggle Rangers 
Set sixteen years before SPD and four after Hexagon, the Goggle Rangers are inventive young policemen who would save their world from the net’s most nefarious attacks. 
Techno Academy
Even though Maskman is its super Sentai counterpart, the Techno Academy is set fifteen years before the Mighty Morphs. 
BioMorphers 
Funnily enough, in super Sentai it’s long before Go Busters, but in Power Rangers it’s a few years after Beast Morphers! 
Geo Changelings
Consisting of stranded young soldiers, the Geo force finds solace in the magic of morphing into and communicating with creatures.  Train Jackers 

Children of LoveHeart Jackers, these guys have strong interest in trains and would like to fight against Wild West monsters in a time of public transport recession. 
Electric Flashers 
The first Power Rangers team in history to permanently have a double life inside and outside their birth world, they were kidnapped by the Mess Organisation for research, but got saved and then raised by some Flash aliens. 
Liveman Heroes 
One of the few in history to combine a super sentai name with another, the team consists of five members, two of whom are children of the Techno Academy’s power couple. 
Jet Force 
Two years before the ZooMan Camp, the Jet Force team consists of five bickering but mostly funny friends, who join forces together in order to save their world with avian magic from habitat loss exacerbated by an illegal logging company in the Andes. They are also the first bilingual team. Turbo Junior

Set two decades after Power Rangers Turbo, the team consists of the Blue Turbo Ranger’s protégés. They are all high school students like their super sentai counterparts. 
Five Force
Five siblings from the Talley family have had their parents killed by monsters invading the Californian heat, but got rescued by and then grew up with aliens in another world called Sidon. 
ZooMan Camp 
The ZooMan Camp consists of anthropomorphic animals in a preteen book coming to life (with human disguises), in order to surprise a birthday boy whose grandma got killed by the same logging company from Jet Force. 
Constellation Knights
The constellation Knights have nine members whose shared motif is Greek mythology. 
Fossil Force
A sequel to Dino Charge, Fossil Force’s motif is dinosaurs, even though they are also good archaeologists.
