List of Super Sentai television shows in order

By Alex Wiggan

In 1975, live-action Japanese show, Himitsu Sentai Gorenger, hit television screens. The series followed the story of a team of super heroes, who are recruited by the Earth Guard League (EAGLE), to battle the Black Cross Army.

Between 1975 and 1977, 84 episodes of Gorenger were broadcast, much to the delight of young audiences. And due to the popularity of the show, when Gorenger finally ended, it was soon accompanied by additional series, which followed in its footsteps.

Gorenger and all these subsequent shows became collectively known as Super Sentai – a term used to describe Japanese super hero shows. These shows have remained in production every year since Gorenger first hit television screens, and have become very, very, successful in the process.

But how many Super Sentai series are there? For all the details, keep on reading.

What is the connection between the Power Rangers and the Super Sentai shows?

In 1993, footage from Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger (the 16th entry in the Super Sentai series), was used to form the basis of a new show designed specifically for Western audiences. Various scenes from Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger (super-hero shots, monster fights, etc), were spliced together with newly filmed footage of US actors, to create the children’s programme, Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers.

All scenes featuring the original Japanese actors were removed, storylines were re-written, and the new US cast took centre stage. For all intents and purposes, what remained (and took its place) became an entirely new show, even though it reused plenty of material from its Japanese counterpart, and Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers became a huge hit!

Due to the overwhelming popularity of Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers, this process of re-using and repackaging footage from Super Sentai shows was seen as a fruitful endeavour. As such, every Power Rangers series moving forward took existing footage from Super Sentai shows, in order to create new Power Ranger programming for Western audiences.
