Kyouryuu Sentai Zyuranger

Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger is a Japanese tokusatsu television series and the sixteenth installment in the long-running Super Sentai metaseries of superhero programs. Produced by Toei and Bandai, it aired on TV Asahi from February 21, 1992, to February 12, 1993, for a total of 50 episodes. It was the first Sentai series to feature a regular Sixth Ranger and the first to introduce sentient, living mecha, a theme that has been used frequently in the franchise ever since.

It was also the first Sentai series adapted into an installment of the American Power Rangers series. Footage from all 50 episodes was extensively used in the first season of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. The core Zyuranger costumes appeared in all three seasons of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and served as the original Power Rangers costumes. The Dragon Ranger costume was adapted as the Green Ranger’s costume and used throughout Season 1 and in early Season 2.[1] Toei’s title for the series’ international distribution is Galaxy Rangers.

Five young warriors from an ancient civilization of Dinosaur-evolved Humans (恐竜人類, Kyōryū Jinrui) awaken in the present day after 170 million years in suspended animation. Their sworn enemy, Bandora the Witch, has been inadvertently released from her magical container on Planet Nemesis by two astronauts. The five warriors, known as the Zyurangers, must summon the power of mechanical-looking deities called Guardian Beasts, each modeled after a different prehistoric beast, to protect mankind from Bandora’s evil forces. A sixth warrior, Burai the Dragon Ranger, later becomes involved in the conflict between the Zyurangers and Bandora’s forces.
