![]() The latter of the two shows ended up being a commercial failure, which led to Ishinomori dropping the project altogether after J.A.K.Q ended. The shows featured a team of five heroes who would transform into masked heroes to fight crime around the world. It was the first show to use the term Henshin (Japanese for “Transform/Transformation”), something that the eponymous Rider would shout before transforming into a masked hero.Ī few years later, Ishinomori would go on to create what is now known as the first two Super Sentai shows, Himitsu Sentai Gorenger and J.A.K.Q Dengekitai. This reached the next step in its evolution with 1971’s Kamen Rider, created by the late Shotaro Ishinomori. With origins in Japanese kabuki theatre, the first real progenitor of the genre was in 1957’s Super Giant, which brought forth a boom in interest in masked hero stories to Japan. Sentai (Japanese for “Squadron”) is a subgenre of the Japanese tokusatsu (“Special Filming”) genre. You can’t talk about the history of Power Rangers without talking about the history of Super Sentai first. With the Boom Studios comics adaptation of the series having recently relaunched with two new #1s and my own impromptu revisit-for-nostalgia-turned-series-rewatch, I must ask: what’s the secret sauce to making a season of Power Rangers? What common themes and episode archetypes do each new season have? With comics taking a recent bent into tokusatsu subgenres ( Ultramega with kyodai, Radiant Black with henshin), what should someone looking to make their own sentai analogue look out for?
