00:00Super Sentai born in Japan
00:30This is a special effects program, but it is a superhero program based on Gorenger, which aired for two years from 1975.
00:40What solidified its position around the world was the birth of Power Rangers in 1993, which was an English localization of the Japanese Super Sentai series.
00:55A distinctive feature of the Power Rangers localization is that the drama parts were re-shot using American actors.
01:03The special effects and battle scenes were almost identical to those in the Japanese version.
01:09It incorporates elements of American slapstick comedy, with the drama adapted to high school.
01:17Since then, three Power Rangers movies have been produced and screened around the world.
01:25This Sentai series has been localized in many countries.
01:31For example, in Thailand there are local heroes called Sports Rangers.
01:37In addition, many countries have aired Japanese Sentai shows as they are and have been huge hits.
01:45In France, the 1985 film Choudenshi Bioman
01:50In Brazil, the 1988 series Dengeki Sentai Changeman became popular.
01:59The commercial success of Sentai series overseas seems to be questionable.
02:06The Sentai series that became a global hit was not produced purely in Japan.
02:13It's like the American Power Rangers.
02:16The intellectual property rights are also held by an American company.
02:20As a result, Japanese companies such as Toei and Bandai were limited in their commercial profits.
02:29On the other hand, the Super Sentai is a new type of hero in Japan.
02:36Its cultural success in spreading it around the world was enormous.
02:41In particular, teamwork, which is one of the characteristics of heroes,
02:47This changed the image of individual heroes such as Superman and Spider-Man.
02:55Super Sentai fights as a team, even when they can't do it alone.
03:01The image of a victorious hero was refreshing.
03:06Also, unlike previous hero works,
03:11First, the first half is a battle scene between the hero and the enemy.
03:15The second half of the game also saw a robot battle, which became popular.
03:21It was an indispensable element
03:23After that, the hero plus robot battle format was
03:28It has spread all over the world
03:31In addition, the enemy's setting was unique to Japan.
03:36American and other Western heroes fight against specific enemies.
03:42Japanese heroes, with the exception of the executives, fight different enemies and monsters each time.
03:48There are many variations regarding the enemies and monsters.
03:53The character designs were also very unique.
03:57And there are three rules of Sentai that have become established overseas as well:
04:05The first one is the transformation scene.
04:09In this transformation scene, you will transform from a human into a hero.
04:14There are various transformation scenes
04:18There are transformation scenes using CG from the old days to the current days.
04:24This transformation scene is the same every time
04:29The children will gradually learn about each member.
04:34The second, as I mentioned earlier, is the arrival of robots.
04:39Appears at the climax of each episode
04:43The team worked together to operate the robot.
04:47Engage in fierce battles with giant robots and monsters
04:52This robot again
04:55The vehicles piloted by each member will combine and appear.
04:59Here, mecha that represent the characteristics of each member are used.
05:04And thirdly, the characteristics of the team.
05:09For example, Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger is a pirate
05:14Ninja Sentai Kakuranger is the Ninja Dinosaur Sentai
05:19Beast Rangers include dinosaurs.
05:22Heroes, monsters, robots, etc. are set according to this theme.
05:28Even though half a century has passed since the first Gorenger
05:34The core part of the Sentai series is
05:37It has been passed down not only in Japan but also overseas.
05:42As globalization continues to advance
05:45Japan's first hero of justice
05:48It is a source of pride for Japan that they are active all over the world.
05:52And in the future, I will continue to write about this Sentai
05:56Hoping for further development
05:58That's all for now
06:00See you again soon
06:02Goodbye
06:12Thank you for watching
06:19Thank you for watching
