Super Mega Concerns...

Power Rangers Megaforce concluded, which means that Super Mega Force is on its way early next year! What is particularly exciting about this upcoming season is that all previous ranger powers are to be featured through the use of the "ranger keys." In other words, the current ranger team can utilize and transform into any ranger that came before them. Pretty cool huh?

This season SHOULD be one of the best, but with my knowledge of Power Rangers and my knowledge of Super Sentai's Gokaiger (the Japanese equivalent to this season), there are a few lingering questions I have.

1. Who The Hell is This Guy?!?!?!?
The ranger above shouldn't be familiar to any ranger fans. That's because he isn't a ranger! He comes from the Japanese Sentai Dairanger. With the exception of the first seasons white Ranger and the Mega Zords, Dairanger was never adapted into a Power Ranger season. Yet, the Dairanger suits keep appearing in the commercials and in some of the toy line. I'm interested to see if Dairanger is indeed adapted, but I wonder if it is too little too late.


2. A Random Color Change
The Super Megaforce team is being presented as a "power up" of sorts for the current Megaforce team. Instead of all new teenagers, we get the same group who will morph into their original powers, and then into these powers (according to what the commercial looks like). One problem: Megaforce features a black ranger while Super Megaforce features a green ranger. Whats the explanation? I'd love to know...

3. The Fate of RoboKnight
In the season finale of Megaforce, we see RoboKnight seemingly make a self sacrifice to save the other rangers. However, the ending suggests that RoboKnight was able to get away, we just don't know where. With that being said, and since we know that Gokai Silver will be adapted into the Super Megaforce Sixth Ranger, one has to wonder what the new series has in store for RoboKnight, if anything.  

These are only three of the questions I have. I'm anticipating the upcoming season, but who knows what answers it'll hold.
