Gosei Sentai Dairanger, 五星戦隊ダイレンジャー, Gosei Sentai Dairenjā, translated into English as Five-Star Squadron Dairanger, ("Dai" can be translated as "generation" or "great", and "Dairen" could be mean Thunder (could be the reason why the adapted mecha for MMPR 2 being called Thunder Megazord), but no official kanji or translation were given, and the series treated it as a meaningless proper noun.) is a Japanese tokusatsu television series. It is the seventeenth programme in the long-running Super Sentai franchise of tokusatsu programmes produced by Toei, following Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger. It was originally broadcast from February 11, 1993 to February 19, 1994.

Certain action footage from this series was used in the second season of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, however, this mostly consisted of the scenes featuring the Dairanger mecha, which were used as Zords (in this case, the Thunderzords) in Power Rangers; the hand-to-hand fight scenes were limited to Zyuranger footage and material filmed specifically for the American show. The only footage showing any of the Dairangers in the English adaptation was limited to the KibaRanger footage being used for footage involving the White Ranger in battle.

Plot

Over 8,000 years ago, the Daos civilization flourished in Southern China. The Daos Empire consisted in three tribes: Dai, Shura (ancestors of today's humanity) and Gorma who lived harmonously. However, one day the Gorma Tribe tried to take over the Empire. Thus began the war between the Gorma and the Dai Tribe. The battle continued for 5,000 years, led by the Gorma Triumvirate. The Mythical Chi Beasts appeared to oppose the Gorma, whose magical powers had increased to the point where they could turn themselves into monsters. Five Dai warriors' chi powers had increased to the point where they could control the Mythical Chi Beasts. The war ended with the disappearance of both the Dai and Gorma Tribes. In 1993, the Gorma Tribe, one of the Daos' two missing branches, revived to take over the world. To counter them, Master Kaku assembled a team of five youths with high levels of chi. They became the Dairangers of present time.

Chuuka Sentai Chinaman

In the world of Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger Season 2, Gosei Sentai Dairanger was replaced by Akibaranger as the seventeenth Super Sentai Series by a distortion in reality caused by a strong delution. Thus, the Dairangers, or atleast RyuuRanger (who became China Red), became the Chuuka Sentai Chinaman, a set of local heroes and mascots for a restaurant that exist in both reality and the Delusion World. The name comes from the rumored original name for Dairanger. Eventually, RyuuRanger gets his memory back with the help of the Akibarangers in the Delution World, and together, they defeat the monster the Akibarangers were fighting. In the real world, the distortion that caused Dairanger to become unofficial stopped, and Gosei Sentai Dairanger once again became the seventeenth Super Sentai series.

Notes

• This is the first post-Jetman Sentai team where the costumes of the core team were not used in a Power Rangers adaptation.
  • The White Ranger of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, however, is the adapted form of KibaRanger.
  • This is lampooned in Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger Season 2, with their season 2 taking Dairanger's place as the 17th Sentai.
• This is the first Sentai team to do a suitless rollcall due to losing their powers.
• This is the first Sentai team since Choushinsei Flashman to not feature a Black Ranger.
• While never fully adapted outside of costumes, Zord footage, and monster footage for PR Season 2, that season and others have had used some of the Dairanger costumes and props:
  • In Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Season 3, the Dairen-Oh and Won Tiger suits appeared in American footage.
  • In Power Rangers Lost Galaxy, the Dairangers' Aura Changer was used as the morpher for the second Magna Defender, Mike Corbett.
    • It was also rumored that the Dairanger suits were going to be used as "Ancient Rangers" that were most likely the predecessors to the Galaxy Rangers.
  • In Power Rangers Wild Force, The Gorma Emperor XV Suit was used for Master Org, which was an American-exclusive character.
• The original name for this season was supposed to be Daikenger.Ep. 2: What’s a “Kaiger”?
