Mirai Sentai Timeranger (未来戦隊タイムレンジャー Mirai Sentai Taimurenjā), translated into English as Future Squadron Timeranger, was a Japanese television series which aired in 2000. Its motif revolves around time and time travel. It was the 24th series in Toei's Super Sentai franchise. It joined Kamen Rider KuugaIcon-crosswiki. The footage from this series was used in the Power Rangers Time Force. On April 5, 2018, it was announced that Shout! Factory had licensed Timeranger for release on DVD in North America. The series was released on July 31, 2018.

The average ratings of the series was 7.1%.[1]

The series' catchphrase is: "Grasp the infinite future!"

Plot[]

"Together, four people from the year 3000 and a man from our time write a new chapter in history...."
―Opening narration[src]

In the 30th century, time travel becomes illegal after a time paradox crisis. The Time Protection Department is established to watch for and stop time crimes. Four new enlistee cadets of the TPD are tricked by Don Dolnero and his gang into letting them time-travel to the 20th century to commit various crimes. To protect history, the four cadets pursue them. There they encounter a severe problem: the Timeranger program requires five members for the first operation. They thus coerce a present-day martial artist, Tatsuya Asami, to join them, allowing them to become the Timerangers. Afterwards Tatsuya rents a building for them to live in and they start a small odd jobs business called Tomorrow Research to financially support themselves.

Over time, the four cadets begin to realize that their presence would inevitably change the future in the form of the City Guardians, a security force under the employment of the Asami Corporation to protect the city from the Londerz. The City Guardians gain a tenuous relationship with the Timerangers, especially when Tatsuya's old rival Naoto Takizawa becomes TimeFire and later the City Guardians' Captain. In the series finale, the Timerangers go back to their regular lives. A year later, Tatsuya is jogging when he sees five people who resemble the other Timerangers (including Naoto), but soon realizes it isn't them.

Notes[]

  • Since the premiere of Timeranger, the Sentai Series would once again regain its branding as the Super Sentai Series, discarding the Super Century All Sentai naming that was used throughout the later half of the 1990s.
    • With that, this would also be the first season to feature the official Super Sentai logo at the beginning of each episode.
  • This is the only series where the opening theme song does not have a final line with the name of the team.
  • This is the only series where the heroes capture the monsters rather than destroying them.
  • This is the first series with only a female singer for the opening theme song.
  • The first season to have a Sixth Ranger that wears red.
  • This is the last season to be produced in the 20th century.
  • This is the first season to air alongside a Kamen Rider season on the same network, that being Kamen Rider Kuuga and the first 3 episodes of Kamen Rider Agito. This practise with future seasons would later become the block known as Super Hero Time starting with Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger and Kamen Rider 555 in 2003.
