Time Travel

This article is about a concept in the Super Sentai and Power Rangers franchises.

Time Travel is the process of travelling through time which features in many Power Rangers and Super Sentai seasons.

Methods (Power Rangers)

Time Force technology

The technology of the year 3001 has advanced to the point of time travel being available, but it is limited. After Ransik and his forces travel back a thousand years from a jailbreak, four members use the technology to pursue him and likewise use Time Force vehicles summoned from the future to fight him in the past and prevent any temporal damage.

SPD technology

A division of Space Patrol Delta in the future has gained the technology of time travel, but it is rather limited in only sending across an officer and reducing them to a ball of light outside the usage of their SPD powers. This was the means by which Sam, the Omega Ranger, assisted the SPD in their fight against Omni.

Other Cases (Power Rangers)

• The Wizard of Deception's magic wand was capable of sending people back in time. He sent the five-man Mighty Morphin Power Ranger team to colonial Angel Grove, turning a trio of rats into monsters to deal with them. Tommy Oliver took his wand and traveled to the past along with his clone Tom Oliver. After rescuing the other Rangers, Tommy returned to the present with his team while Tom stayed in the past.

Methods (Super Sentai)

Tokimura Time Machine

In Choushinsei Flashman, Doctor Tokimura invented a time machine which he hoped to use to travel back twenty years to find out the identity of his abducted child. Initially this machine ends up missing its target two consecutive times and instead sending him to the time of the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. When its used near the end, it in conjunction with the time-manipulating power of Leh Wanda instead throws the Flashman through a rift where the identity is ultimately discovered before the team is thrown back to present day.

Time Protection Bureau technology

The technology of the year 3000 in Mirai Sentai Timeranger has allowed for the means of beings to travel to the past; but it has become limited due to crimes committed in the past, many of which affect the future. Usually ships that travel through time go through a portal after being hit by Providus, a mecha launcher, sending them to the intended temporal period. All Timeranger mecha were sent to the past at this time.

Likewise, the Greater Power of the Timerangers, GoZyuDrill, is used by Gokaiger member Gai Ikari (Gokai Silver), sent through time through TPB technology to assist him. The system data of GoZyuDrill was later used by Masato Jin to modify the Go-Busters' Buster Machines to allow them to take temporary trips to several points in the past to recover the Phantom Ranger Keys and their lost in time teammates, as well as the Gokaigers.

Horologium Kyutama

The Horologium Kyutama equips the Orion Spaceship with time travel capabilities. The Kyurangers use this to travel back in time.
