The 2021 Super Sentai, Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger, debuts in a movie! Previous generations of monsters show up but team leader Zenkaiser won't let them have their way! Previous generations of Red Rangers run into battle too! Zenkaiser isn't a Red Ranger, but does that even make sense? With the power of the Machine World, he'll defeat them at Full-Force Full-Throttle!

Suit actors doing backflips while 12+ Red Rangers pose dramatically.
Production
Crunched 45 years of franchise history into 27 minutes somehow.
Acting
Kiita Komagine's chaotic enthusiasm selling the 'wait I'm not red?' bit.

Director
Shojiro Nakazawa
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Zenkaiger's theatrical debut before the TV series even aired, making it a risky gamble on audiences bonding with characters they'd never met.
The 'Red Ranger' obsession reflects Japan's traditional leadership color symbolism—Kaito's white/gold打破 (breaks) 45 years of unbroken tradition, which older fans found either refreshing or sacrilegious.
