Dinosaur Squadron Zyuranger (1992–1993)

The REAL show of Power Rangers

[10/10 · 22 July 2006]

This is the original Super Sentai counterpart of the Power Rangers. Having watched some of the episodes, I have to say this is FAR better than the Power Rangers in terms of plot and depth. If you want to know what the first season of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was based on, this is it. Unlike in the Americanized version, this version is for more mature audiences as death and tragedy occurs. For instance, in Power Rangers the Green Ranger loses his powers, but later comes back as the White Ranger. In ZyuRanger however, the Dragon Ranger (yes, that's what he's called) dies as a result of his life candle extinguishing. And he simply passes it on to his brother, the Tyranno Ranger (Red Ranger in America). ZyuRanger is definitely worth a shot at looking if you can find a copy of the Japanese-only footage.
