Some things I want to clear up with MMPR + Sentai
Admin Note: I manually ported these posts over from another board since I found the thread interesting enough so I thought it'd be a nice topic to discuss on. Now that's the end of my note.
Ok, so I'm well aware PR uses sentai footage but when it comes to MMPR and it's use of sentai, I get a little confused because their seasons don't correspond. So here's what I believe, and correct me if i'm wrong (I'm sure I am) MMPR season 1 uses most of the footage from Zyuranger. 60 episodes, how could you not? MMPR season 2 uses mainly original unmorphed footage, some extra zyuranger footage, and some dairanger footage (only white ranger fights?) and uses only dairanger zord footage MMPR season 3 uses mostly/all original unmorphed footage & ninjas and uses only kakuranger zord footage MMAR uses only kakuranger footage And of course PR fills in the holes with their own morphed footage as well Is this correct? |

This site http://sirstack.db-destiny.net/morphylogeny/main.htm will help you a lot, it tells you where the footage was taken from in each episode, including Power Rangers stock footage |

Re: Some things I want to clear up with MMPR + Sentai
Day of the Dumpster through to Doomsday is Zyuranger. There's a couple of episodes with recycled footage, and one with a previously unused Dora Monster, and then they start using the Zyu2 footage, which lasts until Green No More in season 2. The zord scenes from The Mutiny onwards were replaced with Dairanger footage, causing the monsters to never be in the same shot as the Thunder Megazord, since the footage was originally using Megazord, Dragonzord and/or Ultrazord. Missing Green through to Blue Ranger Gone Bad is Dairanger, with almost all ground fights either using the same splicing previously used for Megazord fights, or totally refilmed. A Friend in Need is US footage combined with a Kamen Rider Black RX episode. Ninja Quest part 1 is spliced from Zyu, Dai and Kakuranger. The Thunderzord destruction is US footage. Part 2, with no morphed scenes, is all US. Part 3 onwards is a mix of Kakuranger and original footage.

Re: Some things I want to clear up with MMPR + Sentai
Ok, thanks for clearing that up
One more question though. I'm just reading this off PR wiki so I don't know the full context, but how was titanus (whom I believe was exclusive to Zyuranger) able to combine with the ninjazord and shogunzord in those MMPR 3 episodes? |

Re: Some things I want to clear up with MMPR + Sentai
A couple of quick questions on this matter.
1) Was every ground battle scene featuring Kibaranger alongside the Zyurangers produced in the United States? 2) If the answer to question 1 is yes, then can we assume that the rangers and villians never appeared in the same frame shot? |

Re: Some things I want to clear up with MMPR + Sentai
That logic makes no sense to me. Yes, every scene of the White Ranger-led Power Rangers together is American exclusive, but a bunch of Dairanger monsters had US fights staged against them. It's not like EVERY monster fight in the second season was as "we clearly do not have this suit ourselves" as Photomare.

So then they got American actors into the costumes in order to the stage the fight... I mean, that does make more sense.
