Last year, Shout! Factory began releasing installments of the Super Sentai series for American Audience. This year, the second DVD set will be released stateside: Gosei Sentai Dairanger, which ran in Japan from 1993-1994.

The Mighty Morphin White Ranger’s suit originates from this show, which features a Chinese mythological motif. The mecha in this show may also be familiar to American audiences as the Thunderzords.

Shout! had this to say regarding Dairanger:

Before Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, There Was Super Sentai!

See where the worldwide phenomenon began with the original Japanese series that inspired the Power Rangers franchise!

The three Tribes of the Daos Empire — Shura, Dai and Gorma — were peaceful until the Gorma set out to conquer the planet, launching a magical war between the Gorma and Dai Tribes that lasted for 5,000 years. In the end, both civilizations were lost… until now. The evil Gorma have returned. Now, it’s up to Master Kaku to assemble a team of kids with high levels of chi to become the protectors of the Earth known as the Dairangers!

Gosei Sentai Dairanger will be released on November 10, 2015 as a 10-disc set. The release is in Japanese but will come with English subtitles. Previews are currently available through Shout! Factory’s website.
