Yesterday, a clip was revealed, showing us that episode 2 of Power Rangers Super Megaforce would feature the Dairanger suits as “New Powers”.
Waiting until “The Earth Fights Back” aired on February 22, 2014 to learn the extent of the reveal, we learn that all we know of the powers is that they have “Never been seen before on Earth”, as they are not even named. Whether that means alien powers, powers from the future, or even powers from the RPM universe, we can’t say for sure, nor do we know if other previously unadapted Super Sentai series will appear on Super Megaforce. One thing we can say for sure is that it has split a lot of fans on this issue. Some have embraced the addition, some wished we would have gotten more detail, and yet others were mad that Saban added Sentai at all to the lineup. What are your thoughts? And what should the Dairanger be called?

I have to say, none of the Dairanger footage should have been used. The Dairanger suits were never used in PR despite White Ranger and the Zords being used. It’s just jarring seeing them pop up out of nowhere in PR.
On a personal, opinionated basis, I’m inclined to agree. I would feel better if Gosei had explained Star Force a bit, and while it seems that they’re trying to show rather than tell…it doesn’t show me -why-, which is a rather important point.
