For years rumors have run rampant about how the Dairanger suits would have been adapted into Power Rangers. We discovered the truth.
The Ranger suits of the Japanese Sentai series Dairanger are, arguably, the biggest source of rumors and speculation amongst Power Rangers fans. For those not deeply in the know about Power Rangers history, the popular kids franchise is an adaptation of a Japanese series called Super Sentai. Each year Power Rangers takes the footage of the Rangers in suit from Sentai and shoots their own unsuited sequences to create a (mostly) all-new show.
Nowadays it’s a well oiled machine. A Sentai season comes out, an English speaking team of writers and producers create a new season for Power Rangers that incorporates the suits, weapons, and pretty much everything they can use to sell toys. However, when Power Rangers first began it was a very different story.

Zordon involved with Quaser Sabers, a new power-up, and a previously unknown Ranger all could have been in Power Rangers Lost Galaxy.
Power Rangers Lost Galaxy was set to be a bold new era for the Power Rangers franchise. The first season to mostly break away from the ongoing story of the previous six seasons, Lost Galaxy had a completely fresh cast, an expensive two-part premiere episode, and a storyline that took a complete 180 away from the Japanese source material. Instead of taking any cues from the nature themed Gingaman season, Lost Galaxy instead told a space set story thanks to the success of Power Rangers in Space. The story centered on the space colony of Terra Venture attempting to find a new world for humanity.
This was going to be Power Rangers’ biggest push since the height of Mighty Morphin mania.
