Undeterred by this the American producers pressed on with a space centered concept. Toei, the production company behind Sentai, created the video game season Megaranger. Denji Sentai Megaranger – Power Rangers In Space Because they leaned into the footage as much as they did, they ended up coming out the other end and delivering some solid stories.

The use of the Alien Rangers in the final ten episodes of the season finally meant production didn’t have to shoot all their own original fights for the first time in two years.
