I thought it was unusual because the name of the “Number One Sentai Gojyuger ” series that was currently airing put the 50th anniversary in the foreground, but perhaps the production side felt that this was a good time for the series to come to an end. The end of the “Super Sentai” series was suddenly reported on the night of October 30. The series had been aired for 50 years on the TV Asahi network and was loved by many children. The shock of the news was so great that many on the Internet wondered, “Then what should children watch in the morning? This is a very important program that nurtures actors over the course of a year. I hope it continues even if the TV station changes.” “I really hope it doesn’t end, I’m sad. The Super Sentai series, which began with “Secret Sentai Goranger” in 1975, is one of Japan’s representative tokusatsu hero works, and 49 works have been produced in the past 50 years. Since the 2000s, the series has produced many up-and-coming actors, including Tori Matsuzaka of “Samurai Sentai Shinkenger,” Ryo Ryusei of “Jyuden Sentai Kyoryuger,” and Jun Shizon and Ryusei Yokohama of “Ressha Sentai Tokkyujar,” and has established itself as a “gateway to success for young actors. It has developed a variety of themes such as science fiction, ninja, animals, and space for each era, and has gained support not only from children but also from the adult generation,” said a sports newspaper reporter.
Production of a new program has already begun.
The current “Number One Sentai Gojyuger” is likely to be the last in the Sentai series. The question is whether a successor program will be produced, but it seems that the production team for a new show has already begun work. It is said that the team will not change the axis of “tokusatsu heroes,” but will drastically change the story and characters. They are aiming to start airing the show in February next year, right after “GODUJAR,” which is currently airing, comes to an end, and they have already started auditions.
