Based on the manga by Koyoshi Nakayoshi, The Red Ranger Becomes an Adventurer in Another World follows the leader of the Kizuna 5 Super Sentai team as he finds himself trapped in a fantasy world. The new posters showcase the full Kizuna team and their Megazord, the Maximum Kizuna Kaiser.
Formed from the five individual robots of the Kizuna 5, the Maximum Kizuna Kaiser is reminiscent of the iconic Megazords from Power Rangers. The Red Ranger's machine contributes the torso, head, and upper legs, while the Blue Ranger's robot forms the wings. The Green Ranger's mecha become the arms, the Pink Zord transforms into the right foot, and the Yellow Zord becomes the left. The Maximum Kizuna Kaiser wields a giant sword, reflecting the five colors of Kizuna 5.
Despite being trapped in a fantastical realm, Kizuna Red retains his Super Sentai powers, including his robot and suit enhancements. His sci-fi abilities clash with the magic of this new world, leaving his allies astonished and perplexed. The anime adaptation, produced by Satelight, is set to premiere on January 12th, 2025.
A Must-Watch for Super Sentai Fans
The Red Ranger Becomes an Adventurer in Another World joins a recent wave of Super Sentai-inspired manga and anime. Love After World Domination and Go! Go! Loser Ranger! offer unique takes on the genre. Love After World Domination is a romance centered on a Red Ranger and a villain, while Go! Go! Loser Ranger! presents a darker, more violent interpretation of the Power Rangers formula. Super Sentai has been a fixture in Japanese media since the 1970s, naturally inspiring manga artists. Its influence can be seen in classic anime like Dragon Ball Z and Future Diary.
This anime leans into Super Sentai tropes, featuring voice actors who previously played Rangers as Kizuna Red's teammates. Kizuna Red himself embodies the typical Red Ranger: hot-headed, good-natured, and prone to dramatic poses with explosions in the background.
The manga and anime explore the implications of a Power Ranger's abilities in a fantasy world. His giant mecha and advanced technology overwhelm opponents unfamiliar with such power. The Red Ranger Becomes an Adventurer in Another World draws humor from Super Sentai clichés, playing with the inherent absurdity of the premise, a hallmark of successful Super Sentai-based anime.
