Super Sentai



The Super Sentai (スーパー戦隊シリーズ Sūpā Sentai Shirīzu) are a group of powerful warriors in iconic, colorful costumes who challenge, combat, and fend off the threats of the Earth to protect it from the innocents. Led by the Gorengers, but the head being Akaranger, while AkaRed, is the spiritual essence of the entire team red and leader team altogether, who could also be considered a leader.

Formation
The Super Sentai was created and formed by the Himitsu Sentai Gorenger in 1975, the first Super Sentai which later came several more Super Sentai teams, as a total, 38 Sentai had been included in the line, each with their leaders and additional rangers.

History
The timeline of the Super Sentai is a complicated one, as there are a few Sentai teams that occur in different universes (aside from them joining the main universe Sentai), though what can only be known is that the term "Super Sentai" was developed and thought up of by AkaRed, the spiritual essence and ultimate embodiment of all leaders and red rangers of the Super Sentai, who even developed the Sentai from different universes, though it is not stated when AkaRed had thought of the history and existence of the team itself, though it would be obvious that it would be before the 1970's, possibly when the universe had been developed.

It all started in 1975, when world peace is threatened by the emergence of an international secret society known as the "Black Cross Army/Black Crusaders" Jūjigun?), the United Nations sets up an internation peace organization called "EAGLE" (EArth Guard LEague) (国際的平和組織イーグル Kokusaiteki Heiwa Soushiki Īguru) to combat the threat. This special army is distributed to various parts of the world (designated as "Blocks"). One of the largest "Blocks" is Japan.

The "Black Cross Army/Black Crusaders", fearful of this united threat against them, decides to launch a surprise attack against the Japan EAGLE Block and sends five of its most dangerous cyborg operatives to attack Japan's various EAGLE branches.

Across Japan the Black Cross Army decimates its targets, killing all those who oppose them. Yet from the ashes of these destroyed bases, five young recruits miraculously survive and vow vengeance. Given a special interlocking "key", the various survivors are summoned to snackshop "Gon", secret gateway to EAGLE Japan's main command center by Japan's EAGLE Commander Edogawa Gonpachi. There they are given special formfitting electronic battlesuits, which empower its wearer with various superhuman abilities. Edogawa tells them that they are the Secret Squadron "Gorenger", the world's best chance against the forces of the Black Cross Army. Armed with these battlesuits and other special weapons created by EAGLE scientists, they exact their revenge upon the Black Crusaders who killed their comrades and dedicate themselves to crushing the remaining forces of the Black Cross Army and its sinister leader, Black Cross Führer.

Through the success of defeating the Black Cross Army, the Gorengers kept their powers to succumb and prepare for any other army or a pounding threat to their home planet, as they were forever known as the first Super Sentai, and, arguably, the most recognizable.

Throughout Sentai history, multiple other teams have emerged from the deepest powers of Earth to fend off against other armies and enemies that would threaten the Earth, or, would threaten the home planet of where the Sentai would have came from, as not all Sentai come from Earth. This has been every Sentai's purpose, as it follows up all the way down to Shuriken Sentai Ninninger, the latest Super Sentai. Though, sometime after Kaizoku Sentai Gorenger, a Sentai base was established for the center of all Super Sentai who their leaders were the Gorengers and the head as Akaranger, and lastly, their spiritual leader with unpredictable intents, but of good spirit, AkaRed. Each team could freely do whatever they wish (of course with good intent.), living normal life, or fending off with enemies. Sometimes, the Super Sentai can encounter other teams like them who have goals like them, most notably the Kamen Riders and the Space Sherrifs, and others. Though, they do not closely make them their allies and are minor helpers, but this is mostly directed towards the Kamen Riders, who some Sentai's find allies, neutral, or even enemies, as it currently remains only a mixed bag between the two.

Structure
Each Sentai team is led by their leaders of the red rangers of their team and are allied with other Sentai's, who all the colors except for the red ranger or leader are the lowest rank while the red ranger's are at a mediate rank, although despite the each team being led by the red rangers, all of them are led by the Gorengers who have a higher rank and can command each team what to do, but the head of all Sentai's is Akaranger, who commands his team's objectives and every other Sentai, having the highest rank out of all. Some 6th rangers actually have a higher rank than the core rangers teams, even including the red ranger such as Kou. Though there are more 6th rangers that are the same rank as the red rangers/leaders, and, normally, the same rank as the core rangers except for the red ranger/leader, who would be considered co-leaders. Though there seems to be less of that. This also applies to Auxilliary Rangers or Extra Rangers, who can have a higher rank than the core team and the red ranger/leader, has the same rank as the core rangers but co-leader with the red ranger/leader, or just normally has the same rank of the core rangers except for the red rangers. Princess Shinken Red or ShinkenRed II/2 remains as an unknown rank, but has been switched over as the leader of the rangers and replacement of the original red ranger, and then the co-leader with ShinkenRed. Though, she is probably a co-leader with ShinkenRed.

There is one team that are considered more closely active to the Gorengers and AkaRed, who, have a higher rank than normal teams, but are still below the Gorengers (and Akaranger's) rank. Due to having special abilities that are considered very helpful with the team, or, are just seen as truly one to be closely associated with because of their actions and their neutral and different intents. This team is the Gokaigers.

As you've seen before, there is one ranger who is considered the true spiritual leader of all Sentai's, even Akaranger and could have the highest rank, but the ranger himself implies that he has no distinct "rank". He could be considered the true leader as Akaranger tells the Gokaigers that he's been directed and commanded by AkaRed to turn to the right path when Akaranger is in a serious draw, and not even his team could pick which side. Akaranger is also concerned with the Gokaigers, as he believe they should decide with the Akaranger's too, but Captain Marvelous with his attitude takes it as the same rank as Akaranger, which AkaRed implies to be incorrect, which leaves him confused. Practically, AkaRed could be the true leader of all teams.

Trivia

 * Not all teams are in this group, as rangers from different planets and universe exist within the team, such as Dekaranger and Kakuranger, though they can still communicate with them and sometimes, they can warp in through where the rest of the Sentai is from.
