New details are emerging about the 43rd Super Sentai series, Kishiryu Sentai Ryusouger!
An official logo has been released for the series, giving us the best look yet at the new suits and the full appearance of the main Mecha, Kishi RyuOh.
In addition, some extra information about the series’ collectible gimmick- the RyuSouls has been revealed. The Souls are small figures resembling dinosaur heads that can transform into medieval-knight styled figures. Each Soul unlocks a different power for the Ryusougers-along with special armor forms.
A brief story outline for the new series is also available:
“Before… There were knights who fought their archenemy ‘Druidon” using the powers of ancient dinosaurs. They were called Ryusouger. They rode their partner dinosaurs, the Kishiryu, and the days of their fierce fight using the Ryusouls that house their souls unraveled.Now, in a peaceful world, the tremendous power of the Kishiryu has been sleeping, sealed away, but Druidon’s return draws near and the time to awaken is close… Now the curtain of a never before seen Super Sentai is cut down!”
No release date has been confirmed at time of writing but if Super Sentai patterns hold, we can expect to see Kishiryu Sentai Ryusouger in late January/early February 2019! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on this remarkable new series!

Yay~ Kyoryuger Recycled!
THIS. WORRIES ME.
Certain parts look cool, but if I may let the pessimist in me talk, the fact that they just took all three dino teams with extra sprinkles of Go-onger for good measure and just grinded them all up to one pulp and repackaged it as another dino team? If this does not fly, I feel like the future of super sentai as a franchise and marketable product could be grim. Either this is the show that boosts the sales of super sentai and the franchise lives to tell anther tale or this ends up being the show that ended it all.
That said...
TO HELL WITH MY OPTIMISM FROM EARLIER ABOUT MAYBE THIS COULD BE WHAT HURRICANGER WAS TO LIVEMAN.
YOU COULD HAVE SO EASILY DONE MEDIEVAL KNIGHTS AND ACTUAL DRAGONS BUT YOU RESORT TO DINOSAURS.
ONE OF THEM IS NOT EVEN A DINOSAUR, IT IS A FRIGGIN SMILODON.
WAS IT SO HARD TO DESIGN AT THE LEAST, BUNCH OF IGUANAS WITH BAT WINGS THAT SPIT FIRE OR ICE OR WHATEVER TOLKIEN HOCUS POCUS.
KISHIRYUOH IS JUST A MASH-UP OF BAKURYU TYRANNOSAURUS AND GABUYTRA MARINATED IN THE GUTS OF RYUSEIOH AND GO-BUSTER ACE.
Okay, I'm done venting.
TLDR, Skeptical and worried, pissed that they missed the chance to use dragons insted of dinosaurs(which seems like a no-brainer), too obvious to deny that this is Kyoryuger recycled, but I will let it do its thing and then give my verdict next year. Suits look half-assed and nothing about them resembles knights, but hey, the helmets look cool.

I don't know what Toe pretend this time.
BlueSaint says
I wouldn't say we have a dinosaur theme sentai...
We have a DinoZone theme sentai!
Seriously though I think the theme is probably going to be more fossil than living dinosaur, just from how the silver is so prominent.
As for Bandai/Toei playing it safe, does anyone know how far in advance PLEX starts planning? This seems like something designed to appeal to multiple markets with a special focus on North America and South Korea. Plus kids love the heck out of dinosaurs. So I could see this whole set-up being started before Hasbro bought Power Rangers as one with the North American market in mind.
Honestly I like the designs, outside the ornate helmets the suits are a simple design which I enjoy. Sometimes the suits just get too busy, Kyuranger comes to mind as a recent example. I am also intrigued by the mini-knight gimmick of Ryu Souls and by the Lego like connection points on the mecha. Plus like I joked they look like DinoZone/Dinozaurs toys which I have always liked those designs.

Even though we've seen Dinosaurs 3 times, I always like to stay optimistic whenever a new team is announced.
I do have to say, I do like the suits, but I think that it's safe to say with all the silver that we'll either have a gold 6th with the silver on the chest or a silver 6th with the silver on the torso becoming gold.
Also, do dinosaurs hate yellow? It's my favorite ranger color and we are now back to the Kyoryuger colors. But whatever, maybe they're trying to recreate the success of it? I mean one of the mech combos is literally just Kyoryuzin (Gabutyra, Stegotchi, Dricera).
But yeah I'm still excited! Hopefully this does well cus I don't want Sentai to get canned

Again this has been my assumptions, but if someone has any resources relating to how PLEX functions I would absolutely love to read them.

OH good Lord...
Do not make the Red Ranger a hot-blooded Daigo/Takaharu clone.
I expected dragons too but it seems Toei doesn't grasp the Western Dragon form.
Make the toys freaking sell, that is all.
Other than that, I'm praying that it won't be a lackluster and underselling Sentai, or else, I'm done with Sentai.

First reaction: Dinosaurs, again?
Second reaction: Why do I even care, I'm gonna watch it anyways, they could make Penguins a theme and I would still try it. No scratch that, I would definitely watch it if they make a Penguin theme.
I just hope it's watchable. Lupat and Zyuohger weren't the best but so fun. Kyuranger was hot garbage. So if the pattern holds - carp.
