Zyuland, a world parallel to ours, is attacked by aliens, the Deathgalian. Four of its inhabitants (called Zyuman), Sera, Leo, Tusk and Amu call for help a young man from our world, Yamato. After taking human form, they all five form the Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger!
Red Ranger is Yamato; the other four are Blue, Yellow, Green and White respectively.
Head Writer - Junko Komura (secondary writer for Goseiger, Gokaiger, Akibarager, KR Wizard, KR Drive, and co-writer for Indonesian toku Satria Garuda Bima-X)

Action Director - Fukuzawa Hirofumi (main red suit actor from Gaoranger-Gokaiger sans Magiranger and Goseiger and action director since Go-Buster)
So the other four have nonhuman forms? Cool!! Wonder if we'll get to see them.
So the heroes are Zyulanders?
*jetpacks away*
*jetpacks away*
zyuland be like dino earth
Left to right:
Zyuoh Lion/Leo: Nanba Shohei
Zyuoh Eagle/Yamato: Nakao Masaki
Zyuoh Tiger/Amu: Tateishi Haruka
Zyuoh Elephant/Tusk: Watanabe Tsurugi
And instantly Blue makes the waifu list.
So most of our new Rangers are extradimential beings and aren't human to begin with? Cool beans; I'm hoping we'll see more of their true forms down the road and not just at the beginning and tail end of the show.
According to Oricon:
Zyuohgers have special abilities based on their motifs:
- Zyuoh Eagle can fly
- Zyuoh Lion and Tiger can use their sharp claws to attack
- Zyuoh Elephant can stun his enemies by stomping the ground
- Zyuoh Shark can use her fins to swim freely
The enemy for the year is going to be a group of space outlaws called Deathgarians(The gari part is most likely from the word kari/gari which means "hunt" in Japanese).
Yamato's full name is Kazakiri Yamato(風切 大和)
