It seems Toei has a SECOND Super Sentai reunion project in the works!
A new movie has been announced celebrating the 20th anniversary of Bakuryu Sentai AbaRanger! Titled Bakuryu Sentai Abaranger 20th: Unforgivable Abare this project will see the Abarangers fight again after 20 years in a world that no longer recognizes their heroic actions. To defeat their newest foe, AbaRed will be given an amazing new power- transforming him into Cho Abare Max!
All five AbaRanger actors are returning for this project:
*Koichiro Nishi/ AbaRed
*Sho Tomita/ AbareBlue
*Aiko Ito/ AbareYellow
*Kaoru Abe/ AbareBlack
*Koutaro Tanaka/ AbareKiller
In addition, series head writer Naruhisa Arakawa is returning to pen the project.
To coincide with this release, Premium Bandai will be releasing a Memorial Edition of the main henshin device: the DinoBrace! The home video release of this special will include a unique Bakuryu Plate based on the new Cho Abare Max form.
Bakuryu Sentai Abaranger 20th: Unforgivable Abare will receive a limited theatrical release in 2023 with a home release scheduled for March 27 2024!
One 20 Years After? No, TWO 20 Years After! (Vampire laugh)

I like this upgrade form better than the Hurricanger one even though I understand the theme behind both
Wow two years for the blu ray and few months earlier for the movie in theater. They manage to convince yellow to come out of her retirement like gokaipink actress. She didn’t even appear in the gobuster Dino movie. The upgrade form is simple and colorful. On the other hand, Hurricane red upgrade made sense given what he’s base on. Looks like lion maru, but it looks more fun, so they might retcon new shurikenger.
Staff List:
Original Concept: Saburo Yatsude
Director: Hisashi Kimura
Screenplay: Naruhisa Arakawa
WOW. This was completely unexpected. So happy to see the whole gang back together again.
On one hand, every anniversary movie I've ever watched has been mediocre at best.
On the other hand, this is Abaranger! They can't screw this up.
As mentioned by VoidinToku, it's surprising how Ito came out of her retirement for this. Doctor Nakadai is back from his reign over Hell again, not sure if it's permanent this time or merely a vacation. And Asuka's and Mahoro's daughter would be an adult now, so I wonder if someone will get cast to portray her. Is Yatsudenwani going to appear since becoming Suke's successor to Dino Curry? Lots of intriguing speculation here.
Nice! I already like the new form!
Missing at least one character though: Mai.
She'd be an adult by now; would she get her own powers?
Hope we get Dekaranger and Magiranger.
She'd be an adult by now; would she get her own powers?
Personally, I'm disappointed there's no news about a Gobusters anniversary, considering how the actors basically live in Toei's pocket.
Very curious to see the price for the memorial changer... I don't normally buy sentai changers, but I've always loved this one tbh
