Some new images have surfaced revealing a SUPER Combination for the Avataro Sentai DonBrothers– featuring the original five RoboTaro Mecha of Don Onitaijin combining with Don Dragoku’s own RoboGoku & RoboBolt.
The resulting fusion of Robos is known as ToraDora OniTaiJin– the most powerful technique in the DonBrothers’ arsenal to date!

It has been two years since a potential Super Sentai series on DVD was teased. However, as Saban Brands sold the entirety of the Power Rangers franchise to Hasbro – along with all their licensing contracts – the future of the Super Sentai series on DVD from Shout! Factory became clouded with doubt and uncertainty. Over the last two years, we were able to confirm that Shout! Factory wanted to continue releasing Super Sentai on DVD, meaning the future was in the hands of Hasbro.
Fast forward to today and Shout! Factory, in partnership with eOne Entertainment (whom Hasbro has transferred all the entertainment side of their business to), is pleased to announce the return of Super Sentai to DVD in North America with the upcoming release of Chikyu Sentai Fiveman!
Fans can pre-order Chikyu Sentai Fiveman: The Complete Series by clicking here. The set will release on September 6th, 2022.
We reached out to Shout! Factory regarding the possibility of future subtitled Super Sentai releases and got the following response:
“We currently have 12 Super Sentai titles in release and Fiveman will be the 13th. Our hope is that we can continue to release more.” – Melissa Boag, EVP, Kids & Family Entertainment – Shout! Factory

Some new entries have surfaced for the Avataro Sentai DonBrothers toyline!
