All 105 episodes and three O.V.A. releases will be included in the special DVD & BluRay box sets. At the moment price is not available but release date is estimated for October.
While not a Tokusatsu, seeing as this is an animated series, the show has been related many times over to the Super Sentai franchise. And a live action film starring several tokusatsu alumni, not least of which being Tori Matsuzaka (Shinken Red), will be released later this year!
