Gosei Sentai Dairanger fast track watch list



As usual, I made a list of the key/most important episodes to watch from an individual sentai series/season.  This time for Gosei Sentai Dairanger which was loosely adapted to Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Season 2. Saban only used The White Ranger, the monster giant footage, and the "bomb" as a method of growing the monster of the week.

These episodes that I'm about to list are important because they either introduce a mecha, ally, villain, death of a villain, a new weapon, a new powerup, new ranger, or important backstory for the show.

Of 50 episodes overall, we cut them down to 41 episodes. Of the MMPR 3 season adaptions, this is the Sentai with less filler episodes.
