Shout! Factory Releasing ‘Kakuranger’ On DVD In 2016

During Shout! Factory’s Zyuranger marathon (which we’ve been tweeting along all morning!), a new promo aired advertising the next Super Sentai release: Ninja Sentai Kakuranger!

That’s right: the source material for Mighty Morphin‘s third season replacement squad Alien Rangers as well as the giant Zords — the Ninja Megazord and Shogun Megazords — will hit U.S. shores on DVD.

It’s currently unknown what the specific date will be as well as what bonus features, if any, will be included. Zyuranger had the panel that I moderated as a bonus while Dairanger was a bare bones release.

I’m very excited. Kakuranger is the series I was most hoping for when Shout! began to import the Super Sentai series. Former Ninja Warrior contestant Kane Kosugi, who also starred in DOA: Dead or Alive and Isaac Florentine’s Ninja: Shadow of a Tear plays Jiraiya, a.k.a. Ninja Black in Kakuranger. He plays a California-born ninja and speaks a ton of English in the series. I can’t wait!
