Ressha Sentai ToQger (original) (raw)

This article is about a series entry (the 38th) in the Super Sentai series.

Ressha Sentai ToQger (烈車戦隊トッキュウジャー, Ressha Sentai Tokkyūjā) is a Japanese Tokusatsu-drama and the thirty-eighth installment of Toei Company's Super Sentai Series. The series premiered on February 16, 2014, joining Kamen Rider Gaim as part of the Super Hero Time line-up after the finale of Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger. After the finale of Gaim, ToQger was joined by Kamen Rider Drive. After the finale of ToQger, Drive was joined in the Super Hero Time line-up by Shuriken Sentai Ninninger.

ToQger was skipped for a Power Rangers adaptation in favor of Ninninger. ToQger was dubbed in South Korea as Power Rangers Train Force (파워레인저 트레인포스 Pawoleinjeo Teuleinposeu).[1]

The average ratings of the series was 3.8%.[2]

Use in Power Rangers[]

ToQger was skipped by Haim Saban for a Power Rangers adaptation, with both Simon Bennett and Chip Lynn stating its reasons being its low merchandise sales in Japan. This made ToQger the first season since Chojin Sentai Jetman to not receive a Power Rangers adaptation.

Although ToQger was skipped, its villains appeared in other Power Rangers series:

• Baron Nero's costume was recycled for the character Cosmo Royale (with a new head) in Power Rangers Ninja Steel, the adaptation of Shuriken Sentai Ninninger.
• The Kuliner Robo costume cameoed as the Kuliner Monster in Echoes of Evil, an episode of Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel, which continues adapting Ninninger.
• Dark Doctor Mavro's costume served as inspiration for Scrozzle from Power Rangers Beast Morphers, the adaptation of Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters.
• Madame Noir's costume was ported over for the character Santaura's Void Queen form in Power Rangers Dino Fury, the adaptation of Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger.

To date, the ToQger suits have not been adapted into any Power Rangers media.

Synopsis[]

Five young people travel on the Rainbow Line. But they have several problems: they'll often arrive at a station only to find it's been taken over by the evil Shadow Line, they can't remember anything beyond their childhoods, and there are lost trains (Resshas) that need to be found.

Notes[]

• This season began the tradition of having a full hour TV crossover with its first Super Hero Time partner prior to the airing of the Super Hero Taisen movie during its spring break.
• The original TV broadcasts of most episodes featured an ending segment called "Everybody's Train Corner", featuring footage of trains from across Japan. However, likely due to licensing reasons, these segments were completely cut from the streaming and home video releases of the series.
• Although ToQger is the first Sentai show to be train themed , it is not the first Sentai show to utilize train themed Mecha Sentai shows like GoGoFive, Magiranger, Go-Onger, and Goseiger had train Mecha even shows preceding ToQger like Ninninger, Lupinranger VS Patranger, and Kiramager followed the same method.
• This is the first Sentai since Dairanger to have not had a Power Ranger adaptation yet while still having some of its villains and elements used in Power Rangers, notably Ninja Steel with Cosmo Royale and Dino Fury with Void Queen as both costumes originated from this season rather than the series that was adapted from (Shuriken Sentai Ninninger and Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger respectively).
  • As for why it was skipped over, it's generally assumed that it would be nigh-impossible to adapt the show for American audiences, not only because of the usage of Japanese trains but also because railfanning is being viewed as a niche hobby in the United States itself.
