==Series overview==
{{More citations needed section|date=July 2015}}
In every ''Super Sentai'' series, the protagonists are a team of people who – using either wrist-worn or hand-held devices – transform into superheroes and gain superpowers – color-coded uniforms, [[signature weapon]]s, sidearms, and fighting skills – to battle a group of otherworldly supervillains that threaten to take over the Earth. In a typical episode, the heroes thwart the enemies' plans and defeat an army of enemy soldiers and the [[Villain of the week|monster of the week]] before an enlarged version of the monster confronts them, only to be defeated once again when the heroes fight it with their [[mecha]]. Each ''Super Sentai'' is set within its own [[fictional universe]]; various TV, video, and film specials feature a team-up among two or more teams. 

It is common for teams to announce their names and titles both prior to and after transforming, often referred to as a "roll call". This is inspired by ''[[Shiranami Gonin Otoko]]'', a [[kabuki]] play first performed in 1862. Elements of kabuki were carried over into 20th century television with the [[jidaigeki]] genre.{{Sfn|25MB 1|2002|pp=12-13}} Kazutoshi Takahashi, a stunt coordinator of ''[[Himitsu Sentai Gorenger]]'', is credited with introducing the roll call to the first Super Sentai.{{Sfn|Joshiki|2012|p=164}}

==Production==
{{Overly detailed|section|date=November 2025}}
The first two ''Super Sentai'' series were created by [[Shotaro Ishinomori]], then known for the 1971–1973 ''[[Kamen Rider (1971 TV series)|Kamen Rider]]'' TV series and the long-running manga ''[[Cyborg 009]]''. He developed ''[[Himitsu Sentai Gorenger]]'', which ran from 1975 to 1977, and ''[[J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai]]'', which released in 1977. [[Toei Company|Toei]] put the franchise on hiatus in 1978, collaborating with [[Marvel Comics]] to produce a live-action ''[[Spider-Man (Japanese TV series)|Spider-Man]]'' series, which is regarded as the introduction of giant robots to tokusatsu hero shows. This concept was carried over to Toei and Marvel's next co-produced series, ''[[Battle Fever J]]'' in 1979, which was originally developed as a series based around [[Captain America]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Whitbrook |first=James |date=2014-09-29 |title=The Secret History between Marvel and Super Sentai Shows |url=https://gizmodo.com/the-secret-history-between-marvel-and-super-sentai-show-1640301199 |access-date=2025-10-31 |website=Gizmodo |language=en-US}}</ref> The next two series, ''[[Denshi Sentai Denjiman]]'' and ''[[Taiyo Sentai Sun Vulcan]]'', were also considered co-productions, with the remainder of the series has been solely produced by [[Toei Company]].{{citation needed|date=October 2025}}

One of the earliest uses of the name ''Super Sentai'' to refer to the franchise was published in the ''Super Sentai Zukan'', a series encyclopedia published by [[Tokuma Shoten]] in 1981 during the airing of ''Taiyo Sentai Sun Vulcan''.<ref>{{Cite web |title=スーパー戦隊シリーズの第一作 |url=https://hccweb.bai.ne.jp/~hci59301/sheroine/sentai/first.htm |access-date=2025-10-31 |website=hccweb.bai.ne.jp}}</ref> It has been widely debated which Toei tokusatsu series could be considered a ''Super Sentai'' series. Whilst the first episode of [[Kousoku Sentai Turboranger|''Kousoku Sentai Turboranger'']], which celebrated the alleged first ten teams, excluded the original two Ishinomori series and recognised ''Battle Fever J'' as the first, earlier releases such as the 1981 ''Super Sentai Zukan'' included them. Several early ''Super Sentai'' releases such as guidebooks and soundtrack collections have also included [[Ninja Captor|''Ninja Captor'']], ''[[Kikaider]]'', [[Daitetsujin 17|''Daitetsujin 17'']], [[Space Sheriff Gavan|''Space Sheriff Gavan'']], and others despite having no established links to ''Super Sentai''.<ref>{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5jGiWGyPvs |title=スーパー戦隊バンバラバン |date=2023-07-31 |last=こおろぎ'73 - Topic |access-date=2025-10-31 |via=YouTube}}</ref> In 1993, the name ''Super Century All Sentai'' was introduced during the airing of [[Gosei Sentai Dairanger|''Gosei Sentai Dairanger'']], recognising the two Ishinomori series and the ''Super Sentai'' series under one banner.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The ultimate super-century all Sentai Super Encyclopedia (TV Magazine Deluxe) (1993) ISBN: 4063042898 [Japanese Import] - Unknown Author: 9784063042894 - AbeBooks |url=https://www.abebooks.com/9784063042894/ultimate-super-century-Sentai-Super-Encyclopedia-4063042898/plp |access-date=2025-10-31 |website=www.abebooks.com |language=en}}</ref> During the airing of [[Mirai Sentai Timeranger|''Mirai Sentai Timeranger'']] in 2000, the franchise was officially rebranded as ''Super Sentai Series'', with ''Himitsu Sentai Gorenger'' and ''J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai'' being formally classified under ''Super Sentai.''{{citation needed|date=October 2025}}

Multiple spin-off series have also been produced that exist outside of the main continuity, but using familiar elements and concepts. [[Unofficial Sentai Akibaranger|''Unofficial Sentai Akibaranger'']], a parody series produced by Toei and airing on [[BS Asahi]], ran for two seasons between 2012 and 2013.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-11-05 |title=Toei's Sentai Akibaranger Parody Gets 2nd Season |url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2013-01-11/toei-sentai-akibaranger-parody-gets-2nd-season |access-date=2025-11-06 |website=Anime News Network |language=en}}</ref> In 2021, ''The High School Heroes'' mini-series aired on TV Asahi, starring [[Johnny's Entertainment]] unit Bishounen.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-07-13 |title=The High School Heroes: Drama Overview and Cast Remarks |url=https://tokusatsunetwork.com/2021/07/the-high-school-heroes-drama-overview-and-cast-remarks/ |access-date=2025-11-06 |website=The Tokusatsu Network |language=en-US}}</ref> Both productions are set in world where ''Super Sentai'' exists as a television series, with the protagonists being fans who became heroes themselves. They also feature [[Cameo appearance|cameo appearances]] by characters from the main series, but characters originating from the spin-offs have not been included in the main series or any official line-ups.

On 30 October 2025, a report from [[Kyodo News]] stated that ''Super Sentai'' would come to an end with the finale of ''[[No.1 Sentai Gozyuger]]''.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Hodgkins |first=Crystalyn |date=2025-10-30 |title=Kyodo: Super Sentai Series to End With Currently Airing No.1 Sentai Gozyuger Show |url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2025-10-30/kyodo-super-sentai-series-to-end-with-currently-airing-no.1-sentai-gozyuger-show/.230473 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20251030155604/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2025-10-30/kyodo-super-sentai-series-to-end-with-currently-airing-no.1-sentai-gozyuger-show/.230473 |archive-date=2025-10-30 |access-date=2025-10-30 |work=[[Anime News Network]]}}</ref> No official statements have yet been made by [[TV Asahi]] or Toei.
