Denji Sentai Megaranger (電磁戦隊メガレンジャー, Denji Sentai Megarenjā), translated as Electromagnetic Squadron Megaranger, was Toei Company Limited's 21st production of the Super Sentai television series. It was the footage used in the American Power Rangers in Space.

Plot

Template:Spoiler Date Kenta, a young high-school student, is the champion of an arcade video-game known as "Megaranger". When he becomes champion of the game, a company known as INET invites him to their laboratories along with his school friends and members of the Cybernetics club, Miku, Kouchiro, Chisato, and Shun. However, soon after a small tour of the INET HQ, the building comes under attack by the evil Neijireija, an evil dimensional force lead by Dr. Hinera, with plans of conquering this reality. Dr. Kubota, INET's chief, then reveals the truth to Kenta and friends: Megaranger was not a videogame, but actually a combat simulator that had been made to find the recruits to become a super fighting team to strike against the Neijirejia! While the INET HQ is ravaged and Neijirejia warrior Yugande begins destroying the base, Kubota gives Kenta and his friends special devices known as 'Digitizers'. By entering the key-code "3-3-5" and shouting "Install, Megaranger!", Kenta, Miku, Shun, Kouchiro and Chisato become the fighting team known as Denji Sentai: Megaranger.

After a brief fight against Yugande, the Megarangers are forced to retreat from the exploding INET HQ, taking off within the Galaxy Mega. Later, the evil Guirail, sent by Javious, injures Yugande in a battle with Megarangers. Dr. Hinera poisons Guirail, turning him into Mad Guirail. The Megarangers abandon the damaged Galaxy Mega and fly the Delta Mega to the INET Moonbase where INET member Yuusaku has created the Space Mega Project. The Rangers destroy Guirail with Mega Voyager, a new mecha made up of 5 different transforming/combing vehicles. Soon, Yuusaku becomes Megasilver, but at first can only fight for 2.5 minutes, although eventually he conquers time limit. Dr. Hinera then creates the evil Nejirangers, secretly draining energy from Javious the First after both Nejirangers' and Javious's destruction. Later, Dr. Hinera creates Nejirejia City. The Nejirangers are later resurrected but turned into data cards. Dr. Hinera learns the MegaRangers' identities, and Shiborena accesses INET database and locates the moonbase. Yugande gains a new, more powerful, red form with special circuit, and attacks the moonbase, forcing the main five Megarangers to flee, Yuusaku stays at the moonbase and appears to be crushed by rubble and killed in. Dr. Hinera turns into a monster form, and the Death Nejiro base transforms into Gran Nejireosu. Hinera self-destructs Gran Nejireosu, destroying Mega Voyager high above the city. However, in the end, the Megaranger defeat Hinera, and celebrate their High School graduation with Yuusaku, who amazingly survived, present.

INET Mecha

The mecha used by the Megaranger were made by the people at INET.

• Super Galaxy Mega: Combination of Galaxy Mega and Delta Mega. In this mode, the Delta Mega's Gatling Guns are positioned on the shoulders of the Super Galaxy Mega, and are three times stronger than normal. The Super Galaxy Mega's finishing attack is called the Super Galaxy Knuckle, where it fires off both of its fists like rockets to destroy the enemy. When the Super Galaxy Knuckle proved useless against Mad Guirail, a new attack was used, the Big Bang Attack. This is where the Super Galaxy Mega spun around at high speeds, then flew up into the air and finally shot down like a comet and blasted through the Mad Guirail, but still Mad Guirail survived the attack.
  • Galaxy Mega: Combination of MegaShip and MegaShuttle. The Galaxy Mega's weapons are the Mega Saber, a sword which the Galaxy Mega can perform a wide variety of attacks, Mega Shield which can protect the Galaxy Mega and enable it to safely enter Earth's atmoshpere, and Booster Rifle, a gun created from the Shuttle Booster which originally enabled for the MegaShuttle to make it into space.

  • Delta Mega: An additional mecha created by Prof. Kubota that is actived and controlled by MegaRed or MegaSilver using the Battle Raizer bracelet. Its armaments consists of its two small guns known as the Delta Laser and its two Gatling Gun arms. When the Battle Raizer is placed into the Galaxy Mega's controls it allows for the Delta Mega to combine with it to form the Super Galaxy Mega. The Delta Mega was destroyed near the finale by a powered-up Yugande, only to be rebuilt, as it reappeared in Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai to help out. The nose forms the head, the wings become the "boots", with the rear of the underside becoming the legs. Forms the helmet, chest, arms, gating guns, thrusters, leg armour, and back of Super Galaxy Mega.

• Wing Mega Voyager: When Mega Voyager combines with Mega Winger's Mega Wing, it becomes Wing Mega Voyager, which could use the Winger Spartan (the Voyager Spartan shot in midair).
  • Voyager Machines / Mega Voyager: When Mad Guirail over powered the Super Galaxy Mega, the Megarangers were forced to retreat to INET's Moonbase via the Delta Mega. It was there they obtained the Voyager Machines. Mega Voyager used the top section of Rocket Voyager 3 as its main weapon for the Voyager Spartan finishing attack. It remained as the MegaRangers' primary mecha until it was destroyed in the finale battle with Hinelar and Death Nejiros in the series finale. Aside from using Rocket Voyager 3 as a weapon, Mega Voyager has also used Galaxy Mega's Mega Saber.
    • RoVoyager-1: Piloted by MegaRed, RoVoyager-1 is a humanoid robot with two large missile batteries on its shoulders. Forms the waist and upper legs of Mega Voyager.

  • Mega Winger: Personal mecha of MegaSilver, created by Yuusaku, to which he could operate as MegaSilver. It could change from spaceship to warrior mode in phenomenal speed. It could donate its Mega Wing to Mega Voyager, transforming it into Wing Mega Voyager. Mega Winger's main weapon was the Winger Cannon, which required both hands to operate. The undercarriage forms the lower legs and the "nose" becomes the arms (the inside parts spinning to become the forearms), revealing the head.

Evil Electric Kingdom Nejirejia

The Evil Electric Kingdom Nejirejia (邪電王国ネジレジア Jaden Ōkoku Nejirejia) are invaders from another Dimension ruled by an entity called Javious. Their names and appearances are all about twisting and distorting. They are stationed in the Grand Nejiros fortress, which transformed into the giant robot Death Nejiros in the series finale.

• Javious the First (1-43): The ruler of Nejirejia, he appears only as a giant eye on the viewscreen of the Grand Nejiros. Very little is known about him, and he is killed when the last of the Nejirangers, whose life forces had been connected to his, were destroyed by the Megarangers. Upon his death, Javious was revealed to be the nucleus of Nejirejia itself which faded away upon his death. Only Javious' heart remained, which Hinelar used to power his Hinelar City.

• Dr. Hinelar (Dokutā Hinerā): Formely cybernetic scientist Dr. Samejima, Hinelar is the leader of the group under Javious. He made studies on space exploring suits and lost his beloved daughter in one of this experiments, destroying his reputation and scarring him. He later worked with Kubota on an interdimenional project, with Samejima sucked into it. He ended up in Nejirejia and became Javious' right hand man. Hinelar later ploted and successfully killed Javious through the Nejirangers, to become the new high leader of the Nejirejians. After the destruction of Javious, the nejire dimension closed making Hinelar build Hinelar City in which he intended to concentrate all mankind as data cards. Soon after Shibolena's demise and the destruciton of his City, Hinelar gained a second 'fighting' form to battle the Megarangers himself. However, the device that kept his body from warping on itself (a side effect from being in Nejirejia) was damaged and retreated into the Grand Nejiros, turning it into Death Nejiros to pilot it. When the Death Nejiros exploded during the Mega Voyager's sacrifice, Hinelar, still inside while trying to will his body from collapsing onto itself, was killed.

• Giga Guirail (30): In order to finally destroy the Megarangers, Guirail combined himself with Yugande to Giga Guirail, who wields two swords (Guirail's and Yugande's) and could fire a beam when he crossed the swords that could imprison people in large boxlike prisons. The Megarangers managed to separate them, but when the Megarangers attacked with Super Galaxy Mega, Guirail shoved Yugande front of himself to take the full attack.
  • Guirail (19-31) / Mad Guirail (31-32): He was assigned by Javious to be the new commander in Dr. Hinelar's place. Guirail used crueler methods that were different from Dr. Hinelar's, even performing unusual experiments on the Nejire Beasts. Later on, he parasited Yugande to become Giga Guirail. But when the Super Galaxy Mega used its Super Galaxy Knuckle attack, Guirail cancelled out the fusion to use Yugande as a shield to protect himself. An angry Dr. Hinelar tricked Guirail into taking the NejiGen Capsule pill that gave him tremendous power but didn't bother to tell him that it would rob him of his sanity and mind. This mutated Guirail into an insane beast called Mad Guirail who was so powerful that the Super Galaxy Mega was no match for it, having survived its new Big Bang Attack, and upon full power, only caused him to break off a piece of his body that formed into Gigire. The MegaRangers were able to escape to the INET moonbase on the Delta Mega where Yuusaku gave them the Voyager Machines. In the end, Gigire, and later Mad Guirail, were the first two to be killed by the Mega Voyager.
  • Super Warrior Yugande (1-8, 13-50): A prideful robot general created by Hinelar whom he admires and unconditionally obeys. Yugande was killed by the Galaxy Mega's Mega Flying Cutter early in the series, but then rebuilt into a stronger, slightly larger form. Later he was critically wounded when Guirail used him as a shield to protect him from the Super Galaxy Mega's Super Galaxy Knuckle. Yugande had to be modified with various mechanical implants placed on him in order to survive, and was given a better sword called the Dark Crisis. Near the finale, Yugande uses a special chip to take on a more powerful form and his current body turned red. With this new power, Yugande proved to be a difficult challenge for the Megarangers, but the Neji Reactor inside him got to a critical point and they were able to destroy him. However, not before he destroyed the Delta Mega, badly damaged the Galaxy Mega and Mega Winger and nearly destroyed the Voyager Machines when he damaged the INET moonbase.

• Shibolena (1-50): A robot modeled after Hinelar's long dead daughter. She was second in command to Hinelar on the Grand Nejiros. She was also the smart one, often coming up with plans for conquering. She was killed near the finale while protecting Yugande.

• Hizumina (Gingaman vs. Megaranger): The last of Hinelar's creations and Shibolena's "Younger Sister". She bared an uncanny resemblance to Shibolena, except she is all purple instead of all blue. She secretly wished to revive Hinelar having grown to miss him with Shibolena's memories. She was soon betrayed by the Balban, and was ultimately killed by MegaRed.

• Bibidebi: A little annoying monster that Hinelar modified to make the Nejire Beasts grow by injecting them the Enlarging Virus. He apparently died in the Grand Nejiros when it was destroyed by Mega Voyager's suicide attempt to stop Hinelar once and far all. But not before he teleported Hizumina out of the giant robot.

• King Kunekune (14): Combination of the Boss Kunekune and the Kunekune armies. Was disassembled by Galaxy Mega with the Booster Rifle.
  • Boss Kunekune (14): Leader of the Kunekune armies. Killed by Galaxy Mega with the Booster Rifle.
  • Kunekune: The Nejire grunts. Have twisted faces and wield twisted blades. Briefly invaded earth and took the form of various humans. They were revealed to be led by their own Boss Kunekune who later combined with all the other Kunekune to become a monster, King Kunekune. When Boss Kunekune was destroyed by the Galaxy Mega with the Booster Rifle, the King Kunekune disassembled and was destroyed as well. The Kunekunes survived, but have not been seen since the finale after the Grand Nejiros exploded.

• Evil Electric Squadron NejiRanger (邪電戦隊ネジレンジャー Jaden Sentai Nejirenjaa) (38-43, 48): The NejiRangers were created by Dr. Hinelar from Javious' DNA to counter to the MegaRangers. Unfortunately, the NejiRangers were impatient and wanted nothing more than to kill their Megaranger counterparts. In this way, the NejiRangers were used by Hinelar not only to kill the MegaRangers in suicide attacks, but also to kill Javious by slowly draining him of his "life energy". When badly damaged or enlarged, they transformed from into their monsterous true forms. However, the NejiRangers' urge to kill managed to keep them from passing on, as they used Hinelar's data-card machine to regain physical form and not only resume their goal, but to try to kill Hinelar for using them in the first place. But the MegaRangers managed to digitize them, preserving them as DataCards in the now destroyed Hinelar City. Hinelar found the cards soon after the city was destroyed, and sent them to where no one would ever find them.
  • NejiRed (Nejireddo) (38-43, 48) / NejiPhantom (Nejifantomu) (42-43, 48): Leader, armed with NejiSaber. True form is a fire-like monster. Killed by Super Galaxy Mega, Mega Voyager and Mega Winger, later turned into a DataCard. Once turned on Dr. Hinelar when he discovered that the NejiRangers were mere pawns in Hinelar's plans, but had his free will removed.
  • NejiBlack (Nejiburakku) (38-43) / NejiVulgar (42-43, 48): Armed with NejiRod. True form is a rock-like monster. Killed by Super Galaxy Mega, Mega Voyager and Mega Winger, later turned into a DataCard.

  • NejiYellow (Nejiierō) (38-43) / NejiSofia (42-43, 48): Armed with NejiSling. The cunning member, rival of NejiPink. Her true form is a lizard/hornet monster. Killed by Super Galaxy Mega, Mega Voyager and Mega Winger, later turned into a DataCard.
  • NejiPink (Nejipinku) (38-40) / NejiJealous (40, 48): The brutal member, armed with NejiArrow. Her true form is a plant-like beast. Killed by Mega Voyager, later turned into a DataCard.

Trivia

• The first seven episodes of Megaranger aired 17:30-17:55 on tv asahi. Upon the airing of Episode 08, it was switched to 7:30-8:00. Both were on Sundays.

• The plot to how the Megarangers get their powers is very similar to the American movie The Last Starfighter.

• One of the INET Techs would eventually become the future Sazer Tawlon of Gransazer.

• Takumi Hashimoto (Boi in Zyuranger) is a guest star in this series.

• Actor who played Mega Silver, Shigeru Kanai, also played Daisaku Katagiri/G-Stag in Toei's 1995 Metal Heroes series, Juukou B-Fighter.

• First Sentai team to have the color set of Red, Black, Blue, Yellow, Pink and Silver. This would be repeated 9 years later in 2006's Gougou Sentai Boukenger. Also, Mami Higashiyama, who played MegaPink/Ikamura Miku would play another character in Boukenger as Takaoka Kei, the mother of Takaoka Eiji, otherwise known as BoukenSilver.

• Yuusaku/MegaSilver's henshin device, the Keitaizer, was the first henshin device based off of a cell phone. Since then, many recent Sentai series (specifically, Hyakujuu Sentai GaoRanger, Mahou Sentai Magiranger, and Gougou Sentai Boukenger) and at least one Kamen Rider series (Kamen Rider Faiz) have featured heroes with cell phone-based henshin devices.

• This is the first Sentai series in which the names of one or more mecha (in this case, Mega Voyager and Mega Winger) were kept in the show's Power Rangers counterpart.
