Plot[]

Scientists believe that 65,000,000 years ago, a meteorite's crash on Earth killed off the dinosaurs, but in truth, it split Earth into two parallel universes: The Earth we know is referred to as "Another Earth" by the residents of the Earth where dinosaurs were still the superior species, Dino Earth. Overtime, the humanoid Ryujin (dinosaur people) and Bakuryu (mechanical dinosaur) races came into being on DinoEarth but were at war with the Evolians, entities that emerged from the meteor. The two Earths are separate until Asuka, a Ryujin from Dino Earth, arrives on Earth via a transdimensional portal. However, he is followed by the Evolians in their Anamolicarus spaceship and the three Bakuryuus under their control. As the Bakuryus Tyrannosaurus, Ptreranodon, and Triceratops attack Tokyo, a call is sent out to people who possess DinoGuts and the potential of gaining the power to tame the rampaging Bakuryu. Together with their Bakuryu partners, the three people recognized by the first three Bakuryu become Abarangers to protect their dimension from the Evolians.

Notes[]

• This is the first and so far, only Super Sentai Series acknowledged by its Power Rangers counterpart, with episode 10 used for ':Lost & Found in Translation, the 19th episode of Power Rangers Dino Thunder.
• This is the first season where the sole female member of the team is a Yellow Ranger, discouting the "wannabe" AbarePink.
• This is the first and so far, only Super Sentai Series to have a post-credit sequence right after the ending sequence for each of its episodes.
• This is the first Super Sentai series to feature the new TV Asahi logo at the credits, as it was changed on October 1, 2003.
  • This visual identity change happened after the SUPER Hero Time block creation on September 28, 2003, with episode 31 and Kamen Rider 555 episode 35. Thus, the new logo was included (with color changes each episode) starting with episode 32.
• This is the first Super Sentai Series of which the Korean dub used the title that was used for its American adaptation, that is Power Rangers Dino Thunder (파워레인저 다이노썬더, Pawa Leinjeo Dainosseondeo).
• Akin to the previous dinosaur-themed Super Sentai Series Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger, Abaranger featured a evil-turn-good Additional Warrior and a sentient evil armor.
• Abaranger has the first Sentai villain who would later become a Sixth Ranger.
