Plot[]

Kenta Date, a young high school student, is the champion of an arcade video-game known as "Megaranger". Due to his skills and abilities, the I.N.E.T. company brings him in to use his skills and abilities in a top-secret project tied to the Megaranger game. At the same moment as he is brought in, four other students of the "Digital Research Club" at Moroboshi High School (the same high school Kenta was attending) likewise appear at the company, investigating the mysterious research being done by the scientists at the facility. However, as the five are within the facility, a pre-emptive attack begins from the evil Nezirezia, an evil dimensional force led by Dr. Hinelar under Electro-King Javious I with plans of conquering this reality.

Dr. Kubota, INET chief, then reveals the truth to Kenta and friends: Megaranger was not a video-game, but actually a combat simulator that had been designed to find the recruits with the potential to become a super fighting team to strike against the Nezirezia. As the twisted invaders destroy the base, Kubota gives Kenta and his friends special devices known as Digitizers. By entering the key-code 335 and shouting "Install, Megaranger!", Kenta, Kouichirou, Shun, Chisato and Miku, become the fighting team known as Denji Sentai Megaranger with the ability to fight back against Nezirezia.

Notes[]

  • This is the final Sentai where the main mech doesn't have individualized pieces for each member.
  • The sound that is played when the Death Neziros appears on screen is the TARDIS sound from Doctor Who. This is due to the BBC giving sound clips to Toei.
  • The original concept of the season was Gigaranger, it was to involve Ranger heroes in space with mecha based on five space vehicle and a transforming colony.[5] The space theme would be used in Power Rangers in Space, due to the producers believing Megaranger was space-themed based from their arsenal and mechs. The colony idea, while not transforming, was used in Power Rangers Lost Galaxy as Terra Venture.
  • Other concepts for the series was that the mecha was formed by the Ranger's individual symbols (personal computer, satellite, television, digital camera and cellphone).
  • During the transformation sequence, several lines of text appear in the background. The first one, "Tighten Up Reality Gangster," is a combination of three song titles from an album called Electronic by a band with the same name. It is tracks 3, 2 and 6 in that order.
