So some argue why Super Sentai won't air in America? Although Power Rangers tried more of Sentai's formulas like the new cast per season, tried to introduce better villains and so on, but there are stuff that can't be Power Rangers:
I was thinking of stuff you can't have in Power Rangers but you can have them in Super Sentai:
Guns and other related lethal weapons outside civilian form.
You can see that in the earlier Super Sentai, you can see it later. Well Power Rangers just can't have that. While Jen did use a rifle in the Wild Force/Time Force crossover but it wasn't even prolonged. Most of the time, the bullets are replaced with lasers.
Suggestive humor.
Of course, TV-Y7-FV won't allow that. I mean you don't see any Power Rangers bathing do you? I mean, Mei had a bath scene in MMPR but not Kimberly. I would admit I had perverted fantasies over the fictional character herself. Skull had a crush on her but he didn't do any physical harassment to her. Kimberly's lucky that even if she's so hot she never passed through Justin groping her.
Permanent deaths of heroes.
In Lost Galaxy, Kendrix did die but was resurrected for the finale like it was with Hayate's fiance in Gingaman. However none of the heroes in Power Rangers were ever allowed to die even if their counterparts in Sentai died. One might consider the fact Tommy didn't die like Burai or another, Eric Myers in Time Force may have been scheduled to die but the script was changed due to executive meddling.
Best villains to go beyond their cruelty to the level of 80s villains.
Trakeena can be a threat to the Gingamen but she is still under limitations. She may be Power Rangers' version of Queen Ahames from Changeman
Overly sexy female characters.
Divatox and Trakeena were U.S. exclusive designs. I mean, you can't have Shelinda as Trakeena in Lost Galaxy can you? That's why Zonette wasn't added for Power Rangers Turbo. Shelinda's design wouldn't pass U.S. censors for Lost Galaxy.
Male nudity
Well don't expect Andrew Gray to have a rear nude shower scene like Justin Tomimori did in Kamen Rider Fourze. We had some occasional male nudity (but covered) in Super Sentai which we can't have in Power Rangers.
Or the occasional Sentai crucifixion
The reason is very self-explanatory.
Just my two cents!
