Here, he joins a multiracial American family made up of Hal, Barbara, and their adopted children Molly and Albee. In Masked Rider, Prince Dex has come to Earth from space, having been on the run from the Plague Patrol. Then again, maybe you donвЂ™t need to worry about this story if youвЂ™re going to disregard almost every aspect of it. There, the King Stone mutates, and he becomes Kamen Rider Black RX, making the decision to fight against the Crisis Empire and stop their planned invasion of Earth. After refusing, his King Stone that allows him to fight is shattered, and heвЂ™s then thrown into space. Later, heвЂ™s captured by the Crisis Empire, an invading alien force that tries to recruit him into their ranks. In the series, following the downfall of Gorgom at the end of Black, Kotaro Minami gets himself a job as a helicopter pilot in a company owned by the Sahara family.

Although you arenвЂ™t required to have seen the original Black series to enjoy Black RX, it also directly continues where the story of Black ends off and even aired immediately following its conclusion. The choice to adapt Kamen Rider Black RX in particular is a strange one, considering its status as a rare sequel to a previous Kamen Rider show. The original Masked Rider is a weird series, both for how it diverges from the darker tone of the Kamen Rider franchise and in terms of the choices made in the adaptation process. With that level of pop culture domination, why not see if lightning strikes twice? With Power Rangers still at the peak of its power during that initial series run from 1993 to 1996, Saban Entertainment attempted to bring the Kamen Rider franchise to the West, with, letвЂ™s say, mixed results. Nowadays, Power Rangers is a multi-billion dollar franchise through toy sales alone, even ignoring the Japanese market.

The success of the series speaks for itself, as TV ratings surpassed expectations and everything from a feature film to touring stage performances were spawned from the original beloved cast of characters. The result was the original Mighty MorphinвЂ™ Power Rangers series, adapted in its first series from Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger with newly filmed American segments interspersed with footage of fight scenes from the original Super Sentai series.

After a failed attempt to localize Choudenshi Bioman, having produced a pilot in 1985, a partnership was formed with Fox Kids in 1992 to air a Sentai localization in their kids programming block. Having encountered the series on Japanese TV on a trip to the country in 1985, Haim Saban was inspired to bring tokusatsu to the world, thinking that a series about guys in spandex fighting monsters could appeal to an international audience. The entry of Power Rangers into Western pop culture is a known story at this point.
