Uchu Sentai Kyuranger (宇宙戦隊キュウレンジャー, Uchū Sentai Kyūrenjā, Space Squadron Kyuranger) is a Japanese tokusatsu drama and the 41st entry of Toei‘s long-running Super Sentai metaseries.[1] It aired from February 12, 2017 to February 4, 2018, replacing Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger and was replaced by Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger. The program joining Kamen Rider Ex-Aid and later Kamen Rider Build in the Super Hero Time line-up on TV Asahi affiliate stations. Kyuranger is considered the fifth space-themed series[a] whose primary motifs are constellations and Greco-Roman mythology, and it is also the first Super Sentai series to introduce nine regular members in the beginning instead of five or fewer like previous installments. The team later gains three additional members, increasing the number to twelve and becoming the largest team of the franchise so far.
Kyuranger began airing in South Korea as Power Rangers Galaxy Force. It also began airing in Indonesia in April 2019 as Kyuuranger.
Footage from Kyuranger was later reused for the third season of Power Rangers Dino Fury, renamed Power Rangers Cosmic Fury. However, much like Gosei Sentai Dairanger, only the footage pertaining to the mecha is used, with Cosmic Fury using original costume designs for the Rangers.
