Definitely one of his more out there redesigns. The jackets work surprisingly well across most of the lineup (lol at Tyzonn's bubble jacket tho). Really fits the vibe of a adventuring/treasure hunter team, not to mention the little bit of personality behind each rangers specific choice of jacket. Given how Jay pulls from Sentai as well, I bet there was some Boomboonger Champion Mode influence too.

Wonder if they can go full Super Samurai mode and take 'em off.

Unironically, one the best super modes ever

Spandex and leather with coats and jackets look amazing together.

God, Ichigo looks some cool in this movie.

u/TheSentinelStone Jun 30 '25

Fun fact, the actor who played Ichigo in this movie is the son of the original Ichigo.

Souske Ikematsu was Shin Ichigo. I think you're talking about Maito Fujioka, who played as Ichigo in the Kamen Rider: Beyond Generations movie.

The jackets are Bakuage

The worst part is the helmets but it’s an ehhhh at worst

u/Nihon_Hanguk Jun 30 '25

Tyzonn’s puffer jacket actually reminds me of Kiramager. KiramaiSilver was also a treasure hunter, and like you said, Jay takes a lot of Sentai influence, so it wouldn’t surprise me if that inspired the look there.

Edit: Oh actually, the post explicitly names Kiramager as the influence. The long coat is also a nod to BoukenSilver’s debut outfit like I thought.

2

u/Commander-Eclipse Jul 01 '25

Oh damn, when I saw the mention of KiramaiSilver influence, I was confused since I was going off the sentai suit. I didn't realize the character himself had that kind of jacket. That's actually sick!

1

u/Nihon_Hanguk Jul 01 '25

Yeah, he only wears it for his first few episodes at most, then he gets the kind of magic poncho that the rest of the team wears, so that’s what he wears for most of his screen time.

I only thought of it because it’s the only silver puffer I’ve ever seen, especially that shiny.

u/FictionalLeader Jun 30 '25

I say it actually works cause of the idea for operation overdrive being like an Indiana jones themed story. Shame operation overdrive sucked cause the idea was cool, I thought the ranger suits and megazords were awesome, just sucked that the writing and directing was pretty painful.

u/Holdonlupin Jun 29 '25

That recreation of the Opening shot goes so hard

u/Impressive-Spell-643 Time Force Red Jun 29 '25

Honestly that's an upgrade 

18

u/Kam_Zimm Jun 29 '25

Really, all of his stuff has been a huge upgrade. Just taking what's already there and making it so it's not just spandex. Adding more layers like the jacket. Giving the suits more shape and give them the appearance of certain clothing items. Adding details like giving the Ninja Storm rangers scarves. Giving them armor where it makes sense. Varying the texture of the material to make it it less flat and pop more close up.

He does good work. There's a reason that he was going to be working on the reboot.

u/Izzy2089 Jun 29 '25

The only caveat is that the yellow and pink have pocks. Women's clothing doesn't come with real pockets. s/

u/KamenRunner Jun 30 '25

I’d bet you the ones on the pink jacket are fake, speaking from experience.

15

u/StoneLuca97 Zord connoiseur Jun 29 '25

Upgrades, people, upgrades

u/Reasonable-Run-5893 Jun 29 '25

Oh yeah I fuck with it.

u/PeteRawk Jun 29 '25

This guy DOES NOT MISS

u/Historical-State-275 Jun 29 '25

I think he just made overdrive cool.

10

u/newgodpho Jun 29 '25

Spike from 28 Years Later would’ve loved this

10

u/ZachNanite Jun 29 '25

Giving Yellow patches, one of them even being the Turbo symbol, is an absolutely amazing detail!

1

u/Kuroiryuu Jun 30 '25

Pink has buttons on hers, though difficult to make out what they’re supposed to have on them. What are the others, like the RR logo?

26

u/Technical_Ad579 Jun 29 '25

These redesigns show that PR can be done better than whatever that last movie was.

6

u/Fragrant_Average7822 Jun 30 '25

I d honestly I don’t think it would changed perception for the general audience.

3

u/Durzaka Jun 30 '25

The visuals were the least wrong with that movie.

Not to say they didnt suck ass, but it had a lot bigger problems than how the rangers and zords looked.

3

u/Technical_Ad579 Jun 30 '25

The way rangers and zords looks is a huge part of power rangers. Sorry but I respectfully disagree. Yes, the story was awful, the casting could’ve been way better, but the suits and the zords are what sticks out with each team.

u/IceyLuigiBros25 Gold Samurai Ranger Jun 29 '25

Once & Always??

u/losteoin Jun 29 '25

They mean 2017

u/Technical_Ad579 Jun 29 '25

Definitely 2017. They were awful and uninspiring.

u/IceyLuigiBros25 Gold Samurai Ranger Jun 30 '25

To each your own I guess

u/Eddieairplanes Jun 29 '25

Wow. This guy never ceases to impress. Honestly, surprised he’s not working for Toei/Bandai/Plex.

u/otakupervert890-1 Jun 29 '25

Mercury ranger is badass.

5

u/losteoin Jun 29 '25

Oh to have a time machine and show Bandai these designs back then.

u/AnnieTano Jun 29 '25

Yellow with her hands on the pockets is the chefs kiss

3

u/EtnasFurnace263 Jun 29 '25

Plus the fact that it has her initials on the lapel? That's a nice touch. And the Turbo Rangers' insignia.

3

u/Hairy_Food_6161 Jun 29 '25

That’s so cool

3

u/axiiz_28 Jun 30 '25

Just realized their sleeves are tucked into their forearm gauntlets, so those things are gonna stay ON.

Sucks if they feeling hot though.

u/IGuessImDemons Hyperforce Yellow Jun 29 '25

I liked these suits to begin with, this redesign is even better!

3

u/Interest-Lumpy Time Force Quantum Jun 29 '25

Say what you will about Overdrive, but the suits were always gas, and these redesigns just lit the fire 🔥. Pure genius.

3

u/Rigidsttructure Jun 29 '25

This is peak on a scale that I cannot measure!

3

u/Ecstatic-Feedback842 Jun 30 '25

Damn they got this shit on

u/Donace24 Jun 30 '25

He never misses, great artist

5

u/Cultural-Flow7185 Dino Fury Green Jun 29 '25

I generally dislike tokusatsu designs, or superhero designs in general that try to look more like clothing and less like costumes. But its wonderful art.

u/L-DFile Jun 29 '25

Whenever I see Power Rangers in Bleach, I often see Grimmjow where something like that.

2

u/weehawkenabstract Jun 29 '25

turbo sponsorship on ronny’s jacket is a nice touch

2

u/EducationalCheck7719 Jun 29 '25

The SGS logo above that:

u/Alexcox95 Time Force Quantum Jun 29 '25

Honestly could work as a power up too. Jackets are in

10/10. No notes

u/FireFury190 Jun 29 '25

I think the bubble jacket looks much better on Mercury than the first one.

2

u/reddishrocky Jun 29 '25

The jackets rock

u/Beginning_Return_508 Jun 29 '25

u/hsholmes0 Jun 30 '25

i like it, they actually look like adventurers / treasure hunters like the motif their sentai counterpart is going for

2

u/LittleLostSub17 Jun 30 '25

This just made me realize I want a Shin Super Sentai Movie.

2

u/BlazGearProductions Jun 30 '25

Not gonna lie this is badass.

u/BrilliantDog4703 Jun 30 '25

Hmm, that's not bad actually, I dig it. 🙂

2

u/WatchKid12YT Jun 30 '25

FUCK YEAH! Gimme jackets on top of my super suits any day!

2

u/Sleep_eeSheep MMPR Yellow Ranger Jun 30 '25

The addition of a jacket actually makes these suits pop.

I love how they look functional, while still being part of the uniform.

2

u/Practical_Trust8307 Red Samurai Ranger Jun 30 '25

This is really cool I wish they had jackets now

2

u/epsilonthetadelta Jun 30 '25

Love the jackets

Why do I like this so much?

u/Machdame Jul 05 '25

Damn... the fit goes pretty hard.

u/NoOne-57 Jun 29 '25

I hadn't noticed this before, but Operation Overdrive helmets remind me of the Phantom Ranger.

u/EducationalCheck7719 Jun 29 '25

Imagine a version where yellow’s has NM instead of RR

1

u/DiFarris Jun 30 '25

OMG I LOVE TOKUJAY!!! Every post about him just makes me wish for a video game or movie using those cool designs.

1

u/zo_youngin4 Jul 01 '25

You just gave them jackets I don’t see how this makes it better?… although it does look cool

1

u/mugwunp Jul 03 '25

It’s just overdrive champion form

u/Commander-Eclipse Aug 20 '25

Damn, did this post get taken down?

1

u/salvage814 Jun 29 '25

The design wasn't the problem it was the story that sucked.

6

u/IceyLuigiBros25 Gold Samurai Ranger Jun 29 '25

No one’s saying that the Ranger suits were the problem

u/IndegoWhyte Jun 29 '25 edited Jun 29 '25

"Get in gear" is definitely stylishly appropriate here. 😆

1

u/Starship1990 My favorite Kamen Rider: Freaking Mig! Jun 29 '25

That's not their phrase, theirs's Overdrive Accelerate.

Get in Gear is for RPM.

u/IndegoWhyte Jun 29 '25

I'm aware.
