Galactic Squadron: Novaranger

Galactic Squadron: Novaranger

**Galatic Squadron: Novaranger** was a considered season for the tenth anniversary of Super Animal Squadron should Uchu Sentai: Kyuranger not get adapted into Power Rangers. It was officially canceled on September 30, 2022 after it was announced that the mecha from Kyuranger would be adapted into Power Rangers: Cosmic Fury, but the suits would be brand new.

It was eventually replaced by Freedom Squadron: Liberanger, which was to serve as a spiritual successor to Kyuranger.

## Trivia

* If this season came out, it would have been the first of the following.
	+ The first season to adapt a full season of Super Sentai, as opposed to only adapting a few story elements and characters.
		- Saurusger had Staragon, who was adapted from Megaranger; and Partator, who was adapted from Kyoryuger.
		- Stealthranger had the Yokai Troopers, who were adapted from Kakuranger.
		- Fangranger has Acornio, who is being adapted from Gingaman.
		- Draconightger is set to have Tinker Tonker, who is being adapted from Ninninger.
	+ The first season to have an Orange Ranger, Gold Ranger, and Silver Ranger on the core team.
		- Counting additional rangers, it will also be the first to have an Aqua Ranger on the core team.
	+ The following ranger species would have been set to appear in this series.
		- Arachio would have been the first scorpion ranger as well as the first bug ranger of the series.
		- Libre, Toro, and Alice would have been the first robot rangers in the series.
		- Clarice would have been the first chameleon ranger in the series.
		- Swordo would have been the first fish ranger in the series.
	+ This would have been be the first season to feature additional core rangers, as Nova Commander and Nova Aqua both count as such.
	+ The first season of the Sentai-Adaptation Era.
	+ The first season to crossover with **The Bad Guys** and **Sing**.
* This season would have had a few elements referencing the anti-Kyuranger talk from the previous years such as Swordo trying to put an end to the nonsense of the pointiness of his visor, and the amount of rangers on the team.
	+ The season itself would have also contradicted Simon Bennett's claim of there being too many rangers for character development, in which Eli J. Brown stated that the amount of rangers on the team is the second worst excuse not to adapt Kyuranger, with the first worst excuse being Yellow's visor.
* It had been confirmed that all of the main nine rangers would have retained their original genders and that only late-comer rangers (Koguma Skyblue and Houou Soldier) will be changed to female.
	+ This would have made Nova Aqua the first female Aqua Ranger in a main storyline rather than in a Returns Special.
* Shortly after it was considered to have Kyuranger (as well as other unadapted Sentai's) adapted into Super Animal Squadron should there be no more Sentai adaptations in Power Rangers, a poll was posted on Eli J. Brony's YouTube page about whether his subscribers wanted Kyuranger adapted into Power Rangers or Super Animal Squadron, there were more votes for the latter than there were for the former.
* The Morphin Masters who appeared in Dino Fury would have been set to make an appearance in this adaptation with it being revealed that there are actually twelve Morphin Masters, six of which traveled to another dimension with the Kyutama's. The six who remained in the PR universe were the Red, Blue, Gold, Black, Green, and Pink Masters; while the six who went to the anthroverse with the Kyutamas were the Orange, Silver, Yellow, Violet, Aqua, and Crimson Masters.
* The name "Novaranger" originated from Jason Bischoff's idea for a Power Rangers adaptation of Kyuranger called Supernova.
* A majority of the original monsters that didn't originate from Kyuranger would have depended on piloting the Moraimars Robos during the mecha battle rather than grow to giant size themselves.
	+ This would be due to there not being many original battles, given as to how it is uncertain if the KyurenOh costume would be available for filming.
* Eli J. Brown had said in a Twitter post and on the Power Rangers fanon wiki that if Ryusoul Brown from Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger isn't used in Power Rangers Dino Fury, he would have him appear in Novaranger as a thirteenth hero around the end of the series.
* Eli J. Brown had stated that he would want to see Kyuranger adapted in a season with Zenkaiger, stating it would be Super Megaforce, but done right with Zenkaizer serving as a thirteenth member and the Orion Voyager serving as his personal Zord with the Kikanoid Zenkaigers serving as additional mecha, however in Novaranger, Eli said this wouldn't work out due to time constraints and would rather adapt the seasons separately.
* After watching Kyuranger Vs. Space Squad, Eli J. Brown confirmed that he may have this be adapted as Galactic Squadron: Novaranger Returns with Space Ninja Demost being adapted as the new villain, possibly being given the name Alpha Zero, due to his slight resemblance to Alpha Five and Six. Another idea that is considered for this would be to adapt the unadapted Gokaiger villain, Basco ta Jolokia, due to him appearing in Kyuranger Vs. Space Squadron.
* Sonic8rider had mentioned that he thought that villains adapted from Dobotsu Sentai: ZyuOhger, should be adapted, although Eli J. Brown wasn't sure how this would work, given as to how it is possible ZyuOhger may be adapted in time as well.
* Although Kyuranger wasn't the earliest Sentai series to come out without a Power Rangers adaptation, it is possible that ToQger and ZyuOhger maybe still have been adapted in the future just as Go-Busters was adapted after Kyoryuger and Ninninger. If Sentais could be adapted out of order in Power Rangers, they can in Super Animal Squadron, too.
* In June of 2022, Season 30's title, "Power Rangers Cosmic Fury" was announced, suggesting either an adaptation of Kyuranger or Kirameiger. With this news in mind, it was possible Novaranger would need to be canned or modified. Fans assumed "Cosmic Fury" was a working title, but it was later confirmed to be the finalized title.
	+ Though producer Eli J. Brown had said he doesn't think it could be Kyuranger, as it was said it would just be 15 episodes long, which is too short for Kyuranger, given its 12 rangers. Even stating that while 12 rangers is not too many for 40 episodes, it is for 15 episodes. Although it appeared as though 15 episodes was just an early speculation, as Cosmic Fury ended up as 10 episodes.
	+ On August 28th, it was confirmed it would be a continuation on Power Rangers Dino Fury, with the Dino Fury cast returning. But at this time, it wasn't known if it will be an original series or still adapt a Sentai.
		- A poll was posted asking fans if they wanted the images for the first set of characters from Novaranger to be posted straight away after any confirmation about Cosmic Fury's new suits to be posted if it isn't adapting Kyuranger, with most fans stating that they do.
			* Should Cosmic Fury not have been about Kyuranger, said images would have surfaced in December 2022.
			* After it was confirmed the mecha were going to be carried over, the series was officially canceled.
* This series would have existed concurrent with **TUFFAgentShepherd's** second series, Jurassic Squadron: Shinobiger as well as with Bakuage Sentai: Boonboomger.

## Differences this series would have had compared to Kyuranger.

* The series would have began with the Pink Ranger becoming a ranger at the start of the series while fighting the escaped villains while the Orange, Blue, Gold, Silver, and Green Ranger are recruited during a time skip, while Yellow and Black are recruited later in the first chapter and Red is recruited in the second chapter. In Kyuranger, the Black, Green, and Yellow Rangers are active at the start while Red and Blue join in the first episode, Gold and Silver join in Episode 2, Orange debuts in Episode 3 but joins in Episode 5, and Pink joins in Episode 4.
* The Aqua Ranger and the Phoenix Ranger were set to be female. Originally, these rangers were male.
	+ This is similar to how the Yellow Rangers in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Lost Galaxy, Lightspeed Rescue, Time Force, and Wild Force, as well as Izzy Garcia/Dino Fury Green Ranger were all female, but were adapted from male Sentai rangers.
	+ The concept of having a female Aqua Ranger would be carried over into Liberanger.
* The Blue Ranger's family would have been a mother and baby sister. In Kyuranger, his family was a wife and son.
	+ Also, Kyuranger had this family be established after the original series had ended, while Novaranger would have had them be major characters in the main story.
* Hosbrai, who was not adapted from Kyuranger, was set to be the main villain while Ddezdrol was going to be a monster of the week. In Kyuranger, Don Armage (Ddezdrol's counterpart) was the main antagonist.
* In the Gold Ranger's birthday chapter, the future Aqua Ranger's younger brother had his birthday stolen with the future Aqua Ranger attempting to give him a replacement present only for that to disappear as well. In Kyuranger, these were separate characters from the Aqua Ranger and her brother's main counterparts.
* The Aqua Ranger was going to be 16 years old. In Kyuranger, her counterpart was 13.
* In Kyuranger, the Red Ranger's father sacrifices himself to activate a black hole Kyutama to suck up an explosion in order to save the universe. In Novaranger, he would have survived and then become the Brown Knight, as he wasn't going to need to sacrifice himself in this version.
