The Squad, Japanese style. The word can be translated as "Task Force" or "Squadron." Usually come in teams, with color-keyed uniforms and a range of personalities/roles that usually follows some variation on the Five-Man Band. Known for their synchronized posing; also, a Standard Power-Up Pose is often used in many Sentai works during the Transformation Sequence. A key concept is that the collective team are more important than the individual, and that more can be achieved by working together. Although there had been several superhero teams on Japanese television, the granddaddy of the whole "color-coded superhero team" concept is the live-action Super Sentai toku franchise which began in 1975, which is better known to western audiences as the source material for Power Rangers. A very western form of Sentai is to feature five teenagers receiving powers, with a transformation, i.e. it doesn't have to involve color-coding, or full body suits. They may not even transform at all, but have powers that combine to make a greater whole. Contrary to popular belief, "Sentai" ONLY denotes shows that have a squad of nigh-identical, color-coded superheroes, not every transforming superhero that comes from Japan (the proper term for that would be Henshin Hero, which is also part of the Tokusatsu genre). Older Than Cable TV, the first usage of "Sentai" was for task forces in Imperial Japan, though variants existed as far back as feudal times. The JMSDF currently doesn't use "Sentai", but does use the related term "Kantai". Do not confuse with Hentai, please. Even though there's definitely some unholy overlap somewhere. |

Cazador parodies this with the Powerful Galactic Defenders: CosmoPatagonian Hare, CosmoArmadillo, CosmoCavy, and CosmoTatou. They had a fifth member, CosmoPlatypus, but he died in battle; the title character was invited to replace him, but gave up because he couldn't pronounce the animal's name to power up (that, and he didn't really want to join them to begin with). Their Humongous Mecha looks like a humanoid rabbit. | |

Parodied in The World Ends with You's bonus chapter, "Another Day." After everyone's pins get stolen at a Tin Pin Slammer tournament, Shooter brings Neku and his friends to his "secret base" (really Ramen Don) to form the Tin Pin Rangers and save the day. Shooter calls Red for himself as team leader, Beat gets Yellow because of his love of curry, Neku gets assigned Black n' Blue, much to his annoyance, and Shiki gets Green to match her skirt... but only because Joshua called dibs on Pink. Rhyme joins the team later on and becomes Black, leaving Neku with only Blue, until she leads them all into a trap and reveals herself as the Sixth Ranger Traitor. | |

Disgaea has the Prism Rangers. Humorously, Etna just shoots them during their Transformation Sequence, meaning you don't even have to fight the whole group. "But there are only three of you. That's not even enough for a rainbow." Disgaea 6: Defiance of Destiny marks the first time in the franchise that a prism ranger is part of the main cast: Piyori Nijino is the leader of the Ultra Chroma Power Squad Prism Rangers. Along with her team, she fights evil while hopping her new adventures will improve the sagging ratings of her TV Show as if it gets cancelled, her entire dimension will be destroyed. |

Magical Pokaan has a singular, Sentai-based episode that becomes increasingly silly. Since the show only has four leading girls, the fifth spot is filled by no one — the green suit is an empty shell. On top of that, the team's Combining Mecha never forms correctly, with mishaps ranging from a missing component to five copies of the same component attempting to fuse together. The end of the episode is a stream of random gags that would take too long to explain here. (There actually is a fifth ranger. She just happens to be invisible.) | |

Excel♡Saga: The manga is somewhere between a Deconstruction and Parody of this genre. The Municipal Team Daitenzin is Sentai group made up by the local government to fight the evil organization ACROSS, but it's staffed by a collection of disinterested or stupid employees who do more damage than they fix. The anime, meanwhile, throws out the serious elements and goes into full-blown parody with Municipal Team Daitenzin. |

Dragon Ball: The Ginyu Force of Dragon Ball Z are a parody of this trope: there are five of them (instead of the four which are traditional in villainous groups), it's their skin that's different colors instead of their costumes, and they constantly strike poses and throw group attacks. In fact, when recruiting new members for the team, Captain Ginyu is mostly concerned with their posing ability. Dragon Ball Z Kai even gives them their own theme song! Dragon Ball Super later introduces heroic Sentai-eque warriors in the form of Universe 11's Pride Troopers, and the Gamma twins in Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero. |

However, only 7 get any focus, and they just happen to be the only ones with color-coding. The other 93 have weirder themes. (The 101st member is you, the player.)

It's... special. It's the audio drama on the "Addition" soundtrack (4th one, with four of them on the cover). There are plenty of translations floating about, including one with graphics. |

Parodied in Kamen Rider Ryuki with the Agito vs Ryuki special. The regular Ryuki series is about twelve Kamen Riders who fight each other to the death in an There Can Only Be One tournament. Most of these riders range from Anti-Hero to outright villain. In the special, the Riders act more like a traditional Sentai, constantly uttering how they fight for justice. | |

Atomic Robo: The Science Team Super Five was formed to protect Japan from recurring attacks by silicon-based monsters called Biomega, and is composed of five color-coded fighters with helmets that have large visors and sculpted lips. They’re given slightly more grounding in reality in that they’re all specially trained adults and have extensive logistical support, and their flagship giant robot is basically just a vehicle for getting a BFG where it needs to go to punch a hole in a kaiju. Their roles have passed through at multiple generations; it seems standard for their Mission Control to have been the red one in their youth. When Biomega reemerges years later as a planetary threat, Majestic 12 takes over their operation not for the Super Five, but to mass-produce the advanced technology that made them possible — their organization having previously held it close to their chests out of fear it would be misused. | |

As such, her outfit and bow are updated to have a mix of both classic and futuristic themes, and one of her victory poses pays homage to "Super Sentai" Stances. | |

Persona 2 brings us Phoenix Ranger Featherman R. They're clichéd, but not a parody. And the heroes of Innocent Sin count, as they roleplayed as these heroes in their childhood, and you need all five masks to unlock all five ultimate Personas. Joker, leader of the Masked Circle and the initial antagonist, is one of them, and each executive is a counterpart of the other four heroes. | |

One of your party members, Yusuke Kitagawa, also has a side-story vignette where he and the protagonists do Super Sentai Stances while trying to figure out how to repair some superhero team action figures he accidentally broke. In Persona 5 Royal, you can have the characters wear Phoneix Ranger Featherman costumes while dungeon crawling. You can also buy a retro game based on the Feathermen. |

Ramen Fighter Miki: A Show Within a Show example is the Star Rangers. Akihiko is a huge fan of them, to the point that when anyone so much as mentions the show, he starts to think he is Red Star. He seems equally convinced that the rest of the main cast are the other Star Rangers. The genre is also deconstructed: the Red Ranger is The Hero, he acts heroic, gets things done, and always gets a 100% Heroism Rating… because he is on a TV show. Akihiko the Loony Fan does exactly the same things the Red Ranger does, but is a Lord Error-Prone and the Butt-Monkey because he is in Real Life. |

Culture Brain intended to bring this to the US under the guise of a superhero team by converting two of their Hiryū no Ken games into one superhero-themed title on the NES, calling it Flying Warriors. They even had a fairly big marketing blitz to go with it, with a multi-issue comic book being published in GamePro. The game itself ended up being swiftly forgotten. Hiryu no Ken II, the Japanese counterpart to Flying Warriors, also introduced a colorful Five-Man Band that could transform into armored super modes. Needless to say, this feature was ignored once the series returned to its Fighting Game roots. |

They dress up in color coded high tech Powered Armor known as Raid Suits, have unique individual powers, and even have thier own "Super Sentai" Stance. Following the Whole Cake Island arc, Sanji is given his own Raid Suit by his family, which Law says is similar to the fictional character, Stealth Black, from the aforementioned comic. As of yet the reason they gave him a raid suit is still a mystery, considering that Sanji hates his family and the feeling is mutual since they see him as a weak failure, his sister being the sole exception. | |

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have some Sentai elements, with signature color-codes, weapons and appropriately contrasting/complementing personalities. The 2012 cartoon makes the brothers fans of various Shows Within The Show that parody different genres; one of which is a Sentai/anime send-up called Super Robo Mecha Force Five. |

VR Troopers can be considred a Sentai show, being about three heroes fighting against a virtual warlord. However, VR Troopers is actually an adaptation of three separate Metal Heroes shows, where the hero does most of their battles solo. Therefore, you'll never see the entire team fighting against a single monster. | |

In the Fruits Basket manga, Kakeru seems determined to turn the student council into a proper "School Defense Force" and starts assigning colors. He claims Black for himself (because he thinks it would make him seem cool and mysterious) and, after teasing Yuki about how his pretty face should make him Pink, gives him Red for being student council president. Kimi insists on being Pink and sticks Machi with Yellow (like Beat above, Kimi claims it's because Machi likes curry so much). Naohito just plain refuses to play along. And Ayame is named the Commander immediately after Kakeru meets him, much to his delight. | |

INVADERS of the ROKUJYOUMA!?: Book 6 introduces the "Taiyou Butai Sunranger" ("Sun Rangers" in the official translation), a secret government taskforce created to defend against attacks from Beneath the Earth. They're initially treated as a joke, a dead-end department with so little budget that they can't even afford to give the team's suits different colors. However, by their second appearance in book 15 they've Taken A Level In Badass, having gained real combat experience and (now that the their enemy's existence is proven) the budget for better equipment. This leads to the team and Koutarou developing a great mutual respect for each other, to the point where they consider him an honorary Sixth Ranger. By their third appearance in book 28, the loose wording of their mission statement has left them with a priority seat in humanity's First Contact with the Forthorthian Empire, and the team have become skilled infiltrators and bodyguards assigned to watch over visiting alien VIPs. | |

Mentioned/Parodied in Tales of the Abyss with the "Abyss Man" costumes for the seven playable characters (if you've already beat the game once). Everyone gets a colour-coded costume (red, orange, blue, green, pink, black, and silver) with a hilarious description. "Abyss Man" is apparently a popular show in-universe, and the Emperor of Malkuth is a huge fan. Considering the two lines given that are evidently direct quotes from the show, it's a parody of the genre. | |
