These are fun to make! And if anyone was going to bring it up, yes, I am aware and was aware at the time of making this video that maskmans robo was the first one that had individualized mecha for each member, but I didn’t think this was relavent because first off, the underrated counter fact to this is that the goggle robo, from only a year later in 1982 (and as such definitely by the same people at Toei that were making voltron) is a robo that had individual mechs for red, blue, and yellow, just not for black and pink. So yeah the individual mechs were still basically brought onto the scene at the same time. The argument from there would be that sentai/rangers ripped the five individual mechs from voltron but... when Toei decided to bring back the idea for maskman it wasn’t a matter of ripping to be like voltron or not (which btw the mecha formation was nothing like anyways) it was a matter of, we already have had this idea, if we’re bringing it back, wouldn’t it make sense to give individual mechs to every ranger. But then again, as I said in the video, which doesn’t change based on this, they both were not the first, nor “rip-offs”.
Toei designed the the mechas for Go-Lion/Lion Voltron and Dairugger/Vehicle Voltron as well as Super Sentai. Thanks I learned about Voltron and Power Rangers’ source materials being made by the same company since Go-Lion was really origin for the Power Rangers due to their Japanese connections so neither are rip-offs at all.
Americans will quickly point out MMPR is a rip-off of Voltron. But in Japan, it’s ALL Owned by Toei. Voltes V is the very first precursor of the Sentai formula anime series that Golion(Voltron) is based on and of course a year earlier Go Ranger. And in the year Voltes V was released. Tatsunoko produce Gatchaman which had the same formula and no giant transforming robot Going way back in 1963. Marvel’s X-Men had the 4 guys one girl with a mentor leading them to fight evil minus a giant transforming Robot. So Super Sentai (power Rangers) kind of started there.
As a writer hardly ever is anything truly completely original. Every story every movie every TV show every comic book is based off inspired by something else.
Oh yeah, there was a video of Megazord and Voltron fighting and the actors said “Let’s kick the copyright infringement out of these posers!” that was stupid and ignorant because they were both made by Toei. In fact, the actual robot of Voltron (GoLion) was designed by a man named Katsushi Murakami, who also designed TyrannoRanger’s suit and Dragon Caesar’s head. He also designed Battle Fever Robo too!
Any real fan of both knows that Voltron was the one that ripped off the other first super senti came out in Japan in 1975 then Voltron came out in 1984 in Japan
That’s only for American adaptations the franchise the rangers is based on is 6 years older then Voltron the first transforming robot was probably from the sentai series spider-man from 1978 called The Marveller cause at the time marvel had a working relationship with super Sentai where characters would be intergraded in super sentai suits going as far as spider-man was adapted minus his spider bite backstory
@@Xander_Roche the romance trio started it all, three shows which includes Combattler V, Voltes V, and Daimos that solidified the super robot sub genre while it was the tokusatsu Spiderman that gave the idea of giving heroes mecha to fight the monster of the week.
You forgot GIGANTOR word lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that robot would've had it's own thought process and caught reck on a lot of robots without the remote or I'm piloting him
0:14 and I say bullwaste, that is not a power ranger, that is a ranger (i was going to say sentai ranger but that doesn't sound right) but I get what you mean
For the people who don’t want to watch the video I haven’t even watched it but I already now Power rangers came first and Voltron came after but Voltron is not a knock off in fact there’s not really that much in common besides giant robots that combined together and colored suits so no knock off
Kamen Rider came out 5 years before Sentai tho👀. And in Japan, Sentai, Kamen Rider and Voltron are all owned by Toei making NONE of them ripoffs of the other

Now I can finally convince my dad power rangers is not a ripoff of voltron ( he hates power rangers )
Lol, your welcome!
Thanks (sorry a didn’t realize you replied to me)
@@toku-punk your good
Yep a convinced him it’s not a rip-off but
He still thinks power ranger and the hole Toku genre is stupid
@@Xander_Roche yep I’ve convince him it’s not a rip-off but he still thinks that power rangers and the hole Toku genre is stuped

Yep
The origins are form Toei. Power Rangers = Super Sentai and Voltron = Go Lion.

Yep, the series are like brothers, and would anyone call your brother a rip-off of you? Of course not.
@@Xander_Roche that’s a great way to think about this!
Actually, Battle Fever J was the first Super Sentai series to have a mecha.
This is true but it wasn’t a combined mecha. Sun Vulcan brought that about.
Any real fan of both knows that Voltron was the one that ripped off the other first super senti came out in Japan in 1975 then Voltron came out in 1984 in Japan
3:56 - what is "Combat Lurvey"? Or is it "come bah Lurvey"?
@@MaskedMarble combattler v
Power rangers was a rip off of a show made in Japan and voltron was a fusion of two anime’s also from Japan so THEY ARE BOTH RIP OFFS
oh and btw i did some research
Voltron
Septembre 10, 1984
power rangers
August 28, 1993
WHAT????? I HAD NO IDEA!!! LOOKS LIKE POWER RANGERS IS A RIPOFF!!!
That’s only for American adaptations the franchise the rangers is based on is 6 years older then Voltron the first transforming robot was probably from the sentai series spider-man from 1978 called The Marveller cause at the time marvel had a working relationship with super Sentai where characters would be intergraded in super sentai suits going as far as spider-man was adapted minus his spider bite backstory
nice vid i was always thinking whos the ripoff
Thx, much appreciated!
The casuals saw Voltron and MMPR, without knowing the source material.
Why can’t it just be a genre?
It is, what should we call, robospandex genre?
Inspiration
It's quite Incorrect to point Combattler V as the first or Inventor of Combining mecha, the title goes to Getter Robo (1974)
Interesting

Who rip-off who? Power ranger start in showa era while voltron start in heisei era, not hard to tell who "rip-off" who
What's Your Opinion on Kiramager
Didn’t finish but I love it so far
Thank You
Who is your favorite monster in Kamen Rider
The Worms
@@Xander_Roche 👌Thanks
Raideen looks similar to Voltron with the exception that 1 guy runs Raideen.
0:14
and I say bullwaste, that is not a power ranger, that is a ranger (i was going to say sentai ranger but that doesn't sound right)
but I get what you mean
Yeah I was just saying for Voltron fans since they would most likely think of it as a Power Ranger
Only a true gen xer knows Power Rangers ripped off Voltron
oh come on, Power Rangers is just Voltron repackaged, Power Rangers replaced the Lions with Dinosaurs.. it's not a ripoff, it's plagiarism
Sure😐
Bruh.........did you watch the video?
1:16 literally 1984
Goddammit 😆
I don't care if is a rip off I don't like Voltron because of dub
I know it’s your opinion and all but what’s so bad about the English dub of Voltron?
I’m a fan of both
I do not know, but I remember they are both in Toei ?????
Yeah exactly
Amazing video!
For the people who don’t want to watch the video I haven’t even watched it but I already now Power rangers came first and Voltron came after but Voltron is not a knock off in fact there’s not really that much in common besides giant robots that combined together and colored suits so no knock off
(Super) Sentai came out first, so everything is a ripoff of Sentai
😑
Kamen Rider came out 5 years before Sentai tho👀. And in Japan, Sentai, Kamen Rider and Voltron are all owned by Toei making NONE of them ripoffs of the other
