Denji Sentai Megaranger

Denji Sentai Megaranger (電磁戦隊メガレンジャー, Denji Sentai Megarenjā; Electromagnetic Squadron Megaranger) is Toei's twenty-first production of the Super Sentai metaseries, and the second Sentai, after Kousoku Sentai Turboranger in which all heroes are high school students. The footage was also used in the American series Power Rangers in Space. It aired from February 14, 1997, to February 15, 1998, replacing Gekisou Sentai Carranger, and was replaced by Seijuu Sentai Gingaman. Toei gave it the name Mega Rangers for international distribution.

Shout! Factory released "Denji Sentai Megaranger: The Complete Series" on DVD on October 31, 2017. This is the 6th Super Sentai series to be released in North America on Region 1 DVD. In January 2018, Shout! streamed the series on their website.

One of the series villain costumes and a prop were used for the 7th season of the American Power Rangers series (Power Rangers Lost Galaxy which was adapting the 1998 Sentai installment, Seijuu Sentai Gingaman).

Kenta Date, a senior high school student, is the ultimate champion of an arcade video game called Megaranger. He belongs to the Cybernetics club, a group of like minded friends from his school. Koichiro Endo, Shun Namiki, Chisato Jogaseki, and Miku Imamura are also members of Cybernetics. The International Network of Excel-Science and Technology (INET), the games creators, invite Kenta and the Cybernetics club members to tour the INET laboratories. Following a short tour of the INET HQ buildings, the company is attacked by the Neijirejia, an evil force led by Dr. Hinelar on a mission to conquer the current reality. Dr. Kubota, INET's chief scientist, reveals that Megaranger was more than only a simple video game but actually a combat simulator to identify potential recruits for a super fighting team to combat the Neijirejia. While the INET headquarters (HQ) is destroyed by the Neijirejia warrior Yugande, Dr. Kubota gives Kenta and his friends devices known as 'Degitaizers'. By entering the key-code "3-3-5" and shouting "Install, Megaranger!", the five students transform into the Megarangers to fight the Nejirejia.

The International Network of Excel-Science and Technology (世界科学者連邦, Sekai Kagakusha Renpō; INET) is the company responsible for the Megaranger video game used to identify five people to become the Megarangers.

Five high school students chosen by INET become the titular Denji Sentai Megaranger, with one additional member who is an INET agent. Their base of operations is the Digital Research Club at Moroboshi High School.

Kenta Date/Mega Red (伊達 健太/メガレッド, Date Kenta/Mega Reddo): 18 years old, Kenta is a slacker and knucklehead who likes yakiniku (to a point where he will ask Dr. Kubota to treat him to a yakiniku lunch for every mission accomplished), but is also friendly, playful, and has a good heart. He becomes an ideal candidate to become a Megaranger after beating a skilled opponent on INET's Megaranger arcade game, which was actually a tool used to recruit Megarangers.

As Mega Red, Kenta's forehead symbol is a personal computer, which enables him to upload data and program skills into his mind, making him an adaptable warrior. Ironically, he is the only member who does not like computers.
