(Insert Kamen Rider Dragon Kinight jokes here.)

I like the idea of a Dragon Knight themed sentai, and I'm picturing fancier suits for it than in more recent series. Hopefully we get a good storyline for it, that doesn't spin its wheels for around 20 episodes. (cough LuPat cough!)

Every time I do a search on this upcoming series, I get the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon opening running through my head.

Dungeon Master - "Ranger! Barbarian! Magician, Thief... Cavalier and Acrobat!"

Spoiler

Those look actually pretty cool? The weapons are clearly modeled after dinosaurs though. Japan, how many times do we have to go through this, dinosaur =/= dragon, I don't care if the jp name translates to "strong dragon"

Red - Blue - Pink - Green - Black, without Yellow again after 5 years since Kyoryuger?

Why do they use the same color and same theme just within 5 years?

Pretty nice looking. They do look like Dinosaurs more than dragons though.

Blue's weapon is a triceratops and Pink is an ankylodocus, guessing red is T-Rex?

THESE ARE NOT THE DRAGONS I WAS PROMISED TOEI

They're trying to mimic Kyoryuger because they're desperate to increase toy sales after poor sales with recent shows.

That said, Kyoryuger's been really over-saturated recently. Between Dino Charge, Kyoryuger Brave and 33.5, it's like Kyoryuger never left.

Hopefully they don't do another big dino crossover, although with Kyoryu Pink retiring that would be harder anyway.

Wait, two dinosaur-themed Sentai in the same decade? I wasn't expecting something like this until at least the early 2020s. Maybe their reasoning is that, since the Heisei era is coming to an end, it's okay to do a second dinosaur-themed Sentai already? I'm just pulling that out of the air.

Don't forget about the poster

I'm liking the looks of the outfits... however it's reminding me way too much of Kyoryuger... The helmets are cool.

don't you mean "fearsome dragon"? dinosaur is 恐竜, and the first kanji means fear

but yeah, dinosaur =/= dragon nonetheless

Sorry, I was having Kyouryuuger flashbacks, you're correct

potential, but then again, every show does until the scripts hit the floor.

and agreed on dinos.... why can't they just go RYU and forget the rest of it..... *sigh*

Dude, Red, look at your sword, it has 'teeth' for lack of a better word on the back end. That is a TERRIBLE way to clean it dramatically.

Hmmm, I am not so much getting a Kyouryuugers vibe so much as a Shinkenger feel so far... I mean either would work for me really.
