Is DonBrothers a Go-Busters reboot: Go-Busters 2.0?

[Thenosa Yechette]

Am I the only one who noticed these similarities between Donbrothers and Go-Busters? When looked at, the similarities are more significant that expected. Ok, maybe some of these that I have pointed out are a bit stupid. But a lot of them aren't. Are these similarities intentional, or merely coincidental?

• Season name ends with 'ers' instead of 'ranger' or 'ger'
• Primate Blues
• Teenager Yellows
• Unique and different suits from other seasons:
  Go-Busters suits were different from the spandex they normally use and they used a leather-like material. The Donbrothers suit design for each ranger is quite unique. Red has the topknot and the big pink peach on his helmet, blue has the fur, the gorilla-like shape and the red butt, Yellow has the spikes, Black and Pink have CGI suits which are almost in no way similar to each other.
• Yellow and blue share a special bond/get along well
• Utilizes the concept of Avatars in one form or another
• Uses sunglasses. Both on their visors and as an accessory/arsenal
• Reds with Motorcycles
• Darker tone than other seasons and experimental seasons for Toei.
• Rangers have battle armors each with their own unique design and color:
  The Donbrothers armors are mechs, sure. But they can be used out of mech fights, apparently. So it still counts, imo.
• Villains originate from a virtual parallel dimension
• Super talented reds, who are good at everything they do.
• Mech fights take place in a separate dimension (that is not the real human world but inside of it) at some point in the story: The Donbrothers mech fights happen in a separate virtual dimension that is above their real world. The Go-Busters had to fight inside the sub-dimension dome (which was inside their real world) for a few episodes in the middle of the season.
• The first few episodes focus majorly on Red and yellow's interactions with each other.

Go-Busters had a lot of elements that were too modern for its own time. The Avatar theme, parallel dimension theme weren't as well appreciated at that time. But maybe reusing these concepts in Donbrothers, a season 10 years later, maybe people would appreciate the usages a bit more. And by the looks of it, using these themes does make Donbrothers more interesting and enjoyable.

Every once in a while I'll see something that feels like a nod to Go-Busters. I don't know if red, blue, yellow being special is that unique though, they are primary colors and tend to be a special core team even in groups of five Rangers

I didn't say red, blue and yellow were special in Donbrothers... I just pointed out red because reds who can pull off anything and everything very well are rare, even if reds tend to be extra special in the team.
As for yellow and blue sharing a special bond, I don't think it's that common, as far as I'm aware.

I figured it out. It's not turned on by default for all forums. That's why I was surprised
