Though Mighty Morphin Power Rangers has always been a show aimed at children, the same cannot be said for the original source material. Sure, the Super Sentai series (the franchise of shows whose footage was used to make Power Rangers), is targeted at a younger audience but thanks to cultural differences some of the content wasn’t suitable for American audiences and certain scenes of infamy were never shown. This is a list of some of the adult moments in the original Super Sentai series which never made over to America.
8. Samurai’s Murder Suicide
The female commander of the Nighlok’s back story was much more tragic than the adaptation let on. In the original version, Samurai Sentai Shinkenger she was a woman who was scorned when the man she loved married someone else. Instead of simply getting over it, Dayu decided to she set fire to the place where the wedding was being held and killed herself in the process. Definitely not the kind of thing kids are used to seeing on their weekend mornings.
