Biography
Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger (騎士竜戦隊リュウソウジャー, Kishiryū Sentai Ryūsōjā) is a Japanese tokusatsu television series and the 43rd entry of Toei's long-running Super Sentai series, following Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger and succeeding the four week special Super Sentai Strongest Battle. Despite its first episodes being filmed and aired in the last days of the Heisei era, it is officially considered the first series of the franchise from the Reiwa era. It is the fourth Super Sentai to utilize the motif of dinosaurs, having been preceded by Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger (and Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger Brave), as well as the first to utilize the motif of knights.
The show premiered on March 17, 2019, joining Kamen Rider Zi-O, followed by Kamen Rider Zero-One in the Super Hero Time line-up on TV Asahi affiliate stations, making it the first Super Sentai series to not debut in February since Gekisou Sentai Carranger. Ryusoulger began airing in South Korea on August 2019 as Power Rangers Dino Soul during its airing.
Story
65 million years ago, the knights of the Ryusoul Tribe were selected to participate in a war campaign against the dictating Druidon Tribe who sought to rule Earth. But the Druidon's war campaign was halted by the meteor that brought the age of the dinosaurs to an end, forcing them to flee into space. Meanwhile, the Kishiryu were placed in a deep sleep as a failsafe should the Druidon return. The chosen knights choose to live in peace while passing their mantle down across generations. In the present day, the Druidon return to reclaim Earth as the current generation of knights, the Ryusoulgers, battle them with the support of Ui Tatsui and her father Naohisa Tatsui.
