"Nin'ninger" sounds like something from the Boondocks that I'm not allowed to say in public.

Ninjas close to Dinosaurs? It checks out. Also Saban Brands' guys will be happy, as apparently they don't see TOQger as adaptable (and I can see why); and again, it might be that we will get no PR adaptation for what's between Dinos and Ninjas. Heh.

Sentai is for an Asian audience, primarily Japanese. I doubt that racial slur carries much weight over there.

Saban was always going to rename this something instantly forgettable, like Ninja Force or even worse, Power Rangers Ninja.
