The long-running Japanese superhero franchise Super Sentai will reportedly end with its currently-airing series, Number One Sentai Gozyuger, according to various media outlets on Thursday (Oct 30). The Super Sentai series first launched in 1975 with Himitsu Sentai Gorenger and has been running continuously for 50 years.
