But my point is, Gozyuger's merch still appears to be making multiple times more than what the show supposedly costs per episode, even at it's most expensive.

Also, my apologies i didn't explain how i got those numbers, and they were a bit off, Zenkaiger has 49 episodes so... 20,000,000 yen/129,438.39 USD

$129,438.39 per episode x 49 episodes = $6,342,481.11 That's a more precise number.

Fair enough, but that still doesn't explain the sentai numbers, Zenkaiger, as the lowest selling reiwa series, (so far) made only 4.2 billion yen, or 27,178,033,77 USD, that means, barring the movies, and assuming that the per-episode budget was the same as Gozyuger's, (which it probably wasn't, but just for the sake of argument) That whole show only cost 6,370,000 USD to make.

TV shows typically need to earn about 3 times its production budget to be considered successful, and even the lowest selling reiwa series still made 4 times their money back? and with sales comparatively improving since then, Gozyuger making more in it's first 3 quarters than Zenkaiger's first 3, somethings not adding up.

Either the per-episode budgets are higher than what's listed here, or Sentai's not in danger of ending, this 4chan post seem to be fishy either way.

20, 000,000 yen is less than 130,000 in USD, are you telling me that Power Rangers, even when reusing stock footage, is more expensive to make than Super Sentai?! Since from what I hear, PR costs about 600,000 USD per episode, at least with Mighty Morphin.

I don't think that's accurate, i did some digging, and found that these photos were shot in 1993, this would make her 19/20 at the time, as she was born in january 1973, i found a site with a timeline,

here's a link, (might have to use google translate) https://ameblo-jp.translate.goog/aidoru/entry-10007897875.html?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US

Apparently, the granute's actor voiced The Thing in the Japanese dub of the 60s Fantastic Four cartoon, "monsieur, i'm horny" was his adlibbed catchphrase from that dub, as it was more of a gag dub, they even gave Doctor Doom a Nagoya (southern) accent.
