Chouriki Sentai Ohranger (超力戦隊オーレンジャー, Chōriki Sentai Ōrenjā), translated into English as Super-Powered Squadron Ohranger, is a Japanese Tokusatsu television series. It was Toei Company Limited's nineteenth production of its Super Sentai television series. Its footage was used in the American series Power Rangers: Zeo. It is the first Sentai to be used extensively in Power Rangers since Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger, with only parts of Dairanger and Kakuranger being used only for mecha footage or very little Ranger footage. "Oh" (オー, Ō) is a pun on "olé" (オーレ, ōre), "aura" (オーラ, ōra), and the Japanese word for "king" (王, ō). "O.H." was also given as the acronym for "Overtech Hardware", the organization the team is part of, adding to the pun. In the closing credits for Power Rangers: Zeo, the title is romanized as "O Rangers".

Plot

"Only those who have learned the power of the Super-Civilization will be able to save humanity from its greatest crisis: Baranoia, the Machine Empire, which plans to invade the Earth…!"

Six hundred million years ago, Pangaea created a robot named Bacchus Wrath, who turned on his creators. The King Ranger defeated Bacchus Wrath and banished him from Earth. In the year 1999, Bacchus returned to Earth as the ruler of the Baranoia Empire, with the intention of wiping out all human life and bring about machine rule. Chief Counsellor Miura revived super energies that had been born of the lost civilization of Pangaea. With the assembling of pieces of a stone plate uncovered three years previously, the secrets of "Super Power" were revealed. Miura built a pyramid to generate Tetrahedron power in order to allow five UAOH officers to transform into OHRangers.
