Fantastic sub format for anime.
I wonder why “great” and “sword” need to be Katakana
They transliterated it as English: “Great” being written like “Go Ra To” or something similar instead of using the Kanji 大 pronounced as “Dai”. Same with Sword, they wrote it like “Sa Do” or something, instead of 剣 pronounced as “Ken”.
I know, but why? Not trying to be a hater but why not just use the native words?
Because it sounds like English words which is "cool"
Loanwords

Same reason some English people will use Japanese words? I don't know.
Then why respond?
Eyy I just watched Red Ranger, extremely enjoyable for how stupid it is. I bet I'd have loved power rangers if I watched it as a kid
I watched too much of power rangers on TV as a child.
As a result, I don't find the anime enjoyable.
Even though the premise was fun, I just couldn't tolerate it enough to feel the fun.
