Sooo~o Devil May Cry 5′s production staff made reference to Hurricanger’s Movie.

 Apparently the lead artist for the game hideaki itsuno was a really big fan, and used it as an example in how you create emotionally impactful moments.

Since two Power Rangers actors and a former B-Fighter/Beetleborg are the main Voice Actors of the series for English fans, This got a big laugh out of me. “Why Hurricanger’s movie?  Why is this not a reference to the regular show?” Because the combining artifact they use for the final mech combination is a white-overtoned version of the regular one they get later, owned by a space-faring woman who dresses the same as the girl in the second image–

– and the monster they’re fighting is a dead-ringer for the movie Villain:
