Clip from short-lived early Sentai/Power Rangers ancestor JAKQ Dengekitai. JAKQ’s gimmick was that their costumes and weapons were all playing-card themed. Specifically, Nintendo playing cards show up a lot in this show. It only makes sense, given that Nintendo was the leading playing-card company in Japan, and thus probably the most widely available.

Even so, there was probably some kind of promotional relationship going on here. Look how awesome and powerful the show makes Nintendo cards seem! I totally want some. Also, I am in love with the music, and the first person to find me some JAKQ background music wins.

OMGNintendo has a great writeup of the JAKQ Dengekitai episode from which this clip was taken.
