From Unofficial Handbook of the Virtue Universe

Sentai characters, a subset of Tokusatsu heroes, are members of a team of heroes who "transform" or "henshin" in order to use their powers, often using a small device, or "transformation trinket." In most cases, this transformation takes the form of dressing the character instantly in their superhero costume, which often consists of brightly-colored spandex and a face-concealing helmet. Sometimes, extra armor is worn over the regular costume, perhaps for a "powered up" form.

Sentai heroes are often referred to as "Rangers."

Sentai heroes are almost always organized into teams, usually consisting of three, five, or more members (with three as the absolute minimum). Each member of such a team usually has a different color. The hero's costume, and sometimes their attacks, almost always match this color (even when un-transformed). Some teams have different motifs for each member as well (for example, on an animal-themed team, the red ranger might have a lion motif, whereas the blue ranger might have a shark theme, and the yellow ranger might be based on an eagle).
