I know Sentai LOVED some of the battelizers, going so far as incorporating them into some of the movies so that's one influence. Any others?
Power Rangers has also influenced "power-down" sequences in sentai. Before when a ranger in sentai would revert to civilian form there would just be a generic flash on screen or the next shot would show the the ranger out of costume. Thanks to the detailed and flashy Power-down sequences (I believe we got around PRiS), sentai has added more effects and detail to those scenes.
Speaking of, the current henshin sequences screen ratio (since Hurricanger) could have been influneced by Power Rangers. From 2002, sentai henshin sequences have been built around the idea that mutliple rangers will be changing on screen at the same time. They create the entire sequence with a ratio that will allow mutliple rangers to be on screen with no need to squeeze the footage or have red transform and the other four in split screen (although they are doing it with Gokaiger, I'm sure they can easily make it a five-person split screen). Power Rangers started doing simultaneous morphs since PRLG, but not in the same fashion as sentai, and they don't create the morphs with the idea that their will be multi-ranger morph on screen, as RPM has shown.
