The show succeeded Mashin Sentai Kiramager, joining Kamen Rider Saber, and later, Kamen Rider Revice in the Super Hero Time line-up on TV Asahi on March 7, 2021. The show's name comes from the titular team's catchphrase, "Zenryoku Zenkai" (全力全開, lit. "full throttle").[2][3] A direct sequel, titled Avataro Sentai Donbrothers, aired following the finale.[4]

One month ago, a strange phenomenon suddenly fused the human world with the parallel world of Kikaitopia, who had previously conquered and sealed off various universes, including those of the previous 44 Super Sentai. Despite this, humans and Kikainoids quickly get along and live peacefully together.
In the present, however, their lives are threatened by Kikaitopia's evil rulers, the Tozitend Dynasty, who seek to conquer all parallel worlds. To face this new threat, a brave and energetic young man named Kaito Goshikida inherits the powers of all previous Super Sentai. Transforming into Zenkaizer, he joins forces with the Kikainoids Juran, Gaon, Magine, and Vroon to save the multiverse from Tozitend and find Kaito's missing parents as the Zenkaigers. The conflict later intensifies with the arrival of the World Pirates. Led by Zocks Goldtsuiker, who can transform into Twokaizer, the World Pirates oppose Tozitend in pursuit of their own objectives and occasionally ally with the Zenkaigers for the sake of it.

The trademark for the series was filed by Toei Company on September 8, 2020.[5]
According to producer Shinichiro Shirakura, the show's diversity in its titular members, featuring a human and four Kikainoids, is due to the Super Sentai series' recurring themes of diversity in its group of protagonists while maintaining strong characters. The reason why Zenkaizer was chosen as the leader despite being colored white is to ensure that he would stand out in future crossovers when grouped alongside other Red Rangers.[6] The four Kikainoids' ranger form were based on the mecha robot of previous super sentai series. Zenkai Zyuran was based on Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger mecha Daizyujin, Zenkai Gaon was based on Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger mecha robot Gao King, Zenkai Magine was based on Mahō Sentai Magiranger mecha Magi King, Zenkai Vroom was based on GoGo Sentai Boukenger mecha DaiBouken. Although Zenkaiger is open to the idea of featuring past heroes in certain episodes, Shirakura mentioned that it will not be done in a similar way to Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger.[7] As members of the Zenkaigers combine to form the series' mecha, ZenkaiOh, the original plan was for their combined forms to appear human-sized at first, but as the show needed to keep up with the toy releases, this idea was scrapped and eventually implemented in the sequel series Avataro Sentai Donbrothers through the titular group's mecha, Don Onitaijin.[8]
After series voice actor Tatsuhisa Suzuki chose to go on hiatus, his role as Gege was rendered voiceless between episodes 21 and 25.[9] Toei later announced Masaya Fukunishi will take over the role of Gege from episode 25 onward.
Reception
Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger is ranked 19th place in the 2021's "100 Internet Buzzwords" in Japan, held by Nico Nico Pedia and Pixiv Encyclopedia. The physical award is given to Toei's producers of the series, Shinichiro Shirakura, Naomi Takebe, Kōichi Yada and Akihiro Fukada during the award ceremony on December 15, 2021.[10]
