Odotai Sentai Auraman (黄道帯戦隊オーラマン Ōdōtai Sentai Ōraman, translated as Zodiac Squadron Auraman) is a fanfictional Super Sentai series. Like Maskman, Dairanger, & Gekiranger, this season's theme is on martial arts & Qi, this time mixed with the Chinese Zodiac.
Synopsis[]
Everybody knows that Confucius, China’s first professional teacher & greatest moral & social thinker, was entrusted by the heavens with a sacred mission as a champion of the good & true. Among his myriad descendants, the House of Odotai, a family made up of Japanese & Chinese heritage, were top-notch in carrying on that mission
During the first millennium, on one New Year's Eve, an evil alien force appeared on Earth. The 12 members of the House of Odotai received incredible powers which allowed them to call upon the animals of the Chinese Zodiac & become Auramen. They seemingly drove the invaders out of Earth, when in reality they remained on the planet, feeding on wild animals & gaining their attributes, becoming stronger. Nevertheless, since then the family tradition has continued to be practiced in case they were ever to face these creatures again. Whenever a family member dies or chooses to retire, the next member who was born in that same year will take his or her place.
In the present day, five of the current generation of Auramen will face the creatures, along with a rogue member of the House of Odotai, possessing the spirit of the Cat, bent on eliminating his own relatives.

Episodes[]
Trivia[]
- This series is similar to Kamen Rider Ryuki due to the following:
- There is a total of thirteen rangers (if you count Cat Senshi).
- Each of the Auramen possess their own personal partner, making it similar to Go-Busters.
- The powers that each of the Auramen possess seem to be based on the Talisman powers in the animated series Jackie Chan Adventures.
