恐竜戦隊ジュウレンジャー Dinosaur Squadron JyuRanger
The Zyu is pronounced Jyuu, and it means beasts. It's spelled with a z because it's based on old, antiquated romanization rules.

Baaza, who had been watching over the sleeping volunteers, sees Bandora and her minions terrorizing the people, and awakens the five warriors placed to sleep 170 million years ago to fight Bandora with the power of the Guardian Beasts as the Kyouryuu Sentai ZyuRanger.
