Crunchyroll has recently been adding Ultraman shows to their collection; apparently someone asked them at a con about Super Sentai or Kamen Rider and apparently the reason they haven't licensed any of those is that they'd have to deal with Saban.
I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
I'm sure Saban does everything in his power to keep that stuff from coming stateside, at least officially
Power Rangers is his crown jewel (he want so far as to snatch it back from Disney for a fraction of what Disney paid for it - it did come along with the rest of Fox Family Worldwide, but still)
I suspect from Crunchyroll's side it's more that they'd probably have to deal both with Toei and with Saban in order to get the rights and the footage and that costs money, etc.
