Juuni Senshi Bakuretsu Eto Ranger
is a 1995 Japanese anime television series. The Eto Rangers are based on the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac.

The Pig ( 豬) or sometimes translated as the Boar is the twelfth of the 12-year cycle of animals which appear in Chinese zodiac, in relation to the Chinese calendar and system of horology, and paralleling the system of ten Heavenly Stems and twelve Earthly Branches.

In Chinese astrology, "zodiacal" animals refer to fixed cycles of twelve animals. The same cycle of twelve is used for cycles of years and cycles of hours. In the case of years, the c ...
