Like Tommy Oliver, the Sentai Green Ranger is considered one of the most iconic and enduring characters of the series, to the point where many would tune in for the character alone. The end result was the same in both English and Japanese: a breakout character who proved popular enough to become the face of the series, return time and time again, and also start a sixth ranger tradition that’s been going strong ever since. What’s more, it was a rogue ranger who tried his best to destroy the main team before converting to the side of good. While the very first for worldwide viewers, Zyuranger came in at number sixteen overseas, yet it was also the first to feature a sixth ranger. With some slight variations, that’s your basic Sentai/PR formula, with the only exceptions being Ranger-ish characters who hang around the main team and do most of the same stuff (a la Magna Defender).Įxcept in Zyuranger (the series that spawned the American Mighty Morphin’ counterpart), the Green Ranger was a ground-breaking event. You’ve got your core team of five, after which the sixth ranger enters the fray, gets their own special storyline, becomes so hyper-competent for a few episodes that he/she makes the rest of the team look like incompetent chimps, and then just sort of settles in for the rest of the series. The addition of a sixth ranger is as old as the hills in Power Ranger lore, being present in every series in some form and pretty much (poorly) lampshaded into oblivion during Megaforce.
