No, please no. green Ninninger was bad. Very bad. She's as bad as female red Shinkenger (literally, the worst red ranger in Sentai). Though, I wouldn't mind a female red since I have no attachment to the color whatsoever but green should stay male.
Blue is considered a boy's color but there's a lot of female blue rangers. Green can take blue's place.

I just think we should drop the idea that any colour relates to a gender, but that's just me.

I do too. But part of me just had to put that out there.

You know, you said a while back that purple is a female color. You do know that purple is an OLD color for MALE royalty in Israel (or was it just Rome?), right? So by your logic of gender oriented colors, purple should be a male color. As should pink, since at one point it was the closest color peasants could get to red for their boys in medieval times because red was a color primarily for royalty.

Ok. I knew it was, but for some reason my mind went straight to Israel and Rome. I can tell you why but I won't because it's unrelated to this subject.

I think LiamLee is being ridiculous, and a little misogynist. Colors shouldn't be relegated to particular sexes, and I don't think Kaoru Red was a bad plot device at all. The final plot twist (i.e. how Takeru regained leadership) was a brilliant moment, heh.
In general, I associate Sentai Black with tough, cool characters (sometimes strongmen like Gosei Black or Gao Black). If a theoretical future female Sentai Black was Wonder Woman-esque ass kicker, I would have zero problems with it.

Also, misogynist isn't really the best adjective to describe my post since I'm being fair to both genders (or unfair to both genders depending if you look at the glass half-empty or half-full). Women should be purple and pink since these colors are often associated with femininity. Men should be green (replacing blue), black and red in my opinion. Yeah, I know I said I don't care if there's a female red but remembering female ShinkenRed left me a bad taste in my mouth. Other colors can be shared. And regarding purple being royalty for ancient Rome and Israel and pink being the color of peasants, these were ages ago. Examples should be the present world in Japan, America and other countries that watch Sentai. |

Gao Black was tough or cool? The guy at one point sacrificed his friends for a woman.

Does it mean Toei will switch colors up? No, but that doesn't stop the possibility of other colors. Now, let's get back on topic. This isn't about what we assosicate with a gender, it's about what we would like to see a color a female senshi can be. So let's please move on.

You know one of the commonly considered coolest Sentai characters, Black Condor/Gai?
The literal only reason he joined the Jetmen was to get into Kaori's pants. Everything he did was for a women, you know. I know it's probably not intentional on your part, but you are kind of sounding misogynistic. Purple isn't associated with femininity. It's a gender neutral color that you want to associate with women because it's visually similar to pink. Hell, green isn't necessarily a masculine color. It's associated with nature and can just be as easily worn by a woman. Meanwhile, black and white are accent colors with no sway in either direction, while blue has always been in the middle, with lighter shades being associated with femininity and deeper shades with masculinity, but it's also rather gender neutral.
