I've watched two Sentai in full (well, one, still working on the other), but this list would be pretty monochrome in any case, so I'll just list one no one else has.
Gokaiger- Gokai Blue/Joe Gibken. Joe is not a pleasant person to be around most of the time. He is stoic, to the point, and does not play games. He flicks his Mobirate open, kicks ass, and goes home. Justice and empathy are for Don, Ahim, and Gai to worry about. He is disciplined and methodical in how he fights, be it with sword or gun (note how he tends to use a two-handed grip with the Gokai Gun as opposed to everyone else using a single-handed grip) and probably the only other tactical thinker on the team after Don, which is fitting given his background as a Zangyak special forces operative. However, if he can be summed up in one word, it is loyalty. Loyalty to his Captain, and loyalty to his crew. He would stand at the backs of, and die for, every last one of them without hesitation, especially in the case of Marvelous, to whom he owes his life. Loyalty to his fallen friend, Sid, who taught him how to fight, and eventually had to kill with his own hands and techniques. He is a person with few friends but an undying dedication to each and every one he has, and by the end of the show, this has grown to encompass all other Sentai. Being former military myself, this is an aspect I both respect and empathize with deeply.

I'm confused. You labeled the thread Ranger, but then listed Sentai and have it in the Sentai forums.
I haven't watched much Sentai the whole way through. Gosei Yellow/Moune Kyoryuger Blue/Nossan That's my list. |

I thought "Ranger" was a universal term that could be used in reference to both Sentai and Ranger members.

Some Sentai snobs like to use "Senshi."

Only meaning it could confuse some members of the forum who are new to either fandom.

But there's still some hipsters out the who refuse to call Sentai members rangers just to distinguish them from Power Rangers. And new fans adopt that kind of weird terminology.
However, the term "Senshi" actually creates more confusion. As it means fighter or soldier, it's such a general term that you could also use it for any kind of super hero (Kamen Riders, Metal Hereos etc.)- also, that one is generally more common to use in the Sailor Moon fandom. If we really need a "less confusing" term, I'd say team member, but even that one could confuse people because usually the team doesn't just consist of Rangers... I think Rangers is perfectly fine to use, Sentai. |
