I haven't seen the show in a while, but I remember liking what I saw. It wasn't that great, but it was fun to watch.

Aside from the pretty designs, I really like the characters a lot. They're fun to watch and I really like the team's take on a family dynamic. The comedy is somewhat entertaining- while I don't like every joke, I'm usually having fun. The only thing that I really miss is more plot, but then again, older Sentai weren't as intense as well.

I like Ninninger because it is a crazy mess of a show; every trope or design theme that has ever been used is being used again. The ninja competition that is in the background of the plot is cool and it gives each character a reason to get better (and every member has gotten better). I also enjoy that the ranger with the most development so far is Momo Ninger Kasumi. There has never been any other sentai where the pink ranger has gotten this much development, this early in the season. The show is taking a weird approach to everything and that is what keeps me coming back. I sit and wonder how they are going to do things and what crazy spin they are going to put on it. And the show is bright and fun; my daughters enjoy watching it with me.

I like Ninninger because it seems to go back a bit and take influence from older shows, like the higher presence of practical effects and the opening theme, for example. I also find all the characters entertaining, with Blue and Star being my favorites.

Yeah, the more practical effects especially in the action scenes are what the crew takes pride in when they talk about Ninninger. Though I generally think the action feels a lot more energetic since Kyoryuger.

What if we have a blend between megaranger and bioman ?

Why can't I rewatch Gekiranger?
What? I can? AWESOME!
Should watch Dai, though...

Anyway, do you guys follow Gokaiger's "Official" declaration of who is a sixth, who is an extra, and who is an "Other" ranger?

Ok... I keep watching the gif you put up Matrix. And I'm guessing the first group is extra, the second group of other, and the third is 6th.

It's about right (I'd slow it down, but that's how fast it actually appears in series, annoyingly >>), but I'm curious if you follow those statements as fact, or do you have your own classifications for certain characters (Like Blue Centurian/Signalman as 6th rather than other, or GoseiKnight as Other rather than 6th?)

Personally I always thought that if they weren't human, with the exception of rangers, that they were other. Extra rangers were ranger beyond the 6th or weren't part of the actual team but helped when necessary. And sixth is...well duh.


Blue Centurian/Signalman, GoseiKnight, and the such are other. Pretty much anybody in DekaRanger after DekaBreak without a number is an extra. Rio and Melee from Geki are extra. Catching my drift on that part? As for sixth...well those are usually part of the team or actually join the team to a greater extent but may remain individual, such as Magna Defender (I can't remember his Sentai name) and TimeFire.

That all makes sense, though Sentai classes Rio and Mele as Other rather than extra.

Eh. Oh well. That was just my classification. Part of me didn't really even know whether to classify them as extra or other. I just went off what I saw from clips and read.

I count Gosei Knight as a sixth, he was the sixth member of the team, had his own mech and gattai, and his introduction and loner mentality fits the mold of a sixth.

GoseiKnight is canonically a 6th, but it would be no problem to classify him as an Extra or even Other because he is SO different from the main team. He is even presented alone on many occasions, while usually, the sixth rangers are closer to their team.

No, not really. A sixth ranger is the SIXTH member of the team. So cases of AbareKiller being considered a sixth are BS to me. As for some of the other characters there, it's hard to decide. Part of me thinks that because of Power Rangers that maybe they just decided to throw them in. But then again Gai did sort of need the extra keys to use. So I'll say probably no, but I understand why.

Risking starting this argument again, in my mind Gosei Knight is an Other. Not a sixth. To me a Sixth has to physically transform.

Which is why I will defend to the death that is AbareKiller/Dino Thunder White is a sixth, then GekiChopper/JungleFuryRhino is as well. Same attributes go to both, but one is considered a sixth. Never understood that.

I never understood why AbareKiller was considered 6th when he was ultimately a 5th. Yet GekiChopper was in the same position but considered a part of the core 5. It makes no sense.

Headder to humanoid ;) :lol

Yeah, that's the bit I don't quite understand either.

I agree that Abare Killer should not be a sixth. His morpher is the same as the rest of the core team, but him having a shield sets him apart. Maybe because he was evil for so much of the show (like how Dragon Ranger started as being evil before turning good)

Abarekiller is always the one that muddies the issue, with other 3 man teams gaining additional members being core (Liveman, Go-On (Until their actual 6ths), Geki, etc).

Not what I meant.

What if we have another technological sentai powered by mystical powers ?

I know, I was kidding around ;)

A theory on him is either AbareMax or "AbarePink". Both appeared before Killer actually joined the team. Additionally, his suit is different in style than the rest of the core Abaranger. AbareBlack is also technically different, but no so much as Killer.

But isn't AbareMax just Abared's upgraded form (Haven't read up much on Abaranger)?
Pink is just a joke character, while Black is treated as part of the core team.

AbareMax however is simply Red's power up. It isn't even about how different the suits are or if he has a different henshin. The core criteria for being a sixth ranger is to be the SIXTH ranger to join the team/appear. Killer is the fifth. Why does AbarePink not count? Because it was a joke for an episode and done to show Emiri's parents that she could handle herself while being alone.

It could be good or it could be bad. What are you asking here?

Why do dinosaur Sentai always feature a member dying?

Who died in Kyoryuger?

Well except for the team in 100 years later, technically all of them.
Though in the show proper one or three died depending how you look at it.

Didn't Torin? I don't know, I haven't watched.

Torin/KyoryuSilver dies (Intentionally, but still, a death is a death).

For Gokaiger's Abaranger tribute included AbarePink and AbareKiller as Sixth even if it was solely to note the embarrassment of being "AbarePink". That said, it is possible that Pink was included there just to justify Killer as being a viable Sixth. Only Toei can judge for certain why AbareKiller is considered like this. They did pair him with DragonRanger and TimeFire as being the source of Gai's GokaiSilver, and all three died in their respective series. The same kind of Sixth Ranger conjecture is also true for GoseiKnight, as he makes more sense as an Extra Hero. Of note, DekaMaster was the Sixth Dekaranger to appear, but DekaBreak is considered "No. 6" instead with Doggie as an Extra. The Go-On Wings are also, technically speaking, Sixth and Seventh, but are also considered just a dual Sixth (likely for being siblings and because Gai can fuse their powers). I gave a possible reason for AbareKiller, not the Official, Sentai Canon, Approved-by-Toei answer.

Well, Dekaranger at least has the excuse of DekaBreak wearing a VI (Roman 6) on his chest, with Dekamaster bearing 100 on his.

I think the AbarePink appearance in Gokaiger was just for a comedic shout out, not for official acknowledgement, or else White Racer from Carranger (Who I assume used the same joke as AbarePink) should be considered official as well.

Not show related, but I figured this was the best place to ask. I've recently become interested in the vinyl figures BoJ does for each Sentai series, and was wonderin a couple of things.

How long have BoJ been doing these vinyl figures? (like, which series was the first), and have they ever changed size?

I've been thinking about getting a grouping of figures together and creating a team made-up of Rangers from multiple series of SS/PR. With BoA's multitude of scales, and Figuarts being a tad expensive (also lacking a Ranger I would absolutely want), I'm starting to think the vinyls might be the way to go.

Carranger was nothing but comedic. White Racer is something of joke, but a unique one. AbarePink had a "suit", but White Racer has, well, not a full-on suit. She doesn't even have a mask or helmet. Also, the White Racer attire appeared only twice (and worn by two different women). White Racer and AbarePink are both considered unofficial members, but AbarePink was mentioned possibly to account for GokaiPink's quick-changing ability and to justify AbareKiller as Sixth. For more, I would suggest one refers to the P.R. Wikia regarding "Sentai Sixth Ranger" to understand it further. It does attempt to break the confusion down in spots only to make it worse in others.

The point is that they're both just joke characters who bear a suit with similar designs to the actual members. AbarePink isn't Abaranger's 5th, as Abaranger is acknowledged to be a 4 man core team with their "Sixth" (So to speak) as Abarekiller.

We can't have AbarePink be used to justify calling another character their 6th without taking into account White Racer or, even possibly, Shinken Brown.
AbarePink wearing a pink motorcycle helmet doesn't validate her any more as a ranger than White Racer's headband.

White Racer or ShinkenBrown are too different to be legitimate yes (to say nothing of Richard Brown's lack of, well, anything). I considered AbarePink merely because she has a full "suit" and because in the context of the Abaranger tribute in Gokaiger, the team henshin included Ahim as AbarePink and Gai as AbareKiller. AbarePink's overall appearance in Gokaiger is basically superfluous unless one counts Ahim's quick-change in the given episode. I only feel that it was included to A): "wink" at the audience, and B): Try to muddle through the official inclusion of AbareKiller as Sixth while giving Ahim something to change into. Carranger has no genuine Sixth, but Shinkenger does. AbarePink was not meant to be viewed officially, but in that context, I believe the suit was given temporary seriousness which isn't necessarily wrong as they went through with the henshin up until Ahim feels too embarrassed to do anything in it.

I read this a literally went, "Okay so Torin and Burai but who died in Abaranger...never mind I feel stupid now" Thank you for reminding me of these moments in Sentai XD
