Nope. He's just a ranger that's red...

... You see the problem with this logic?

He's not a Red Ranger.

I knew you couldn't count Sentai, but I didn't know you were also color blind.

PS If leadership is the problem, Quantum was more a leader than Alien Red or Rocky.

Eric's awesomeness transcends all colors of spandex.

Yes he is. Honestly, there's only two items on the Red Ranger checklist.
Suit is red?
Is he a ranger?
The Quantum Ranger checked both of them. If you wanted team leaders, then you could argue against him (And Aurico wouldn't have been included since the White Alien Ranger was their leader).

mmpr red to mf red base on zyured to gosei red in sentai

I never said all of Forever Red Was awesome. Just the morphing sequence.

One of my favs is duing the power ranhers time force ep when wes busts his helmet and his dad see his face before he runs headlong into a sea on foot soilders duing the end of the first part of the finally.

Probably Forever Red. Seeing that when I was seven just blew my mind. Seeing all of the red rangers (of course I was confused about the Red Aquetian Ranger and TJ being Turbo Red), seeing the Beetleborgs which I loved as a kid, it just blew my mind and made me mark out. Even today when I watch it, I still have those mark out moments.

Jayden vs. Deker, it's basically to red rangers fighting to the death. How awesome is that?
