i meant in terms of like battle footage. red shouldn't be leading into battle if they arent leader...

Zack for sure.Everyone goes on about how Trip can read minds,but there is a counter for that.It's called Hip hop kido.The whole point behind hip hop kido is it's randomness.All Zack would have to do is think of one move while doing a completely different one.Heck when he's doing hip hop kido he's probably just thinking of music.And that leads me to my other point as to why Zack would win.

Not only did he create a new martial arts style,but he created a new successful martial arts style.Heck he started teaching classes based on it during the series.

I just went with Trip because the arguments for him were much more convincing.

Zack, always the Zack man.

4 being higher than 3 aside, it's never really clear.
Since "being second in command" merely equated to who gets to say "its morphin time" in the early seasons, the problem with Zeo is they all get to say it pretty frequently, even Kat and Tanya.

There are episodes where it seems like Rocky and others where its Adam. It tends to lean toward Adam more with fans simply because 4 > 3 and he's the one who gets to drive the Red Battlezord when Tommy is absent that one time.

Tommy was Zeo Ranger 5, so Adam being 4 makes better sense being the second in command.
Was it really SPD the first that solidly set blue as 2nd?

It all depends really, later seasons really mixed up squads by having multiples of the same colour or smaller core squads or whatever else, I just don't think colours denote roles in as such a clear cut fashion as many like to say it does.

Yeah.
I'm curious to know where the mentality that Blue being second in command came from, though.

Since it's either do it now or wait until I get home from work at 11, I'm calling this round for Zack. First quarter-final will be up shortly.

Fuck!
