Because it happened in Shinkenger and Kobayashi wrote that too. That's literally the only connection.

Yeah Shinkenger was the only time she introduced another actual red ranger to "replace" the old one. A thing she does in all of her toku shows though is introducing some form of second red character either in the show itself or in one of the movies.

The way things are going, I think we're more likely to see Zed as some twisted version of ToQ #1 ala Dark Red Buster than a literal second red.

I hope neither happen to be honest though. It'd be nice to see her be less predictable than that.

With this show we have a pretty good chance of that not happening.

She already didnt use her common sixth ranger trope with Akira.

If we get any additional rangers I'm hoping for a violet ranger just to complete the rainbow motif.

We already have pink- and pink isn't even a rainbow color.

Pink is a stand in for the actual color violet. Indigo would be the purple ranger we're all hoping for, some people are just using the term violet based on precedent. As is a "ToQ 7/Indigo/Purple" it's the only piece of the spectrum missing

ToQ 1- Red
ToQ 6- Orange
ToQ 3- Yellow
ToQ 4- Green
ToQ 2- Blue
??? - Indigo/Purple
ToQ 5- Violet/Pink

TicketQGer is the best 6th member EVER.

I also liked that guy that made everyone wet.

Gotta ask. Has there ever been an Orange before in Sentai? I can't remember.

Battle Cossack and Deka Swan had orange coloured suits :D

What do you mean "her common sixth ranger trope"?

Anyway. I want another Red Ranger! I would love to see Zed as Evil Red Ranger! And I want a REVELATION for Right! Revelation will give Red Ranger difficult challenge to face with and must become serious with.

Yasuko Kobayashi always have Revelation for Red Ranger starting with Timeranger. That's make her famous for it.
