Man that's brilliant. 🤣 Can we get that name for the 45th anniversary? Please???

I imagine it's as simple as "hero who works with the team but who doesn't appear out of costume in the opening credits." (Yes, I realize this is a really old thread.)

Also I think they obviously need to not be a ranger. Like Gekiranger/Jungle Fury for instance: Violet/White are Extra Rangers while Black & Green are Extra Heroes.

Well, I mean...

I just follow Sentai's convention. Core, sixth, additional rangers, and extra heroes.
A good example is Magiranger/Mystic Force. The core 5, gold ranger for sixth, White is an additional ranger, and Wolzard/Koragg is an extra hero.

Started Magi a few days ago and have only streamed 9 of them. Also Aba (Outburst) Ranger of which streamed 12.

Magi is pretty decent.

I think it also tends to be a factor for me whether or not they are actually a human or whatever that transforms into their suit, I mean characters that are just a suit with no actual actor have always put me off with Stag Buster and Shurikenger being an exception!

If I may, Magi Shine is a tsuika/additional, Magi Mother and Wolzard Fire are bangai/extra.

This is only a few steps away from being as bad as 'secondary rider' debates.

While we are on the subject here is a list I compiled based on lists by Japanese sites and wiki pages. I will admit a couple are debatable when deciding Tsuika Senshis, Hurricaneger and Kyuranger in particular. But thoughts?
