Ultimate Ranger Team Tournament - Sixth Division Grand Finals
 

Let’s play a game: The Gokaiger adaptation isn’t season two of Megaforce, it’s a brand new series with a brand old cast. The six Rangers are all returning characters from previous Ranger teams, gathered together to face off against the most powerful evil ever. But which six Rangers? That’s where this tournament comes in.

We’re going to cast this team with the very best Red Ranger, very best Pink Ranger, very best Blue Ranger, very best Yellow Ranger, very best Grack/Bleen Ranger, and very best Sixth Ranger.

The current team consists of:

Red Ranger: Carter Grayson
Yellow Ranger: Lily Chilman
Blue Ranger: TJ Johnson
Pink Ranger: Jen Scotts
Green Ranger: Adam Park

The rules are simple: the Rangers of each color fight it out to see which one stands at the top of their personal section of the rainbow. The winners will be determined by popular vote, feel encouraged to explain your choices to help sway the undecided. Fights are all-out brawls – any power-up or weapon is permitted, short of the Zords.

Battles are decided by random selection and each character is represented for each of their colors (Rocky and TJ are in both Red and Blue, Tommy is in Red and Sixth, etc.). Rangers with multiple powers in the same color will be using the ones which are most unique to them (Adam is Zeo Green, Cassie is Space Pink, etc. – yes, this kinda shafts the Turbo Rangers, I know – all three Turbo fans are free to register their complaints). All major teams are represented, MMPR through Megaforce. Evil Rangers like the Psychos and A-Squad - as well as one-shot Rangers like Cat or SPD Red Bridge - are excluded.

Now that we’ve got that covered, Let’s Morphing!

It's been a long ride - we started this project back in April, for crying out loud - but we're finally at the end. There's one Ranger left to go on the ultimate team and now it's time to decide once and for all who the ultimate Sixth Ranger will be.

On one side we have the very first Sixth Ranger - a skilled martial artist, a veteran field commander, and a mentor and inspiration to a younger team.

On the other we have a Ranger who admittedly only qualified for this round due to there being no better place for him. Still, he's a master of kung fu, a calm and collected mentor to his own team, and a man with enough technical know-how to design and build his team's morphers.

Tommy "See me; feel me; touch me; SIH-AIYAAAA!!" Oliver

Voting will last 24 hours.

Will a loving wave of nostalgia carry Tommy to victory? Will the backlash against said nostalgia give RJ the edge? Which Ranger will reign supreme?

For the final time:

Allez Ranger!

A doctorate in archaeology is not going to help you in battle unless you're fighting a sphinx. This is not that battle. This is super-powered human being vs. super-powered human being. In terms of powers, R.J. and Tommy are evenly matched. However, I believe that R.J.'s superior intellect gives him the advantage. In addition to being a literal master of one of the most powerful forms of martial arts (being one out of 11), R.J.'s quick thinking and calm demeanor would allow him to make decisive and rational choices on the field of battle that would allow him to win.

I am going to school you in why Rj deserves this. While you tell me I'm only hating on Tommy.

RJ did something Tommy has never done throughout his years as White Ranger. And remember, this is Tommy has White Ranger Only. He had his chance has Zeo Red, Turbo Red, and Dino Thunder Black. RJ led his team. He made each invidual member of his team better. He inspired them, he trained them, he fought along side them instead of doing the fighting for them.
His aloof Zen, his Mastery of Martial Arts, his Command of the Wolf Spirit, his Skill as a Leader, all combine to make him better than Tommy in this part of the tournament.

If I were to vote, I'd pick RJ. Since people believe JDF to be the "face" of power rangers, just let him automatically be the American AkaRed.

Ooh... I like this idea.

That idea could have just solved every problem the 6th ranger tournament had. Make tommy the american akared by default to have had more fair match-ups.

Why can't PR have an AkaRed? Or...

Or an AkaTeam?

I think I have a theory on Dairanger's purpose in being in PRSM!

There was someone online that suggested that the Dairangers were the original rangers who sealed Rita Repulsa away.

that actually makes sense.

You took the words right outta my mouth. Sure Tommy did stuff but I think RJ will be better suited for the 6th slot.

EDIT: Also after hearing about JDF only saying that this is only a MMPR 20th I feel that one of the stronger Disney era Rangers will work out for the best here. Nothing against Jason, but we do want the cream of the crop here, right?

Actually, mine was "The White Ranger powers were a conglomerate of the primal Morph energies, and said energies have physical manifestations (Dairanger suits). Zordon made the Tiger Power Coin with their assistance. And Zordon knew of them before crafting the White Ranger Powers because he had already met them when they supplied the Thunderzord's 'Power of Thunder.'"

And Zordon never spoke of this because of some random deus ex machina.

Here's the thing that confuses me. I figured for the fight part of this Tommy is only using his Green/White powers but are we actually pulling Tommy from the past if he makes this team or is just this post-DT using these powers? That was never really made clear in this. Like would characters from future time lines have knowledge that could help about the events of this team?

Secondly, I've seen this whole thing as not just who would win in a fight since a lot of these guys would probably be evenly matched but as who would fit better on this team. As in who would be the best Gokai Silver. Anyway, I think Tommy was best for Grack and all this could have been avoided. I haven't seen Jungle Fury but from what I've heard here and the little bit I read RJ seems a bit more active than a typical sixth (more like the Thunder Ninjas). Don't know where else would have gone with his color. Personally I would have liked to see Ryan in the final cause then I would have an actual choice to make.

Yeah, but in schoolyard antics on "what would happen if Lincoln and his cyborg army flew F-15s to battle Ninjas on zombie Dinosaurs," logic isn't neccesary.

Fixed.All kidding aside,I couldn't agree more.Not only do all these reasons add up to why I think RJ is better,but because RJ is also better fit for the team that's been picked so far.They need a calm,cool,relaxed head in there.Carter is extremely gung-ho and takes too many risks,Jen is super bossy,Lily is used to RJ so she could support his calls,it just makes sense.

That being said,I have nothing against Tommy.Like I said before,I just think he was better qualified to win Grack because he had way more experience and knowledge under his belt at that point (Power too).I just think that during his Green/White Ranger days,he wasn't that great of a leader.He was honestly more of a follower/auxiliary weapon.Everytime a plan was made,it was by one of the regular 5 MMPR and Tommy just agreed and said "Let's go guys!"

Wait, when was it announced that the Dairangers would be in Super Megaforce?

about 2 days ago.

Way to pay attention :lol

So I'll just choose to think he has the the experience but not the powers lol.

I just got Internet installed in my house yesterday. Whatever Internet access I got before that I used to read Hearts of Plastic. :lol

That's not how this works :eyebrow

He's in has the White Ranger. Which means he only has the experience and abilities he had when he had those powers.

I swear, if Tommy wins, I am going to call a complete redo of this poll (meaning start this whole thing over) and exclude Tommy.

Maybe I missed the rule that clearly and explicitly stated something like that. Seems it has been mostly on the fly and people decide what does or doesn't go based on what they prefer. All it says is "Rangers with multiple powers in the same color will be using the ones which are most unique to them." Would just mean Tommy is using Green/White powers. That's why I asked if there was some pulling people from the past or not because it isn't stated or implied. Not much an issue since most Rangers didn't last more than one season and their team up. Would be silly to me to pull Tommy as 6th or Jason as Red and not have them grown up and mature when joining this team. We are assuming every other ranger has aged. Then again Tommy will be green and white in Super Megaforce. The point was that a lot about this whole thing is subjective even though people are trying to make it black and white. Saying that "soandso would 100% beat whatshisname in a fight" doesn't make it scientific fact. People have their opinions and interpretation of how things would go down that is why nearly every character has gotten at least some votes.



Seems pretty obvious he isn't going to win here. Only people to blame for the way 6th went down are the ones that voted against him in Grack. I would have preferred to see the 6th rounds without him.

This Poll has nothing to do with Super Megaforce x . x

No, I just running with that one. Still, in a year it would get pretty confusing wouldn't it?

Keep in mind, though, that this is where Cruger was a couple rounds ago at about this time and he still lost. Never count Tommy out.

Was it? I thought it was leading early in that one. I guess it depends on who shows up to vote. This one could take a little longer if it does get close but I am sure people will want it called on time if Tommy is losing.

Wait until tomorrow afternoon.That was about the time Kruger got buried.

I vote we DQ Tommy, make him AKARed, and redo the Grand Finals with Kruger and RJ.

Is it wrong that an image of a yellow Lab and the words "Old Yeller" popped into my head when I read that?

Yeah. Kruger had the lead for the first 15-20 votes. Then Tommy voters swooped in during the final 12 hours and Kruger lost.
Tommy's gonna take it. An early lead means nothing (Both Kruger and Eric had early leads on Tommy and lost in the end).

Seriously, are we gonna add RJ to the group instead of Tommy?

I'd take a baked potato instead of Tommy.
Not because I dislike Tommy.
But because I love spite.

I would've said I love baked potatoes :lol

Yes.

I do love me a good baked potato :lol

sounds like a good idea.

Yes, because R.J. is infinitely superior.

Well, I did disqualify Hero Getter for my ending theme tourney due to its advanced popularity.

But that was my tournament and I had all the right to do that. This is Switchblade's, and he has all the right to conduct it as he pleases.

No one ever said this was exclusively MMPR era Tommy, so I'm voting for Tommy as White/Green in modern time because of Megaforce. RJ doesn't have a chance versus that guy.
