Ultimate Ranger Team Tournament - Red Quarter-finals Round 1
 

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 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!

Okay, qualifying is over and we have ten Red Rangers left:

1. Jayden
2. Scott
3. Andros
4. Hunter
5. TJ
6. Tommy
7. Wes
8. Conner
9. Carter
10. Jack

After a bit of waffling I've decided to continue with the random pairings, which should give us some nice variety and provide for some exciting match-ups like...

Oh.

Carter "It takes a brave man to wear a motorcycle" Grayson

vs.

Jayden "No, seriously, my ancestors were totally authentic Samurai" Shiba

Voting will last for 24 hours, even though we all know how this is going to end.

Will military technology overpower the ancient abilities of the Samurai? Will form spam beat the raw manliness of shooting things? Which Ranger will reign supreme?

Allez Ranger!

Carter Grayson. Lightspeed Rescue. Red Ranger.

Those ain't lightsabers, so Jayden is gonna have a hell of a time blocking the stream of lasers.

Carter wins this handily. And not because of powers, or what might happen in the fight. But because of who you would want in that fight. Carter is the only one between them I would trust leading a team into a battle.

Plus he's much better looking. And that has to count for something.

Carter, at least his sister didn't come in and save his ass :lol

You're not a fan of Jayden's Bieber cut? But it's so timeless. Ten years from now, that will not even slightly look dated.

Carter.No explanation needed.

No. I promise you, if you show Lightspeed Era Carter and Jayden to women, any woman, they'd choose Carter.

I'd give Jayden a pity vote… but it's Jayden.

Carter he's awesome and non of the lightspeed ranger had any doubts when he was leading the team. Even Ryan when he first joined trusted carter..And that's saying something since 6th rangers has a rusty past before officially joining the team.

Carter, because Carter.
