A-Squad Red was a minor villain and Lauren's role as the red ranger, like in Shinkenger, was meant to act as a plot point for the finale rather than be a focus from the start.

Cosmic Fury's our first series to have a female red ranger from the start who is also a main character.

Samurai/Shinkenger came closest with their female red, but PR still ended up beating Toei to the punch without any technicalities this time.
