Sentai are more team-based, so now I just use the more popular term "Extra Ranger" to refer to those beyond the Cores, Sixth and Evil.

Regarding Racles though, yeah, he seemed like a good kid in the past, so there must be something else going on with him other than just being a tyrant king.

For me, "extra" is either someone who is unique to their show or who became a ranger very late. And I agree that Deka Master is "extra". It's just that after Stacey and Don Murasame, it seems to me that such characters will become an obligatory component, like the sixth ones once did. And then they will need their own name to separate them from the real extra rangers. Of course, I'm getting ahead of myself, but still it seems to me that there is a tendency towards this.
