Why the Sixth Rangers are so popular?

jfblade · 06-07-2014, 02:42 AM

The one thing I dislike about sixth ranger, that they sometimes apperaed early like episode 12 or something like that. That shows me how week the team is or the scriptwriters could not making more episode enough for the team or its members like background info or something personal.
But on the another note I really like the sixth ranger, they are unique from the team and they always bring new kind of awesome weapons to the screen

They typically appear around episode 16~18. Kyoryugold is an exception since they got 10 rangers in that show. Plus, if they tried to add more fillers to have him get his debut in episode 16 ish, the show could have been boring for at least a month and the show would have become rage quit material.

When I was a kid I loved sixths as they were so shiny and new and it was so exciting. As an adult I've kinda grown to realise how much a show can rely on a sixth, in good and bad ways.

There are bad shows, where the introduction of a great sixth sparks the show back to life but likewise there are shows with a really great core dynamic which gets thrown totally off by throwing someone else into the mix.

Speaking purely creatively, the role of the sixth is probably the only part of sentai these days which actively involves any kind of experimentation so even when they are bad I normally appreciate them on the base level of trying something new.

The reason of why they put Sixth Rangers in every Super Sentai (or some) shoe because Power Rangers wouldn't be successful with kid if wasn't for Tommy Oliver the sixth ranger

Now! List your favorite Sixth Ranger design.

My favorite is

Bouken Silver. Because it look badass suit. Look at the helmet! It look awesome! and I thought a detector become a gun is a badass way. I love how Black and Silver go well together.

My runner Up

Shinken Gold. His design is so unique than other Shinkenger. I admitted that his first sort is kindly irony because his animal is squid.

My other favorite

ToQ 6Gou. His design was better than other ToQger. And his color is Orange and Black. He's Halloween ToQger!

Go-On Wing. Despite being a bad show. The Design is cool-looking and Go-On Silver is first FEMALE sixth ranger.

Dragon Ranger and Shurikenger (TIED) My Favorite is Green and I couldn't pick one of them. Both of them are wearing gold armor!

Magi Shine. He's have a Genie Cat! And he look like more like more muscular than other Magiranger

Deka Break. His color is white?! Great idea. Because he so much different than Dekaranger! And he got a punching style which supposedly pay homage to Kung fu movies

Gokai Silver. His visor is GOLD! He is the first ranger to have GOLD visor!

Gosei Knight. He not Human or Angel. He is a non-human! And I love the chest design!

Gao Silver. He's from a thousand year and he manage to play pool without having problem. That's Crazy idea!

Kibaranger. I agree with someone. I love his talking sword and his design look badass than Dairangers

Abare Killer. He is so evil but yet badass and his visor is RED!! RED!

Kingranger. He's got a chest design that look so BIG! and his zord is Pyramid from Egypt!

Kyoryu Gold. He's the only member who is from SAMURAI WARRING STATES!!!

My Runner up of Least Favorite

Time Fire. Despite being a badass warrior. His design is so lazy. It look same as Time Red but they put arrow on his helmet. Really? Bandai?! Really?!

My Least-Favorite (AND THE WORST DESIGN OF SIXTH RANGER EVER!)

Mega Silver. It look same as Megaranger! It lazy design! He doesn't look like SIXTH RANGER!!

My favorite: Dragonranger. The one and only.

Runner-up: Timefire. Watch his debut battle.

My other favorite: Gokaisilver. Shows fanboys and fangirls dreams do come true. :P

Honorable mention: X-1 Mask. He was the foundation for all this madness.

6th rangers became so common after 2000 because Timeranger did so well since the show was very popular. The only post-2000 Sentai shows without 6th rangers is Gekiranger and Go-Busters. 6th rangers always go for the anti-hero role and end up being good. Same goes with secondary riders in Kamen Rider.

I don't view X-1 Mask as a sixth ranger since he was only in one episode from what I can remember. I do view Big One as the early 6th ranger. He's not a official 6th ranger, but he comes pretty close in my opinion.

Was there an episode of Gokaiger where they showed every sixth ranger on screen at one time without the other rangers?

I think they did once but really short.

The Sixth Ranger slot is usually for the "Sempai", or "Older Brother" ranger. Or, "Red ranger, but cooler..."
