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



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!

And we're down to the final four. The Blue pool's been marked by landslide after landslide, but from here on out things are going to get tricky as we match up four of the best Rangers to ever suit up in azure spandex. Up first, a match between once and future Red Rangers.

Voting will last 24 hours.

Will TJ's luck turn around and take him to the finals this time? Or will Sky SWAT him aside on the way to the final round? Which Ranger will reign supreme?

Allez Ranger!

That SWAT pun was awful. I'm voting for TJ because of it.
Unless someone sways me otherwise.

Dang, the semi-finals are going to be brutal. The two '2nd-in-command' blues are paired up against each other and the two 'tech support' blues are paired up. Interesting.

Both T.J. and Sky are competent rangers. One has formal police training, the other has 'on the job' training. Powerwise, both are pretty evenly matched and both a short and long range weapon. Sky can go SWAT and spam lasers but TJ's astro blaster can split in two, also giving him dual lasers.

I honestly don't know which to go with.

TJ.
Sky has the training, but TJ has that smile, and, as we established, having more guns doesn't make you the best candidate. TJ is charismatic, he's energetic, he's brave, when given a new set of powers and wasn't picked as Red, he didn't throw a tantrum like Sky.

Additionally, Sky had a huge problem working with a team. He's a solo player and he's sexist.

I'm voting for TJ because, in the long run, TJ was just better. He may not have the SWAT blaster, but he does have a flying car.

Considering the weaponry of SPD, why would a military-trained marksman make for a good swashbuckling swordsman?

TJ has training with a sword, Billy has his Power Lances and gun/sword sidearm and Flynn has his Nitro Saber/Blaster.

And now I wish I could change my vote.

You see, you've described "Beginnings" Sky if he had SWAT mode. At the end of S.P.D., Sky had learned to swallow his pride and accept his color and rank, as well as get over his sexism and learn the value of teamwork. He grew into a capable leader, which is why he was promoted to Red Ranger (and eventually Commander of S.P.D.'s Earth base). Sky is a competent and willing Ranger, taking his duties and responsibilities very seriously. His additional strength and firepower helps, too.

[Sentai]

Yea. I hate both these two, so I'm out this round.

I wasn't sure, but this point swayed me.
