I got to thinking that someimes the designs don't alway reflect the quality of the show. Some shows are way better than their designs and others worse. After a quick search I realized there hasn't been a thread on what the best Ranger suit designs are.

So I have to ask, what do you think are the Ranger suit designs? Let's make this a top 5 or 10, whichever you feel like. To help you get started, here's a Gokaiger poster showing almost all teams (missing 6ths, specials, Gobusters, and Kyouryuger)

I'll have to think a bit on mine, until then have at it.

It's kinda hard to do this without a whole ton of bias, but I'll go from the best down.
1. GoGo V
2. Magiranger
3. Dekaranger
4. Jetman
5. Megaranger
Oh, and that poster proves that Gokaiger is a travesty; not one of them got the badass GoGo V salute right. 0 points.

Hey mods, could one of you merge this with this thread:

I forgot to do a search for "favorite" and overlooked it.




PS Not a lot of love for Showa, which is to be expected.

This is an almost impossible task. My list may very well change in the future, but here's what I have:

1) Gokaiger - Hands down my favorite designs. For me, everything about it is perfect and sums up good Sentai design as a whole. Truly representative of the standard Super Sentai aesthetic.

2) Magiranger/Magiranger Legend - If you'd told me they would do wizard Rangers with capes I'd think it was impossible before Magiranger. Not only have they succeeded, the designs are coherent and beautifully executed. Best part of the designs are the black stripes forming a vague "M" that runs all the way to the boots.

Also, Magiranger Legend is undoubtedly the best-looking super mode ever, bar none. Coherent compared to other super modes, with a super weapon that actually expands on the wizard motif and improves on the core weapon. Man this series is just chock full of good design.

3) Zyuranger - Perhaps a bit biased due to being the suit design I associate most with Power Rangers/Super Sentai as a whole, but it's just classic. For me, it also represents the paradigm shift in suit design that began with Jetman, but was perfected in Zyuranger.

4) Timeranger - Not really sure why I love this so much. I guess I just really like the contrast of the coloured visors against the black of the upper helmets. The arrow motifs were really cool to me too.

5) Go-onger - Took a really long time to decide on this one, since there are quite a few amazing ones left. I went with Go-onger because I always felt the suits had great personality, especially in a series with tons of charm.



Individual designs:
1) Dekamaster - The colours are what really make this design work, but the helmet design, armoured look, and the use of a sword as a weapon all contribute to one of my favorite Ranger designs.

2) Wolzard Fire - This guy just takes the idea of a knight ranger and knocks it out of the park. Red is also a really striking colour, and more attractive than the purple of normal Wolzard, for me.

3) Magishine - It's a bit cheating for me to have two Magiranger characters on this list, but that just speaks volumes of how much I love the Magiranger aesthetic. Love the contrast of blue and gold on this guy, later used to good effect on ShinkenGold.

4) Gokai Silver - The bandana design looks quite good, along with the gold visor.

5) Princess Shinken Red - Biased due to her being the first female Red in Super Sentai, and I also think the Shinken Red design looks better as a female Ranger.

1) Gokaiger because Pirates!
2) GaoRanger because they remind me of MMPR really badly
3) Zyuranger because MMPR, natch

[Matrixbeast]

Gekiranger (Though it had to grow on me).
JAKQ (Always loved those designs)
Kakuranger (I love the simplicity)
Gaoranger (They're just really good costumes)
Jetman (Because they look sweet too)

(Individual)
Gekiviolet

And for the perfect example of costumes that are superior to everything else in the show, look no further than Gokaiger
I mean Sun Vulcan. Screw it, both of them.
