He said in recent years...not in a row -.-

Well isn't that just hunky dory dandy.

Yep, I said in recent years. I knew I'd be wrong if I said in a row. So I didn't say that :P

Do you know any people called Light, or Marvelous, or King? Well, I said nicknames because I couldn't think of a better short way of saying "names that aren't regular Japanese names". It doesn't matter whether we're supposed to believe that in-show people can be called weird names, my only point was to point out a trend towards giving recent red rangers funky names.

Anyway, King is a nickname, he's called Daigo remember

I'm pretty sure Alata has a weird name too. But he and Marvelous are from space or something, soooo...

Yeah I know Regardless their backstories, that's a whole bunch of reds with strange names and all during the last few series.

Just an interesting trend is all.

Arata/Alata is a Japanese name. The male lead of the manga Switch girl, for example, is also called Arata (as there is no difference between r an l in Japanese, both romanizations are correct). EDIT: Forgot that Kagami Arata from Kamen Rider Kabuto was also there. xD

The Goseigers all have Japanese names, though mostly very rare ones (as for Hyde, there is a singer with that name. Eri and Aguri do also exists. I haven't heard of someone called Moune, but it should be a normal name as well).

So the exotic name stuff mostly just applies to Marvelous- because Raito seems to be a Japanese name as well. After all, we had a character in Kamen Rider W with the same name, just a different romanization.

Ah well... still rare or other, that's not many common names. haha I'm sticking firm to this observation, can't you tell?

EDIT: Moune is taken from French... I think ...

Oh, I never said that they weren't unusual, but I just felt like explaining some background stuff as ShockerCon said the name was "weird".

It is true that Sentai has been into more unusual names for their Reds during the last years. Just wanted to add that Alata doesn't go with the trend of English words as names, such as Marvelous, King and Light/Right.

I want the oldest to be the red ranger again. He is supposed to be the leader, so him being the youngest just takes away from that. In fact, I want a red ranger that is at least in his late 20s in the next series.

At least late 20s? That's probably too much to ask for. You could probably ask for 24 or so.
