Animal biting down on the face is one of my favorite toku helmet designs! See Shi Shi Leo!

Oh it's so cool! It's usually just used for Sentai, and even then just for the visor typically (Gaoranger, Go-Onger etc) but then you've got stuff like Kyoryuger which is just great

There is also Black Lion Leo and the Kyoryugers.

So just realized why the red ranger was an eagle by default in Zyuohger and could be a nod to past sentai. Gorenger's Baridorin was an Eagle and Sentai's first animal motif team Sunvulcan had a red eagle ranger. Hence Zyuoh Eagle. This was an idea brought up to me after seeing the Zenryoku Eagle so it's not official but I think it works out.

Growl Ranger / Wild Force had a Yellow Eagle Ranger as well.

So I wanna talk about how Yosuke Ito is the coolest and how he tries to be the green ranger in everything.

Last year, he posted on his social media that he had a dream riding the cat bus nekomaru from Kakuranger. What started was the craziest fan fiction by a toku alumni ever. Satomi Hirose, who played Tsuruhime/Ninja White in Kakuranger then replied that they never had a green ranger so that Ito is "welcome to fill the role" and they later had the person who worked on the designs for Kakuranger at the time to chime in as well. In the end they gifted us with what is none other than the greatest unofficial 6th Kakuranger that will never come to be unless Toei decides to make a 30 years after in 2024. I give you...

NINJA GREEN ROKURO

They even added some lore to the character:
- Rokuro is an engineer who does tech support for the Kakuranger
- Rokuro is the descendent of Rokuro Mochizuki, a member of the Sanada Ten Braves
- Rokuro claims to be an explosives expert, but consistently fails to prove this having more failures then successes
- Rokuro's suit is made of spare suits and tuned to his liking(his sleeves are also tattered)
- Rokuro has a shinobi knuckle equipped on each hand to protect them
- Rokuro wants to fight alongside the Kakurangers as their 6th member, but Tsuruhime is uncertain if he will be of any help since he makes a lot of mistakes and lacks experience fighting yokai

His name literally means sixth child, and his position as the sixth Kakuranger is emphasized through the hexagonal shapes that appear on his visor and shinobi medal. Personally I can't believe some of us missed out on this last year, so here it is for us to enjoy.

I hope it's made official one day. I like it!

There is a yellow Ranger in the current season though, Gaon.

???

2018 - Lupin Yellow
2019 - N/A
2020 - Kiramai Yellow
2021 - Zenkai Gaon

He can't even be talking about Power Rangers, there was a yellow last season in Power Rangers too

Kurona · 10-23-2021, 02:26 PM

There have been a grand total of 5 Super Sentai series without a Yellow Ranger; and the only ones that were consecutive were JAKQ and Battle Fever J (and even then, BFJ's aesthetics were very unconventional in Sentai and assigning specific colours to them; and you could maybe make an argument for Battle Cossack)

In Power Rangers (and, in fact, all of non-Showa Sentai), the only two have been Dino Charge/Kyoryuger and Dino Fury/Ryusoulger, which have years between them. So I'm really not sure where this is coming from...
