The proper Japanese terms are
tsuika senshi
and
bangai senshi
. Tsuika senshi is what people refer to as the sixth ranger with Dragon Ranger being the most famous. Tsuika senshis are those that are added to the main roster and with a few exceptions become a regular household despite their late bird status.
Bangai senshi are the extra heroes that are usually anomalies with Ninjaman being the most famous. They are either aesthetically far more unique than the main roster while a tsuika senshi maintains key elements such as Wolzard Fire, Kurojishi Lio. Some of them are one-shots such as Deka Gold, Midoninger, Gosei Green,etc. Some may be a brief replacement or a facsimile such as Shinken Red/Kaoru Shiba or the two Akaningers respectively. Others could also be variants such as Zyuoh Bird.
Of course, we do have a few exceptions here and there, such as Time Fire, who is officially a tsuika senshi for the Timerangers despite being red as well and can easily be categorized as a bangai senshi. In the case of Kyoryuger, Uchi/Kyoryu Gold is the sole tsuika senshi of the team while Cyan, Gray, Violet, and Silver are Bangai. As for X-1 Mask, because he is a one-shot and also not being recognized as the first official tsuika senshi, it is technically a bangai senshi.
In the case of teams that start off as trios such as Liveman, Hurricanger, Abaranger, Gekiranger, and Go-Busters, they tend to include the fourth and fifth as regular members with the only exception being Abaranger. Abaranger includes Abare Black as the fourth regular while Abare Killer is considered the tsuika senshi.
And thank you TokuKnight89 for making this thread. It had to be done.
