The Evolution of the Sixth Ranger?

I haven't done any evolution discussion so far but looks like I'll talk about how it all came about in my point of view in the midst of facts:


In Bioman episodes 35-36 it was a two parter involving Shota Yamamori who was a protector of nature who fell in love with Jun Yabuki. In those two episodes, Shota tries to join the Biomen resulting in hilarious results, at the same time teaching kids never to imitate what they see on TV. After he realizes he can't join because he doesn't have ANY bio particles whatsoever, he is dejected. He is fooled by Farrah who turns him into the Magne Warrior (under mind control) to which Jun frees him from. Pretty much brainwashed and crazy.


In Maskman, we have X-1 Mask who was pretty much experimental again. This time, he was a senior to the Maskmen and a prototype that Takeru tries to convince them to join but failed to do. He was an anti-hero jerk like Gai Yuki but also in a way emo. Did this guy inspire Burai's creation?

Now the regulars:


Burai was the first official sixth member. Pretty emo, badass and reminds me of X-1 Mask in some way (due to him being a senior Zyuranger) while he also had a bitter past with Geki who was his younger brother. His plot in Zyuranger involved him dying which was pretty sad. Pretty much like take X-1 Mask, let him join the team a little earlier THEN kill him late in the season. He didn't always show up due to his dying state and he needed to stay in the timeless room to prolong his life.


For Kou, I don't know what was in the heads of Toei's producers why they wanted a child ranger or was this Noboru Sugimura's idea. Pretty much, he wasn't even allowed to reveal his identities to the Dairangers at first because of security reasons. Starting off as a pervert, he developed into a real person thanks to Lin and Byakkoshinken. Too bad this idea wasn't explored further in future series. He is also the first white ranger to become the sixth ranger in contrast to Banba who was the fifth in the starting with four team JAKQ.


For Riki in Ohranger, he was most likely in his early teens judging by his height. He's the first black ranger to become a sixth.


Yuusuke Hayakawa like his predecessors didn't appear in the opening credits either. He was more of the unexpected ally but later became more involved as time passed by. He was also the only adult Megaranger as the first five were teenagers.


Hyuga/Bullblack took over the place of the previous Bullblack and became a regular in Gingaman.


Naoto Takizawa in Timeranger is Fantasy Leader's other favorite aside from Burai. As Time Fire he was pretty cool, too bad he died being shot by a Zenitto from a long distance while out of suit. Makes me think "WTF" at first while thinking it's a very bad way to die.


My favorite Gaoranger! Shirogane for me is really one of the better used as he not only appears in the credits but he eventually gets along with the others and henshins with the regular team. Also, his development there is quite good- too bad the chemistry between him and Sae wasn't pushed further but oh well.


I never expected this to happen- a sixth member in Hurricanger? That was Shurikenger. But he was a pretty cool guy even if he has lost his real identity (which I feel pretty WTF about).


Tetsu Aira/Dekabreak at first just appeared as backup but in a short amount of time, he doesn't show up as back-up but as a regularized team member.


A sixth member in a sibling team? That's what I thought of Hikaru/Magishine. Actually in a sense, yes because he became part of them not only as a team but later he became in-laws with the Magiranger siblings.


Eiji Takaoka/Bouken Silver is pretty much active most of the time with the team like Gao Silver was. I still like Gao Silver better though I like him a lot as well with how he was used in Boukenger. For some reason, he does seem to follow Jeffrey Kensaki's hairstyle from the non-canon Jetman Manga.


In Go-onger we had Hiruto as the sixth and Miu as the seventh. Pretty much, they were hostile towards the Go-ongers until they saw the good in each other.


Genta Umemori/Shinken Gold in contrast to his Shinkenger counterparts exists to be more comedic, even funnier than the already hammy Ryunosuke plus he's the only non-samurai.


Gai Ikari/Gokai Silver was the only human aboard the ship of aliens plus for some reason, he really knows all the Super Sentai basic details. He's what I'd call the funny sixth member gotten better.
