In the case of Bullblack II (Hyuga) I would count him as a sixth ranger while Bullblack I is an extra hero.

Though only used 3 times, Green is a color wished for the 6th Ranger to come as Dragon Ranger is the first and is a high impact for the U.S. consumption of Super Sentai.<br />However Silver is now the most used and for me is a bit of a dull if not predictable color. However Timeranger would feature the same color for both a leader and 6th Ranger which is both a shock and a thrill.<br /><br />Another plot device, well it really isn't but a mere 15% where Prototypes. The one hit wonder if X-1 Mask is the first then possibly King Ranger,Mega Silver, and Time Fire.<br /><br />Also to add they all add a extra kick to the plot with their own agendas.<br /><br />Zyurangers did start the 6th Ranger arc but Jetman had 5 additional rangers in the two parter of the Neo Jetman story with the egotistical cyborgs. They would return in the series after manga.<br /><br />However here are a debate: Mega Silver. It is good to see a Toku Alumni such as G-Stag (B-Fighter) being part of the Megaranger family. It was total ingenious casting and writing. Being a 6th member in the series is what I expected for the character as he is a complete contrast to the high schooler.<br /><br />Yusaku Hayakawa is a eccentric overachiever and bit of a slacker. I did like the 2.5 minute gimmick as he needed to will and might to fight the villains then just the suit power. After the the gimmick was fixed Mega Silver just became eye effect nothing more. They also failed to make the character into a coming of age confidant which was a bit of a waste.<br /><br />Overall Mega Silver is one of my favorite.<br /><br />Kurokishi Hyuuga- Gingaman was a total Zyuranger copy clone with the costumes, Mecha and character relationships. Hyuuga is Burai with a straight level head who acts on logic not emotions and also is played by a former Sentai Alumni. <br />It is no surprise that Hyuuga is a 6th member but why isn't he part of Gokai Silver's arsenal and powers???<br /><br />And finally it is 1999 the final year of the 90s.<br />GoGoV means well as a Thunderbirds inspired series. From February 1999 to Febuary 2000 there was no 6th Hero.<br />Liner Boy is just a clumsy Mecha and he is poorly considered the 6th hero. Kyoko who appeared in episode 2 till finale was close enough to nab that honor of becoming the 6th member but the restriction of the being a member of the Tasumi family did not allow her to be a 6th member. But for 1 special, she would get the alien powers of Sieg Jean. Sadly she no longer have the powers as it would be a fitting match for the series and the Tatsumi family really needed additional support as they really did not have it for the Saima Klan in anyway.<br /><br />Saban solved that problem by hiring PLEX to put together a costume and the Titanium Ranger is born which gave fans and viewers ideas of what GoGo V is really missing.<br /><br />With the 40th anniversary here and the 6th Ranger legacy is still going strong.<br />The 6th ranger will continue until another exclusive change is made yet again or Sentai ends. But I and many fans say Bring It On and Keep It Coming!!!!<br />Cyber9989https://www.blogger.com/profile/18369599204199109812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2311576849293147963.post-17966920677304803072016-09-18T05:58:06.295+08:002016-09-18T05:58:06.295+08:00Perhaps you forget to add, the 6th Ranger or curre...Perhaps you forget to add, the 6th Ranger or currently called Bangai Hero as some Sentai series stars with only the three man core roster and the two would show up in the mid season of the series.<br /><br />Here is the profile of what a 6th Member is and has traditionally protrayed as....<br /><br />They are usually outsiders who have a hazy past and are rouges and are almost antisocial lone wolfs that are not liked by some members of the team does not hang out with the actual team members and are not hesitant in doing so. <br />But sooner or later they would bond with the core members.<br />The popular personality are always the brooding type but the you have the comedic high strung personality.<br />Starting with Gaoranger they would immediately fit in and be part of the team. Also Gaoranger would also be the first series to allow a 6th member to be part of the opening cast credits.<br /><br />They do and traditionally show up in episode 16 but some where later and others very soon.<br /><br />Powers- there suits are always something that stands out the most and is always the more popular in design with a partial armor or full armor. Their weapon are usually just one unlike most of the core series members they would carry a standard uniform side arm and personal weapon.<br /><br />However, with the exception of Kurokishi, Magishine and Shinken Gold they carry two. Burai too carry two weapons but the Hellfriede sword is only a one shot gimmick as it is really not his and he was not part of the Zyuranger roster.<br /><br />Also to add but ignored or removed by "Anal Purist"<br />Ninjaman, Signal Man, and Gosei Silver are 6th Members but because they are actual sentient robots with no human disguise they are just mere robots nothing more.<br /><br />The actual reasons for the 6th Member is ratings and merchandising. Goseigers is the first trend to have a 6th Character just to have one and Kyoryugers had something good but is poorly written nor developed and ZyuOh the World is another current reason to ask "Why Even Bother"????<br /><br />Overall after 23 years it has become not just a fad but trend and traditions.<br />A blogger named Fantasy Leader has stated a series is not about the 6th Ranger but the core members, villains and most of all script.<br /><br />I did remember Sentai was about 5, but we are all drawn on what will be the 6th Ranger???<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Cyber9989https://www.blogger.com/profile/18369599204199109812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2311576849293147963.post-75234368547555213582016-09-17T21:18:06.044+08:002016-09-17T21:18:06.044+08:00Where's AbareKiller?Where's AbareKiller?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06694672099331117510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2311576849293147963.post-57228212980951347632016-09-17T16:47:33.088+08:002016-09-17T16:47:33.088+08:00BIO HUNTER SILVER is not included since he is a vi...BIO HUNTER SILVER is not included since he is a villain.Touma Kamijouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08541292844129153297noreply@blogger.com
