Female Yellow Rangers In Super Sentai

Image
Okay, here's an old list I decided to update. Yellow rangers were usually male but there were times when they were female. In Power Rangers , most of the male yellow rangers are given female counterparts for some cultural reason. I admit I wasn't too shocked that Trini's counterpart in Zyuranger is a MAN because Turboranger had a male yellow ranger. I decided to update this post because of Haruka Kito herself. Here are the female yellow rangers in Super Sentai up to the present: Mika Koizumi/Yellow Four 1 and Jun Yabuki/Yellow Four 2 She was the first yellow ranger in Super Sentai history. Sadly she's the first female ranger to be killed off too. Bioman wanted to do so but there was some behind-the-scenes conflict with Yuki Yaijima. Yuki abruptly left the show and not so many know why she did it. Mika was presented as a loner who just wanted to be left alone. A tragedy really that she should die as well after her brother died in Africa for some unknown reason.  It wa...

It's All About Silver

Silver... ah yes especially that would be the color of the sixth ranger for Gokaiger.  Now time to remember the silver rangers in Super Sentai. Yuusuke Hayakawa/Mega Silver- The first silver ranger in all of Super Sentai history.He was the first ranger to create his own suit out from the prototype Megaranger suit.  At first, it had its flaws which he later repaired.  Too bad he wasn't that involved in the final battle. Shirogane/Gao Silver- The second silver ranger.  He is thousands of years old chronologically and he seemed to pay tribute to Burai by initially appearing as a foe (while he was serving as Loki's host body).  He was a typical loner as he didn't hang out with the other rangers often.  He was hinted with Sae Taiga but no official relationship was truly established. Miu Suto- The first female silver ranger. She was accompanied by her brother, Hiruto Suto who is technically the first male gold ranger (never mind the Kingranger in Ohranger). ...

Not So Commonly Used Colors in Super Sentai

Super Sentai also has some colors that weren't always used and usually applied to extra members like: Battle Fever J's Battle Cossack is the only orange ranger known so far. He was part of the regular roster since there were no additional rangers back where he came from. Silver was the first color to be not frequently used. The color appeared first in Megaranger's Yuusaku Hayakawa then in Gaoranger's Shirogane, Boukenger's Eiji Takaoka and Go-onger's Mio Suto. Go-onger introduced the first female silver ranger. Did Tommy's conversation in the MMPR movie inspire this? Although in the PR side, the King Ranger was called the Gold Ranger (even if King Ranger was a black ranger), however the first official gold ranger is Hiruto Suto from Go-onger. The second would be Genta Umemori in Shinkenger. The first and only purple ranger Gou Fukami.

Pink Rangers in Super Sentai

I've read from Valsag Fantasy on " Is Pink Disappearin g?" I think it's just awful. Why? Pink is the color for women's pride. IMO pink makes the female rangers stand out in some way. Here is the count for pink rangers overall and note not all series have the color pink: For the first female Sentai ranger, we had Peggy Matsumaya who was Momoranger or in English, the pink ranger of Goranger. Although she was weaker than the rest, she was the brains of the group. The second one was Karen Mizuki/Heart Queen from JAKQ who was a competent fighter but she relied on stealth as her specialty when brute force won't work. She's the first pink ranger to have a relationship with the red ranger namely Spade Ace. I wonder if Miss America counts. The first Miss America was Diane Martin who is half-American and she quits the team when she gets disabled by the Dracula Monster (they chose this for her instead of kill her for some reason) and the second one was k...
