Description
Sup y'all, so as you may know, I'm a huge Power Rangers/Super Sentai fan, and one of my favorite things are obviously the Rangers, especially the Sixth Rangers. There's a little problem in the community though when it comes to the Sixth Rangers, and that's who counts as one. Now the Rangers on here are my personal choices of who applies as a candidate. Below is a list of what makes a Sixth Ranger, reasons why I think each of the Rangers on here counts as a Sixth and why the Rangers who aren't on here don't count:What makes a Sixth Ranger:
Pretty Much the following:
-Links themselves as a member of the team despite differences, but...
-Does not specifically have to be the Sixth member, but must have other qualities of one
-Appears after the established core team (usually between episodes 8-20something)
-Similar suit design with some differences
-Different Morpher and Morph Sequence
-Different Weapons
-Seperate/Unique Megazord
Who does count as a Sixth:
Tommy - MMPR Green Ranger: Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers
No Comment on this Ranger, he's the original Sixth Ranger so it makes complete sense why he counts.
Tommy - MMPR White Ranger: Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers
Now one could argue that MMPR White doesn't count because he's chronologically the Seventh Ranger, and while that's true, I would only agree if he was a different character. However, Tommy after losing his Green Ranger powers was given the powers of the White Ranger, so he's basically returning to fill the Sixth Ranger spot that he lost along with the Green Ranger powers, so that's why he counts.
Trey of Triforia/Jason - Zeo Gold Ranger: Power Rangers Zeo
Nothing to say here again makes complete sense.
Zhane - In Space Silver Ranger: Power Rangers in Space
Again, nothing to say, fits all the criteria.
Ryan - Titanium Ranger: Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue
Again, all perfect links.
Eric - Quantum Ranger: Power Rangers Time Force
Only real argument is that he isn't a ranger that directly links, at least not 100%. In Time Force the Quantum Rangers morpher is actually a prototype of the Main 5's morphers, however the powers ended up in the Prehistoric era, Eric eventually got the powers though and became the Quantum Ranger. However, because he is a Time Force Ranger, he counts.
Merrick - Lunar Wolf Ranger: Power Rangers Wild Force
Again nothing to go against him.
Cam - Green Samurai Ranger: Power Rangers Ninja Storm
I've heard people say that the Thunder Rangers could count, but I'll also talk about them. Apart from that, nothing else to argue against.
Trent - White Dino Ranger: Power Rangers Dino Thunder
There is one major argument against Trent, and that's the fact that he's not a proper Sixth Ranger, because he was the Fifth. But apart from that, he fits everything else that a sixth ranger has, appears much later, different suit, different Mopher and Morph Sequence, different Weapon and Seperate Megazord. So at heart, he's a Sixth.
Sam - Omega Ranger: Power Rangers SPD
Despite being the Seventh to appear, he fits the criteria of being a Sixth perfectly just like Trent. Unlike Trent though, there's already 5 Rangers in the core team, and he has a Big ol' VI on his chest (6 in Roman Numerals), nuff said.
Daggeron - Solaris Knight: Power Rangers Mystic Force
Now Daggeron is one of the odd ones to be here, just because of how he's a bit more different from the other Sixth Rangers. First off, he's kind of a mentor-like figure, but not as much as the actual mentor figure, which is something usually reserved for Extra Rangers. Another thing is how he's not a proper Ranger, but a Knight, similar to the Magna Defender. But because he actually links himself with the Main team, and has other qualities of Sixthes, he gets a pass.
Tyzonn - Mercury Ranger: Power Rangers Operation Overdrive
Again, fits the requirements.
Dominic - White Rhino Ranger: Power Rangers Jungle Fury
This guy is pretty much the reason I wanted to talk about this, he's also mostly disagreed with as a choice, mainly because in the *canon* he's a core ranger due to Super Megaforce, which I think is completely unreliable. So in Super Megaforce Orion gets Gold mode which combines all the Sixth Rangers and shows the helmets on his chest. Now I've heard people say that whatever's on the Gold mode is a Sixth Ranger and because Dominic's not on there he's not a Sixth. Well neither is the Titanium Ranger and everyone says he's a Sixth. The argument I've heard is that the Titanium Ranger never appeared in the Sentai so he doesn't count. But that's for the Sentai only, not Power Rangers. You can't use Super Sentai as a Proper base for designations, SS and PR are two different things, even the RangerWiki's unreliable as that copies and pastes as well. Plus, the Extra Rangers aren't even truly confirmed, we have about 10 Pre-Gokaiger (known as Bangai Heroes) but even then theres still others as well which should be Extras. The other argument is that Dominic's a Fifth Ranger not a Sixth. Trent's a Fifth and he counts, hell they both have the same qualities: Both White Rangers, Both Fifth Rangers but diverge from the main team heavily, both have different Suits, Morphers, Morph Sequences, Weapons and Megazords (plus, Dominic only needs 1 Zord to make a Megazord while Trent needs 2). Some arguments against this include:
-AbareKiller was naturally evil and didn't join until the end
-AbarePink was the Fifth Ranger
-GekiChopper was the Fourth while GekiViolet was the Fifth
The problem with these arguments is something that I said before, they're all Sentai reasons. Trent was mind controlled unwillingly and immediaetly joined the team after regaining his mind, there was no Dino Thunder Pink or other Ranger before Trent, and the final reason was swapped in Jungle Fury, with RJ being there since the beginning while Dominic joined much later. (I also heard that the evil White Dino Ranger clone is the Sixth which is just completely WTF). Truth be told, I think that whatever you designate Trent as, Dominic should be the same. Finally the last major argument is that there are other possible candidates for the Sixth Ranger role, such as RJ. But I'll talk about them once I get to them. In fact, give me an argument and I'll counter it. In the end though, I truly think Dominic counts as a Sixth Ranger.
Gem and Gemma - Ranger Operators Series Gold and Silver: Power Rangers RPM
One argument I've heard is that because there's 2 of them, they don't count. My argument against that is that both of them are the exact same, in terms of Origins, Personality, Suit Designs, Morphers and Morph Sequences, etc. The only real differences are their Colors, Helmets and Zord animals. But apart from that they're the same, a little team of their own to be precise. So yeah they both count.
Antonio - Samurai Ranger Light: Power Rangers Samurai/Super Samurai
Again, fits the requirements.
Orion - Megaforce Silver: Power Rangers Megaforce/Super Megaforce
Pretty much the definitive Sixth Ranger of the team. But what about Robo-Knight you may ask, I'll also talk about him. He pretty much uses (most) of the Sixth Rangers in his arsenal and then some. Basically he counts.
Sir Ivan - Dino Charge Gold: Power Rangers Dino Charge/Dino Supercharge
Again, fits the requirements.
Levi - Ninja Steel Gold: Power Rangers Ninja Steel/Super Ninja Steel
Again, fits the requirements.
Who dosen't count as a Sixth:
Phantom Ranger: Power Rangers Turbo Image
This is where the confusion begins, when I hear Sixth Rangers being classified, I often hear the Phantom Ranger Mentioned. I can understand the reason why, he has the Racer look similar to the main 5 Turbo Rangers (albeit completely different otherwise) but that's where the similarities stop. My problem is his role, Tommy was the MIGHTY MORPHIN' Green Ranger, Trey/Jason was the ZEO Gold Ranger. They both made sense because they were linked with their respective teams, the Phantom Ranger is just called the Phantom Ranger, not something like the Turbo Black Ranger or even the Turbo Phantom Ranger, just simply the Phantom Ranger. Same goes for Ninjor, he doesn't link with the Alien Rangers. So really that's the reason why he dosen't count.
Mike - Magna Defender: Power Rangers Lost Galaxy Image
Now the Magna Defender has a tad bit more going for him to make him a Sixth Ranger unlike the Phantom Ranger. His design is closer to the other rangers, his weapon and morpher are similar as well and he even has a zord, none of which the Phantom Ranger has. However, the same logic still applies, his powers aren't related to the other rangers, more specifically the first Magna Defender was his own being, while Mike took his Armour, Weapon, Zord, etc. So again, that's why he dosen't count.
Hunter and Blake - Crimson and Navy Thunder Rangers: Power Rangers Ninja Storm Image
Obviously they both don't count as Sixths due to there already being an actual Sixth. However, both Hunter and Blake are strange cases when talking about Designation. They kinda link themselves with the core team, as when added with the Wind Rangers, the make a total of 5, but they're much more unique than the typical Cores. Their Origins are different, their Suit Designs look different, different Morpher, Morph Sequence, Weapons and even Megazords. In the end though, I would put them in a seperate group, something along the lines of Special Cores. These types of rangers count as Core Rangers, however are much more unique, but not as unique as Sixths (Imagine like a 50/50 split). So yeah Special Cores it is.
Tommy - Black Dino Ranger: Power Rangers Dino Thunder Image
Not as talked about as the Thunder Rangers, but the same logic still applies, different from the main Core Rangers, but not as Unique as a Sixth. Pretty much a Special Core.
Doggie Cruger - Shadow Ranger: Power Rangers SPD Image
Now this is when things get confusing. Like I said with the Omega Ranger, the Shadow Ranger chronalogically appears Sixth, whereas the Omega Ranger appears Seventh. However, what makes the Shadow Ranger different is that he ranks higher on the hierarchy table due to being the mentor character of the series, he also doesn't have as many similarities as the Omega Ranger does, so yeah doesn't count.
Udonna - White Mystic Ranger: Power Rangers Mystic Force Image
Same logic as the Shadow Ranger, appears before the actual Sixth but is still the mentor character of the series and doesn't have as many similarities.
RJ - Violet Wolf Ranger: Power Rangers Jungle Fury Image
Now onto the meat of it all, the Wolf Ranger. When I see arguments against Dominic, I sometimes see one saying that if Dominic is going to be a Sixth, RJ should be one as well. But I'm here to break down why I don't see him as a Sixth. First off, RJ appears in the first episode of the series, gives the rangers their powers and acts as a mentor-like figure to them. Remind you of anyone...if you thought Tommy from Dino Thunder then you are correct. Dominic on the other hand doesn't make his first appearence til around episode 20, which is also the first episode he morphs in. The one thing I can't really argue against is how RJ morphs a bit later after Tommy does (Tommy morphs in episode 5, whereas RJ morphs in around episodes 10-15). However Tommy and RJ do link themselves to be closer to their core teams. RJ's suit design is also quite different, just like Tommy's suit. One could say RJ's suit looks much more different to the core team than Tommy did, but it still has the same look (Main colour, Black as a Secondary colour and White as an Accent). Plus, he has the same Symbol as the Main 3. Ultimately, he kind of acts as a counter to the Main 3 (the Main 3 have a cat theme of Tiger, Jaguar and Cheetah, while RJ has a dog theme with a Wolf). Dominic looks completely different though, using orange as an accent, having a belt, different lining and the symbol is on the left side of him with a different design (he also breaks the cat/dog theme with a Rhino). The morpher argument can work due to the main 3 having sunglasses while he has a Wrist Morpher, but the Morph Sequence is the exact same, just at a different angle. Again, Dominic has a completely different Morpher and Morph Sequence. Weapon-wise, this doesn't apply due to the Martial Arts theme, but while the Main 3 and RJ mainly fight hand to hand, Dominic fights with his Morpher, which can also combine with the Red Rangers Claw Booster (similar to how Red Rangers and Sixths combine Weapons, e.g. MMPR Red and Green). Finally there's the Megazord, or should I say Zord in RJ's case. RJ doesn't have a Megazord, instead he combines with the Main 3's Megazord by replacing the Cheetah Zord with his own. That's simply replacing, not making it his own Megazord. Dominic wins this again by having his own completely seperate Zord which becomes a Megazord. In the end, while RJ is more unique than the typical Core Ranger, he doesn't come close to how Unique Dominic is, so yeah RJ would be a Special Core just like the Thunder Rangers and Dino Thunder Black.
Elephant, Bat and Shark Spirit Rangers: Power Rangers Jungle Fury Image
Three of the more surprising ones. Basically, I don't see them as Sixths. People always say that they're the Sixth Rangers, but they never give any arguments for why they are. The only argument I hear for these guys is that they're the Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Rangers so they should count. While yes they come after Dominic, they still have no qualities apart from that. They don't have an unmorphed form, they're just summoned from the Main 3, the suit designs are clearly based on the Master Forms of the Main 3 (yes there are some slight differences, but it's obvious they're based on them), the Weapons are based on the Masters Weapons that the Main 3 use, and they don't even have a Megazord, they have Zords that can Individually combine onto the Main Megazord. Again, they're just extensions of the Main 3 and aren't as unique as Dominic, so they don't count.
Jarrod and Camille - Lion and Chameleon Rangers: Power Rangers Jungle Fury Image Image
These guys don't count either. Both of them were evil for like 95% of the series, and while they may of had zords, again they didn't have a Megazord. Plus they only joined after the Spirit Rangers, which would make them the Ninth and Tenth members. So again, they don't count.
Robo Knight Power Rangers Megaforce Image
I hate the fact that Robo Knight is a Sixth in *canon*. The Reason is because of Orion also being a Sixth, but at least Orion has loads of stuff going for him. The problem is Robo Knight is exactly the same as Ninjor and the first Magna Defender, he has no form outside of the suit becase he is the suit. Hell, he's pretty much a walking Zord as well, considering he transforms into the head of one. He's pretty much like the Shadow Ranger in which he appeared before the actual Sixth. The only thing I can think of that goes for him is how he actually links himself with the team unlike Ninjor and the Magna Defender. Even then though, that's still not enough. One could say that there could be 2 Sixth Rangers for Megaforce like MMPR and RPM. The difference between them though is that Tommy was simply rejoining as the Sixth Ranger role that he lost along with the Green Ranger Powers and Gem and Gemma have the exact same qualities to the point where you only need one of them to have the complete package. Robo Knight and Orion are 2 seperate characters though and have completely different gear, so only 1 makes sense to be a Sixth, which is Orion. So Robo Knight shouldn't count either.
But yeah, here I just made this little piece to accompany my long-ass discussion, but yeah, just letting my thoughts out there, see ya.
