Wow! We have a female Blue Ranger! We haven't seen that since Hurricanger!

Yep. This is going to be second time to have a female Blue Ranger and third time to have a male Yellow Ranger for Power Rangers 2006.

Man, I love those uniforms! They rock!

Ugh...I was hoping for no additional heroes this time. Ah well, maybe we'll be lucky and the black Magiranger will appear in episode 2 or something.

It looks very... retro. Like an older sentai show, but in a good way.

I said the same thing about Hurricanger back when before it aired in Japan.


Cool pics though.

Seriously, Sentai and PR need a vacation from additional heroes. Hurricanger had three, then there were AbareBlack and AbreKiller in Abarenzya, and... how many were there in DekaRanger, again?

The most basic law of any storyline, is that adding additional chracters in the middle of it is a bad idea. The only Sentai series to have decent additional heroes were Zyuranger and Abarenzya. The only PR series to have decent additional heroes was Ninja Storm.

On the subject of their counterparts-

MMPR Season 1: Probably best to put this in a way that Tommy fans won't misinterpret it and accidently think it's a positive comment about Tommy:

Tommy's storyline in this season was a piece of sh*t, period.

Hurricanger: Gouraiger were in the storyline from the start, which is good, but Shurikenja kind of showed up out of nowhere (This is still better than most Sentai additional heroes, in that he was kept mysterious. It wold've been worse had they tried to use him in the storyline more). And Sandaru* comes out of nowhere and the Hurricanger and Gouraiger need to actually be told about him because the people who trained them, didn't find it nessecary to mention him ever, despite his huge destructive capability.

Power Rangers Dino Thunder: Refer to what I said about MMPR season 1, except the comment refers to Trent now.

Seriously, its deluded to think that an uber-powerful warrior comming out of nowhere is anything but retarded.

* = No, it's not nessecary for someone to point out that Sandaru is a villain. This is on the subject of additional characters in general.

Riiiight.

Additional Rangers is more or less a staplemark of PR/Sentai. Hoping that there won't be any additional characters is almost like hoping you'd get a Sentai show without any Zords.

I really don't see any logic in any of your comments. It's stupid that a powerful warrior comes out of nowhere? Trent was introduced pretty airly, as a semi-regular cast member. He found the gem. It made him powerful; *just like the other gem made the others powerful*. Wow, that's some stupid writing right there. Why is Tommy's story stupid? GWE is one of the coolest PR arcs we've had. Don't try to write your hatred of Tommy off as "powerful warriors coming out of nowhere being anything but retarded"; then saying that Abaranger is a good example. So, Tommy was just a powerful warrior that "came out of nowhere", but Abarekiller isn't? Riiiight.... I admit, I like AbareKiller more than Tommy or Trent, but he was a "powerful warrior that came out of nowhere as much as Trent and Tommy.

Abarekiller was still involved in the plot from the first episode, in the sense that he was one of the doctors who helped Abared

EDIT: And no Sentai series has ever had Zords, except TimeRanger

If you're referring ot mecha in general, there's many teams without mecha:

Goranger - No explanation needed.

JAKQ - No explanation needed.

Zyuranger - The Shoguzyus areparts of a deity, hence they were no mechanical in any sense.

Dairanger - Kidenjuu arespiritual beats, not mechanical in any sense.

Kakuranger - Very similar thing to Zyuranger, incidentally.

Abarenzya - The Bakuryuu are living creatures, and no, them fusing doesn't make them mechanical eihter, because there are many shows in Japan where people fuse and aren't mechanical.

Techincalities:

Seijyuu (Gingaman) - Though they're not mecha but turn into mecha, I guess if they turn into mecha they must be mecha, at least part of the time.

Power Animals (Gaoranger) - Though they're not supposed to be mecha, they show no will of their own. Even when Gao Kantaurus saved the Gaoranger team, the power animals weren't doing jack until Tetomu told them to.

That's just semantics; fine. "Mecha" then. Every show after JakQ and GoRanger (due to the popularity of the Spidey show they made with a giant Mecha, no?), has had "Mecha", or fine, if you want to get technical; some form of mechas/creatures/gods/etc that combines to form a giant humanoid looking robo. The additional Ranger(s) is as much an aspect of Sentai as mechas(or creatures/godbeasts/whatever) transforming into a giant humanoid looking robo, and hoping to suddenly get a Sentai without one is silly. And as much as I love AbareKiller, his involvement in the plot didn't make his introduction any better than Tommy's or Trent's.

Is it known yet if the sidearm waepons will be like those of the Gouraiger (I. E. They all use the same type of weapon, which can transform ingo different shapes) or those of the DekaRanger (I. E. Each hero's sidearm and personal weapon being the same thing)?

EDIT: f*ck that, just noticed the picture of all five heroes holding their weapons in the form that blue and pink are seen holding in their individual shots.

Anyways, it's early, but here's what I think so far:

Magiranger suit - The helmet design seems different, in that many teams' helmets are designed so that each hero's helmet looks like the front of their vehicle with vehicle-based teams, or is designed to have features of the animal's face with animal-based teams (sorry, that probably isn't written very well), whereas this team's helmets have the animal silhouette, or partial animal silhouette in some cases. Capes have also returned despite their (many) years of non-use.

Weapons - Due to that one small photo, it's logical that all forms of the weapon are available to all heroes, which isn't used very often wither. I wouldn't want to form an opinion on them until I know for ertain if each hero can use every form if it though.

Primary mecha(?) - This group, along with the OhBlocker components, VRV components, etc. have always seemed like a good idea. Although, with these, the many-formed weapons and the capes, that's three rarely-used things so far. The flying dragon-like combination is interesting... if they're using that, does this mean we might have another Daizyujin/Dairenou/Gingaou, where the humanoid combination can't form for a few episodes?

6th hero - I guess there's some that aren't that bad. I guess

6th mecha(?) - Interesting that it combines with the flying combination also. Is this the only time besides Jetman when something like that happened? And it seems to combine with the red hero's mecha (or whatever it is). The centaur form of this mecha (or whatever it is) should be good, as long as its nothing like Gao Kantaurus.
