Ryu Commander and Koguma Skyblue are additional of the core team, hence part of the main team. Houou Soldier is the team's official sixth ranger. This is evidenced by the fact that Ryu Commander and Koguma Skyblue are take part in selection of 5 person away kyulette team. Also they appear in Kyuranger opening credits (A sentai extra ranger is never credited in the opening) and team shots, promos, summer movie. They also debut in consecutive episodes just like GekiViolet and GekiChopper. So they are considered as additional members while Houou Soldier is the official sixth ranger. He debuts in episode 22 just like DekaBreak from Dekaranger. He has a human identity and his ranger suit is unique like most of the sixth rangers. He has weapons like those of sixth rangers' and pilots his own 3-part Giant Robo
