"It's Morphin Time! Red Aquitar Ranger Power!"

―Morphing call

"Red Alien Ranger!"

―roll call in Forever Red

Aurico is the Red Aquitar Ranger of the Aquitar Rangers. He is an Aquitian that requires waters of Aquitar in order to live.

He is also referred to as Red Alien Ranger by people of Earth, as well as Mighty Morphin Alien Red Ranger a variation on his alternate in-show label, though it is more in reference to the show itself than a proper label.

Character History

While officially Delphine is the leader of the team, as Red Ranger, Aurico often figures in front of formations. He pilots the Red Battle Borg and, during his stay on Earth, the Red Shogunzord as well when the original pilot could not.

Zeo

In Zeo, he transmitted the message from Aquitar to Earth, claiming that he and the other two Alien Rangers were standing by to offer their services at the first sign of trouble. This was the last time Aurico appeared in his civilian form.

In Space

During the invasion of the universe by Dark Specter's United Alliance of Evil, Aurico and the other Aquitian Rangers battled Divatox's army on Gratha, where they were defeated. They were later saved by Zordon's Energy Wave. Countdown to Destruction

Forever Red

Aurico was last seen teaming with Eric Myers during Power Rangers: Wild Force, on the episode Forever Red, as one of the ten Red Rangers that attacked the remnants of the Machine Empire on the moon as they attempted to reactivate Serpentera. He then returns. Aurico's actor, David Bacon, was not available for the role, so Aurico never appeared unmorphed, and was voiced by Christopher Glenn. Also, the actor's voice was noticeably different from David Bacon if one puts the two side-by-side.

Super Megaforce

Aurico and the other Aquitian Rangers returned as part of the army of Legendary Rangers that helped the Mega Rangers defeat the Armada once and for all, fighting in a huge battle against hundreds of X Borgs and dozens of Bruisers. He again returns to Aquitar. Legendary Battle

Aurico is seen with the Aquitar Rangers.

Legendary Ranger Devices

The Red Aquitar Ranger Key.

The Red Aquitar Ranger Key is Aurico's personal Ranger Key. This key along with the majority of the Core Ranger Keys are seen lining the Command Center's interior walls. This key is mainly used by Troy Burrows (Super Megaforce Red) who uses it to fight as the Red Aquitar Ranger.

MMAR Dino Charger

The Red Aquitar Ranger is one of the Rangers that represent the Alien Rangers for the MMAR Dino Charger, released as part of a special set of Dino Charger Power Packs. In the Alien Rangers' case, it featured the Red Aquitar Ranger, Ninjor, the Shogun Megazord, and the MMAR title. This Charger was paired with the Super Megaforce Dino Charger.

Red Aquitar Ranger Power Star

The Red Aquitar Ranger Ninja Power Star is a special Ninja Power Star that bears the likeness of the Red Aquitar Ranger and is marked with the kanji for "red". This will be a part of the upcoming Ninja Steel toyline and, while its counterpart appeared in Ninninger, it's currently unknown if it will have a in-show appearance.

Notes

• Aurico is the only Red Ranger not played by his original actor at anytime in Forever Red, never appearing unmorphed.
• According to Amit Bhaumik, had Forever Red been a feature-length film as opposed to the episode that was produced, Aurico would've been one of two Red Rangers who would've died, the other being Leo Corbett. Unlike with Leo, whose Zord was the same as the then-current Red's, it's unknown why Aurico would've also been killed off.
  • Possible reasons for this being that he had the least amount of screentime compared to the other 9 Rangers (only starring in the Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers miniseries as opposed to a regular-length series), as well as the fact that he was the only one who did not appear unmorphed.

Behind the senses

Aurico is played by David Bacon, his suit actor in the Super Sentai footage is played by Seiji Takaiwa (高岩 成二, Takaiwa Seiji), who was the suit actor for 18 out of the 20 lead Heisei Kamen Riders (except Kuuga and Hibiki). In Forever Red, his voice is provided by Christopher Glenn.
