Red Aquitar Ranger

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.

History

Alien Rangers

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. TV STORY-Rangers of Two Worlds, Part I

In Space

During the invasion of the universe by Dark Specter's United Alliance, 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. TV STORY-Countdown to Destruction

Wild Force

Aurico morphed in 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 to Aquitar. 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.

Split History

Shattered Grid

Teaming up

All Rangers reunited against Lord Drakkon

When events set into motion by Lord Drakkon caused the timeline to split into pocket universe, each anchored on a powerset, the Alien Rangers were split off into their own pocket universe. Red Aquitar Ranger eventually received Zordon's call through the Morphin Grid and was among numerous Rangers who rallied to his pocket dimension led by the Quantum Ranger for the last stand against Lord Drakkon, reunited in the Command Center.

Behind the Scenes

Portrayal

• Aurico is portrayed by David Bacon. In Forever Red, his voice was provided by Christopher Glenn.
• As the Red Alien Ranger, his suit actor was Hiroshi Maeda (前田 浩, Maeda Hiroshi). (And Seiji Takaiwa (高岩 成二, Takaiwa Seiji) in Super Sentai footage from Kakuranger).

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 have been one of two Red Rangers who would have died, the other being Leo Corbett.
• Aurico is also the first Red Ranger to not be from Earth.
