Sixth Rangers are Rangers who are generally introduced outside of the core team. In most occasions they are the 6th to be introduced. However, the term of 'sixth Ranger' also applies to anyone outside the core team that starts regularly joining in battles. Sixth Rangers typically take on colors that are not used by the core team, though there are a few exceptions. There have been 21 official sixth Rangers, with the Aquitar, Turbo, Lost Galaxy, and Jungle Fury Ranger teams lacking official sixth Rangers. RPM, Megaforce/Super Megaforce and Beast Morphers have two sixth Rangers. Mighty Morphin however, has two sixth rangers who happened to be the same person. Lightspeed Rescue has a Sixth Ranger that is completely American-made as its Sentai counterpart does not have a Sixth Ranger. In the case of Lost Galaxy, the sixth member to join the team is not officially called a Sixth Ranger despite technically being the sixth ranger on the team.

Of the Sixth Ranger colors, there has been 8 Silver; 7 Gold; 3 White; 2 Green; and 1 Red.

Personality wise, most 6th Rangers are wise voices of reason (Green Ranger, White Ranger, Gold Ranger, Silver Ranger, Magna Defender, Green Samurai Ranger, S.P.D. Omega Ranger, Solaris Knight, Super Megaforce Silver, Dino Charge Gold Ranger, Beast Morphers Gold). But some are comedy relief (Mercury Overdrive Ranger, Ranger Operator Series Gold, Ranger Operator Series Silver, Gold Samurai Ranger, Ninja Steel Gold, Beast Morphers Silver) and some have been hardcore loners (Green Ranger, Titanium Ranger, Quantum Ranger, Lunar Wolf Ranger, White Dino Ranger, Robo Knight).

Naming

The first few sixth Rangers are more popularly known by their colors only: the Green Ranger (MMPR), the White Ranger (MMPR), the Gold Ranger (Zeo), and the Silver Ranger (In Space). When sixth Rangers began using colors that were previously used in other seasons, the names became more creative. For instance, the Titanium Ranger could not have been called "the Silver Ranger", because Power Rangers in Space already had a Silver Ranger. The Phantom Ranger is also sometimes considered to be a sixth Ranger. Since "the Black Ranger" would seem to refer to MMPR black, he used a more creative moniker. Simple color designations returned in RPM, but the order of the words was reversed (e.g. Ranger Gold and Ranger Silver), which kept the names unique. The Gold Samurai Ranger from Power Rangers Samurai has also been known as the Gold Ranger, but that name is more likely to recall the Gold Zeo Ranger for many fans. In the Spanish dub of Power Rangers Dino Charge, the Gold Ranger is dubbed as "Ranger Oro", like the metallic element from which comes that color.

Design

Most Sixth Rangers retain the basic look of the core Rangers while adding or changing a few significant elements. For instance, the first Green Ranger has triangles instead of diamonds on both gloves and boots, a gold morpher instead of a silver morpher, and a gold chestplate that none of the others have. The Quantum Ranger's suit has black where the other Time Force Rangers' have white, and the triangles on his helmet and chest are jagged instead of straight. Some exceptions exist, particularly Robo Knight and other heroes with debatable Ranger status.

Notes

As of Power Rangers Megaforce, the term 'Sixth Ranger' has been used to reference a strong addition to the team. It was used at the time to refer to Robo Knight. Super Megaforce cements this by naming Orion's Ranger Keys the Legendary Sixth Ranger Keys.
Mike Corbett, the second Magna Defender, was at one point considered the Sixth Ranger for Lost Galaxy. His status has been changed to that of Ranger-like Ally for Super Megaforce. This also happened to Anubis Cruger (the S.P.D. Shadow Ranger), Udonna (the White Mystic Force Ranger) and the Jungle Fury Spirit Rangers.
Tommy Oliver is the only sixth Ranger to have two different colors, Green and White.
Ryan is the only sixth Ranger to not have a Sentai counterpart. As such, he does not have a Sentai Ranger key, and Super Megaforce did not make one for him, making him the only returning Ranger to not have a key.
- However, a limited edition Ranger Key was made for him in the toyline.
The Legendary Dino Chargers and Ninja Power Stars released as toyline exclusives classifies several characters as Sixth Rangers for various seasons.
- Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers: Ninjor. This is strange, considering Ninjor has no onscreen interaction with the Alien Rangers.
- Power Rangers Turbo: Phantom Ranger
- Power Rangers Lost Galaxy: Magna Defender
- Power Rangers Jungle Fury: Jungle Fury Wolf Ranger
- Power Rangers Dino Super Charge: Dino Charge Silver Ranger. This is strange, because Dino Charge already had a Sixth Ranger. It's possible that the Dino Charge Silver Ranger is meant to be the Sixth Ranger of Dino Super Charge.
