Sentai Additions to Core Rangers

This article is about a set of Rangers in the Super Sentai series.

These Rangers are Additions to the Core Team. They are a subset of Additional Rangers or Heroes, and on occasion referred to simply as that. Rangers Added to the Core Team usually come in pairs of two per show, while the singular additions serve as mentor figures to their repective teams.

Out of the 10 Additions to the Core Team, two have been White, two have been Black, two have been Blue (each being a different shade), two have been Violet, one has been Green, and one has been Red.

These rangers share similarities to Sixth Rangers or Extra Rangers, yet aren't labelled as such and instead treated as a core member. This isn't an official label.

Notes

Ryu Commander and Koguma Skyblue were the subject of discussion, as it was unsure if they were classified as Additions to the Core Team or Extra Rangers.
- They were confirmed to be Additions to the Core Team by the DX Zanglassword, as it flashes violet, blue and red respectively when the Houou Soldier Avataro Gear is read in the Tiguardora.^[6]
- The Zanglassword confirms their status since the colors of Extra Rangers do not flash after reading the Tiguardora.^[7]
