This article is about a set of rangers in the Super Sentai series. |
The Black Sentai Ranger (黒い戦隊レンジャー, Kuroi Sentai Renjā) or Black Warrior (黒い戦士, Kuroi Senshi) is a position given to a position in some Super Sentai Series. Black usually serves as second-in-command and is always male. It is usually interchangeable with Green, but is also often paired with Green as the additional members to a core team of three, in this case, there have been two Black Rangers who took the place of the Pink Ranger while two took the place of the Yellow Ranger. Though Black Rangers are normally in the core team and from the start, 8 are additional Rangers. 5 of those 8 are not in the core team, with two of those 5 being the Black Sixth Ranger of the team, and the other three of them are Extra Heroes, with one of them being the Sixth Hero of that season as well. Personality-wise, most Black Warriors tend to be rivals, although some have been powerhouses and a few as childish. There is one full team of Black Rangers, the Neo-Jetman. All members of this team shared the basic personality of a Black Ranger, acting as rivals and powerhouses.
