Sentai Sixth Ranger

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

Every Sixth Ranger from DragonRanger to Bun Violet.
Gai Ikari (Gokai Silver) and the 15 Sixth Rangers before him.
The first 15 Sixth Rangers.
The next 13 Sixth Rangers.

These are the Sentai Sixth Rangers, officially known as Sixth Hero (6人目のヒーロー, Rokuninme no Hīrō)^[1]^[2]^[3]. They are a subset of Additional Rangers or Heroes, and on occassion referred to simply as that. After 2 unofficial prototypes, the first Sixth Ranger appeared in Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger. There have been 31 official sixth Rangers, including 1 replacement. They generally debut around the 17th episode of their respective series, but there have been exceptions.

It should also be noted that being a Sixth Ranger is not necessarily a numeric designation (eg, AbareKiller was the fifth member of his respective team) but rather that they serve as a "supplementary" teammate. In series where a Sixth Ranger is absent, an Extra Hero (Kakurangers' Ninjaman, Carrangers' Signalman, Gingaman's Black Knight) will frequently serve in their place. Unlike the main rangers, they are dressed uniquely.

Unofficial

There are several Rangers and other Heroes that could be counted as Sixth Rangers, though they aren't officially classed as such. These normally appear in Sixth Ranger-less series, being the closest thing the series has to a Sixth Ranger.

Shota Yamamori is Magne Warrior in Choudenshi Bioman. He only appeared for two episodes, and is one of the two test characters for later full fledged Sixth Rangers.
Ryo Asuka is X1 Mask in Hikari Sentai Maskman. He only appeared in Episode 39, and is one of the two test characters for later full fledged Sixth Rangers.
Hyuuga is Black Knight in Seijuu Sentai Gingaman, the successor of BullBlack. A Bangai Hero with Sixth Ranger traits.
Atsushi Domyoji is Green Hippopotamus, the Sixth Ranger of Doubutsu Sentai Go-Busters, an alternate-reality version of Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters. In this case, it's not his status as the sixth ranger that's unofficial, but rather his team.
Hyuma Oura is GinHero in The High School Heroes. In this case, it's not his status as the sixth ranger that's unofficial, but rather his team.

As of Boukenger, the term 'Sixth Ranger' was officially used. It was used to refer to Bouken Silver during one of the 30 Sentai Encyclopedia segments highlighting all the previous Sixth Heroes.
For years, there had been debates and discussions over whether Shou Ronpo (Ryu Commander) or Tsurugi Otori (Houou Soldier) represented Kyuranger's Sixth Ranger.
- The debate was put to rest after Houou Soldier was officially confirmed to be Kyuranger's Sixth Ranger. This confirmation is supported by:
  - Hiroshi Kamiya (Shou Ronpo) and Keisuke Minami (Tsurugi), as they both gone on record during separate^[4] interviews^[5] declaring Houou Soldier as the Sixth Ranger.
  - Super Sentai Large Gathering! Find Your Hero!, where Houou Soldier is included along with other Sixth Rangers in the game.^[6]
  - Twokaizer × Gokaiger ~June Bride is Tanuki Flavor~, where Houou Soldier's helmet appears on the Gokai Cellular's extender attachment Gokai Tsuiker Unit.
  - His inclusion and appearances on various legend sentai devices featuring Sixth Rangers.
- Interestingly, Ryu Commander was once stated to be the Sixth Ranger of Kyuranger by Shin-ichiro Shirakura, an early advisor for Kyuranger^[7] and was also included in a promotional poster for a hero meet and greet featuring Sixth Rangers.^[8]

Gokaiger has classified Hyuuga as an Extra Hero, but his original classification as a Sixth Ranger^[9] as well as his inclusion on devices that exclude Extra Rangers and Extra Heroes after Gokaiger's run^[10] leaves his status up for debate.
