"Stealth of the Ninja! Ninja Steel Blue!"

Behind the Scenes

Portrayal

Notes

The other Sudarso, saved by the Blue Ranger.

  • Preston is portrayed by Peter Sudarso, the younger brother of Yoshi Sudarso who played Koda in the previous series.
  • Preston is the second Blue Ranger in a Ninja-themed season to have a standard blue color. The first was Billy from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Season 3.
  • The surname "Tien" is of Chinese and Vietnamese origin. Preston's actor Peter Sudarso is Indonesian-American of Chinese origin.
  • Preston is the second Blue Ranger who is the "stealth" of the team, following Theo Martin from Power Rangers Jungle Fury.
  • He is the first Ranger to gain a super power since Operation Overdrive.
    • Theo's powers come from his training and not given to him by an outside force (injection, arsenal, Mutation).
      • His Sentai counterpart gained his magical powers from education.
  • In The Ranger Ribbon, it is revealed Preston's birthday is January 3rd.
  • Preston's kind-hearted and loyal personality contrasts with his Sentai counterpart, Yakumo Katou who is cool-headed and serious.
  • Preston's personality is very similar to Calvin's Sentai counterpart.
  • Preston is playable in Power Rangers Legacy Wars.
  • Preston's roll call may have been a reference to his actor Peter Sudarso hiding his role as the Blue Ninja Steel Ranger from his brother Yoshi Sudarso until it was revealed at Power Morphicon.
  • Because of his love of Super Sentai, Peter Sudarso has slipped several references to the counterpart franchise in his character's actions.
  • Preston is the only Ninja Steel Ranger who hasn’t used an Element Star unmorphed.
  • Preston is the only male Ninja Steel Ranger out of the main team who hasn’t used the Ninja Super Steel Blaster and the Ninja Clone Star.
  • In the episode Doom Signal, Preston mentions his "cousin Zack" in Angel Grove. The line was ad-libbed by his actor, Peter Sudarso, and seems to be a reference to Zack Taylor, the original Black Ranger, though it likely is a coincidence in the show's actual canon.
