Antonio was actually a pretty good adaptation of the original Sentai version of the 6th Shinkenger character, Genta Umemori. Genta ran a sushi stand in the original Sentai, so having Antonio be a fisherman, selling fish out of a fish cart made sense. His backstory for Power Rangers Samurai also pretty much fits -- considering he wasn't born into a samurai bloodline, but wanted to help his friend fight and become a samurai like him. His episodes are pretty much the only saving grace of Power Rangers Samurai.

Eugenideddis Good, because let's face it. The cast of Power Rangers Samurai/Super Samurai should have been in a far better TV show than this.

SSobotkaJr Yeah, I still think they should have made Spike into the gold ranger, if the show was better written and handled by a more competent team of writing staff and a show-runner that is not a fucking idiot. *I fucking hate Jonathan Tzachor!!!*

When Lauren came in, they acted like dicks towards her too.

nexusshark I didn’t learn that until much later. It made me even more convinced not to watch the show.

"now i'm M O T I V A T E D!!" - Vergil.

@@raulalmeida6572 foolishness

"You are not worthy as my opponent."

i was actually looking for the Vergil references 😁

He had all that power he needed.

Steven Skyler was even on an episode or two of Glee for those pipes of his.

Also he broke the 4th wall in his first appearance He’s too powerful for reality to handle

I agree

100%

Yes I agree

100%

Dude, without him they literally would have lost to the nighlock. He programmed or revived at least a quarter of their zords. Octo, Claw, Light, Shark, and the black box.

Yeah. He reverse engineered his own Samuraizer from an old broken phone he found. He brought the Clawzord and Lightzord back to life, and got the Shark Zord and Disk from the Lightzord as a bonus, brought back the Octozord, and helped program and finish the Black Box. He also helps cook sometimes which is way better than Mia’s cooking. And, he sang for Charity! I mean, what more can I say about this guy! He’s amazing!

He also programmed like a quarter of all their Zords. Without him, they would have lost to the Nighlock. Clawzord, Octozord, Shark Zord and Disk, Black Box, and Lightzord. I also feel like they made Antonio so overpowered at first with his Barracuda Bite. He was so fast that I was sure that he could have taken out the entire Nighlock army himself because he was so fast. But after the first couple episodes with Antonio, I feel like they had to slow down Antonio and make him more of a background character because he was way more powerful than Jayden.

@@skeebas_2541. They do that with every new Ranger. They're overpowered at first then their attacks look weaker in later appearances

Actually they sent more better nighloks, I would say

@@chinuaalibatya7345 Exactly, Just like how Jayden's Sister Laura defeated a monster alone in the Lion Folding Zord. She got weaker after fight Master Xandred.

That's just hilarious but now I'm motivated

That quote always gives me chills

"This isnt anger...It's justice." Kruger had some of the best lines in the show.

Hell yes

Indeed, I like him more than Tommy

My name is trent

Trent has super speed, can fly, and can turn invisible he also beat All the other rangers at once

And cool too

It fills you with. . . M O T I V A T I O N.

So you saying Quantum Ranger is the storm that is approaching?

@@awaterballoon8289 yes

Optimus Prime Poor rocky...hes actually a good fighter

Adam Benton yeah he was at least decent

Justin - "Guys! I'm the new Blue Ranger!" Team - "........."

The Disney Brain I feel like zordon completely regrets that choice

The Disney Brain more like oh does I look like we care

Michaela Moffatt I'm still confused as to why Blake was but Hunter wasn't like are you serious their both the same but blame gets an honourable mention 😡😡😡😡😡

Olivia Taylor I’m not completely sure but I think personally it has to do with his growth as a character. And before Blake and Hunter were on the team, Blake was more open minded about being good and betraying Lothor. That’s my opinion on it.

But blame just fit in with the team where as Hunter and shane challenged each other

I love me some Ziggy! Can't wait to talk more about how he progressed when we eventually get to RPM. And yeah, I did the best I could with the odd terminology of 6th and Extra Rangers. Generally speaking, I wouldn't count Rangers like Jack because he suited up during the two part premiere, as opposed to Ziggy, Dillon, and the Thunder Ranger bros.

@First Spinjitzu Master The RPM core team was always 5, Doctor K just had trouble finding 2 more to complete it

@@TheDisneyBrain uhh Where's Tommy Oliver??

​@@rukminikannan9779 on another list

Really I loved it lol

John Tui plays great sixth rangers I guess.

Nero was also a ranger he was Adam aka John Young Bosch

Merrick in the place ofrecer Zhane

Colin Matthew Bishop lol

SolidSnake0621 out of all the lists, this is actually the one where I think Tommy fit best at number 1. Green Ranger set everything in motion and making it a tradition from then on. He started out evil and saw a group’s destruction only to be overcome with right and end up becoming a force for good

Colin Matthew Bishop yeah he is the best Ranger I wish I could hire him for my b day

SolidSnake0621 Tommy is the classic the original the legend

@Colin Matthew Bishop LOL. #3 - White Ranger (Tommy Oliver) #2 - Black Ranger (Tommy Oliver) #1 - Green Ranger (Tommy Oliver)

I agree. Merrick is one of my favorite sixth rangers.

Merrick's suit is so cool I'm using it as a base for my OC's suit.

Idk if ur joking but that’s not him

Nah that’s Phil brooks

Magna defender is the best sixth ranger out of all of them

That's what I think too

"Now I'm motivated."

Funny part is that while Eric is Vergil in Devil May Cry, RJ is Vergil in the DmC reboot.

@@wchan39 wait really?

Mine too. My all time favorite ranger.

Dhilax Rasaratnam Cruger is much more than just the standard PR mentor. He is also the father figure of the rangers. He looks like the kind of guy you CAN approach with any kind of problem and he'll lend his ear. He allows Bridge to breath and experiment new and innovative methods to solving crimes, he offers Z a chance to actually be the greater good she so desperately desires, he actually gives Sky the red ranger role once he knew Sky deserved it and wasn't full of himself anymore. He also moulds Jack into a real leader from just a common thief he picked off the street, through Jack's lazy and somewhat selfish and careless attitude at first. He even recognised that Boom is a valuable asset even when he failed the ranger training course. He moved past his own hatred and desire for vengeance against Grumm and locked him up knowing that THAT is his duty, not his own personal vendetta and grudge. Zordon wishes he can be as amazing as Doggie.(no discredit to Zordon though)

I Love Doggie... c:

He isnt

That's a work in progress!

Heckyll should be part he is in power rangers dino super charge

@@cringemonkgpo8636 no he isn't hes in super sentai

@@bluebros1813 buddy i think he means characters that are in power rangers (not sentai) that are not rangers but have an impact to the story

Number 1 - skull Number 2 - bulk Number 3 - skull and bulk

You are most welcome!

The Disney Brain keep up the good work!

:)

I can respect that list very much. Gold Ranger and Green(Dragon Ranger are such wildcards. Its hard not to rank em that high. But Eric and Mike have such good character and development I could easily switch them around with Gold and Green Ranger. Anyone in the top 4 is a number 1. Damn near perfection

Yeah

@@priyac.d3143 he actually made a video on Wild Force last year (in case you didn't know!)

What about RJ?

@@leeobrien2004 He's a...special core ranger. Like Blake/Hunter, and Tommy.

Eric is easily one of the best Power Rangers, period. Top 5 in my opinion.

And his motivation.

Vlad 117 Where’s your motivation

You're very welcome :)

well once Saban got yeeted out of the EP role and Disney production team took over, you start seeing the quality of the story skyrocket

I would put kruger on this list too: he was able to defeat all 5 mebers of the b squad, figth with the main vilan of the season mulriple times, and of course delta comand megazord.

But Shadow Ranger will probably always be my number one

i don't consider neither rangers.

I consider Magna Defender a Ranger, but I most certainly do not consider Robo-Knight a Ranger.

Roboknight would be the biggest stretch, since he isn't even alive, technically, and as a robot, he can't even morph unless you count his weird Zord transformation. But I completely agree that Mike is and always will be a Ranger. Which also makes "To The Tenth Power" a numerical misnomer, as there were eleven Rangers in that crossover. Not sure what happened to Zhane though.

The Disney Brain but operation overdrive’s red ranger was an Android

Except he could morph into a ranger.

Yes! It hurt him so much to lay down, and when mentor came back, they took all the pillows and one of the cushions he was laying on to give to mentor, hurting him even further.

Like, please show some more respect to the person who brought a bunch of your zords back to life, and someone who finished the Black Box.

@@skeebas_2541 In short, the Samurai Rangers never would have beaten Xandread without Antonio.

I think Dino Super Charge is a great example of how to not do a butt ton of extra Rangers, since none of them really get much development. Heck, I'm not sure Prince Phillip even has three lines of dialogue after his focus episode. Tyler's dad has inherent importance to him, but there's not too much done with that relationship after he's revealed to be alive. And all they would have needed to do is basically retool "Destined For Greatness" and you've got something. And on top of that, they didn't even use the Talon Ranger suit, which looks so cool. Kendall is a huge bias of mine and Ivan is a lot of fun but beyond them, that "biggest team ever" tagline is only just that :/

DamnQuilty Hell yeah he is.

I think that suits his father, Anton Mercer

Technically, Anubis "Doggie" Kruger is . . . .well, not a wolf. He's a dog. Actually an alien species known as Anubian. In the original Super Sentai series -- Dekaranger -- Doggie Kruger actually went by a nickname "Hell's Guard Dog" (Jigoku no Banken).

technically he has 2 counterparts but the concept of his villainy is exclusive.

disney era power rangers Oh yeah, you mean Kurojishi Rio and the Infinite Dragon Long from Gekiranger?! I remember them. Still better villain characters than pretty much any of the villain characters from the Neo-Saban era, except for Serrator, Vrak, Sledge, possibly Heckyl, but that's debatable and to a certain degree, Madam Odious.

I suppose Jarrod would be less American exclusive than someone like Ransik for sure. Also, I think while making that section I forgot about his Sentai counterpart... lol

I only say that because Ransik and Astronema are completely american made, right down to the costumes. Jarrod's back story is american only, but both his overall role in the show and appearance is basically a combination of Rio and Long.

I’d say, he’s about as “American exclusive” as Vypra or Nadira, where they took an established character from the Sentai and had an American actor play the character for some reason, instead of just dubbing the character’s lines like they did Rita in the first season.

LOL

The Disney Brain someone needed to do it.

Antonio was the best thing about Samurai for me! Granted, the the bar wasn't set that high, but still, I like his character and his story. Honestly, if the writers had been smart they could have used Antonio to set up/support a theme in the story of Tradition vs. Progress, with Antonio supporting progress. Sadly, the writers failed to understand the difference between the villain-of-the-week formula and an actual story, so a great deal of potential came to nothing.

Willie Oelkers no no the best thing about samurai was something else it was the end

Illusionist NightDaze Nah, the ending was pretty bad as far as I'm concerned. Honestly, having a plot device that can end everything at the ready since the beginning only works if it fails and the heroes are forced to find a different solution. Oh, wait, you mean that the series finally ended. Eh, I don't know about that, isn't that how we ended up with Megaforce?

Robert James

I wish Zhane came back for the power ranger galaxy and space crossover

I'd also like to point out how her entire galactic view, not world view, galactic view, was changed within 12 minutes because a cute girl saved her from a tumble. Astronema is weeping for this generation's "complex" villains.

No, no, it's okay. It's okaaaaay.

But he is though, just as much as Dino Thunder black and white

I think the comics used him in a Forever Black event. Though id you ask me he looks more like a brown Ranger.

That's a really good idea! A couple people have been suggesting something similar to that and I've been trying to work out how that would go down in terms of a full video. What will probably happen is that I'll create an imaginary scenario and have you the subs make your own arguments as to who the best possible team could be. And then on the back end of the video, I'll give my ideas, although most of picks won't be all that shocking, lol
