Power Rangers/Super Sentai Character Conversion: Space/Megaranger

Power Rangers In Space (1998) / Denji (Electromagnetic) Sentai Megaranger (1997)

The new Power Rangers from 'Turbo' went into space and pretty much forgot about school half-way in. While Megaranger was set primarily with high school students and rarely left the Earth.

Andros / Kenta (MegaRed)
Kenta was basically a goofball slacker, he is a big gamer and doesn't like computers. He hates studying. Not complete opposite but distinctly different from Andros, who rarely smiled and was stern and serious about his job (being a Ranger and space navigating). He came from a space colony on KO-35 and longed for his sister who was kidnapped when they were kids. She turned out to be the villain of the picture... Astronema. He was the first Red Ranger or Power ranger that matter to have a Battlizer, special armor exclusive to the show (not found in Sentai originally).

T.J./Shun (Mega Blue)
T.J. was the same guy as ever, a good friend and voice of reason ("I don't know about this guys.") Shun was a social hermit and cared deeply for his deceased mother. Shun was also a good strategist.

Carlos/Kouichirou (Mega Black)
It could be consider Kouichirou was a goody-goody straight-A student. He freaked out once at failing a test, that he thought of quitting being a Megaranger because he figured it interfered with his schoolwork. He fought a lot with Kenta for his incompetence. Carlos on the other hand, was tricked by a monster to hit his comrade Cassie and wanted to quit until Adam came in and helped him regain his confidence.

Cassie / Miku (Mega Pink)
Miku was bubbly and sweet, while Cassie was sarcastic. Cassie did have a kind heart, she once befriended a kind monster and when enemies were tracking her voice, she couldn't speak but did speak up when a child was in danger. Miku can become quite distracted with things she likes and likes school as much as Kenta. She actually likes Shun.

Ashley/Chisato (MegaYellow)
Chisato is more level-headed than Miku, she has no tolerance for people who steal things or bully children. She is attracted to Kouichirou. Ashley became attracted to Andros and since he never had interaction with many girls, he was very shy when it came to her or even opening up to her. He even became jealous when she and Zhane started hanging out. In personality, they are sort of similar.

Zhane / Yuusaku (MegaSilver)
Yuusaku was much older than the others, he would come and bail them out of a jam. He risked his life to use the prototype. Zhane was just different, he was Andros' best buddy from KO-35. He was injured in battle and then cryogenically frozen to recoup. Zhane was brave, cute, and suave.. well not much when it came to Astronema, who he befriended and attempted to date unsuccessfully. This was news to Andros, which didn't have enough time to get angry that his best friend was digging at his sister.
