Here's what I didn't understand from Shinkenger: If Juzo was a human who fell to Gedou and so was Dayuu, why didn't she have a human form? Or did she become a full Gedoushu? But if she did, how did she stay out of the Sanzu river for so long? Very curious indeed. Also you forgot Long from Gekiranger, maybe Geildon from Abaranger and Tottpatt from Zyuranger, depending on how generous you feel.

Where is Bandora?

Lavender Ranger said...

Bandora was a dude?

Mugen said...

XD!
Even if she is not a Dude, wasn't there some Commander in Ohranger who also had a Human Disguise.

Mugen said...

XD
Wasn't there that Beast Tamer in Ohranger, who had a human disguise. Sure, she was female, but still, you said there was none at all.

Dessa said...

No mention of Cid/Barizorg from Gokaiger?

Question: why didn't you take into account evil male rangers? for example, characters like Burai, the Gouraigers, and most importantly, Captain Ryuuya from Timeranger (he was briefly Timered) and Mikoto Nakadai from Abaranger. Even if they were rangers, they were still villains; after all you included Rio, who is an additional hero.

Lavender Ranger said...

Didn't count them because they were Rangers. List is long enough!

Lavender Ranger said...

I'm covering males, not females and yes I know about Keris but she was a very minor character.

oh, I forgot; Gajah from Boukenger

Drunken Lemur said...

Have you ever done a list of Female Rubber Suit Villains? Couldn't be nearly this long. I can count at least 8, if you count female Non-Rubber Suit villains with a monstrous transformation. Sort of the opposite of Gasha Skull.

Luca said...

Huh... there was also a character named long in the Five Ancestors, a book series about fighting monks similar to Gekiranger.

Mark-Anthony said...

Tayuu was able to stay out long because she didn't really use much force, so she didn't run out of water.

In PR, it would seem that she chose the Gedou form more so than the human so that she wouldn't have to remember the past...PRS Dayu seems a lot softer than her Sentai counterpart.

Those Flashman guys look really cool in an 80's kind of way like that one guy from Dune played by Sting, the American 80's equivalent of Gackt.
