Rangers' Furry Friends

With the rumored Gobuster having animal-inspired partners, one is to think there will be furry. Furriness and animal friends aren't that uncommon.

 

Doggy Krugger (Dekaranger - 2004)

Literally furry, a dog alien from Anubis, he was the boss of the Dekaranger and became DekaMaster. He had a long snout and was once asked how it fit in his helmet, he told them not to ask, something of that effect. He had a hinted romance with Swan. He appeared in Gokaiger earlier this year, reuniting his suit actor Hideaki Kusaka and voice actor Tetsu Inada.

 

Doggie Cruger (SPD -2005)

A more reptilian-look of a dog alien compared to his predecessor/counterpart, Doggie was more angry and a bit childish for my taste. He lost his world and was missing his wife.

 Smoky/Jenji (Magiranger - 2005 /Mystic Force - 2006)

Both pals  of MagiShine/Solaris Knight, he was a genie cat who had liked getting in trouble. Smoky was stuck to the lamp and could only be with legs for a short while. They both had a permanant grin and were part of the lamp attack their master did.

Master Shafu (Gekiranger - 2007)

Literally furry, he is a lynx, he was once human and in love with Rageku. He was Gekiranger's mentor and often gave him riddles and had them do menial work to help them develop their training to fulfill tasks. He often rang his triangle. Master Mao of Jungle Fury became him in the last episode. Master Shafu made a brief cameo in episode 7 of Gokaiger.

Master Elehan Kimpo (Gekiranger - 2007)

Pervert and trained Ran/GekiYellow. Jungle Fury's Master Phant took this form once.

 

Master Bat Li (Gekiranger - 2007)

Name based on Jet Li, he was serious, he trained Retsu/GekiBlue and the blind Master Swoop took this form once.

 

Master Sharkie Chan (Gekiranger - 2007)

He reminds me of Kung Fu Panda as he was like a kid, never had a trainee before. He trained Jan/Geki Red and Master Finn---who was more experience and RJ's dad, took this form at end of PRJF.

 

Master Gorie Yen (Gekiranger - 2007)

He was serious and wrote books and lived in New York, he trained Jan and challenged him. His JF counterpart took his form once.

 

Master Pyon Biao

His Spirit World counterpart took his form once, there wasn't much to his character in Gekiranger except that he once dressed up for Christmas and was mistaken for a Reindeer.

Master Michelle Peng

She lived in Sweden and taught Gou/GekiViolet how to do a legendary move. Her counterpart took her form in Jungle Fury.

New Go-buster Rumors

New Gobuster rumors from Dukemon22:

-Red's motif/partner is a Cheetah

-Blue's motif/partner is a Gorilla

-Yellow's motif/partner is a Rabbit

-It seems they are spies and will have spy-like arsenal like smartphones, cameras, etc.
-The forehead of the helmet has the face of the animal.
-The eyes of the helmet are sunglasses, similar to GokaiSilver in color.
-They look a little like Metal Heroes, maybe like DekaMaster (Shadow Ranger).


-There are Partner Robots, (Cheetah, Gorilla, Rabbit). Cheetah and Gorilla are person sized, and will be of the rubber-suit variety. Rabbit will be Bomper-esque in size.

-Red's Cheetah Robot can transform into a motorcycle.

- We might get photos by the end of November or as late as December 4th. Lavender Ranger likes the idea of a Rabbit.

Male Same-Sex Duos

 

Goraijers (Hurricanger - 2002) / Thunder Rangers (Ninja Storm - 2003)

Both brothers in both versions, both were additions to a main trio, they liked to be considered their own team. In Ninja Storm, the Thunder Rangers were more integrated and joined the team easily but in Hurricanger, they remained more to themselves. Rumors are that Disney and co. contemplated changing the gender for Navy Ranger, to make the team 'even' like they did with Yellow Rangers before to have two women, but in a some funny way it was made true in Gokaiger where Gokai Pink becomes Kuwagata Raijer and with a skirt.

Go-On Green and Go-On Black (Go-Onger - 2008) / Rangers Green and Black (RPM - 2009)

They didn't have a team name like the Goraijers, probably in anticipation for the Go-On Wings but they became part of the main team by episode 3, premiering in episode 2. In RPM, the focus was more on Ranger Black and Ranger Green was the comic relief. Dillon became Ranger Black in episode 3 and Ziggy joined in episode 4. I feel like the RPM two were more of a bromance duo, while the Go-Onger two were mostly with the five and most episodes didn't pair them togehter until the end to leave the trio alone.

Male and Female Hero Duos

 DekaMaster and DekaSwan (Dekaranger - 2004) / Shadow Ranger and Kat Ranger (PRSPD - 2005)

Even though we didn't see them fight together, Doggie Kruger and Swan Shitori were quite close. They are paired together in Gokaiger. Deka Master/Shadow Ranger are considered Sixth Rangers but Deka Break/Omega Ranger were considered Sixth Rangers more than anything. In Gokaiger, Deka Master is considered an Extra Hero, he has had many toys after him. Deka Swan only appeared in 2 episodes and Kat Ranger in one episode.

Magi Mother and Wolzard Fire (Magiranger - 2005) / White Mystic Ranger and Wolf Warrior (PRMF - 2006)

 First female-male duo but it wasn't instant to know, even though they both appeared in the first episode. They were married. In the first episode, the white one fought the purple one when he was evil. In Magiranger, Wolzard seemingly killed MagiMother. In Mystic Force, Koragg just de-powered Udonna by taking her staff. They both had figures and their own re-colored MagiPhones in Magiranger. In Mystic Force, only Koragg got figures and very little compared to his Japanese counterpart. Both have Gasphon Ranger Keys for Gokaiger. Of the Japanese figures, you can have Magi Mother and Wolzard Fire as a duo.

 

Rio and Mele (Gekiranger - 2007) / Dia Shi and Camile (PRJF - 2008)

There has been many other female-male villain duos, but in Gekiranger, they were they first to be seen as protagnists and later be allies. Mele/Camile was the first villainess to have a 'zord' that combined with good zords to become giant robos. Mele never got her own action figure during the run of Gekiranger, but she did get a special figure for Girls in Uniform. Camile did get an action figure for Jungle Fury called 'Melle.' Mele did get a Ranger Key from Gashapon. Of the American toys, you can have Dai Shi and Camile together as a duo.

Go-On Wings (Go-Onger - 2008) / Ranger Silver and Gold (RPM - 2009)

The first opposite-sex main duos that were 'sixth rangers', Go-On Silver and Go-On Gold are brother and sister. Silver got a figure during Go-Onger's run and RPM. In Gokaiger, Gai/GokaiSilver unites their two Ranger Keys into one key and becomes Go-On Wings, without a skirt (from Silver). From other Japanese and American collections, you can have toys of both duos.
