Gender Switching and Same Gender Body Changing in Sentai and PR

Fumiya and Remi of Fiveman

I heard they switch bodies by the monster of the week.

Billy as Pink and Kimberly as Blue (MMPR)
In the first season episode "Switching Places," Billy and Kimberly accidentally switch bodies when Squatt messes up Billy's machine. The story didn't match the footage, I would had liked it if they shot some new footage of the Blue Ranger acting like Kimberly and the Pink Ranger acting like Billy. In the reversion, they could had changed the backgrounds but they didn't. Bulk and Skull also switched bodies.

Astronema and Ashley (Power Rangers in Space)
Astronema switches her look thanks to a Body Switcher monster. Astronema as Ashley transformed into Yellow Ranger and Ashleya s Astronema transformed as well.

Sensei, Shane and Dustin (Ninja Storm)
Cam tries to make his father human again, because he is a guinea pig so he accidentally switches bodies with Shane and gets to be the Red Ranger and fight Kelzaks. He then accidentally switches with Dustin and fights Footzilla as the Yellow Ranger.

Yukito and Ryoga of Abaranger
They switch bodies in Episode 27.

Hoji and Wojonian Jinche (Dekaranger)Wojonian ried to escape deletion by switching bodies with Hoji in order to take control of the Deka Base Robo.

Sky and Wootox (SPD)
Wootox had an ability to switch bodies, he pressed his head to Sky and enter his luscious meaty body and even mimic his voice. He took off Sky's translator and he was stuck speaking Wootox's language but it made no sense. If Wootox had a translator, it meant he couldn't speak English so why was he able to speak English in Sky? OR it could be that Sky's body only could speak English and Wootox's body only could speak his language.

Kai and Houka (Magiranger)
Toad changed the brother and sister in Episodes 39 and 40. Houka made reference to having a penis. Anyway, Houka made a better Kai by appealing to the girl of his dreams. Kai complained that he had 'nothing' in his crotch. Anyhoo, they both learn from each other.

Sosuke Banki (Boukenger)
In Episode 12, Sosuke changes bodies with a monster. I forgot about this one!

Luka and Don (Gokaiger)
Switched by a monster, Luka used Don's body as a doll and was a better and cooler Don. Don didn't want harm to come to Luka so protected his power. Episode 28.

Shinkenger had a body changing episode but it was with inanimate objects, I wanted to do only human bodies. And yes yes, the monster switched with Chiaki but that was rather quick... The monster went from Chiaki to a ball and Chiaki was in the monster for a while.

Power Rangers: Male Non-Rubber Suit Villains

Like I did with Super Sentai, almost all villainesses in Power Rangers are actresses without rubber suits (many are not rubber, but you know what I mean) like the monsters. In Power Rangers, there is quite a few, especially in seasons that the Sentai counterpart didn't have a human male villain.

Ransik (Time Force)
Don Dornero was the main villain of Timeranger, which we know as Gluto, which became a big dumby waste of space. Ransik was added, my personal opinion on why they probably did was to add a big masculine force and also add on to the plot. Later, they tied up Ransik with the Orgs to explain how he took swords out of his bones.

Master Org (Wild Force)
While the 'Master Org' was just a figurehead in Gaoranger, Wild Force's Master Org was an original creation but with the costume of the Emperor in Dairanger. I liked that they tied in Viktor to Cole's story. In the end, he became an Org monster and died.

Lothor (Ninja Storm-Dino Thunder)

The main villain of Hurricanger, Tao Zanto, was not seen in Ninja Storm but his final form did become Lothor's zord. Lothor was played by the same actor that played Sensei, as they were twins. I didn't like his outfit, I don't think it matched with the other villains and his mask looked like a Luchador (wrestler) costume mask.

Mesogog (Dino Thunder)
Mesogog's human form Anton Mercer was not exactly villainous but he was the same actor who voiced Mesogog.

Emperor Grumm (SPD)
Played by the same guy who plays Jii in PRS, he voiced Grumm and showed a human disguise in the Shadow two-parter.

Thrax
Rita and Zedd's son, only appeared in two episodes of PROO. His armor was part of Zeltrax's, had a bit of Zedd's body and bone aspects that could be from his Uncle Rito. You couldn't really see his human face, but he had a rather good looking actor who also does stunts.

Dai Shi/Jarrod (Jungle Fury)
The concept of Dai Shi was exclusive to Power Rangers, he didn't exist in Gekiranger. But of course, he didn't have a costume until the end, the big dragon, but that was from Gekiranger. I personally believe the concept of Dai Shi was to give an excuse for Jarrod to be morally responsible for his evil actions like Rio was. Jarrod is the 1st male human villain to be transferred from Sentai to Power Rangers and to also have a similar costume to his Japanese Counterpart. 'Dai' means great in Japanese and 'Shi' means Lion, so his name could be 'Great Lion,' like I have said before--there is confusing about what Dai Shi and Jarrod did or who was in control, mostly to be blamed on the writers.

Deker
Deker is a Nighlok swordsman that can assume a human form. Considers the Red Ranger to be his greatest challenge for his sword Uramasa. Played by Rick Medina, who played Cole in PRWF. He is the second male human villain to be transferred from Sentai to Power Rangers and to also have a similar costume to his Japanese Counterpart.

How Rangers related to Selected Extra Heroes?

Lavender Ranger here, I chose to do only cover a few of the Extra Heroes, not all of them.

SUPER SENTAI

Ninjaman and the Kakuranger
I have no idea how they related because I haven't seen those episodes. Anybody know?

Signalman and the Carranger
This alien dude comes out of nowhere and gives Red Racer a ticket. he was a nuisance but eventually accepted as a friend. He briefly became evil and they had to fix the situation.

VRV Master and the Carranger
He appeared out of nowhere for just one episode or two, they didn't know what to make of him. He didn't really join the team, he just showed up and then disappeared.

Original Bull Black and Gingaman
He had his own agenda and the Gingaman were confused on what was going on, it came to conflict when it came to the Lights of Ginga. Eventually Bull Black did the right thing.

Hyuuga and the Gingaman
They accept them instantly, he still had remorse. He was kinda of a Sixth Ranger but officially counted as an Extra Hero in Gokaiger. Just for the record, he was counted as a Sixth Ranger in Bandai Museum (he was with the other Sixth Rangers) and was also included in a Sixth Ranger Stageshow event years ago (I think it was in 2002 or something).

Doggie and the Dekaranger
He was their boss and they had no choice but to follow him but yeah they accepted him. He is believed to be the Sixth Ranger by fans as he came sixth. As for Swan, they had no problem with her joining, she only transformed in 2 eps.

Miyuki and her kids
She shocks them by transforming in the first episode and then she dies, she always accepted her. But she left the heavy lifting to them. She doesn't really count as a sixth ranger.

Wolzard Fire and Magiranger
He was evil first but not by choice and then when he was good, he protected his children in a new form. Of course they accepted him.

Rio and Mele and Gekiranger
They were evil, then remorse and weren't accepted by Ran and Retsu. They then wanted them to kill them, they did kamikaze attacks saving their friends and dying for a good cause.

POWER RANGERS

Blue Senturion and the Turbo Rangers
Uncharted terrority with extra heroes in Power Rangers realm, he wasn't exactly a Sixth Ranger but he did become evil for a brief time. They accepted his help.

Original Magna Defender and the Galaxy Rangers
He had his own agenda and the Rangers were confused on what was going on, it came to conflict when it came to the Lights of Orion. Eventually Magna Defender did the right thing.

Doggy and Kat and the B-Squad
Doggy was their boss and a rough one at that, but when he became Shadow Ranger, they instantly accept him so much that they depended too much on him. As for Kat, they had no problem with her being a Ranger but she chose to just be one for one episode.

Udonna and the Mystic Rangers
They accepted her as she was their teacher and boss, but she lost her powers, she left the heavy duty to them. She didn't count as the Sixth Ranger.

Koragg and the Mystic Rangers
He was evil first but not by choice and then when he was good, he then got a recolored a form. Of course they accepted him.

Jarrod and Camile and the Jungle Fury Ranger
They were evil, then when Dai Shi was expelled from Jarrod, they reformed and fought for a good cause and were accepted by the others.
