Why There Is No KyoryuYellow
By  | February 18, 2013

20130215-00028313-r25-001-1-viewA Yellow Sentai member has been a tradition for 26 years, starting from Flashman. The new series, Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger, breaks this tradition and chief producer, Takahito Ohmori explains why there is no KyoryuYellow.

“This is actually not the first time a team is without a Yellow member, J.A.K.Q, Battle Fever J and Dengeki Sentai Changeman never had a Yellow member. When it was decided that the Kyoryuger’s would be required to defeat a dinosaur in order to be able to transform, we wanted the characters to be absurdly strong. In order to show this, we chose to have more male characters over female characters. Seeing how modern Yellows have been female, we couldn’t have a male Yellow. If the Yellow was a male, the kids would probably think is feminine and we wanted to avoid that.”

    But why couldn’t they ever consider giving the female a different ranger color? We’ve already had female blues before and even had a Female Red in Shinkenger. We’ve never had a black female before. Green would’ve worked too in Go-Busters had their been a ranger operating the Frog Robot (Especially since the frog Buddyroid was female). Not to mention the colors Purple and Orange that have only been rarely used.

    With Liveman, Hurricanger, Abaranger, Gekiranger, and Go-Busters, what was nice about them was that even though there was only one female in all of them, they were a different color other than pink which was substituted for either Yellow or Blue. It’s so irritating that the Pink has to Always be a female just because Japan still must be under the ancient stereotype that Pink is only a girls color.

    Ninja Storm/Hurricanger at least did not have the female be Pink.

    What’s Awesome about Akibaranger, even if it’s unofficial is that there is only 1 guy and 2 girls.

    So instead they make the black ranger famine with his pose… Job well done.

    Hey! Why was there really no Pink Buster?!

    Yellow Flash wasn’t the first yellow, it was just the first of the 27 consecutive yellows.

    Goranger, the original sentai, was the first to have a yellow. Every sentai before Flashman except JAKQ, Battle Fever J, and Changeman had one too. It’s not something that Flashman started.

    But they won’t think that the pink one is feminine?

    wouldn’t that be stereotyping that pink is a weak color?
