In Japan it's considered patriotic. Their flag is a rising sun which is red. Most heroes in Japan wear hot colors while the second-in command usually contrasts with the color.. Now in the States we got multiple instances where Red wasn't the leader. The first instance was Tommy becoming the leader when he became the White Ranger. Delphine was the White Alien Ranger and leader of her team. Jen Scotts the Pink Time Force Ranger was the leader of the Time Force Ranger. Taylor Earnhardt was the Wild Force Yellow and the leader until Cole joins. Once A Ranger Adam the veteran Black Ranger that lead an auxiliary team.
But Red is still the face of the team. Also in Super Sentai, there were teams when the Red Ranger explicitly wasn’t the leader: Kakuranger, Megaranger, Timeranger, Dekaranger, Gekiranger, Zenkaiger
The color red is symbol of courage, leadership, and also the symbol of heroes in Japan and mostly through out the world. Jason past down the leadership to Tommy when he left due the actor of the character had contract disputes with the company.
That still doesn't answer why. The vid cleared it up better by explaining that red has the psychological association with strength and courage. The west has a similar association but we aldo relate it to recklessness and adrenaline, which is why a lot of fast food chains make it their primsry colour as do marketting campaigns; to get your blood pumping and make you more impulsive.
Not true lmao red symbolize courage strength leadership red is a warm color when people see red they feel safe comfortable and at rest hence Spiderman Superman the flash daredevil etc
Dino thunder black,wild force yellow,jungle fury purple,spd blue and green(who both became the red ranger down the line),dino fury pink(who becomes cosmic fury red). I kinda feel like these should also be included.
I always assumed they were tropes that were usually followed red is leader, Blue is smart, Yellow is moral compass, Green is comic relief, Black is the cool one, Pink is girl and gold silver and white get anything
Also technically Commander Kruger AKA The Shadow Ranger from SPD was the leader of the SPD ranges but the Red Ranger did was the main team leader. Also RJ was the jungle fury Sensei and became a ranger later which was the purple ranger. He was the mentor of the jungle fury rangers until that Red Ranger could take the role. Also udana from mystic Force which actually started out as a white ranger that lost her powers was mentor to the mystic Force, right? But also in super Sentai, they were a couple other rangers that want the color red. JAKQ and Zenkaiger had a white Sentai with multiple colors on them. Power Rangers super Dino charge is falling the same footsteps as the super Sentai series Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger where the main Red Ranger turns into a white form. Favorite Red Ranger, ummm can't say...
I'm partial to both Mystic Red just because I feel he has one of the Best and Strongest Backstories out of the Franchise the Second Red Ranger I like is Megaforce/Super Megaforce Red as I like his Opening Scene where it is through him we get a bit of a tease of the Season Final, and the Final Ranger Red I like is In Space Red as I like everything about him, and with his sister being a Mind Washed Baddy is a Great Adage to the Season.
Honestly, I thought it was tied to Sun Wu Kong and how Journey to the West formulated the five man band and the concept of the leader representing the element of fire (red)
Several exceptions being Big 1 from J.A.K.Q, and Tsuruhime from Kakuranger, who are both White colored sentai heroes, so White can also be leaders, but to be fair some red rangers have alternate White forms like Shishi Red from Kyuranger.
I think the question that's more of a head scratcher is why such a big responsibility. Always lands on a couple of teens shoulders. Outside of the obvious real world answer (target demographic appeal).
Green was Tommy first Ranger color in MMPR. His second color is White, third is Red, and his return in Dino Thunder was a mentor and as The Black Ranger.
If memory serves, Jen was leader because their original red ranger, Alex, "died". And for what it's worth, Tommy was a red ranger more times than a white ranger.
Tommy first becomes the leader as the White Ranger. As for Jen, a popular character who was the leader of her squad from the future given the task of stopping Ransik by her supposedly dying fiancee Alex. In my opinion she was not a good leader. She is emotionally compromised. She gives her team nothing. If they strictly followed her their mission would have been a failure. It was Wes that advises them, gets the place for them to live, and a way to blend in. He even saves her multiple times.
@@matthewrosenthal753 in the second half of power rangers Time Force wes did took over leadership of the time force rangers Jen put her full trust in him to lead the team throughout the rest of the series
@@pascruel yeah I know Jen was the leader of the time force rangers and as the season continues Jen gave the leadership role to Wes she put her for trust in him
My favourite red ranger is actually Eric Myers the Quantum Ranger, but besides him the my favourite out of the designated main ones is Wes Collins, which is not the leader in Power Rangers Time Force where the leader is the pink ranger, Jen.
They do have the bravy and courage thier the most impossible battles, it seem to overcome but thanks powerful upgrades like Battllizers and Super dino mode from Dino thunder almost any monster can't stand a chance🦾🦾.
I had a feeling red was a popular colour in Japan thanks to Pokemon Go. A friend of mine used a spoof account to make his account go over there to change a few gyms to Mystic (blue) and within a few seconds, they were quickly changed back to Valor (red). My friend mentioned how many red gyms he saw when he tried this.
Similar in Lion prides what lions do in africa they defend thier team against evil Villain minions and Generals and some Power ranger leaders are not Red rangers in shows📺📺.
I guess it was just because It was considered a feminine color in U.S. they wanted more than one female so they changed the Male Ranger into Female in the U.S. Adaptation. In Japan the character archetype for the Yellow could be a hot blooded hot headed youth as the youngest member of the team, the lovable gentle giant with a big appetite, or the more tomboyish girl in contrast to the girlier pink Ranger other times Yellow can be the big sister as well. There was a couple of times where the happy go lucky and laid back person was Yellow.

Answer: red is the primary color for superheroes in Japan
That actually makes a lot of sense
That still doesn't answer why.

I'm very happy to see the PR:Samurai gang used as the main example.
Fr
Cause red is a goat color
Because red ranger is always the best ranger plain and simple.
Dino thunder black,wild force yellow,jungle fury purple,spd blue and green(who both became the red ranger down the line),dino fury pink(who becomes cosmic fury red). I kinda feel like these should also be included.
To Quote Takato In Digimon Tamers "Red Is definitely a power color"
I always assumed they were tropes that were usually followed red is leader, Blue is smart, Yellow is moral compass, Green is comic relief, Black is the cool one, Pink is girl and gold silver and white get anything
Bro... pink is girl, that was dirty lmao
@@JasonAizatoZemeckis 😂😂 no thats the trait most or all of the colors have in common across the series i swear I’m not on a misogynist type beat
@@zyairrbissoon I know it was a joke lmao, it had to be said
I loved jen Scott's she's one of my favorites 💜
He was not always The Team Leader Tommy as The White Ranger took over for a while.
That’s why the title is *usually*
@@locodesert2 Hmm i read it as always that's odd oh well my bad.
White Alien ranger was leader and Time Force Pink were leaders of their teams
Tommy took over when Jason's actor Austin left the show due to contract disputes, he then past down his leadership to Tommy.
@@mareo187 it was more taken from Jason and given to Tommy by Zordon 😅

mentor doesn't necessarily mean leader.. ie: Zordon was the mentor but the Red ranger was the leader of the team.
SPD Red is my favourite

Did you forget Tommy was also the Black Dino Ranger?
Yes, but Tommy did acknowledge that the Red Dino Thunder ranger was the overall leader of the team.
Honestly, I thought it was tied to Sun Wu Kong and how Journey to the West formulated the five man band and the concept of the leader representing the element of fire (red)
Even on Voltron.
No surpass Jason at all he learned from Jason an he still deferred to him in forever red
1:47 isn't that the lion fire zord from ninja steel

Tommy was also in Dino Thunder. But I think he was green. And he was a mentor to the red ranger.
Green was Tommy first Ranger color in MMPR. His second color is White, third is Red, and his return in Dino Thunder was a mentor and as The Black Ranger.
TWO OF THE 4 ZORDS THAT FOR THE SAMURAI BIT ARE WRONG
Funny how in the nes days the first player was blue and the second player red. 🤷🏻♂️
Wasn't Jen (Pink Ranger) the leader in Time Force? And didn't Tommy become the new leader when he became the White Ranger in Season 2?
If memory serves, Jen was leader because their original red ranger, Alex, "died". And for what it's worth, Tommy was a red ranger more times than a white ranger.

No red ranger is the leader in time force.
@bpnk5237 Actually it's Jen the Pink Time Force Ranger
Red is my favourite color
They do have the bravy and courage thier the most impossible battles, it seem to overcome but thanks powerful upgrades like Battllizers and Super dino mode from Dino thunder almost any monster can't stand a chance🦾🦾.
Off-topic I remember finding out that because of Super Sentai they can't have a full-blooded asian red power ranger American-wise.
What does this mean?
So unrelated but
The reason Chars Zaku is "3x faster" is only because of how colors work. How the eyes perceive color. ☕
Cus red is the most cliche color ever
Cause red is the best color in the world

Unless your Tommy , he gets the girl and is the leader even if he's not the red ranger.
What about laura in samirai rangers
Another outstanding video many thanks
It’s time to have male pink rangers.
Similar in Lion prides what lions do in africa they defend thier team against evil Villain minions and Generals and some Power ranger leaders are not Red rangers in shows📺📺.
Nice
bcoz his the red ranger?
Pour choise to start with
❤😊❤
Not true in time force Jen led the team wes was 2nd In command
Why most of the yellow rangers are females
And why are most blue rangers males respectively
I guess it was just because It was considered a feminine color in U.S. they wanted more than one female so they changed the Male Ranger into Female in the U.S. Adaptation. In Japan the character archetype for the Yellow could be a hot blooded hot headed youth as the youngest member of the team, the lovable gentle giant with a big appetite, or the more tomboyish girl in contrast to the girlier pink Ranger other times Yellow can be the big sister as well. There was a couple of times where the happy go lucky and laid back person was Yellow.
@@deviousj5868 Also in sentai there were female blue rangers.
90th
We need a PIMP RANGER lol
Because he just is. Jesus Christ
Fan of Tommy was a coo ranger, but was trash as red ranger.
Because they can reproduce better.
Power ranger special effects have barely improved from the 90s, its so awful l
Red isn't always I mean mmpr white became leader
There are countless examples of other Rangers besides Red being the team leader
