* [[The Hero]]
* [[Heroes Prefer Swords]]
Line 9:
* [[Older and Wiser]]
* [[Parental Substitute]]: To Justin.
* [[Put Onon a Bus]]: Halfway through, so he could go to whatever really accelerated program takes you from high school to Ph.D. in less than seven years. Didn't appear again until ''[[Power Rangers Wild Force]]'' (for the "Forever Red" special) and ''[[Power Rangers Dino Thunder]]''.
 
=== {{color|green|Adam Park / Green Turbo Ranger I}} | <small>(Actor: [[Johnny Yong Bosch]])</small> ===
Line 15:
* [[The Lancer]]
** [[The Big Guy]] (sometimes)
* [[Put Onon a Bus]]: Halfway through, though he came back for a single adventure only [[Power Rangers in Space|a year later]] (and again in ''[[Power Rangers Operation Overdrive]]'').
 
=== {{color|fuchsia|Kat Hillard / Pink Turbo Ranger I}} | <small>(Actress: Catherine Sutherland)</small> ===
Line 23:
* [[Dance Battler]]: You can see some ballet influence in her fighting, now that Catherine Sutherland's doing her own stunts.
* [[Official Couple]]: With Tommy.
* [[Put Onon a Bus]]: Halfway through, and [[Word of God]] (from two separate production regimes (specifically, Wild Force's head writer and Dino Thunder's showrunner)), at that confirms that she married Tommy several years later.
* [[Team Mom]]: At least to Justin.
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Girly Girl to Tanya's Tomboy.
Line 33:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
* [[Power Fist]]
* [[Put Onon a Bus]]: Halfway through, and never heard from again.
** [[Executive Meddling]]: She and Adam were originally going to stay on after Tommy and Kat left, but they decided to get rid of all four veterans instead.
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Tomboy to Kat's Girly Girl.
Line 47:
* [[Kid Appeal Character]]
* [[Kid Hero]]
* [[Pint -Sized Powerhouse]]: Once got bitten by a radioactive ant and got super-strength in "Little Strong Man", but unfortunately had to give it up to continue being a Power Ranger.
* [[Put Onon a Bus]]: "Chase into Space". Came back for ''[[Power Rangers in Space]]'' episode "True Blue to the Rescue".
* [[Sizeshifter]]/[[Older Alter Ego]]: Whenever he morphed into a Ranger, his body's height grew to match those of the other rangers (while his voice is still sounded like his usual 12-year-old self), for [[Stock Footage|no apparent reason given]].
* [[The Smart Guy]] ([[Badass Bookworm]])
* [[Tagalong Kid]]: '''Inverted''', since he can actually put up a good fight.
** Further inverted after the cast turn-over, which makes him the most experienced Ranger of the five.
* [[Tomato in Thethe Mirror]]: In "The Robot Ranger", Justin begins to freak out after he discovers all the other rangers are robots -- then the reveal is that {{spoiler|he's one, too! Then the ''real'' Justin walks out and reveals that the whole thing was an experiment to see if they could build perfect robot rangers for Zordon and Alpha}}.
* [[When You Coming Home, Dad?]]: His dad wants to be there for him, but has difficulty finding a job. It's resolved by the end of the series, and keeping the family together is the main (in-universe) reason he doesn't go into space with the other Rangers. His brief reappearance in ''Space'' reinforces the happy ending.
 
=== {{color|red|Theodore Jay "T.J." Jarvis Johnson / Red Turbo Ranger II}} | <small>(Actor: Selwyn Ward)</small> ===
Line 66:
* [[Heroes Prefer Swords]]
* [[Law of Chromatic Superiority]]: One season before the Battlizer, he and Justin got command of the two sentient super-vehicles.
* [[NamesName's the Same]]: Let's see... Friendly, easygoing, protective of his friends, the leader, his first initial stands for Theodore, the "J" part is an [[Embarrassing Middle Name]] and instead goes by his initials. [[Recess|Sounds familiar, huh?]]
* [[Nice Guy]]: Possibly one of the most laid-back and easy-going Red Rangers ''ever''. The guy was even nice to Bulk and Skull!

=== Rocky DeSantos | <small>(Actor: Steve Cardenas)</small> ===
* [[Put Onon a Bus]]: Injured his back during a martial arts practice in the Turbo movie, which enforced him to quit his duties as a Ranger, allowing little Justin [[Replacement Scrappy|to step in as the new Blue Ranger]].
** This was because Steve Cardenas [[Real Life Writes the Plot|suffered a legit back injury]] during production on the final episodes of ''[[Power Rangers ZEOZeo]]'' and the fact that Fox wanted Justin. (For the record, Cardenas has no regrets, because [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|he liked Justin and wouldn't have gotten to meet Blake Foster otherwise]].)

* [[Those Two Guys]]
* [[What Could Have Been]]: There were officially plans for Bulk and Skull to get their own ''[[Fawlty Towers]]''-esque spin-off series, where they run a hotel with a Mexican Elvis Presley impersonator called "El Vez", hence Paul Schrier and Jason Narvy's initial absence from the series. When the spin-off idea was scrapped, they later came back on the set again.
