It is not the first time that that a yellow Sentai member has been excluded in the roster. In Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger, chief producer, Takahito Ohmori tells us 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.”
Editors note: How it was explained is highly debatable since on other sentai series, a Yellow member has been proven to be a strong boyish character (i.e. Luka Milfy, Gokaiger) and in one point portrayed by a male character (i.e. Chojin Sentai Jetman). What do you think?
