Power Rangers Unleash a Groundbreaking New Ranger Color After a 30-Year Wait

Summary

The introduction of Power Rangers Cosmic Fury brings an exciting revelation as a fresh Power Ranger color is unveiled through the iconic Zords: Orange. Remarkably, this marks a historic milestone in the franchise's three-decade-long journey, introducing the inaugural Orange Ranger.

Jacqueline Joe, known for her role as Fern in Power Rangers Dino Fury, will be joining the main cast of Power Rangers Cosmic Fury. This exciting news leads to speculation that Fern will be joining the ranks of the Power Rangers in the upcoming season.

Should Fern take on the role of the Orange Ranger, she and her girlfriend Izzy, who currently portrays Dino Fury's Green Ranger, will have the chance to become Ranger partners.

Power Rangers' latest intro for Power Rangers Cosmic Fury all but confirms the inclusion of a never-before-seen Power Ranger color in the franchise's 30-year history on television. Throughout the past three decades, Power Rangers has showcased numerous lineups and colors, albeit following a similar pattern established by the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. However, this trend is about to change with Cosmic Fury, the new Power Rangers series that only partially adapts elements from Uchu Sentai Kyuranger. Setting itself apart from previous installments, the Cosmic Fury team will don original costumes. Notably, the Cosmic Fury intro unveils that the Power Rangers' 30th season will introduce a completely new Power Ranger color.

Power Rangers Cosmic Fury Confirms An Orange Ranger

The introduction of Power Rangers Cosmic Fury confirms that the Orange Scorpion Zord will be included in the new Megazord for this season. It would be illogical for the Megazord to have an orange Zord without an Orange Ranger, thus strongly indicating the presence of an Orange Ranger in Cosmic Fury. The Orange Ranger in Power Rangers Cosmic Fury will be the first of its kind in the Power Rangers' television canon, excluding a comedic appearance in Power Rangers S.P.D. Additionally, the intro reveals the identity of the new Ranger who will join the Dino Fury team on their upcoming adventure.

Jacqueline Joe, who previously portrayed Fern as a supporting character in Power Rangers Dino Fury for two seasons, has now joined the primary cast of Power Rangers Cosmic Fury. Previous Power Rangers intros have only highlighted the Power Rangers themselves and the villains, which suggests that Fern will indeed become a Power Ranger in Cosmic Fury. While it is not unprecedented for a supporting character to become a Power Ranger, such as the Stone Canyon trio in Mighty Morphin or Trent, the White Ranger in Dino Thunder, their roles were designed with future Ranger status in mind. Whether Fern was always intended to join the Power Rangers remains unclear.

What Fern As The Orange Ranger Means For Cosmic Fury

Power Rangers Dino Fury introduced various supporting characters who played important roles in the Power Rangers' everyday lives. Notably, Fern became Izzy's girlfriend, marking the first LGBTQ+ couple in the history of Power Rangers' TV series. As the second season of Power Rangers Dino Fury progressed, Green Ranger Izzy disclosed her superhero alter ego to Fern, ensuring that their relationship would endure despite living in separate cities. However, the return of Lord Zedd in Cosmic Fury presented a new challenge that required the Rangers to venture into space, raising questions about the future of Izzy and Fern's romance in the upcoming series.

According to the new introduction, it appears that Fern may become the Orange Ranger in Power Rangers' new installment, implying that Izzy and Fern will now be Ranger partners. Fern is well-acquainted with the entire Dino Fury Power Rangers team and often spends time with them, making her a perfect fit for the role of the new Ranger. Although Fern is depicted in purple in the Cosmic Fury intro, the video does not depict Power Rangers' Red Ranger Amelia in red or Zenith Ranger Zayto in their expected "champagne color." Additionally, it is worth noting that Kelson Henderson, who previously portrayed an Orange Ranger in a comedic S.P.D. scene, will be returning for Cosmic Fury, further supporting the possibility of a Power Rangers Cosmic Fury Orange Ranger.
