There are so many additional characters featured in the series, which is fitting considering the multi-locational nature of the story. The fact that there is a true King suggests the Red Ranger for the series could have stolen the powers from the ruler of the country, adding an extra layer to the story. The styles of the supporting characters are a perfect complement to the Rangers they serve, and it will be amazing to see their roles throughout the series.
The series promises to be very fleshed out and there are likely many storytelling opportunities before a 6th Ranger appears. It will be fantastic if there are additional Rangers to follow out of this selection of characters, but this remains to be seen.
