Standing out in the worst way, the Gold Ranger dons a cowboy hat, tasseled poncho, and guitar gun-blade. The producers took the Gold Ninja Steel Ranger in a bizarre direction, using the star motif to represent a sheriff's star. In truth, it ranks this low solely for the introduction of the sixth ranger. With that said, you'd think that this season would be much higher on this list. The designs made sense given the season's focus, and the ninja star helmets are an inspired design choice given how these ancient weapons influence the lore and the Rangers' morphers. Given the suite of other tight-fitting suits in the franchise, Ninja Steel's costumes were a brilliant change of pace, grounding the season in its ninja themes and in reality. On the one hand, franchise designers were more inspired by Japanese cultural clothing, basing the team's costumes on traditional depictions of ninjas.
