History Main / SixthRangerTraitor

* ''CorrectorYui'' - One of the nearest Yui's friends was the true Choosen One to be the titular Corrector, but I.R. choosed Yui because an error later explained she was then infected by Grosser [[spoiler: its Haruna, and no, its not "a hidden grudge" it was pure MindControl like it was later demonstrated with Shun]] before being recluted after Inukai tell everyone n the group about it, then after she tried to leave the group (cause Yui [[StatusQuoIsGod was better for the Correctors]]) Grosser takes her and [[BrainwashedAndCrazy turned her against Yui]], it was fixed on the next episode but she didn't return as a Corrector until the next season.[[spoiler: Haruna is eventually cured by Yui herself in an IKnowYouAreInThereSomewhereFight, goes under temporal retirement (she was still remaining as MissionControl) and, in the second season, [[HesBack she rejoins]] the team as SixthRanger]].

* Rick Murray from ''DegrassiTheNextGeneration''. Crazy, check. Ready to explode, check. Attacks his friends, check.

** ''FinalFantasyX'' - [[spoiler:Maester Seymour]] is a shining example of the trope, since he joins the party briefly before turning out to be an OmnicidalManiac and CompleteMonster.

* In ''GIJoe'' Sigma Six, [[spoiler:Firefly]] ends up betraying the team to Cobra.

* ''Left4Dead'' - "Ding Dong! Ding Dong! Better safe than sorry..."

* ''CorrectorYui'' - One of the nearest Yui's friends was the true Choosen One to be the titular Corrector, but I.R. choosed Yui because an error later explained she was then infected by Grosser [[spoiler: its Haruna, and no, its not "a hidden grudge" it was pure MindControl like it was later demonstrated with Shun]] before being recluted after Inukai tell everyone n the group about it, then after she tried to leave the group (cause Yui [[StatusQuoIsGod was better for the Correctors]]) Grosser takes her and [[BrainwashedAndCrazy turned her against Yui]], it was fixed on the next episode but she didn't return as a Corrector until the next season.[[spoiler: Haruna is eventually cured by Yui herself in an IKnowYouAreInThereSomewhereFight, goes under temporal retirement (she was still remaining as MissionControl) and, in the second season, [[HesBack she rejoins]] the team as SixthRanger]]]].

* ''CorrectorYui'' - [[spoiler: Haruna Kisaragi/Corrector Haruna]] turned out to [[spoiler:hold [[MoreThanMindControl a bit of a hidden grudge]] after she MissedTheCall, and just after she joined the group, Grosser took advantage of this and [[BrainwashedAndCrazy turned her against Yui]]. However, unlike most of the examples on this list, [[spoiler: Haruna is eventually cured by Yui herself in an IKnowYouAreInThereSomewhereFight, goes under temporal retirement (she still remaining as MissionControl) and, in the second season, [[HesBack she rejoins]] the team as SixthRanger]].
* In the second season opener of ''ScienceNinjaTeamGatchaman'', the team gets a new G-2 as a replacement for dead [[TheLancer Lancer]] "Condor Joe" Asakura, much to the others' discomfiture. Surprise! He's a Galactor agent. Double surprise! [[spoiler: Joe, BackFromTheDead, kills him.]]

* ''TheCrossoverlord'': [[spoiler: TheGreenAvenger was this. Justified, because she was brainwashed by Smiling Man.]]

Like the SixthRanger, The Sixth Ranger Traitor is its ''own'' villainous counterpart in a FiveBadBand, instead reflecting the member of the group who betrays the others, either by pulling a HeelFaceTurn, or simply for ther own ends.

* Alex from ''{{Runaways}}''. This was less about not changing the status quo, since the team constantly loses and gains members. Topher's betrayal causes the team to be initially suspicious of SixthRanger Victor, especially since they know he's [[LukeIAmYourFather the son of a villain]] (though they don't know which one for a while) and supposed destined to [[FaceHeelTurn turn evil]]. Of course, given that every single fricken one of them is the child of at least one, and in most cases two villains, what daya expect?

* William from ''CodeLyoko''. Although he is not evil, he got cocky to the point where XANA succeeded in taking him over. The surprise factor was actually legitimate, because the build-up was so long and William had already been [[PromotionToOpeningTitles promoted to opening credits]].

* Terra from ''TeenTitans''. In the original comics, she was TheMole working for Deathstroke, but in the cartoon, she underwent a FaceHeelTurn. If it wasn't obvious enough that Terra as a Titan wasn't going to last long, the episode following her joining the team as her suspiciously absent save a very brief non-speaking cameo in the end, and the title of the next episode when she actually appears as a member of the team? Betrayal.

* In [=~72 Hours~=], Bo is this to the wrestlers. When he moves to America, he falls in naturally with the sadistic group, but has no interest in slaughtering innocents with the others; he simply can't escape. During a battle with [[LaResistance SABRE]], he not only joins the enemy (pulling a complete HeelFaceTurn in the process) but does so in a way that cripples the enemy attack, saving his new friends' lives.

Just fair warning, this is a trope about betrayal. The names mentioned below may spoil the emotional drama their moment of betrayal brings. However, since Sixth Columns tend not to stay with their adoptive teams for long, that may not exactly be much.

Like the SixthRanger, The SixthColumn is its ''own'' villainous counterpart in a FiveBadBand, instead reflecting the member of the group who betrays the others, either by pulling a HeelFaceTurn, or simply for ther own ends.

The name comes from the term "[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifth_column fifth column]]" and SixthRanger.

Not to be confused with the RobertAHeinlein's novel of the same name, which is just the other way round. It also has nothing to do with the [[{{Bungie}} Seventh Column]]

SubTrope of TheMole.

* ''FreshPrettyCure'' - After Eas HeelFaceTurn, Northa acts as the SixthColumn as she proves to be much more sinister than Eas.

** Rather amusingly, Spike plays the SixthColumn role in season 4 -- selling out Buffy and the Scoobies to Adam - despite the fact that he makes no bones about being evil and hating the Scoobies the whole time:

making this to move the discussion.
