** A two-episode story in ''Series/ChoudenshiBioman'' had a man declare himself to be the sixth member of Bioman, and while the rangers are impressed with his combat abilities, they reject him when he tests negative for bio particles, but then the villains trick him into being their test subject for making their own evil rangers and mind control him into attacking the Biomen.
** ''Series/GekisouSentaiCarranger'' had White Racer, a girl from space who uses magic to dress up as the sixth member of Carranger because she thinks they are cool. While she never becomes a full member of the team, she does help them several times and goes from a joke character to a competent hero.
** Emiri from ''Series/BakuryuuSentaiAbaranger'' wanted to become Abare Pink after failing to become Abare Yellow but she is never successful. In one episode she made her own Abare Pink suit, which was mostly useless as it had no powers.
