However, ''Geats'' ends up being a subversion: while he's the title character and is consistently presented with pieces of red armor in advertising and promotional material, he's not actually the hero of the story; either in the sense of being the main character or morally upright -- both of those traits go to SupportingProtagonist Kamen Rider Tycoon, while Geats is a manipulative AntiHero. Plus, he doesn't actually have the red parts of the armor most of the time in the show, as it comes from an AmplifierArtifact that ''all'' the Riders take turns using and the color instead represents [[RedOnesGoFaster the item's enhanced strength]].

** The Red Ranger is always TheHero and almost always TheLeader to boot, to the point of being a potential TropeCodifier. At the end of ''Super Sentai'''s 25th anniversary movie, the previous Reds showed up out of nowhere to donate their power to the current team's mecha.

season.
** Played with in ''Series/JAKQDengekitai''. The series started with a Red Ranger named Spade Ace in the lead; but a ReTool brought in a white-colored SixthRanger, Big One, and had him upstage Spade Ace as team leader and the face of the series. But Spade Ace is still used as the team's representative when the franchise's Red Rangers are gathered together.

** Played with in ''Series/KikaiSentaiZenkaiger''. It's a team composed of one human and four robots, and the human team leader Zenkaiser is a ''White'' Ranger (similar to Big One). However, he still has a lot of red on his suit, so he doesn't stick out too much from the established line of Red Rangers. The actual Red Ranger of the Zenkaigers is one of the robots, Juran, who serves as Zenkaiser's [[TheLancer Lancer]]. The situation is also lampshaded in a spinoff; a scheme to turn the Zenkaigers into a "normal" Sentai team includes a "Zenkai Red" trying to usurp control from Zenkaiser.

Sorry, but eponymous is a word that lacks origin despite coming from a Greek word for "title". You should use a proper English word instead.

* ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' / ''Franchise/PowerRangers'':
** The Red Ranger is always TheHero and almost always TheLeader to boot, to the point of being a potential TropeCodifier. At the end of ''Super Sentai'''s 25th anniversary movie, the previous Reds showed up out of nowhere to donate their power to the current team's mecha.

** The franchise also has [=AkaRed=], the living embodiment of Super Sentai's power, who can [[PowerCopying draw upon the power of all Red Rangers]]. He only really shows up for {{Milestone Celebration}}s, like ''Series/GoGoSentaiBoukenger'', ''Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger'', and ''Series/DoubutsuSentaiZyuohger'' (the 30th, 35th, and 40th series respectively).
** ''Series/KaitouSentaiLupinrangerVSKeisatsuSentaiPatranger'' has two Ranger teams competing with one another. To help sell the idea that neither team is more of the protagonists than the other, both teams have their own Red Ranger. (It didn't work, as the Lupinrangers were more popular and became a SpotlightStealingSquad.)
* ''Franchise/KamenRider'':
** While the [[Series/KamenRider original Kamen Riders]] were primarily green and black, they also had notable red accents including one of their famous trademarks, the red ScarfOfAsskicking.
** The franchise has really embraced red in recent years, especially the modern Heisei era. Out of the 20 Heisei protagonist Riders, seven have red as the primary color of their default form,[[note]]Kuuga, Ryuki, Kabuto, Den-O, Kiva, Wizard, Drive[[/note]] two have red as a secondary but important color,[[note]]Faiz has red TronLines running down his suit, while OOO is usually one-third red and thematically tied to the color via his HeterosexualLifePartner ally Ankh[[/note]] six have "red adjacent" colors in their primary form,[[note]]Hibiki (purple with red trim), Decade and Ex-Aid (pink/magenta), Gaim and Ghost (both orange), and Zi-O (also magenta, but as a prominent secondary color)[[/note]] and two of the remaining ones have a primary-red alternate form[[note]]Agito Flame Form and Fourze Fire States[[/note]] (as do some of those previously mentioned). Double and Build have half-colored costumes, with Build having red on his base form (which is also thematically tied to the character himself) while Double has a [[KillItWithFire fire-elemental]] alternate form. The only Heisei Rider to defy the theme completely is Blade, who has some incidental red elements (his eyes and some accents) but otherwise, the primary color of all his suits is navy blue/indigo.
*** When the production staff of ''Series/KamenRiderDouble'' wanted their hero to be something ''other'' than red, they had to fight for it; they ended up making Double's primary form green and black, then arguing to Toei's bigwigs that those were the colors of [[Series/KamenRider the original Kamen Rider]], which succeeded.
*** ''Series/KamenRiderGhost'' takes it a step further in the Legend Rider mini-episodes, where he gets a form that draws upon the power of all the Heisei Riders prior to him; naturally, it's red with white accents.
** This continues into the following Reiwa era; while Zero-One was primarily yellow and black, he was followed by Saber who does have a suit with a lot of red.
* Most [[Franchise/UltraSeries Ultramen]], starting with [[Series/{{Ultraman}} the original]], tend to use a red and silver color scheme.
** There are silver (Ultraman, [[Series/ReturnOfUltraman Ultraman Jack]], [[Series/UltramanAce Ultraman Ace]], [[Series/UltramanEighty Ultraman Eighty]], etc.) and red Ultras ([[Series/UltraSeven Ultraseven]], [[Series/UltramanTaro Ultraman Taro]], [[Series/UltramanLeo Ultraman Leo and Astra]], [[Series/UltramanMax Ultraman Max]], [[Series/UltramanMebius Ultraman Mebius]], etc.), classified according to how much red is in the costume. These red Ultras tend to be more powerful than their silver counterparts.
* In ''Series/{{Merlin|2008}}'', the knights of Camelot look quite dashing their [[http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://images5.fanpop.com/image/photos/29400000/knights-of-Camelot-the-adventures-of-merlin-29410041-618-411.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.fanpop.com/clubs/the-adventures-of-merlin/images/29410041/title/knights-camelot&h=411&w=618&sz=97&tbnid=275BxGbNuEZF8M:&tbnh=90&tbnw=135&zoom=1&usg=__ViLqsJ16QT-ThbNXgtLtnoZvP-w=&docid=gL9-riZObSK0fM&sa=X&ei=Lfc5UYCIOLCn0AGu-IHIAg&ved=0CGEQ9QEwBw&dur=20 red capes.]] Ironically, in the earlier seasons before the Round Table was established, this also marked them out as RedShirts.
** King Arthur is always seen wearing the color red, whether it's a shirt or his Pendragon cape.
** Merlin often wears red combined with blue.
* The eponymous hero in ''Series/BIMASatriaGaruda'' has a color scheme dominated by red.
* Roy Harper in ''Series/{{Arrow}}'', both [[http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130221131854/marvel_dc/images/d/dc/Roy_Harper_Arrow_TV_Series_002.png before]] and [[http://cdn.screenrant.com/wp-content/uploads/Roy-Harper-Arsenal-in-Arrow-Season-3-570x757.jpg after]] becoming Arsenal.
* ''Series/{{Once Upon A Time}}'': Main character Emma Swan is iconic for her red leather jacket. It appears in most every episode of Season 1 and the show's initial advertisements. Additionally, she dons an all-red gown and bright red lipstick for her first official ball in Season 3.
* ''Series/Daredevil2015'' and ''Series/TheDefenders2017'': Red is the color associated with Matt Murdock, although it isn't until the end of season 1 that he gets his iconic red devil costume.
* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'': Willow Rosenberg has red hair, and is a member of the Scooby Gang, a group of people protecting the world from the nasties in a Hellmouth. Faith and Spike even call her "[[AffectionateNickname Red]]."
* ''Franchise/StarTrek'':
** On ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' and ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise'', Starfleet officers in the operations division (e.g. engineering and security (the {{Red Shirt}}s)) wore red uniforms, while command division officers wore yellow and science division officers wore blue. By the time of ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan'', all Starfleet officers wore red uniforms with undershirts signifying which division they belonged to (e.g. command officers wore white and engineering officers wore yellow), with trainees and cadets wearing red. By the time of ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'', Starfleet switched back to the TOS-era three color division uniforms, though this time, command officers wore red and operations officers wore yellow.
** On ''Series/StarTrekPicard'', the heroes fly a civilian freighter called ''La Sirena'', which sports a primarily red paint job in contrast to the battleship gray of Starfleet ships.
