!!!'''Ryunosuke Ikenami/Shinken Blue''' | [-Actor: Creator/HirokiAiba-]

-> "Similarly, Blue. Ikenami Ryunosuke."

Ryunosuke was considered TheScrappy by many early in the show's run, but [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap that call was very premature]]. Perhaps due to being the product of both samurai and kabuki training, underneath that [[LargeHam hammy exterior]] is [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass one of the most devoted and competent members of the team]].

* NoSell: A truly heartbreaking example; Kotoha was immune to an Ayakashi's power to incapacitate the Shinkengers with their negative inner thoughts because she really did believe she was weak, clumsy, stupid and a crybaby and had called herself thise so many times that the words had lost their sting.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: Considering that despite his LargeHam tendencies, he is still ''very'' good at what he does, not just samurai-wise, but on the kabuki stage as well.

* FirstNameBasis: While Ryuunosuke, Jii and Kotoha address him as "Tono" ("Tono-sama" in Kotoha's case) respectfully, Chiaki and Mako go for the more informal way by calling him "Takeru".[[note]]This reflects how Chiaki sees Takeru as more of a competitor than a superior, and how Make sees herself as a mother/big sister figure to the team.[[/note]] Genta later takes it even further by using "Take-''chan''".

* RookieRedRanger: An unusual example, and even a {{deconstruction}} of it. [[spoiler:Entering so late in the conflict and just simply taking over damaged the vassals' morale and teamwork. While she did so without any malice, she quickly realized that her presence did more harm than good, that this team, Genta included, had built themselves around ''Takeru'', not her. After gaining Genta's good graces, she reinstates both him AND Takeru, stepping down for the latter as Shinken Red, all the while, shutting down Tanba's protests that did even more harm than her own naivete.]]

* InstantExpert: Like the others, averted. The whole point of her being hidden was so she could master the sealing character.
