Now we have the first of the additional rangers. This here is Kyle Tigris, who becomes Libre Violet on the Liberanger team. Kyle grew up in Butte Montana with his parents and sister, Kayla, but left his home state when he went to college. He acts like a goofball a lot of the time, but he did want to prove himself to be a hero when he stood up to Hosbrai's followers, who didn't take him seriously as a hero, even after he morphs into Libre Violet the first time. But the rest of the Liberangers believe that if he could prove he was worthy of becoming a Liberanger, he was fit to battle against the evil invading the galaxy. After winning his first battle, Kyle looked forward to seeing how his family would react when they find out he became a hero for the galaxy, especially his sister, who he predicts she'd have to see it to believe it. Of course, Kyle is also in for a surprise when he finds out that his sister also became a hero on another team.

As you've just read, yes, the Yellow Ranger, Kayla Tigris, in TUFFAgentShepherd's own series, Jurassic Squadron: Comicger, is Kyle's younger sister. Abdulla isn't the only Liberanger who has a relative in Shinobiger. I had thought it would be a good way to link up with Shinobiger. So it looks like Abdulla and Tamika won't be the only ones to have a family reunion in Shinobiger Vs Liberanger. I do also plan to have both Abdulla and Kyle mention about their relatives at the end of Liberanger Vs Draconightger when the Draconightgers mention they are heading to Butte Montana, setting up the events of Shinobiger Vs Draconightger.

When drawing him, I took inspiration from Shou Rompou in his younger days before he became the commander of the Kyurangers. The reason for this is that Kyle isn't the commander, so it is fitting to have him dress similarly to the way the younger Shou Rompu had. As for his hair, I based that on Shou Rompou's hair, but I didn't give him gray hair because he's supposed to be a younger character, so I went with blonde hair.

Notes:
1. He is the second Violet Ranger to be male in a mainstream series in Super Animal Squadron.
2. He has the honor of being the first additional ranger in the franchise since he and Libre Aqua will be making their debuts separately. I plan to have him become a ranger in Chapter 10 while Aqua will be in Chapter 12.
3. He is slightly taller than the rest of the Liberangers, as he is older than most of them (With Wolfie being the only one to possibly be older than him as Wolfie's age at this time is not known, even to him).
4. His ranger form represents TUFFRanger, meaning he is given the Number 0.5, as TUFFRanger predates even the first official series, Woodland Squadron: Foresger.
5. During the time Kyuranger was airing and for a few years after, fans debated over whether Ryu Commander or Houou Soldier was the Sixth Ranger, but this debate has come to a close with Houou Soldier being confirmed to be the Sixth Ranger. Just thought I'd through that out there since there is another ranger who is set to appear in Liberanger as the twelfth member and that ranger is going to count as the Sixth Ranger since that ranger will be inspired by Houou Soldier. However, I won't bring out that ranger's picture until the Sixth Ranger of whatever Sentai we get after King-Ohger unveils its Sixth Ranger. I can tell you one thing, though. Liberanger's Twelve Ranger is not going to be red. If Kyle counted as the Sixth Ranger, I wouldn't be unveiling his picture this early in time.
