Notably, she didn't even appear in the season premiere (AKA the PoorlyDisguisedPilot for ''[[KamenRider Saban's Masked Rider]]''), and had her powers drained halfway through after being captured by Kat Hillard. Since she actually told Saban she was going to quit beforehand, instead of clumsy camera tricks and an abrupt JonasQuinn, half the season was spent slowly easing her out of the Pink Ranger position and setting up her successor.

*''TheKingOfFighters'' pushes the protagonist of the previous arc into this role for the following arc. Kyo's importance to the plot during the Orochi saga was downgraded to make room for K' in the NESTS saga and then K' himself moved down to make way for Ash Crimson in the Tales of Ash arc. After being demoted the character continues to add to the story (Kyo was used as a base for a series of clones in the NESTS arc and K' got to fight Mukai in ''2003'') but it's the current main character who gets the spotlight and wraps up the saga.

* Arguably, John in ''OutThere''. He certainly ''seems'' like a main character during the strip's initial 6-7 months (he's in almost every strip), but once he and Miriam reach Portstown, we start to see him far less frequently; sometimes several weeks will go by between his appearances.
** The latter can be said for ''all'' the other characters aside from Miriam, though; the only difference is John's first "co-starring" arc is at the very beginning of the strip, and lasts for a long time. It seems to establish him as a main character when perhaps all it ''really'' establishes is the pattern of long arcs starring Miriam and one of her supporting characters. Sherry, for instance, has a co-starring arc of about the same length a year later.
