Potholing new trope, and rewriting description to remove Example As A Thesis in the process.


You're a PowerTrio or FiveManBand who just got themselves a new SixthRanger. Things are looking pretty good right now -- your team is expanding, you're making new friends. [[NothingIsTheSameAnymore Looks like things might change permanently!]]

{{Not}}

Surprise! It turns out your fancy new SixthRanger is evil! He now knows all of your secrets, how to exploit them, and how to push all of your emotional buttons. You've got a new enemy, and the best part is -- you'll have an excuse to keep your team down to a PowerTrio or FiveManBand from now on, so [[StatusQuoIsGod the status quo will remain unchanged]].

Just fair warning, this is a trope about betrayal. The names mentioned below may spoil the emotional drama their moment of betrayal brings. However, since Sixth Ranger Traitors tend not to stay with their adoptive teams for long, that may not exactly be much.

Like the SixthRanger, The Sixth Ranger Traitor is its ''own'' villainous counterpart, instead reflecting the member of the group who betrays the others, either by pulling a HeelFaceTurn, [[FakeDefector faking one]], simply for their own ends, or on rare occasions [[BrainWashed against their will]].

The name is derived from SixthRanger. SubTrope of TheMole.
