Once again, our Power Rangers Spotlight falls on Thuy Trang, as well as two of her Yellow Ranger counterparts.

Brazilian artist Francisco Mauriz posted this piece last week, with the caption “Yellow rangers de universos diferentes.” (“Yellow Rangers of different universes.”) We have our old friend Trini of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, played by the late Thuy Trang. Next to her is Boi, her counterpart played by Takumi Hashimoto from Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger. Then we have Becky G, who played Trini in last year’s Power Rangers film.

What makes this interesting isn’t just that the characters are next to each other, but how they’re behaving. Body language can make or break fan art for me. You could have friggin’ Alex Ross drawing the figures, but half the battle is lost if they’re doing something out of character. While I admit to being ignorant regarding the Boi character, both Trinis look spot-on. You’ve also got the added dimension of Thuy and Takumi being from the early ’90s, and Becky being from 2017. You can see it in how she’s posed, as well as her wardrobe. Whether Mauriz intended for it or not, there’s a lot going on here.

While I admit I may be biased, when I see this pic my eye immediately goes to Thuy Trang. Her Trini was quieter, but still friendly. That’s the read I get from Mauriz’s rendering of her here.

Fittingly, Mauriz first popped up on my radar when he posted a piece much like this one, featuring Pink Rangers. It’s the same background, too. Let’s hope he keeps drawing Rangers!
