Just says this sentai season is almost perfect but their villains suck!
Think like Guardians of The Galaxy, a great movie but the villain suck! Is there's one sentai season where villains are weakest characters? |

Zyuohger comes to mind immediately. AMAZING show all around and while it's kinda the point that Genis doesn't do much, his backstory and motivations could have at the very least been explored more instead of literally the final fucking episode

Genis was just another generic villain who want to destroy the world. Why do every Sentai villain's motivation always deal with either taking over the world or destroy the world? That doesn't make them compelling villain. |

I'm guessing to keep the show simpler, but it could also be lazy writing.

I mean, a villain's goal isn't what makes them compelling, it's their personality, backstory and how they generally act around others

Genis and Don Dogranio are essentially the exact same character -- bored and aloof until the last 2-3 episodes, where they're suddenly revealed to be insanely powerful and are motivated to join the battle for no real reason other than, "well, I guess this show is about to end..." It's kind of hard to identify "great" seasons with bad villains because the villains are so essential to my enjoyment of a Sentai series. I'm tempted to add Gokaiger to this list, but at least there we had Basco, Insarn, and Barizorg to make things somewhat interesting... |

but the main reason i like him is because of his thematic connection to the show, he's basically an antithesis to the theme of connecting that the show has. he's thousands of different being connected together, but hates it. he has multiple connections to his minions, naria most notably, and he actively cuts them all off for his own personal gain he's not a perfect villain, all the issues people have with him are definitely legitimate, but i still liked him a lot. i liked dogranio, too, but he's definitely worse |

I generally liked the villains in Zyuohger because it felt believable that they'd follow a formula of sending out monsters one after the other and then making them big -- it's just a game, after all; they're not out to conquer the world.
Meanwhile, Kubald (Quvar? Whichever translation you like) has one of the coolest designs I've seen for a Sentai villain and had me prettttty interested. I wish he got a redemption because he of all Sentai villains deserved it. |

My first thought was Zyuohger, but that had Bungray, as well as Kuvald, so it's not all bad. Which means it goes to Ninninger. I know people like Kyuemon - I wasn't so big a fan, so it has no good villains for me. Lackluster villains have been a thing in Sentai for a while, though, so I hope Ryusoul pulls us out of that.

i actually really like genis, even if he didn't have much of a backstory compared to some others. he's incredibly threatening during the final arc, and him being bored and aloof was fresh at the time, especially when we were coming off of kibaoni
