Yah, I suppose so. It was fitting of the character, but I always felt like it was split between being a realistic 'showy' thing that we've come to expect from Gai, but not too smart of a thing to do.

From what I watched a long time ago before I was really into Sentai shows, I don't remember if the members of Jetman had, I guess, superhuman qualities? Like, I remember the members of Dekaranger we're basically human, except Jasmine was an esper, so I've always wondered if Gai was just a regular guy or if he has something special that would've made his assault meaningless I guess. I know at times shows utilize plot intended stupidity or PIS to get things going a certain way, but I was never sure and it's bugged me.

I'll need to rewatch some of the first few eps, I'm drawing a blank again, haha. Did that stay with him out of costume though? Also cool siggy!

I don't remember honestly I think it might've been forgotten after the first couple of episodes. And thank you!

Yeah, they had the powers out of costume. Most of them discovered their abilities on pure accident.

Oh, yep! I misread your post as "do they have them IN costume" as in how Disney had them always have super powers outside of costume but not inside.

Okay, so if Gai had somewhat superhuman strength, how'd a knife manage to stab him??? This is what's been pickin' at me for quite some time.

Gokaiger 43. Damaras had gattling gun sleeves and only used them when he grew? What an idiot.
Basco is by far the best character in this show, even if he's barely in it. I wish his literal backstabbing would have marked the end for Damaras, it would have been a better death than what he actually got. Never thought an episode focused around Doc could be so entertaining though, but his wild fighting style comes packed with an energy that I've felt Gokaiger has somewhat lacked for a while now. I get that part of the show is about the Gokaiger becoming a "true" sentai but this evolution seems to come at the cost of a lot of personality. In the flashbacks when they were just a bunch of rogue pirates fighting the Zangyack they are actually a much more interesting team, because they are a group of individuals each with their own style and way of dealing with issues. To function as a truly well oiled team, requires them to lose a lot of individuality and fall in line together, I get that that makes them stronger but it also makes them kinda boring too. It just sorta feels like they're going through the motions and ticking boxes a bit at this point, I wonder if this was the point of the production where most of the crew and suit actors had left to go start working on the next series. The all green change in celebration of Doc was pretty fun though.

He doesn't have the necessary levels of resilience. Gai has super strength, but he's not pulling a Superman and lifting buildings with one arm. He's not invulnerable.
