Yes, but not every team is going to get along immediately. They have to learn how to work together first, which I prefer. In fact, that might be why I do enjoy Jet-Kaku so much, they have to learn how to work as a team first.

Zyu didn't really need to learn, but that aspect of the show (actual team building) is awesome and I wish Toei would bring it back. Kyoryu could have had that, but instead everyone just admired and followed Daigo around

See, even that I have to disagree with. They had to learn to work together as a team because no one really cared about being a ranger in the beginning. Hell, they spent more time arguing with each other in the Key monster episodes than working together. Plus, they still weren't fully a team until after they dealt with Ryo's dad and High Priest Saw.
So maybe the synthesis of our views is that most of their development is front-loaded, and they change very little after the first ten episodes. Quote:
I also really love a lot of Kou's episodes, which I was expecting to dread. But I was consistently impressed by how they handled his arc -- nothing is made easy for him just because he's a kid. They really run that character through the emotional ringer and the writers never put on their"kid gloves" when handling his story. I particularly enjoyed episodes 18 (where we get the first glimpse of his mother branding him) and 22 (where Akomaru gets crushed to death by boulders... for the first time). The last couple Kujaku episodes rank pretty highly too -- I was definitely moved by how they handled Kujaku and Gara's shared history. And then the last ten episodes are non-stop awesome. I wasn't surprised by the reveal that Kaku is a Gorma, but I was legitimately surprised by how that played out. I never thought he actually betrayed the team, but the show did a good job of making me wonder what his motives were and what his endgame was. Geez, that's a lot of favorite episodes, huh?

Yeah, there are many other favorites of mine too, but those are my top favorites.
Kou is done absolutely well. Yes, you are right, they didn't put the kid gloves on, but he still felt like a kid as far as his character went. It wasn't like Justin in PRTurbo where he was written as if he was a teenager, which is why I have no problem accepting Kou as a ranger compared to Justin. |

I haven't watched PR Turbo since it was originally on like 18 years ago, so I can't speak authoritatively. But from what I recall, he was clearly the product of a writing staff that didn't have much respect for kids' intelligence. I remember him as a collection of childish cliches wrapped up in one character, and as a kid, I did not respond positively to that character one bit.

Can I chime in on Go-Onger?
If you have seen RPM, expect it to be nothing like that. At all. RPM was serious and dark and Go-Onger is ultra goofy and fun. The eyes on the mechs make more sense (you'll see) and the story doesn't get serious until the last 4 or 5 episodes. But the season is still a ton of fun and worth the watch. If you enjoyed RPM, I think you will also enjoy Go-Onger even though they are polar opposites. |

If you're looking for light-hearted comedy and entertainment, Go-Onger is the thing to watch. If you want something dark and serious, this show might not be the right choice.
