Does the ending feels bad and rushed? Or it's just me?
I loved the entire series except for a few things that I think were badly done (Raita development and some parts of the love triangle) Villians were great, Gai changing with the episodes was a part I really enjoyed, and the way every main villain history ends is great. But the ending just got me mad. I guess it shows how much Gai changed that he was injured and still went to the wedding(I think it shows he started to care more about the others rather than himself). But still I can't understand why it was done this way. I think this series is one of the best sentai but the ending just feels like crap. What do you guys think about this and about the series overall? |

What was wrong with it, though? Specifically? Gai's attending the wedding while injured? What was wrong with that scene? Gai is an idiot.

Well I don't think he should have died that way. I mean he beats grey in the duel they defeat radiguet and then he dies this way because he didn't want the others to worry about him.
I think the other would feel a lot worse if they find him dead. I can say the wedding was unexpected but they kinda hint that could happen so I'm not mad at that.(even it it was kinda out of nowhere) But Gai dying that way was not good for me (even if that shows how much he changed) I feel that if they wanted him dead they could have killed in a more heroic way than this. The series is one of the best in my opinion and Gai is probably my fav character anyways, but this really felt bad for me. At least he comes back in that epic gokaiger episode. |

Gai's death is amazing to me exactly because he didn't die in some big overblown way. The fact that he helped save the planet then was killed in some random mugging just makes the whole thing more poignant.

Gai's death was rather well done. He didn't die in a rain of fireworks and explosions, but as a normal man, which is what, ultimately the Jetmen wanted to be. While they all embraced it, only Ryuu wanted to be a Jetman, the others wanted to live normal lives.
I think Gai's death was handled well. It was done to protect someone else, he still prioritized his friends' feelings and did his best to meet them for a special event, but he didn't betray who he was and kept it to himself, keeping in tune with his loner tendencies. It sucked that he didn't go out in flames, but he still did die a hero.

it is nice that his death is different from other characters but maybe he shouldn't die at all. Quote:

(Even tought I wanted him to stay alive) It was the right way to die for Gai. Thanks for that post it cleared my mind . Last edited by MadRyu; 12-08-2015 at 03:04 AM.. |

Gai is a selfish asshole. He didn't go to their wedding to show how he changed, he went to their wedding so he can die there, ruining the entire memory of what is supposed to be a happy moment. Every year when their anniversary comes up, they're going to think of the death of their comrade more than their wedding, and that is exactly what he wanted, to be the center of attention.

Wow, way to completely misread both the character's growth and that ending.

If he was selfish, I'm sure that he would've gone to the hospital instead. I mean, he got stabbed in the first place while getting the lady's purse back... He certainly didn't have to do that. |

The entire fucking point of Gai's character is that he begins as a dick but grows to become a decent person. Evolving from asshole to team player to nice guy. However, change is subtle. He kept his "Cool guy" exterior and loner tendencies because good character growth isn't about making a character take a complete 180 in personality. He went to their wedding because he valued the team and didn't want to seem flippant by ditching it for the hospital (Stupid choice, but it was a kind gesture). There have been moments in Sentai where things are left up to viewer interpretation, but Jetman's ending was so clear as day that in order to get your point of view, you basically had to ignore all the signs intentionally.
