While the San Bakas is debatable, they still all have an impact on the rangers and their outcome towards the end. And Jin is essential because he was the reason Ryuu grew.

Ah okay just making sure. I enjoyed the Jin sub plot honestly especially the last one when Ryou was taking care of him. the Idiot Brothers I liked the end of their episode I liked what they did for Shouji.

So the point of these episodes was to evolve each character right?

Watched Gaoranger episode 2 and really enjoyed it, I think this might be my next Sentai I watch probably.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I just finished DaiRanger again. So a great series that I can never get sick of. I'll definitely be sticking with watching Nihon's subs from now on though, as the grammatical and spelling errors in HS' were just atrocious. There was on instance they had Kou's mother telling the rangers that Kou's father was from the Dai Tribe, Kaku told the rangers to do something instead of don't do it, and then they were supposed to say behind instead of stay behind.

Anyway, on to MMPR Season 2 (well, when I get back from AX that is).

*SPOILER ALERT*
Nothing pays off.

Yep. And don't listen to Shockercon. He forgets that if it weren't for Ryo and gang, the next generation would not have the Rairai balls, the Kiden Beasts, etc.

Hazah! Gaoranger is an EXCELLENT show. I will preach the epicness of it all day long :D

GaoRanger was my first Sentai and I enjoy it. It is definitely one of the weaker series, but not a bad series.

I'd argue it's one of the strongest actually. Great core team, awesome and tormented 6th, very awesome mecha with tons of mix and match capability, and Yabiba and TsueTsue are 2 of my favorite generals ever.

It depends. In my rankings, it would be somewhere between 15-20 most likely.
