I know Lazer was killed for story purposes, but do you guys think there is another reason? Maybe a money thing?

Do you want a Kamen Rider meet Rocky show?

You know a underdog story for Kamen Rider! This Kamen Rider would be a up and coming boxer and he have to deal with corrupt people who are the bad guys!

Hey! They never did a boxing Kamen Rider Show! That would make the late Muhammad Ali proud! A Boxing Kamen Rider Show

And plus it would give an opportunity to showcase actor's fighting move since they always use Suit actor for fight scenes

Even if they have allies, both rider and none rider, a Kamen Rider still has his own unique skills and abilities and, for the most part anyway, is still a force to be reckon with even by themselves.

Rangers, both Sentai and Power Ranger, on the other hand are exclusively team players. While the sixth ranger may have some wiggle room, a single ranger by themselves is almost no threat to any monster, no matter how powerful they are.

Heck, you can take the single, weakest ranger out of their team and, no matter how many members are still left and how powerful they're supposed to be, they'll still be steamrolled by any monster.

That's why I have such a problem with recent Sentai giving such large focus to the Red ranger. It feels as though they're taking toy ideas from Kamen Rider without reworking to fit Sentai. Why does a single member of the team need to be so much better then everyone else while the show continues to shove down our throat that, apparently, this is a team effort.

I get it, Red's the mascot of the team and he'll always get more stuff then everyone else. That doesn't mean you have to devalue every other member of the team.

I'm sorry I made such a long rant about Sentai in the Kamen Rider thread. I've just been holding that in for a while and the above comment opened a flood gate.

P.S. Take a look at the Zyuohger's arsenal. Its depressing how little the 4 Zyuman have left if you take out every item and ability shared by the team as a whole.
