Yeah but his "fair share of appearances" consist of:

- JAKQ (y'know, the shortest Sentai series to date)
- JAKQ vs Goranger (which is essentially a JAKQ movie anyway)
- Gaoranger vs Super Sentai (in which he's one of many cameos)
- Gokaiger (in which he's one of many cameos)
- Suit appearances in huge crossovers

So all you're really left with is that he became the leader once he became Big One...which was in episode 23 of a 35 episode series. So while the circumstances might be comparable, the popularity level really isn't.

Which was the question in the first place. If you HAD to make a comparison I'd be more likely to still say Akaranger (cliche as it may be), since he still tends to be a big face of the franchise 40 years later appearing on all sorts of merchandise etc.

Problem is, Akaranger led during the Legend War, and famously led the charge to discharge the full energy of the 34 to finish the invading ships. During the Black Cross revival in 199, he appeared before Gokaiger and Goseiger and his Key gave a disembodied nod to Marvelous. He later appeared during the Gokaiger finale when he got his Key back and again during Ninninger during the Red Ninja Team-up. Ultimately, it's easy to say that the first is always the best (many franchises would claim the same), but also better to say "stalemate".

Why does ninja sentai always feel goofy & worse? Like the zords & weapons. I mean the swords are good, but there aren't any sais, nunchucks & bo staves in them!

Because Japan thinks Ninjas are fun and casual.

You've already got Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles if you want to see any of those weapons. :p

Watch Dairanger. It has two of those three weapons and the martial arts action is really good. It's a *little* less goofy than Kakuranger, though not for Shoji's lack of trying.

I thought dairanger was about monks.

You would be mistaken.

Because not all ninjas are the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Staffs and nunchucks are more general martial arts than ninja tools, anyway.

Watch Gekiranger. They have swords, nunchucks, and staffs.

Well, there is always this if you are not so satisfied with what Toei has put out so far.

Because Ninjas didn't use those. Those are martial arts weapons, not traditional Ninja weapons.

Ohranger was a Egyptian-themed sentai ?

No.

It was more "Ancient Monuments" themed. Ohranger Robo consists of a Moai, Dogu, Sphinx, Bull that represents Greek temples because... and a Phoenix represents the Pyramids because...

And then of course the giant Pyramid is a Giant Pyramid and there's... Whatever Auric was called who was a Tiki.

What you mean with because ?

Which bad guy is your favorite?
My vote is on Bio Hunter Silva because BIO PARTICLE DETECTED DESTROY DESTROY

Prince Junior/Gashadokuro, cause LOOK AT HIM! A Japanese Billy Idol who turns into a chainsaw-wielding camouflage skeleton? It's possible sentai will never top that conceptually. Though, admittedly, he suffers from pretty weak characterization.

I definitely prefer Matoba Jin, Radiguet, Akomaru, Enter, Fuwa Juuzou, and Basco as fully realized characters...

But still. Prince Junior is metal AF.

Kurojishi Rio~
Junior for the above reasons
Shadam is pretty solid, too.

Budo. No if ands or buts my favorite is Budo.

Radiguet, Mele, Jin Matoba, Basco ta Jolokia.

I wish know , how would look like a mecha could reminds me from 80's and 90's ?

Booba, Radiguet, Bandora, Gynamo, Hinelar, Budoh, AbareKiller, Ryuuwon, Long, Doukoku

How would be a mantis mecha ?

Basco ta jolokia and Rio. An honorable mention is Gabi raizo and Rouki

Ca Va, Tokunation?
Enter, no contest. Okay, maybe a little.

How you feeling of Gokaiger cast reunion in zyuohger?
I didnt think all of them could be there for the reunion because yuki yamada is busy now mostly.

It gets me more Hero Getter so I'm not bothered one bit.

Enertron particle detected DESTROY DESTROY

I was not too worried about him since he still works but Gokai Pink's actress quit showbiz so I was not sure if this could happen. It probably would have been fine if they only brought Marvelous and Gai but to see all six come back I am impressed.

I tried counting. If Zyuohger 29 is Super Sentai's 2,000th episode, it looks like that makes Turboranger's "10 Great Sentai Gathering" officially an episode, included in the episode count, and not just a special. I couldn't find anything definitive before, but this might be it. Anyone know anything about this?

I love Gokaiger, so I'm totally on board for seeing more of those guys. I also like the Zyuohgers, so looking forward to these episodes.

My brain says Radiguet, my heart says Bandora, my... um, something else says Mele. ;)

What if we have a modern technological jetman ?

Looked through again, carefully. Saw Timeranger has its own little "Gathering" too, at the end of the season, and it seems both "Gatherings" must be among the episode count for Zyuohger's 29th episode to be the 2,000th. So, those Gatherings would be "special episodes," making them episodes and not specials.

So, I guess I have watched an episode of Turboranger, after all.

You mean the one where the Timerangers introduce from Goranger to GogoV and then ultimately Gaoranger?
I personally liked that one.

When we can expect Toei trademark a New Sentai?

Like which month? November?

I think it's usually October, but the Zyuohger trademark appeared on September 28th last year: news story

Probably brainstorming.

Could been possible a sixth carranger than VRV master ?

VRV Master wasn't a Carranger. You never really saw him participate other than to come advise.

Altho it would be interesting to see another Super Sentai x Kamen Rider X Space Sheriff crossover.

Sounds like that's the one. Never seen it. (Waiting for translated subs.)
