Kouga from which series?

I'm not saying every series they should be inexperienced nobodies, as that would get boring. At the same time, it would also get boring if every series started out with everyone experienced. Plus, it leaves the viewer bored if everyone is highly experienced as the viewer has no one to grow with. I think that was one of my problem with ToQGer. The rangers have no memories of who they are, so there is nothing to watch them grow or learn to overcome their fears because they don't know what their fears are or what they need to work on.

The thing I love about DaiRanger is that nobody wanted to be a ranger, but it was in their blood to be rangers, so they had to figure it out for themselves and go with it. The KakuRangers had team members that just wanted to have easy lives and have fun without any hardships and then had to learn that is not possible. The ZyuRangers were all royalty, so they did not have to fend for themselves and work together to accomplish anything as everything was handed to them on a silver platter. They had to realize that was no longer the case and work together in order to save the Earth.

Now GoGoV did a great job with taking five siblings who all worked for some sort of government agency and had them become rangers to protect the world. Yes, they weren't fully inexperienced, but at the same time, they weren't fighters, so they had to learn how to defend the world using their knowledge of their own careers.
