I'm sorry but they are different in a key way. Gai is over the top because he wants to live up to past heroes. He gets so excited when he sees them that he loses control of himself. He strives to do what he can to protect everyone. Gai can be bad ass when he puts his mind to it. I think people just see "HE IS GOOFY" when he is around past teams and such, and they just write him off. The problem with that is this, the people that write him off are just ignoring his real character.

When people watch sentai they shouldn't just look at the superficial aspects of a character. They should really want to know what makes that character tick.
