I know that isn't people's main problem with ToQger but I've still heard it a few times, including...

That's what I'm saying though, Ninninger was never focused on Takaharu. He wasn't a leader, he wasn't the idea guy, and he wasn't even the guy who keeps everybody glued together like Right was. He was the POV character (of sorts), being an excitable guy who really loves being a ninja, and thus relatable to the kiddies, but his ratio of actual spotlight episodes is actually about equal with everybody. I think Kinji actually got more focus than he did. His super mode even got used by the other guys a few times, and yet a huge chunk of the fandom acts like he's Daigo 2.0. despite not being infallible, not always solving problems, and not always being the center of attention.

Outside of being a fiery moron (which I get is a pretty big hump for people) he's pretty much exactly the Red people were clamoring for after Kyoryuger.

That seems like a pretty major part of the show to hate while still liking the overall product but I'm really happy the fandom is looking on the bright-side with at least one show. Kyoryuger really does have a lot going for it.

This is kind of an aside but I should probably mention at this point I went into the show with only a couple weeks left hearing all the Daigo hate so I spent most of the series waiting for him to "steal the show" from everyone else only for it to just not happen. I got to Carnival's debut and was like "okay, this is where it happens" only to be greeted with more of the same varied spotlight episodes and subplots not about him. I ended up liking the show so much that (after only watching Go-Busters when it was just about over) it's what made me commit to just watching Sentai weekly starting with ToQger.

Don't get me wrong, Daigo is pretty much THE most shilled Red in all of Sentai, and it definitely is at the expense of his team occasionally, but I think it gets exaggerated A LOT more than it needs to be. I rarely even see Kyoryuger brought up in any context other than "f*** Daigo" so I'm actually quite surprised to hear people like it.
