Oh boy, the irony of this is not lost on me, considering I was just whining about the Gokaigers (by the way, thinking about it some more, I think I just forgot how much I actually DID like them), but I could not POSSIBLY disagree more with that statement. I loved the basic team so much that when Jin showed up I was actually kind of annoyed they were shaking up the dynamic. Obviously I warmed up to him quick but it's a rare occasion when I consider the main group strong enough they don't need any extra members to bounce off of.

Hiromu, Ryuji, and Yoko are all refreshingly down to earth characters who feel like real people because they have their flaws and stupid quirks. They're a lot more nuanced than your usual Sentai team and have slightly more subtle character growth as a result, but that's just another thing that makes them cool.

The other big thing making them work is their relationships with the Buddyroids and how they sort of reflect one another. Especially Hiromu, whose initial abrasive attitude contrasts really nicely with Nick's considerate personality. Honestly, the Buddyroids in general are basically the show's secret weapon. They took what could've been lame gimmicky sidekicks and made them main characters in their own right.
