Most of the Deathgalien have interesting designs, but aren't all that fleshed-out as characters. Bangray has an incredible power and is just all around dirty!

I personally find the Dethgaliens to be easily one of the best villain groups Sentai has had in modern times, up there with Go-Busters and Ryusoulger.

Ginis himself is a wonderful refreshing change of pace from what were mostly a lot of take-over-the-world/destroy-all-humans types of main villains in a row. Swerving from that into the idea of everything being a game for the villains allows Zyuohger to feel a lot more different even when it's playing by the usual formulas, and even lends a lot more credibility and sense to some of those long-running formulas -- why do they send down one at a time, why do they wait until later to make them grow, etc. It's not quite as good as Go-Busters in what it does, but it reminds me of that season in how minor little touches made it a lot more memorable and lent it more of an identity.

The generals as well have a LOT more going for them than most, who usually fall into just being generally powerful characters or at best rivals for the Red. Instead, even though some of it is late-game and only hinted at along the course of the show; we get a lot more backstory and points of interest going on with both. I don't want to spoil either because they're great twists, but both of them end up being wonderful parallels or spoils with the Zyuohgers and the threat of the Dethgaliens in general.

And then of course you've got Bangray, who I really like looking back on him. The show could easily have run 50 episodes with its basic premise and villains like most Sentai and been just as fine, but throwing a wrench in the Dethgaliens with Bangray makes for a wonderful change of pace and behind-the-scenes politics. He comes in just late enough and exits just early enough to not outstay his welcome and makes sure the Dethgaliens have to constantly be doing something different, even when their usual shtick alone is so fresh as compared to the past 5 years.
