Kaido and Keitarou are polar opposites but they both play the wild card in their respective teams with Keitarou being the nice guy and Kaido being the guy who allegedly doesn't care about humans. I think there's more than one way to pair these characters together. How do you see Takumi and Yuka as equivalents and likewise with Kiba and Mari? I would like to see that perspective.

Now that I think about it, this show is kind of like a precursor of Lupinranger VS Patranger.

Yuuji and Mari have the ability to drive their respective groups through a need for answers, concrete information, and a lot of their story is wrapped up in Smart Brain. Yuka and Takumi's stories are more about figuring out their own humanity, Yuka literally (she is a bird-lady who murders by the baker's dozen and kind-of thinks humans are terrible) and Takumi figuratively (maybe he doesn't love being an unloveable asshole?).

But, like you said, a lot of ways to compare these six characters!
