Personally, I think Kyuranger is more Super Sentai Assassin's Creed, or Super Sentai Guardians of the Galaxy. But I guess it can be a little of all three.

Right, Ikki shouldn't let Olteca have his way. Ending someone's suffering only works if it doesn't bring suffering to others. If he tries and fails to help him see the error of his ways, then ultimately he should defeat him to prevent him from committing further crimes, although preferably without bringing unnecessary hatred in to it, as heroes are still supposed to be examples of the morals they preach. Pay evil unto evil isn't good enough.

Well I already admitted my mistake of forgetting about the Heaven and Hell game victims, so it's not that I've forgotten Olteca's victims either. However, I think there's an important difference between justice and self-indulgence. Ikki having limits is probably another flaw manifesting from his egotism, that he calls himself the Ultimate Busybody, but he can't live up to that title, compared to Takeru who actually surpasses him in compassion.
