He's a lot like Asuka from Goranger in that respect. Always getting in trouble.

Oh boy, sounds like Sun Vulcan won't hit the ground running then. Still, I've been very curious about the show ever since it was one of only 2 Showa Sentai to rank in the top 20 in that big NHK Sentai poll a while ago. Clearly it did SOMETHING well.

Tatsuya was pretty neck and neck with Daigoro for a while for me, but Daigoro managed to win in the end. Tatsuya was the main focus of what I think was Denziman's best episode though, the one with the woman who unknowingly adopted a Vader Monster as her son, as the son slowly loses control of his own behavior as his true nature begins to surface as he matures. The way Tatsuya wanted to help them so desperately because of how he saw his own family in them was some genuinely good drama. Akira... well, she certainly got more focus than Kiyama or Akagi, but I also thought she was often treated as less competent than her male teammates in fights, which was too bad. I know it's an older show, but I think Peggy was treated better in Goranger. (Person who has only seen Goranger, watching her second Showa Sentai: Getting a lot of 'Goranger' vibes from this...)


Also, can I just say I think it's very funny that I have gotten way more responses posting about a Sentai show from 1980 than one from 2020.
