He rarely show feelings, sometimes it relies on flashbacks to give a glimpse of his life. What I mean is I can't connect more with his character at the end of season 2 than at the very start, because the way he acts (or the way the actor plays, but we can't know what were his directive on stage...)


Yep

Ryosei Konishi is very different when he's not acting. Just watch any interview or event with him in it, he's cheerful and complete reverse of what Kouga is. The fact that he can stay stoic like that really impresses me.
For me, showing much emotion doesn't make me connect with a character, lots of anime and toku characters are annoying because they show too much emotion, Jan from Gekiranger and comes to mind for me. Badass as he was, I just never really care for him because he's supremely annoying. Kouga on the other hand, even hardly showing emotion, his dedication and noble heart is what make him a great character for me. His transformation from jerkass during the beginning of the series to jerkass with a heart gold is very evident for me. Kouga crying during the final episode in the 1st season is more touching than anything Jan ever does in the entire series of Gekiranger. The culmination of Kouga as a person and fighter in Soukoku no Maryu is what make watching that movie a great experience for me.
