You're spot on regarding Daigo's "middle-ground" characterization. Recent Sentai Reds have usually been boneheads (Jan, Ban, Kai, Sosuke) or "I'm too cool for this world" types (Marvelous, Takeru, Hiromu). Daigo is interesting in that he has that genuine good-natured optimism without becoming a total idiot. While he's a buffoon at times, he has also shown himself to be very resourceful and a good strategist, leading the team well in battle. There's no doubt, he's a good leader and a good-natured person.
