Your opinion bro, but that ain't a fact, you may have found it poor but I've gone back and rewatched the Japanese versions of some of my favourite Power Rangers shows and I haven't liked them better.

I liked the Dragon Knight characters and ending and I think that given the heavy American censorship they still managed to make a mature show, that got around a lot of censorship just by calling things by different names.

Plus the continuity of a different show means very little to the continuity of the other, from what I've read Ryuki and Dragon Knight have very few similarities, I just think you're elitist.

You say Japanese version as though it's not the original. That's being elitist bro. I'm talking about disliking the adaptation of something I hold dear. Like how people don't always like the movie adaptation of their favorite book, it pisses them off to see how poorly it was handled. For me it's US toku adaptations because they don't ever hold a candle to their source. And I prefer to say that I have taste

Exactly my problem. Ryuga (Onyx) and Femme (Siren) only appeared in one Ryuki movie so working them in with what little footage existed was silly. Verde (Camo) is only in the 13 Riders TV Special, and that is incredibly brief. Again there's almost no footage there to work with. They only appeared in those films and had nothing to do with the footage or plot of the normal Ryuki TV series. So bringing the series over as Dragon Knight and trying to work all of these briefly used characters into a shared plot that originally wasn't there made that show a total train wreck.
