I know I've posted this argument before, but I see Daigo as more of a Doctor Who/Superman type. These characters typically come as pre-packaged, perfect heroes straight out of the box. They rarely grow and change, but that's okay because that's not their story purpose. Instead, they act as catalysts who inspire growth and change in their flawed, human companions.

I'd be more inclined to share peoples' contempt for the character if every episode were about Daigo, but I can't recall many exclusively Daigo-centric episodes. Instead, I saw a lot of, "Daigo's perfect bravery inspires x-teammate of the week to become a braver hero" episodes. And then, in the end, it's everyone's bravery -- which Daigo incubated -- channeled through him (via their song) that allows him to defeat Deboss.

Long story short, I think Kyoryuger is better for having Daigo. He's unlike any other reds I've seen in Sentai.

Basically, I like Daigo. There! I said it!

Thank you for wording my opinion of the show so solidly!
