Granted this my opinion of how things played out, but I also liked Souji early on and was disappointed on how the show handled him.

Kyoryuger's main flaw is how it dedicates a lot of attention to plot at the expense of character. Then, in the last 8 episodes, everyone grows and changes all at once. Of all the characters, I feel like Souji had the most organic growth.

But even so, the cast brings a lot to the table. Their heavy lifting compensates for a lot of the characters being backgrounded in the scripts.

Kyoryuger is a "along for the ride" sentai series. It lacks tremendous depth, but it's bright, energetic, fun, fastpaced, kinetic, and just self-aware enough for the whole experience to be really enjoyable. Perfect for sparking up a fatty and enjoying the pretty images.
