Gokaiger 18. I wish I could join their crew

Even if Gai dresses like Shunpei I really like him, and I especially love how the crew play off of him both out of suit but also in it. I love how he actually feels like an outsider, even when they accept him, as they wouldn't just immediately function as a well oiled machine without any training or practice. I also really love how Marvelous gets the keys wrong. It's the little things that make this show really wonderful. Honestly minus some continuity niggles, and a bad standalone episode here or there, this is probably the most consistently fantastic a sentai has ever been for me. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this show.

Speaking specifically about Gai, I love him too. From the fact that he's comic relief, but also a badass and despite those two things seemingly being opposites the blend of his two halves work together perfectly. Plus, what an epic backstory! I'm also not a big mech guy, but GoZyu is probably my new favourite giant robot.
