The 90's were trying new things in Sentai. Jetman was the last traditional Sentai. All of them tried something different and Kakuranger was the one to made it all about Japanese pop culture and folklore. The Storyteller is part of that. It is not unique for be comical. Fiveman and Jetman have just about the same amount of humor in them.

More people should read Kakuranger's translations notes. They're not necessary to enjoy the show, but they are very insightful to what made Kakuranger unique.



Back on topic. Huzzah! Between this and Gingaman, I'm set on Sentai for awhile.
