Watching Goseiger for a third time atm and I would agree on this one. While he was not directly in a leader position, he did manipulate the others to do what he wanted. If it had worked, yay! But I think he ultimately knew it would fail, so he just kept scheming. Admitted, he didn't expect being betrayed by the Yuumajuu, but once he came back, he continued his plan.

To be the main villain, he doesn't have to be in command for the whole thing... Enter also became the big baddie last minute. Long didn't appear until about half of the series and made his move even later. Zet came in somewhat later too. Deboss wasn't even present until shortly before the finale. The list goes on.

Also, it's much easier to infiltrate and manipulate an existing group than to just go and say: Eeeyup, I'm your new leader now! Especially because Buredoran was weakened and had to gain enough strength first.
