And I liked Gokaiger, but I don't see how story wise they succeeded in a way Go-Busters has failed.

If you wanna blame something on the Ratings, blame the lousy toys and horrible combined Mecha. but don't blame the story.

I have to disagree.

Gokaiger's plot centered around a bunch of space pirates who, through the course of 51 episodes, go from not giving a damn about Earth to realizing what exactly these powers represent that they're collecting, and decide to destroy the sure-fire "SAVE EVERYONE EVER" device to do things the Super Sentai way.

In the first 20 episodes, Gokaiger gave us the Zangyack Empire and their desire to conquer the Earth, while the Gokaigers stop them as they are trying to find the Ultimate Treasure. It gives us Gai, the 6th member of the team who first has to prove his worth to join them, and then show them through his knowledge of the Super Sentai exactly how humble they should be with these heroes. We're also introduced to Basco, a side-villain who by series end, is almost more threatening and interesting than the very Zangyack Empire the series focused around in the first place.

Not to mention the character developments of Marvelous (his relationship with Basco and AkaRed), Joe (and his struggle to come to terms with Sid), and Luka (her thievery ways being a result of a failed attempt to save the life of her little sister). And their hatred of the Zangyack for what they did to them whether directly or indirectly.

All while showcasing 35 years of Super Sentai history in the battles and involving the past heroes in the current on-going story.

Tell me again what Go-Busters has done in the first 29 episodes?
