If it wasn't that, then its the fact that King made every sentai member in the show feel useless, especially after getting the carnival mode. After getting it, the other kyoryugers are only there to control the mecha, otherwise, King could just use carnival and destroy the monsters himself. I've said this a while ago, but it holds true. At that point, the other kyoryugers may as well have been cheerleaders for King

This is what I'm getting at though. Yamato helps the others out with their problems sometimes too, and it's not like every story in Kyoryuger involved Daigo solving the problem. I haven't seen the show in a couple years but just off the top of my head I remember a late-show episode I really liked all about Ian and Ucchi being forced into a scenario where they have to overcome their clashing personalities and work together to defeat the bad guys (so basically every Sentai episode ever) and I can't even remember what Daigo did in it. I remember people always saying Souji drew the short straw with character development too but I don't remember Torin giving his super cool sword to Daigo after teaching him his super cool sword move. For that matter, nobody but Souji himself came up with the idea to copy said move in the first place.

And what does it matter if he could use Carnival to win all the fights himself? Zyuoh Whale blew a chunk of the Moon off a couple weeks ago. What's important is that he ISN'T doing it alone.

It just always seemed to me like for every example of Daigo Sentai Kingranger you can bring up, there's at least one counter-example of why the show was about everybody. Sentai always puts the Red one a bit more front and center (literally) than the other guys and I feel people exaggerate the extent to which Kyoryuger does A LOT. It's definitely a bit more heavy on the Red shilling than usual but nowhere near the levels I see it get played up as.
