I really enjoyed seeing you stick up for Samurai here, because that's another show I very rarely, if ever, see people have nice things to say about. It's another one I also have a bit of a soft spot for, since it was the start of a new era for PR that also happened to be airing right as I was getting into the wider world of tokusatsu. For as many problems as even I had/have with the show, I won't lie, it always made me smile seeing a prominent credit for Yasuko Kobayashi during an episode of a Power Rangers series.

It wasn't a show that ever rose to greatness, but in retrospect, I find myself easing up more and more on it, especially knowing now that it did in fact strike a chord with the intended audience, which is what counts.

And I agree Antonio is a cool dude! I even felt the need to call this out in a post a bit back in the thread I made when Twitch did that huge marathon of the entire franchise to promote the movie coming out:

He brought a ton of energy and charisma to a show that was frequently very dull, and his whole backstory and personality make him super relatable and super likable. Even his stupid Dora the Explorer speech quirks manage to be endearing. He kind of transcends the mediocre show he's in and might actually be one of my favorite Sixth Rangers, which is pretty crazy.
