[Dr Kain]

Favorite character from either series? Oh, this is a tough one, but I'm going to go with RyuuRanger from DaiRanger. Normally I am completely in love with villains in every Sentai series. In fact, even though I absolutely love Jin, and he is my favorite villain in DaiRanger, RyuuRanger is my favorite hero in the entire Sentai world. Also, since DaiRanger is my favorite Toku series of all time, it makes sense to go with him over Kamen Rider Black (my favorite rider).

Why is he my favorite? First off, his costume is just incredible, especially his helmet. Secondly, RyuuSeiOh is his mecha, and the effects Toei used in his dragon mode are just stunning, even today. Third, he went through so much hell. It did not matter if it was having to battle his own father, attaching springs to his body to beat Jin, or even having an un-transformed battle with Shadam, this dude rocked. Plus he wants to make the world's best Gyoza, and I absolutely love Gyoza. I could eat an entire meal of just Gyoza and still desire more, so the better it tastes, the happier I am.
