If the BoonBoomgers are racers (which I believe is the case, unless I've misinterpreted something), my hope is that the Hashiriyan will be more like a rival group of racers who use shady/evil methods to win instead of an evil empire bent on world domination.

I want these villains to be more akin to the Nouto trio from Donbrothers, who are actual characters with development, and who feel more like the heroes' dark peers than they do faceless, generic conquerors. I don't want the Hashiriyan to be another bunch of bad guys with vague motivations and a big boss who sits in a chair for 45 episodes.

There's been a lot of experimentation in Sentai over the last few years, and the most successful thing they've done is focus on making the villains as compelling as the heroes. This is something Sentai was really good at in the 90s, and I hope they continue that trend if nothing else.
