Wow, we're talking annoying voices now?

Yeah, he was an obvious copy of Ban, personality wise, but Jan just did it better, IMO

I think Jan did the annoying voice better than Ban. Isn't it strange, though, that we had a whole continuous string of "idiot Reds" from Dekaranger to Go-onger that was broken only by Boukenger?

I really do like his voice actually. Best annoying voice for any character I think. And Sosuke really was a giant idiot.

To be fair, everyone in show reacted with confusion to Jan's words, relying on context and body cues to figure out what the hell he was talking about

But the decision to just arbitrarily add Ban as Red over picking Jasmine or Hoji just never made sense to me. His skills were superb, yes, but everything else seriously was lacking. He never thought ahead, he didn't work well with a team (Initially, at least), he was constantly at arms with the others (Granted, Hoji was kind of a douche at first, though), coupled with his constant brashness and impatience, he didn't seem like leader material.

Hoji was aloof and distant, yet he still worked so perfectly with a team that, under his lead, they captured a monster so quickly the public didn't even know what the fuck

Also another point is that Gekiranger seems rather decentralized in leadership anyway. As far as I have watched in LWW, Jan is not really portrayed as a leader per se, but just one point of an equal triangle.

In fact, I think it's remarkable that Jan hasn't gotten anything preferential for being a Red. He gets the same upgrades, and equal number of weapons, etc. The only thing that is a bit skewed in his favor, perhaps, is his larger mecha.

You think Jan might be compensating for something?

You're about to see in the nexxt set of episodes that Ran is chosen as the captain of the team. Something they actually reference for quite some time. She is their leader even if Jan's the red.

Yeah, I think I said something like that earlier before.
While a character is named a captain, there really isn't a solid leader in their trio, and they all seem like equals, which I enjoy.

Also, while a staple of every sentai (Ignore individual forms, form megazord immediately), I feel it works in Geki. They all have to work in sync for GekiTouja. It really feels like Geki wanted a single mecha but marketing wanted a combiner (Same thing Gokai experienced).

What about Bouken? GoGoDump is like, 90% of Daibouken

That would be pretty awesome. Honest Heart definitely makes better leader material than Unbreakable Body.

More spoilers.
The point of the episode was that they were ineffective with a chain of command during the heat of battle (And then she becomes a delinquent...Yeah...)

Don't worry. I only remember all this because I jumped the gun and watched the episodes before finding out what we were gonna watch
