Um... have you not been paying attention?
Kazu has had plenty of screen time be it with the drunken Tofu monster, the clone, being stuck with the mask of death, and being the subplot with Daimugen. Ryo has had massive amounts of screen time. Lin has been with Kous story line.

Kazu focused episodes don't exist, even if he has some focus, it's inside episodes where other much more important things are happening. Then there are episodes where he is on screen for the whole episode, but it's actually an evil copy so that doesn't count. Or that episode where he got the mask stuck on his face, sure he was on screen a lot, but I learnt nothing about him as a character as he flailed around. Ryou gets focus out of the principle of being Red, sure, but considering all we've seen of Daigo and the HUGE amounts of focus he has, I don't understand why he isn't Red. All we know from Ryou is he is a bit of a brutish hothead. Lin's focus centres around the show going 'eurgh ain't she fit'...no, not really. And sure she takes a central part to Kou's character arcs...all three of them...in nearly forty episodes....yeah.

Yes, Daigo is the character that is fully developed throughout the show, but that does not mean the other rangers aren't. I do admit, Shouji and Kazu have the weakest development, but that just seemed to be how the yellow and blue rangers were during that era as Dan, Boi, Saito, Sekai, Yuji, Juuri (and even Goushi and Shouhei), to name a few series in a row, were under developed. Of course, even to this day, usually only half a team is fully developed. |

Guess what I did? Started rewatching Tensou Sentai Goseiger! And today we start with Epic 1!
The episode opens with the Tower of Heaven, which I am disappointed hasn't showed up in Megaforce somehow (Call it Gosei's Stronghold, I don't care!), and Dereouta destroying the link between Heaven and the Earth. Cutting off our intrepid heroes from the Earth! Which is a scene we'll never see since they have to cram an entire season into half of one for Gokaiger! ... Bitter? Me?! No! > . > < . < > . > Moving on... Alata gets alot of crap but he's a very good Red Sentai. All he wants to do is help Nozomi (My spelling is godaweful this morning) do the right thing. But he's not why I watch, let's be honest. Moune Gushing in 3... 2... 1... MOUNE is why I watch Goseiger! And once again she was absolutely perfect, even if she didn't get much to do in this episode. But she will soon. But what she did do in this episode was perfect. Because Moune. |

But whatever, I have no intention in trying to change your mind. You're perfectly free to enjoy Dairanger as much as you like, but it doesn't need you to jump to its defense every time someone considers it less than the golden standard of Super Sentai.

And how many episodes are all those people in? The main Daimugen arc is something like 3 episodes, the three idiots are only in a handful of episodes. Rin's story may interlap with Kou's but she basically stays in the background of it throughout. This is not good character development over the course of 50 episodes.

Dairanger 38.
Man this was a good episode! The Dragon God is awesome. I'm pretty sure it killed like a million people on its first appearance. They did a pretty great job integrating him, minus the dated effects, and the Dairanger's really picked their game up here as well. It only took them thirty eight episodes, but they finally felt like real heroes. I tell you what though, I fucking hate XV. He is so fucking annoying, and so fucking pathetic, minus Jin all the Gorma are just jokes. I want my villains to make me go 'oh shit, shit just got real' like the Dragon God did, not just groan and wait for their scenes to be over. The Gorma provide no threat and in turn are completely unengaging.
