Good question. While it will be nice to see the varied characters and suits, there's a very good chance that, similar to Kyoryuger, half of them will get no development whatsoever. Especially if/when the extra ranger shows up down the line.

Toei want play too hard this time.

Being honest? Probably not. Sentai can barely give 5 people enough personality and focus. The chances of them being able to give 9 people enough focus and personality are quite slim. I want to be optimistic though and say that they'll at least be able to make all of them interesting and unique.

I think is a bad idea even with the same formula from Zyuohger.

I mean, if they had Kobayashi, I think she could totally handle that. She's pretty good with character development, even with bigger casts.
Not sure about Mori as a writer. He did some good stuff, he did some eh stuff but never a full show and he mostly had smaller casts to work with. Let's see what he's gonna do.

I think it won't be quite as hard as we might believe as some characters may just play a support role. Silver (the "emotionless warrior") seems to be set playing the straight foil to Gold's comedic antics, while Black is a robot wrestler who might just be an automaton - note that Gold and Pink are listed as "androids" or "cyborgs" (I can't remember exactly) but not robots. I think that, at this late date, the term "robot" is morphing from a catch-all phrase to a specifically non-sentient, worker / tool term. Obviously, I could be way off, but I find it significant that Black is identified as a "robot" and not an "android". He could be a weapon on two legs, essentially, with little need of a deeper back story or further development.

So, that being said, your focus potentially narrows down to 7 - still a LOT of characters to develop, mind you, but less daunting than 9!

I do find it rather odd that they gave the character of "Emotionless warrior" to one of the characters not constantly in a suit.

Do you guys think that ToQger could have been a rescue sentai in somepoint ?

Well when the team name translates to express ranger not really.
Maybe a post office sentai?

Some Sentais could have necessary asthetics to be fit in american adaptation ?
