No. They don't have nor use them during Season 2. They don't even get motorcycles until at a later point in Season Three and they are called the Shark Cycles which are completely different motorcycles all together.

Yes. He was known as Pipebrain in the Power Rangers episode called Missing Green. He was made by Lord Zedd from the Golden Pipe Karate Trophy.

Decided to copy Sentai and give Dairanger a quick watch.

I don't understand, what was confusing? Sure, Qi and the Gorma weren't explained, but it's not like it didn't make sense.
However, watching this does give me the need to watch some more Geki.

Anyway, there wasn't much to comment on, but I must say, this does make me wish we got the Dai suits. They're not spectacular, but jesus, those shots of RyuuseiOh are freaking gorgeous. Saban's choice to stick with the Zyu suits meant we never got them, and that's just everyone's loss.

Basically: Not much to say. Didn't leave a bad taste, wasn't particularly impressed, was paced poorly, things happened, RyuuseiOh looks awesome.

I agree. The weirdest part for me when I first started watching was why the bad guys look like they belong in some S&M bondage shit?

And yes, Saban were complete fools IMO for not bringing Dairanger over suit wise.

Oh, and I can pretty much confirm that the foot soldiers wouldn't look as completely stupid if they didn't have the red lips.
Should've just been featureless masks.

Starting with the opening I loved it. I just wish they'd have used alot of this footage with Season 2 of MMPR, all it would've taken is a suit change. I know they were still building a brand kind-of, but Saban would've made a killing with people wanting to buy the new suits. I would've bought'm.

A tentacle pulled a little girl into a hole and knocked off her backpack and shoes.. If I didn't know I was in Japan before I sure as hell do now. And that is one creepy singing, yoyo playing, kid..

Motorcycles! Something else I wish they'd ahave used.. Did they use them? I can't remember season 2 having bikes. Did they have bikes?

Not sure what to think of Kaku yet. The other Dairangers seem cool though, even if Ryuu is easily confused. And if these Sentai Teams all exist in the same world; Why doesn't one team tell the others when an ancient evil may arise?! "So, 6000 years ago there were these Gouma.. Yea, they might come back. So."

Generate your Ki... Believe.. Is Kaku Naruto's grandfather or something? Or Goku... Grandpa Gohan!

Really glad they didn't use the weird Tuxedo troops though. Lord Zedd was so much cooler, and his Putties actually looked like a threat. These guys... They look about as threatening as Shin-Chan's mom.

Baron String.. Did Lord Zedd ever make him? He looks very familiar.

.. Um. Why did we need that trippy floating box-explosion just to summon a dragon? Dragon Ranger did it and all he needed was a damned flute!

So.. Yea. I take back what I said. This show makes no sense, and I don't think they should've used it. Saban so made the right decision..

Seriously, wtf did I just watch?!

Uh... what?

First off, the Caltropes are awesome. I love their faces. Anyway, I have no problem with the clothing the Gorma Tribe wear. They look unique, especially Shadam. Hell, if I had the money, I would so have someone make me a Shadam costume for me to cosplay in at conventions.

Yes, Zedd turned a trophy into Baron String. It was the episode when Zedd captured and created candles for the other 4 rangers. In fact, it was the first episode of Season 2 that actually used DaiRanger monsters.

Anyway, it is the first episode. How many shows actually make sense in the first episode? Unlike other series, DaiRanger spends the first 10 episodes building up the cast, making them learning that they have to fight as a team, making them earn the right to pilot mecha and combine them.

Kaku gets way more awesome as the series goes on and gets just as much development as the other characters.

Oh, and no Sentai series is in the same universe as the other outside of non-canonical movies. Gokaiger only did it because it was an anniversary year, but that is it. Only the Showa Kamen Rider series and newest line of series are/were in the same universe.

Dairanger has a bit of a slow yet simultaneously rushed start. It didn't really start clicking for me until the first Kujaku episode. But once it did it was a great ride, still one of my favorite Sentai series.

<people starting to watch Dairanger>

*sigh*

It's like watching a train crash in slow motion.

Here we go again...

Man, Geki Shark Tohja...

How can something look so incredibly stupid but at the same time be really badass? The fight with the crab monster was fantastic, but I have such a hard time looking at this formation and trying to get past the dumb giant head. It's like the Stronger of Sentai mecha.

The Sharkie Chan arc were two really awesome episodes, though. And it looks like the next one brings in the last three Kensei. Not going to lie, I kinda wish their costumes weren't so silly.

Just picture this image in your head and it will be fine:
