I know Japan isn't exactly a hotbed of League, Dota, or Heroes the way Korea and China are, but... maybe it's an oblique reference?

...That is genius.

Most likely no.
My guess is that it is a portmanteau of medal and amoeba.

Who came up with Each Character's Personality? Toei? Bandai? Writer? Or Actors?

In Fourze Summer Movie Webisode where Ryusei and his suit actor talking about what should be Kamen Rider Meteor's Personality

I always thought Head-Writer was the one who come up with the character's personality

For Example

Riku Sanjo think Red Ranger's Personality should be a Hot-Blooded man who claim to be King

Will Zyuohger escape the mediocre Sentai curse?

Gokaiger was beloved by many fans for making a great tribute show to Their favorite Sentai but I think Most Sentai after Gokaiger doesn't have a same success as Gokaiger

Go-Busters didn't do well in a toy sale and I considered this sentai as THE MOST BORING SENTAI SHOW!

Kyoryuger wasn't about teamwork because they treated other ranger as Red Ranger's sidekick, I think this could the factor of why people are disappointed with THE FINALE

Apparently ToQger wasn't beloved by American Fans because they don't care about train (Well you made Kamen Rider Den-O who have a train popular enough that they got so many movie!) and didn't like the concept of imagination (Well you made FanFic based on your imagination)

Ninninger was a promised show but becoming disappointment show, I heard it got better in Second Half but the damage was done! I have no desire of watching Ninninger

I hope Zyuohger will NOT become a mediocre show

While they don't have a best looking mecha and questionable outfit, Zyuohger got a positive reception from the fan even from ME! This show is NOT Red Ranger Show nor a boring show! I will keep watching Zyuohger! This show will be WAY better than Ninninger

Well considering I love both Go-Busters and ToQger and plenty of people liked Kyoryuger a lot, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the "mediocre Sentai curse" doesn't exist in terms of overall quality outside of your personal preferences.

If you mean "is Zyuohger going to break the downward spiral Super Sentai has in terms of ratings", I'm pretty confidently going to say no even though we're only three episodes in. That isn't a reflection on the show itself, but more that I genuinely don't see Sentai breaking away from that trend any time soon.

The question is how good are the toy sales going to be, and its far too early to tell right now.

[Matrixbeast]

Well, all Sentai that aren't Gekiranger are mediocre, so you could say that Sentai has been on something of a downward spiral since 2008-ish

As for Zyuohger, eh...I don't hate it. I feel it's an improvement over ToQ and Ninnin for me.

Starting with Go-Busters, a trend where Red Ranger's Family member play important role

Hiromu's Parents were one of scientists who not only give their son a super power but become part of Enter and Escape's personality trait

Daigo's Father, Dantetsu "abandoned" his son because his ability of hearing The Earth's Melody and realize Deboss Legion will return and need Torin and Dr. Ulshade's help of forming Kyoryuger and want his son to be a Kyoryuger on his own

Right's Mother wasn't big important character like Dantetsu but does play a role where not only she was the only family member realize that Right is missing but because her imagination is stronger than civilian that it break the darkness in ToQ Train I think

Takaharu's Grandfather, Yoshitaka was center of the show's mystery as why his family think he was dead when he look healthy Turn out, He was already DEAD and he have use End Shuriken to resurrect himself

Now let me explain of why I think Yamato's parents will play important role

This will be similar to Magiranger

His mother fall in love with Bird Man who I think might be Yamato's REAL Father but Bird Man left her and the mother remarried another man so Yamato could have a father around

In Magiranger, Miyuki was a normal human when she fall in love with Isamu who is a Heavenly Saint who was forbidden to fall in love with a normal human but he didn't follow the rule

Giving Zyuohger is the 40th Anniversary of Super Sentai, I could see them making a reference of Old Sentai Show

I think ToQ and Ninnin had higher ratings than Kyoryu. The toy sales have been in decline.

I think each show (including Go-Busters) has all had something really good going for it, hence why each season has people that will say "this is my favorite season on sentai and here is why".

You have your reasons for not liking Go-Busters and that is fine, but I think the action sequences were some of the best in the series' history. The close combat style and intense hits were great on screen. Gokai was good, but the best part of it was the cast of rangers and the constant tugging at the nostalgia strings. Other than than, that show could have quickly slipped into a "meh" season, but with the natural disaster and all the former cast members asking to come back, it kicked the show way up. That same disaster is something that also held Go-Busters back.

Kyoryu was bright, fast, and fun; I hated all the focus on Daigo and how everything and everyone revolved around him, but I still liked the show. Not in my top ten though, but it was still fun (my daughter learned the dance it was adorable).

ToQ had a great plot twist and villains were amazing.

Ninnin...hmm...I liked the season because each individual episode was entertaining, but the running plot was severely lacking. I know it was the writer's first go as a head writer and maybe he forgot that a season needs to all be connected. I still enjoyed the fights and the mecha battles.

I do agree that there has been a ton of focus on red rangers lately; hell, even Gokai made the connection of AkaRed to Marvy-chan. That doesn't seem to be stopping with Zyuoh, but at the same time, I don't think it will ever stop. The red ranger is the main character of the show. He is on all the toy boxes, all the promotional material, and is the first suit to be released. Red has a deep meaning in Japan and it only makes sense for the red ranger to be given so much responsibility. But with Daigo, it went too far, lol.

Don't worry, They NOT going Daigo on Yamato.

Yamato is more mature and responsible than Daigo, Right and Takaharu! Come On! He's NOT Daigo 4.0

I'm sure they will always make The Red Ranger the important character but I think they will give some spotlight to other Rangers

I liked ToQger too but Ninninger almost make me a former Sentai Fan. They couldn't undo the damage they did during the second half, I feel the head-writer wasn't ready to head write the show. I think Toei just rushed him to get the episode done.

I hope Junko Komura will NOT make the same mistake as Kento Shimoyama did

Aside from not finding the focus on Daigo so bad myself, I would say Sentai has had a tendency to focus on red for years.

If we go back from Gokaiger, we have Alata being the star of Goseiger (though not as present as others), Takeru as the main focus of Shinkenger, Gekiranger being 90% Jan's story, Magiranger and Dekaranger also being mostly about Kai and Ban growing up etc.
While the degrees of focus certainly valued, Red focus has been a thing for so long. Even older series like Maskman mostly tell the story of their respective Red Ranger.

Personally, I enjoyed the last few years of Sentai a lot. While each show has their flaws, I can wholeheartedly say I liked everything they did the last few years. But then again, the last Sentai (chronologically) I didn't enjoy as much was Go-Busters, so as long as it's fun and entertaining, I'm in for pretty much everything.
