I initially liked him, but everyone's focus involved him in some way and it became a bit much as the season went on.

I guess we're just gonna have to wait and see then, won't we?

Oh, I am not trying to skew your view of Daigo in any way. My daughter loves him, she has everyone call her King because of him (she understood when everyone called him King). So if you like him, then cool, but my opinion is that it was a bit too much of him.

I don't really mind Daigo and I never had a problem with him being the main focus. I mean, we had so much Red Focus in almost every season in the last years since Boukenger or something, it's not that special in Kyoryuger...

Except in those other series they still felt like a team. Kyoryuger might as well have been called Daigo and his Merry Maid Squad. They were so useless they didn't even participate in the final fight.

That's a tad unfair. Most people liked Daigo at the start, but the overwhelming focus on him and his complete lack of flaws is what turned the tides. People don't complain about him because they didn't like him.

I always liked Daigo, and I like how he brings out the best in his teammates. The show is very much King Sentai Daigoger, but I think that's by design. I think a lot of fans have very ossified demands from Sentai, and when a show deviates, they revolt. But different doesn't always mean bad...

How is this different? Damn near every Sentai is basically the Red hero's story. The only thing Kyoryu does differently is that the series takes it another step further by not giving anyone else a story arc. Just story snippets.

It's different because Daigo is more a force of nature than a character, and he facilitates the growth of the others. I also think it's pretty unfair to say none of them have character arcs.

Souji gains the respect of, and then surpasses, his father.
Ian lets go of the vendetta that defined his adulthood.
Nossan learns to stop being overprotective of his family.
Utchy goes from arrogant loner to trusted teammate.
Amy... Well... Amy is an vacuous cypher with nothing to offer. I'll give you that.

I recognize that Kyoryuger may not be the best-ever Sentai series, but that's more due to junk like Ovirapoo and constant toy shilling than lack of character development.

The only one I feel that has any true story was Souji. Ian's story was a footnote, Utchy's story about accepting his team was resolved two episodes after he was introduced, and I can't really remember Nossan's. For me, Souji's growth of getting his father's acceptance as well as growing as a swordsman was the only story that got any time devoted to it and weren't just footnotes in Daigo's personal carnival.
