I& #39;ve been wanting to make a thread about my favorite characters in Sentai (one from each series). Figure there& #39;s no time better than the present. Will stick to only core team members, no 6ths or extras (though this would only change, like, 2 choices). But here we go...
First we have Peggy Matsuyama. I love how they gave everyone a role in Goranger, and Peggy fills a unique niche of being the demolitions expert. Very capable and memorable, going outside what& #39;s to be expected of the lone girl in a team from the 1970s.
From JAKQ we have Higashi Ryu. Probably the first real "lancer" archetype in Sentai, Ryu was just really cool through the early episodes. A shame he gets forgotten later on, because there was a lot of potential here. The first swordsman in Sentai.
I& #39;ve said it before, but I really think Nagisa Maria is a truly underrated pink due to being overshadowed by people not liking the Miss America suit nor Diane. Extremely capable, very smart, with a deep backstory, she& #39;s one of my favorite Sentai pinks.
While not having the greatest amount of content, I really like Kiyama Jun as a character. The team chef that& #39;s kind of a shy doof that can pull out wrestling moves in combat. And he& #39;s the scientist for the team. A weird combo, but yet it works. I only wish he got more.
The first Red here, Hiba Takayuki is a massive step up from the ball of nothing that is Owashi. Compared to Team Dad Akagi, Hiba is more of an action star, he strikes out on his own a lot. Fun while not being annoying, it& #39;s enough to be my favorite of Sun Vulcan.
Next up is Kuroda Kanpei, a really interesting Black. Kuroda has a rare designation of being the tactical strategist, but not the scientist of the team. And thanks to him being played by Haruta Junichi, he also gets a lot of impressive action scenes.
Now this is an underrated Red. Dan Hokuto is actually one of my favorite Reds. I love how he takes care of the kids, how he uses two swords in combat, and how the show didn& #39;t mind making him a little goofy. A friendly Red that hit the right notes for me.
I know Jun is the favorite in Bioman, but I like how the show made a conscious effort to have Katsuragi Hikaru start the show very weak, but grow throughout into someone stronger both as a fighter and as a person. She& #39;s very caring, and episode 39 is a highlight of the show.
