Sorry for the lack of Buddy Roids. I wasnt sure where or how to add them.
Go-Busters started pretty weak in my opinion, but as the plot advanced it only got better and better and halfway through I was already completely in love with the show.
Ryuuji was my favorite character at first, but was eventually replaced by Beet, and later by Jin. Hiromu was also a good protagonist, and only got better as the series advanced. Kuroki, Nakamura and Morishita were great supporting characters and showed very well that the Go-Busters werent fighting alone. And while some Ranger partners ended up forgotten in previous Sentais, the Buddy Roids remained relevant trought the whole series. The only main character I had no strong feelings for was Yoko, but I still liked her regardless. My main complaint about the main character is that while most 6th rangers are much stronger than initial cast, Jin and J were too weak compared to the Go-Busters. This become specially obvious after they acquired the Powered Custom.
Messiah wasnt a very memorable villain, but he did his job, acting more as a looming treat rather than a more active antagonist, allowing Enter to steal the spotlight as well as the role of big bad. Enter was absolutely perfect. I knew from the very first episode that he was going to be a big deal, but he still surprised me by becoming the final enemy, even though I begun to suspect it would happen after Messia was defeated for the first time. Escape was a great introduction to the series, adding tension into Vaglass, previously represented solely by Enter. I also loved her rivalry with Ryuji. Their fight when Ryuji purposely overheat was one of my favorite moments of not only Go-Busters, but Super Sentai itself. I also need to draw Corrupted Escape as as Draconequus sometime.
I still have a lot of feels regarding Jin. Until the Final Mission I still thought they were going to find a way to save him. I mean, they always find a way. Well, this time they didnt, and now hes dead. If Im not wrong, this is the first time a Ranger die ever since AbareKiller in Abaranger, unless you count Rio and Mele in Gekiranger. Anyway, Jins sacrifice closed the series wonderfully, and while he was already my favorite character by then, it made me love him even more. I also love and live by his philosophy: Perfection is boring. Flaws make things more interesting.
Go-Busters is still too fresh in my mind to say for sure, but I think I can say its competing with Gekiranger as my favorite Super Sentai.
Shutdown Kanryou!
