I'm not a biggest fan of this series, although I think the beginning an excellent followup to previous series:
You have the Traitor storyline right after the classic Burai storyline, showing that the tale's a bit inspired by Japanese pop culture of the 1980s with characters such as Char Aznable, Hakaider, etc..
You have the Japanese youths mimicking that of the tropes that had defined Jetman, Turboranger, etc..
Dairinryuu was a great addition to the series, being such a big bad toy that probably inspired Dark Spectre later on, showing how all living creatures are part of a universe and how we should take care of it, (ignoring whenever the scientific end of the Universe is)
There's a bit of some plot holes with the Master Kaku and Gorma revelation storyline, but again, that was thematically powerful with the rest of the show with the Traitor storyline, giving the Dairangers a bit of a connection to Gorma in the show like the Baka Gorma and Jin did.
And Kou is also a reflection of being a bad kid like Shouji who is obviously modeled after 80s Japanese and even US punks like Yu Yu Hakusho's Kuwabara. That connection brings him close to his twin brother and family associated with Gorma.
