 * 3) * Ryuunosuke (ShinkenBlue) being the most dedicated yet uptight of the team.
 * 4) * Mako (ShinkenPink) being the caring big sister of the team.
 * 5) * Chiaki (ShinkenGreen) being the most rebellious hot-head of the team.
 * 6) * Kotoha (ShinkenYellow) being the clumsy and the kindest of the team.
 * 7) *And Genta (ShinkenGold) being both the smartest and comic relief of the team.
 * 8) Dokoku, Juuzo, and Akumaro are likable and intimidating villains.
 * 9) The opening theme is extremely catchy and will just pump your blood for every episode.
 * 10) Takeru revealing to be a kagemusha was executed very well.
 * 11) Takeru's final battle with Juzo was really emotional and badass.
 * 12) It teamed up with Tensou Sentai Goseiger, an amazing Super Sentai season.
 * 13) Great opening and ending themes.
 * 14) The concept of the show is very well executed.
 * 15) Dayu's backstory is really tragic and well handled.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Tanba (and on some occasions Genta and Ryunosuke) can be very annoying and obnoxious.
 * 2) It's the counterpart (Power Rangers Samurai) was not well received and marked the beginning of the downfall of its Power Rangers franchise.
 * 3) It came off of Engine Sentai Go-Onger, a flawed Super Sentai season (though the teamup was actually amazing)
 * 4) There are some bad episodes such the 14th episode and the 28th episode.
 * 5) It crossed over with mh:terribletvshows:Kamen Rider Decade, a terrible Kamen Rider season''.
