    I think for the opening it's a tie. I absolutely use to get (and still do) get pump when ever I hear "Power rangers Light speed! RESCUE" but with Go Go V it's just epic. Not only the theme fits its motif much better, but the sound makes you feel that you are genuinely putting your life on the line to save humanity and don't even get me started on those background vocals singing with their epic voices and that music is just heroic. For OST, Go Go v takes it. Sentai soundtracks are always really well done especially for emotional scene. My favourite is the Braver sword ost. Light-speed rescue is pretty forgettable. For the Characters Red- I prefer Matoi a lot more. He is that sort of cheesy brother that act like parent that makes you laugh. In the series he actually taunts the villain in such a fun way and this is done beautifully with Taikawa seji suit acting. I like the he motivate his siblings and he has alot badass moments. Like the moment when they fought those three demons that was spreading there feather across the city and until dawn, if the blow up people will die. When red had the rescue bird canon, full on direct towards the monster. He was basically calling him a pussy and red took a chance and shot him. I think that was done way more better than PR. Pink- Matsuri is the girly girl but I like more because she shines a lot whenever the episode about her. Dana was serious and strong and I like how she was involved in the 6th ranger past but Matsuri to me seem to be more appealing. Blue- Chad actually has a good profession that fits with being on the blue ranger but his profession is not really involved well with him being the blue ranger at all (although his actor is great martial artist). Nagare on the other hand is from the department that is responsible for extinguishing fire as well as being involve in other science invention. This has helped him in that field of being go blue. Green- Shou is not bad but Joel is just a fun and much more charismatic character than Go green. Yellow- Kelsey is good and strong but she's kind of forgettable. Daimon is definitely the hot headed reckless little brother but what I like about him is that his mistakes challenges him. Like the time he accidentally shot a kid when he was fighting a monster. In that episode, you get a sense that Daimon was going through a struggle and was wondering if he is skilled enough to do the job; what this does that it shows the viewers that being a public servant or a cop, you can fuck. I like how matoi eventually comes in tell his younger brother that he can only move on and learn from his flaw. The drama is done much better in Go Go V. I also think that the Go Go V profession makes more sense for them actually being rescuers rather than light speed rescue which like two or 3 them. Villains better. However, I will say that Light speed rescue had a much better ending thatn GGV, sentai own just felt like they didn't give a fuck coming to the end, which makes it feel like a major as pull. Overall, Go Go V is the better series in my opinion when I look at it from a story perspective.

    It's not simply just GoRed decides to go full on direct towards the monster with Life Bird on 1 hand & V-Machine Gun on the other. You have to look at the back story(spoilers alert for those who have not & want to watch GoGoFive) when GoRed & his whole team, or rather all his siblings, failed their mission to defeat the 3 monsters before dusk & saving the city, thus causing great explosions from the feathers around the city. Upon suffering a crushing defeat, & facing failure to save the city, it wrecked the team's whole confidence, even GoRed as well, tho he refused to admit & show his fears in front of his siblings & rather put on a brave front. GoRed eventually recognised his fears, remembering how he had the same fears when rescuing a pregnant civilian before, but braved it all knowing that if there's 1 life that needs to be saved, he'll still do it. It's all of these, all the more made GoRed determine to save the city, even if he had to braved the fears, going full on direct towards the monster.

    Good Review. Both great series but I also agree on the opinions. The professions from the Sentai were more organic to the story but I found the Lightspeed Rangers were more memorable. Green was the perfect example. Joel was cocky, but the actor added this charm to the character which also made him likeable. And completely agree with Yellow. Kelsey would have been far more interesting as a Police Officer.

    Thanks Marcus for edit it and make the comparison between Dinas and Vypra and very on point. I like Go Go V better because of the bond between the siblings from both rangers and evil side, plus to stay more true with the rescue theme. And yep, on lighspeed rescue sometimes it felt they recruted people for American Ninja Warrior, not for a rescue team (Yellow in particular).

    Between this and your GoGoFive review, you've convinced me to (re)watch both seasons down the line (I haven't seen GoGoFive yet). To play Monday Morning Quarterback, this just came to me, I think a good way to adapt the "family dynamic" of GoGoV into Lightspeed without making them related would for all of them to have been dropouts from Terra Venture in Lost Galaxy. Like, they were part of a training unit and there was a big final exam to test their skills, but one or two of them screwed up, which caused the whole team to fail and go back to their daily lives. That way you can still get in the "working through our dysfunctionalities" dynamic in to clash with the dysfunctionalities of the Demons. Plus, it gives more of an excuse to recruit Kelsey other than "she's a mountain climbing/extreme sports expert," lol

    Lightspeed Rescue has always been my favorite season of Power Rangers and probably always will be. I've never seen GoGo V, but I think I'll probably check it out after I finish Dairanger. Nice video btw - you guys are definitely one of my favorite KZread channels. Keep it up! (Edit) I will also add this: a great way to make the choice for Kelsey more valid is make her a forest ranger or a mountain rescue specialist. Anything besides the extreme sports specialist that she was.

    And I actually did enjoyed watching GoGo-V. But, I'm sorry, I did not like the finale at all. But the team-up with Seijuu Sentai Gingaman was a lot better than "Trakeena's Revenge", in my opinion. Mainly because.... *THERE'S NO FREAKIN' CHILD CHARACTER GETTING IN THE WAY OF THE DAMN TEAM-UP AND TAKING UP ALL THE FOCUS FROM THE REAL STARS OF THE PROJECT!!!*

    I think it's because Power Rangers has always liked to have diverse cast & besides them just saying that they were all adopted siblings it wouldn't work with each of the actors being different races. To my understanding Japan's population is mostly pure Japanese with not many people who are mixed with like Mexican, African, White ect. So it's easier for them to do a season where everyone is "related". Also why should the ranger season copy exactly what the sentai did anyways, they should be changing as much as they can to be more original. Plus each of those ranger seasons did/do in some way still include the family relations with Dana, Ryan & Captain Mitchell, then Madison & Vida, also Nick & his parents, & now Brody his brother & their father.

    @Ahmed Bugshan: I think it has something to do with the bad U.S. history coming from the Kennedy Family in particular. I mean, do you really want to connect a history with a bad political family to a show like Power Rangers?! Besides, making the Lightspeed Rangers all part of the same family or making them adopted siblings just won't work for the actors since they're technically from different ethnicity. Just because Japan can get away with making several of its sentai teams be apart of the same respective family, whether they're ninjas or wizards or teachers, doesn't mean we gotta do the same thing here in America. Okay?! Power Rangers is *NOT* Super Sentai. Also, if you look at Japan as a country, there's is like so very little diversity over there. I mean, the entire population is so homogeneous that you hardly see any Caucasian characters or characters of color over there. Oh and in Ninninger (the sentai that was adapted into Ninja Steel), the team only consist of two siblings born from the same father and three cousins. Two, who for some reason is in some kind of a sick incest relationship, namely Blue and Pink. Seriously, is that something you want to see happen in Power Rangers?!

    Eh, a standard beat cop doesn't exactly bring that much to the table vs a professional extreme sports athlete when you're dealing with "fighting in hand to hand combat literal demons with the intent to destroy them" Like Kelsey, and her background and physical skills brings a level of physicality, agility, comfortable in tight spots and repelling to rescue people and go spinning around fighting a demon the next min that a beat cop... just doesn't have. What does the average cop bring to the table? A bit of firearms training? I mean I'm not trying to rag on cops here (as popular as it is to be "acab" online, I don't agree with that at all) Just saying it doesn't make much more sense to make Kelsey a cop anymore than to have her be a professional Extreme Sports athlete...
