Gekiranger had seven ... oh I can't remember what Shafu and the gang were called now
Furries? lol

Most of those examples relate to only one or two characters, while Go-Busters had four Buddyroids and Gekiranger had seven ... oh I can't remember what Shafu and the gang were called now
The issue isn't with a 3-man team. It's how the show was executed, like what happened with Go-Busters. To where it's ratings & sales were poor. In which, Bandai called it "dark".
Dukemon's latest as posted on Rangerboard:
Given the source, I'm hoping it's fake. I don't want to see another three-man team (although this sounds just like something Toei would do: they like three-man teams because it's cheaper for them to make and allows them to shoehorn in more merchandising stuff with the addition of robots or quirky non-human characters, so using it with a popular theme means a hit is more likely and then they can justify doing three-man teams more often)
Where did you read this?
I agree it sounds like BS. But Karin as a senshi is very possible in my mind.

While Kyoryuger's extra Rangers may not have been great (I would not even dignify Shinya or Ulshade with the label of "suit-stuffer") I still prefer them to a show full of wacky robots or gonks in place of humans.
And look how that worked out for sales!
That leaves two or three of the team to be treated as extras, though - they don't get as much attention or focus as the core team. It is different from writing a full team of five core members who all have to be present and accounted for throughout the series.
Kyoryu's toys were a hit though, and ToQger's are reportedly doing very well. I can't see them being that short of cash at the moment.
