Why did Prince Kai smash dinosaur eggs?
History[]
A spoiled and unprecedented delinquent, Kai had little sense of right and wrong, carrying out cruel acts such as smashing dinosaur eggs. However, his attitude took its toll on him when a mother Tyrannosaurus caught him red-handed breaking her eggs and angrily chased him off a cliff. The death of her beloved son drove Bandora mad with grief, blaming the dinosaurs for the accident and vowed revenge. She sold her soul to Dai-Satan in exchange for great magical power which she used to wage war on the other tribes as well as the dinosaurs, driving them to the brink of extinction before finally being sealed by the Guardian Beasts.
Kai dies in Bandora the Witch's arms.
170 million years later, Kai was resurrected by Dai-Satan in order to be the main pilot of Dora Talos. While Bandora was overjoyed to see her son again after so long, he was cold to her - refusing to allow her to even touch him.
Piloting Dora Talos, he engaged the Zyurangers in a ferocious battle, but was ultimately defeated.
Following Dai-Satan's final defeat at the hands of Ultimate Daizyuzin and the destruction of Dora Talos, Kai was mortally wounded. He staggered back to Bandora's Palace, and finally allowed his mother to hold him again, as he died in her arms. Bandora was devastated, and her shed tears finally broke the spell Dai-Satan had placed on her.
Personality[]
From what was shown in the flashback, Kai was a spoiled brat whose sense of right and wrong left much to be desired as stated previously, something which attributed to his mother pampered him more than she should. He failed to see the act of smashing dinosaur egg to be as bad as, if no worse than murder until it's too late.
Upon his resurrection, he is cold and matter of fact, and seems to have no love for his mother - sneeringly refusing to allow her to even touch him.
After Dai-Satan's destruction, Kai's humanity was restored, and he staggered back to his mother's arms - embracing her at last and spending his final moments with her love.

Notes[]
- Originally, Kai's counterpart, who was reportedly going to be named Bubba, would have appeared in "Doomsday", as it was planned to be the series finale. However, as Mighty Morphin Power Rangers quickly became a hit, the first season was extended and Dora Talos (Cyclopsus) ended up being piloted by Grifforzer (Goldar).[1]
- In a 2014 interview, director Koichi Sakamoto stated that the film Kyoryuger vs. Go-Busters, which saw the return of the Zyurangers among the past Kyoryu Super Sentai, was originally to feature a daughter of Bandora the Witch and sister of Kai. However, this plan fell through and the character was replaced with Neo-Grifforzer.[2]
- There's a popular theory that Kai was manipulated by Dai-Satan all along; It was him who made Kai smashed the eggs causing his death and turning his mother into Satan's minion.
