Burai and his storyline was pretty popular of their own accord, from the little I know about Zyuranger's response. Enough to warrant a repeat in Dairanger along with appealing to kids via Kibaranger.

Also, the 6th Ranger wasn't exactly 'let's do what we did with Burai/what the US did with Tommy' after that. Though Power Rangers generally made them fit the mold a bit better via inventive storytelling, Sentai was more experimental with how the extra additions joined and their roles in the series.

They could have still taken overseas popularity into consideration, but I really doubt it.
