There is one big issue with gender neutral language in English for nonbinary etc people like myself.

Titles/Honorifics

It's one that's had a lot of debate and many proposed solutions over the years (including Mx. which works for some people but I find clumsy), but I think I've solved it with the help of etymology and Wikipedia

Mr. and Mrs. are both from Master and mistress, and if you trace them back they go to Magister, and then to Magis

Which is related to both Mage, and Maestro, and means roughly the same things as Mister and Mistress

So I suggest (and really enjoy the idea of) perhaps adding Mgs. to Mr. and Mrs., pronounced "Magis"

Which could be used in a spousal way and as a title of respect

When I tried to do similar things for Sir and Ma'am, they come from different roots and so I can't quite as easily do this tracing back and abbreviating, but I am attempting it anyway. (I will update if I find anything worthwhile)

I get not many people are willing or able to change their language in such a forced way like this, and that language is supposed to evolve fluidly forward and not by haltingly filling in gaps left by the gender binary we already have built in to English, but I wonder if Mgs. would catch on...

(Also Mgs. [My last name] sounds reallllllly cool, try it out)

"Gosei Green's brief appearance makes me curious how Goseiger would have been had Green been part of the team all along. I imagine Gosei Great and the Gosei Buster being adjusted to account for a sixth person, and maybe Gosei Blue being female instead so each Gosei Tribe had a male and a female as part of the overall team for balance."

Are there ranks to the gods, like how it is in some other mythologies?

Yes actually! There wasn't originally, but in order to have some sembelance of order, the anicent ethereals created a system of gods based on how powerful they are! Here's the order:

Ethereal(the oldest and most powerful) Primas(the second oldest) Titans(the third oldest) Giants(the fourth oldest and 'the middle child') Gods(the second youngest and the most bratty of the gods) Magi(the youngest)

The Magi didn't actually exist when the Universe fell asleep, but when the Universe woke up, there was the first Magi, the goddess of magic and she was born human, but ascended to godhood status after the old goddess of magic used the last bit of her magic to make the young magi into a god.
