Blerd Without Fear checked it out😊
1:00, that's what I tend to say too, it gets more of a reaction than Japanese Power Rangers.
Whoa!!!!! So shocked I got spotted by my favorite Toku RUclipsr! Love your work, Marco!
Man, you’re not even gonna bring up Ultraman?
That's what I was thinking too. Basically invented the Henshin Hero trope and doesn't even get a mention.
Want to see people with strong ideals fight and defend their ideals as they fight others as well as fight for themselves in their own sense of Justice?
Watch Ryuki.
Dude. Ryuki is one of the main reason I loved Gaim so much. I don't know what it is, but watching people fight for what they believe in gets me pumped! Especially when it turns friends into enemies.
@@BlerdWithoutFear Agreed and it is so awesome. Ryuki is coming back in this 3 episode tie in to Zi-O called Rider Time: Kamen Rider Zi-O and so far it's grear
you don't mention Ultraman?? bruh, that's a crime
Gridman is Ultraman
@@adamshafeeq8685 *Alexa Plays: OTOKO NARA!!!!*
Ernie forgot to mention that Gaim is written by gen urobuchi
True. Love his work, too. Especially Psycho-Pass and Thunderbolt Fantasy
Great job on bringing these to light dude. People sleep on these shows, which is sad. Great childhood memories right here.
YES! I think many people think it looks silly, but I swear... Kamen Rider stays having me in my feelings lol
@@BlerdWithoutFear I miss watching Kamen Rider. I need to find some websites where I can watch all these in Japanese with subtitles of course.
I've been a Power Rangers fan since earliest memory and that fandom has mostly endured over the years. I eventually became a Kamen Rider and Super Sentai. I deeply appreciate finding other blerds that are Toku fans.
Nate Cody great ranger is the best sentai🙂
Thanks for the suggestions!
Anytime! Glad you enjoyed!
5:18 - Actually Saban did not make SPD! That was Disney :D
Man now I got to watch like 70 percent of this series now
They're legit! I'm always watching some toku season or another. I just rewatched Kamen Rider Faiz again, and wrapped up Garo
Look at the big homey Ernie out here diversifying his fanbase.
One suggestion you could do a throwback day or list of videos and focus on tv shows, cartoons, comics, manga, anime and ect that was big maybe in the 80's, 90's and early 2000's. I seen a few people do it with their channels blew up real fast.
I might. I've been debating it for a long time. Hell, I meditated on this video for some weeks lol. I'm working on trying to block out time for each video, but lately so much shit has been going on that I keep getting thrown off schedule. . But we shall see. Thank you!
@@BlerdWithoutFear This was dope tho I shared this video in a few anime blerd groups I was in.
just a mention but the Ultraman franchise exists too :/
Some of these look like something I'd watch for sure.
I highly recommend Build. You will not be let down
Bruh, you shout out to GORO!!! I love that series. ppl are mad sleeping on that.
SSJThug Do you mean Garo?
@@The_mechanick yea, that what I mean
Garo is the shit! A friend tuned me on to it a few months ago and I damn near slapped them for not telling me about it sooner lol
You can always just edit your post
First time I seen a character like that was when Godzilla had Jet Jaguar in it
Yeah! Jet was a cross between Ultraman and Mazinger Z so it makes sense
Yaaaaaassss! Thank you for doing this. I've been into the Super Sentai shows for a while and was estatic when VRV added some of the early ones to their line up. I've ways wanted to get into the Kamen Rider shows but never knew how, thanks for the suggestions. I look forward to more of this content!
If you want the quick and dirty way to get into Kamen Rider, there are three sources that you can rely on: Over-Ti.me subs, TV-Nihon subs, and KissAsian.com
Over-Time and TV-Nihon are my go-to's. KissAsian was, too, but then I needed a way to get it to my TV. But yeah, those are really the only ways because Toei REFUSES to give American fans a legal way to watch it
@@BlerdWithoutFear I find it best that today, it's a good idea to just have a computer hooked up to your TV because much of the best content is found on the Internet. That way, you have the best of both worlds.
I need help!! I've been trying forever to find a funny scene from a power ranger series, the scene goes like this: a specific ranger is fighting a monster but then he puts it against a wall and seduces it, the monster blushes and then they take a selfie, then he turn around slashing the monster ruthlessly 🤣🤣🤣😭😭
I love Super Sentai and Kamen Rider tbh.
Power Rangers from Ninja Strom till RPM was made by Disney.
I wasn't watching at the time those were on, but that makes sense. I only recently in the last few years caught up on RPM. Hasbro seems to have an interesting take on Go-Busters. So far, at least
@@BlerdWithoutFear I see and love what they are doing with the series. Fun fact Power Ramgers SPD got dub by the original Japanese cast

All tokusatsu is awesome but none of them could ever top my favourite till today, Madan Senki Ryukendo
Great video!
Thank you so much! Always glad to talk about some toku!
I remember seeing the first episode of VR Troopers forever ago.
Man, I remember the season that got me into watching Tokusatsu which was Samurai Senta Shinkenger for the Super Sentai part of it. I first heard of Super Sentai back when PR Samurai came out and immediately fell in love with the different seasons that they had. My top 2 favorite Super Sentai gotta be Shinkenger and Gokaiger (It’s one of the best love that show!) Now I only watched 1 season of Kamen Rider which was Wizard but I do plan on watching some more Kamen Rider seasons after I finish with Super Sentai.
Really kinda wish power rangers and Super Sentai always had armor like suits like kamen rider so no one
tell dr k why are they spandex
You just earned yourself anew subscriber, cera! I'm a dinosaur lover, so Zyuranger and Abaranger are my thing. I would love to see more dinosaur tokusatsu.
Fantastic video bro
Ah Sentai. One of the most unique and coolest concepts in superhero history. Glad to hear you mention Zyuranger. I'm a big Toku fan. Do you know Bio-Man was supposed to get an Americanized version courtesy of Saban at one point?
Oh please continue this man
Need recommendations for tokusatsu content plz
I will keep the party going then! I will go ahead and say that one of the best shows you can watch right now is Kamen Rider Build. No joke. It is seriously that good
Dude I have an original Go Ranger action figure from the 70's. I use to get alot of my toys from Japan town in SF. I had no idea that genre had a name. I also was looking for an Ultra man shout out. I know most of the original Japenese shows by their Americanized names like this one i watched called Spectre Man
Yeah I had Ultraman in there at first, but I cut out a lot of content because the video was going too long. Gridman was as close as I got (made by the same writers). I do highly recommend taking a peak at TubiTV because they have a TON of the original Super Sentai series on there. Including a couple we never had adapted like Dairanger.
i don't care bout the sentai series themselves, just like some crossovers
Yeah I was never a big Power Rangers fan but gained a respect for via friends. Being a G-Fan that I I am currently watching the original Ultraman series.
Hey why you left out Voltron aka Beast King Go Lion as and anime equivalent to tonkatsu?
I actually want to check out other tonkatsu that's out there. Thanks for those other recommendations.
Anytime! I had a lot more recommendations in the video, but when I saw how much over 20 minutes I was, I started chopping lol. But yeah, Beast King Go Lion and Ultraman are also some of the GOATs.
My G your content is super dope
Thank you! I do what I can 😁
I fucks wit Garo. Just began my initial watch.
Its good stuff. And man... it gets dark as hell lol
Damn dude, 1 video with all my favorite Tokusatsu shows in it (counting Gridman as an Ultraman show). Love it, Tokusatsu needs more vids like this. Quick question, I want to watch the metal heroes shows but I can't find them subbed anywhere, do you know where I could find them?
Hmmm, the only place I've been able to find them is either on TV-Nihon or on KRDL MOE
@@BlerdWithoutFear Thank you! I'll look for them on there 😊
Makai Kishi Zero haven’t seen gridman but I did see superhuman samurai cyber squad and didn’t like it when I was 10 in 1994 though tattooed teenage alien fighters from Beverly Hills was better,really into super sentai seenabout 15 sentais I know I am repeating I got memory problems😊
VR troopers was my shit, but for my fiance she was a big bad beetle borgs fan. lol
Dude.... VR Troopers was my shit, too! I still watch it on Netflix every now and then. Miss those days. I think Beetle Borgs came a long right at the time I wasn't watching as much stuff after school, but man... if you can catch the original B-Fighter they used to make the show... SO GOOD!!!!!
Technically Disney adapted Dekaranger into S.P.D., not Saban
Have you seen Godzilla King of the Monsters? It's pretty awesome film
Also I'm starting to watch Kamen Rider by starting Ryuki and some Showa ones for lolz
Oh yeah! I loved it. Reminded me of Ghidorah: The 3 Headed Monster and Godzilla: Final Wars. Not bad films to remind people of AT ALL. Glad to hear you're getting on that Kamen Rider! Ryuki is good stuff. Its the first time they ever really did Rider vs Rider as full story arc. One of my favs.
Oh lord, which Showa did you watch? lol
@@BlerdWithoutFear The Showa Rider i watched was original, Shin KR, Black RX and Amazon.
Godzilla KOTM was unfairly critized by Critics who expect the story being like Endgame(they Seriously set that bar for them)
Bro you lost the most iconic Ultraman
Supaida-man even gets recognition in Spider-Verse and Spider-Geddon...
He does. Such a bad show, though lol
Tokusatsu is life tokusatsu is love.
You're goddamn right!
Where would I find them on dvd
Thats the problematic part. Toei doesn't really make them available stateside. You can import, but that gets hella expensive. I'd say try TV-Nihon or Over-Time or Kiss-Asian
ultraman is amazing
Ultraman!!!!
I actually had more about him in this video, but I had to cut it. But yeah. Ultraman is the shit!
Forgive my ignorance, but where would someone like Ultraman fit in?
What do you mean exactly. Like comparing the series to another?
Ultraman is another one of those series that's been around since the 60's. It's been a lot better in the past 10 years because each series is somehow related and they bring back previous Ultramen from time to time. It's definitely tokusatsu, but it stands apart because until the time comes for battle, the protagnonist is human, then he gets big to fight monsters.
TerraEmperor1 I mean does it belong under the same genre?
John Bobbitt I appreciate the clarification
John said pretty much what I would have lol. Ultraman R/B is one of the current series and is really good. Highly recommend. Also, Netflix has a new Ultraman CG animated series about to drop this month.
Very nice dude. If you enjoy Metal heroes. Good choice for you to look at.
Jukko B fighter and B fighter Kabuto.
They were the sources for Beetleborgs and Beetleborgs Metallix.
I wish I could watch more kamen rider. I wish it wasn't so hard for me to find
You are right, I have watched it and didn't realize it....lol... I knew power rangers was based on Tokusatsu but had no idea the wide array of shows there were and are of tokusatsu.... Very interesting stuff sir...
Anytime! I've constantly told people that if you ever wanna see how different Mighty Morphin' was from the OG show? Rita Repulsa is a satanist. She hardcore tries to kill kids. And she does in fact summon Satan lol
@@BlerdWithoutFear oh snap...lol...yep that is different but I can see that just a little bit based off her outfit... In that case, I'll stick with the Mighty Morphing 0ower Ranger...haha
My man brought out Tattoed Teenage Alien Fighters from Beverly Hills?!?😂😂😂 *not worthy!!* 🙏
I thought I'd be the only one to remember it lol
7:03 You're not big on Showa-era Kamen Rider because "eh, it's old...?" Christ al-fuckin'-mighty, I can't stand Tokusatsu fans sometimes. Also, no mention of Ultraman...
Where ultraman
Kamen Rider W is awesome
I word Ultraman
He's legit. I didn't get to include him in this, but I do recommend Ultramna R/B right now. Its been great
@@BlerdWithoutFear the Netflix series isn't bad I watched a few episodes.
Where was Ultraman?😔
I would also recommend Power Rangers RPM, not only on its storytelling and lack of stock footage (minus mech scenes), and if you wanna see how different Sentai and Power Rangers can be
I need help!! I've been trying forever to find a funny scene from a power ranger series, the scene goes like this: a specific ranger is fighting a monster but then he puts it against a wall and seduces it, the monster blushes and then they take a selfie, then he turn around slashing the monster ruthlessly 🤣🤣🤣😭😭
Its from Ninja Steel.
No mention of Super Sentai Jettoman!? Shame!
you forgot about godzilla showa era and millennium era and legendary and after 2021 toho be making its own cinematic universe and forgot about gamera as well.
Wasn't much to talk about with Godzilla so I didn't spend much time on them. Gamera, I did legitimately leave out. I was never the biggest fan of him lol
I LOVE Toku! And also Yeah for more Black Nerds who Love Toku.
So how do you feel about Shout Factory making subbed Sentai?
My only with the subs though is that they are very basic but otherwise Yeah for subbed Sentai.
Hell yeah! I like them fine, but I'm very spoiled by my fansub Sentai and Kamen Rider lol.
As a relatively new follower, can u post a new video about tokusatsu
Your forgot about another famous tokusatsu francise and that is ultraman and yeah it’s may be focused on kids but because your put sentai on the video so it would only make sense to put ultraman as well
1st thing came to mind was power rangers. 2:26 reminded me of ultraman and the guyver.
Edit: wrote this b4 watching entire video. You pretty much covered this. Have you seen parasyte? Dont know the original name
Parasyte: The Maxim? Oh yeah! Love that series. Theme song was stuck in my head for a month lol. The thing you time tagged is "technically" an Ultraman spin off. Kind of. Has a great anime going right now called SSSS.Gridman on Crunchyroll and Funimation
#supersentai #kamenrider
I have been wanting to watch some stuff like this since the end of SSSS.GRIDMAN. I haven't because the whole legality thing. But thanks for the recomendations. I'm start with the Amazon Tokusatsu.
highly recommend it. If you really liked SSSS.GRIDMAN give Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters a look!
The holder who currently doing Ultraman worldwide DVD/BDs will release Gridman Complete Blu Ray/DVDs
Ha this was awesome man shout out to the 90s I’m glad I got my share of Saturday morning toons..I wonder if that show van-pires is considered toku cuz that was a cringy disaster to watch even as a kid but I still loved it
DUDE!!!!!!!! Van-Pires lol. I remember that show! It wasn't tokusatsu, but it was DEFINITELY inspired by it.
Where ultraman like it also the maid reases for tokusatsu
Have you seen the Cutie Honey series? Or the Samurai Flamenco anime?
Captain Marvelous was the real marvel don't @ me 😁
Gokaiger ftw
Hey... Y'all know how I feel about Captain Marvelous. Thats my dude
I'm watching Kamen Rider drive so what kind is that one 🤗
Another police procedural type, up to a point. I haven't made it very far in that one lol.
@@BlerdWithoutFear me either I got about 10-12 episodes recorded
Can I watch all these on RUclips? Or is there another/better site?
i saw garo the anime it was ok but not the best thing i have ever seen
The anime, depending on which one, tends to vary from ok to not so good. They're definitely not horrible. But I'd rather watch the live action
Link please. To Guaru I want to watch it
KissAsian.com
John got you hooked up
@@ImYourS3npai the site was shut down
Another anime similiar super sentai is precure
we are
we are
V R
WE ARE VR TROOPERS! dude this was my shit. I was so hurt when it got canceled. They blew threw ALL the stock footage quick
Ecto Phase Activate!! The worst......
The absolute.... WORST. I was PISSED when this show came out because I was so excited. I knew the old series so I had hope... but then they killed it lol
@@BlerdWithoutFear they killed everybody's career also, lol, even the theme song sucked!
Seen about 15 sentais huge sentai fan haven’t seen Karen rider yet,vr troopers is a good show,tattooed teenage alien fighters from Beverly Hills is one of my favorites, favorite sentais are bioman,jetman,zyuranger,megaranger,gingaman and timeranger glad I am not a fan of power rangers give me a sentai anyday 😊
Ah, I see you too are a person of culture. 😎 I love all those you mentioned. Especially Megaranger and Time Ranger. Kamen Rider is very good. I think you'll like it. Especially Kamen Rider Den-O or Build
Masked Rider wasn’t as bad as people make it out to be. They dressed the main character in the same outfit from Black RX so they could use footage from behind as well as far away.
Also, you forgot Ryukendo.
Oh, the old series starting with Jetman are being released on DVD and can be found on amazon as well as the publisher’s website (free to watch btw).
Also,, if you ever wanna talk toku lmk.
Can't forget what you never heard of lol. Jetman is getting the DVD release thanks to Shout Factory. They've been subbing and streaming the shows lately. I'm hoping they get to do Kamen Rider eventually.
Does your wife ever let you go outside? How did you have time to watch all those shows? Wow
She watches them with me lol
“To see a real green ranger” WHAAAAAT you watch your mouth disrespecting a legend
No disrespect. But Burai would rinse Tommy so quick lol. No Burai... there'd be no Tommy lol
Will have to check some of them out. Anime is hit or skip with me and my sons. Kamen Rider it is. (Don’t know how to spell it) and Garo.
You nailed it! I HIGHLY recommend Kamen Rider Build. I can't recommend it enough. If you wind up doing Garo, start with the original series. Its one of the few that actually has a story line that spans the whole series. And I'm with you on anime, these days. I have not enjoyed many of the things I've seen lately.
Blerd Without Fear just watched the first episode of Garo. Not bad. I think I just have to get used to the different style. But not bad at all.
Please explain Kamen Rider Build. Love the show an people should know about it.
I plan to do something for my boy, Sento.
Kamen Rider Black made me want to ride a motorcycle. It wasn't Sons of Anarchy.
I seem to enjoy watching Tokusatsu more than Anime but Im not entirely sure why. Maybe I just love awesome costume designs and spectacular special affects I dont know. I've seen Anime do this too but Kamen rider just seems to do more for me
You're not alone. I've almost completely dropped off anime and have been watching more Tokusatsu than anything else for the last year and some change. I think (for me at least) its that you get more out of seeing actual people doing things you normally only see in anime and there's more of a connection. Similar story telling styles, similar stakes, but with actual people. Idk.
@@BlerdWithoutFear
That actually might be it, I do see more fluid motion and can relate more to real life people than animated characters.
Good stuff my dude, grew up in the 90's and loved the original Power Rangers, VR Troopers and Masked Rider, and yes I remember Superhuman Samurai Cyber Squad
It was a great time to be a kid. My little girl has gotten hooked on OG Power Rangers lately. My wife was blown away when she realized this stuff has been around since the 70's lol
@@BlerdWithoutFear lol for sure! A few years ago my friend and I watch a video that had every incarnation of Super Sentai we was like man Saban is sitting on money!
I've watched Power Rangers, Kamen Rider Dragon Knight, and a vague recollection of watching a dubbed episode of Ultraman.
SSSS ALL OF MY CHILDHOOD
PLUS ULTRA!!!
I still hum the theme song every now and then lol
Right now, enjoying the HELL out of Kamen Rider Zi-O! Otherwise, Blade, Faiz, Ryuki, and Kabuto are my standout favorites! I'd love it if you'd talk more about toku!
I definitely plan to. I wasn't 100% at first, but I am definitely sure now. Zi-O is legit. Especially the story line they're touching on right now. Its tense as hell lol. And bruh.... Faiz and Ryuki are right up there at the top for me. I haven't finished Blade yet, but its hella good, too
if you really want to go way way way back...old old old school...LOL...check out:
ULTRAMAN!!!!
Ultraman is legit. Peep that latest Ultraman R/B. Its for real
Thank you so much for this. I forgot about "Kamen rider" I grew up on it and I had forgotten 👍🏾👏🏾
Its so good. Especially lately. I have been loving almost every season thats dropped lately.
@@BlerdWithoutFear that's really awsome man. I actually started watching mighty orphen power rangers on Netflix recently. Keep up the good work man. Love the content
Kamen Rider?
@@LiMe251 a miss spell I made 5 years ago. Thank you
@@latenightgaming5057 np
I loved Kamen Rider Dragon Knight. Wish it got another season.
Dragon knight is not really on tokatsu in tokatsu is called kamen rider ryuki
@@noh1312
Not sure what you mean. I was responding to have the youtuber didn't like Dragon knight
Tokusatsu is tokusatsu. Even if its American, Korean, Indian, or from any other country. Its actually quite common. I don't hate Dragon Knight. I just think Ryuki is better lol
Broooo, I have been following you for comic book content for a while now. So I was pleasantly surprised when I decided to go down a Tokusatsu rabbit hole and you showed up in one of my searches, I literally fist pumped! I was feeling overwhelmed and didn’t really know where to begin so I really appreciate all the info that you included in the video. Thanks.
Why no Ultraman love?
Gridman might technically be Ultraman
Gridman is in fact a part of Ultra Man 😁 Its also my favorite part of Ultra Man lol
Blerd Without Fear interesting 🧐
Ultraman?
“[Power Rangers SPD] is the rare time Saban did a better job than the original“
I’m going to have to stop watching there. Power rangers SPD stinks, and your lie just made me hate it even more. And by the way, Power rangers SPD was a Disney era season, so your sentence was wrong in more than one guard.
...this is an awesome synopsis...excellence as usual...okay,I obviously left Gaim and Build way too early...
Enjoyed Amazons on...Amazon...
And Garo is that business!!
HELL YEAH!!!! We got a little something something for Garo coming up. I will say Gaim takes a minute to get going, but man... once every main player has his lock seed... its ON!!!! Build is a little formulaic for the first 6 to 8 episodes, but theres' a twist around 10 or 11 that made me stay on for life lol
Kamen rider Amazon is no joke and not to be slept on. Very dark.
Would love to watch Lupin vs Pato but don't know of a safe website with English subs 😢
how do you feel about power rangers rpm? i feel like that is the best power rangers series I've seen
kinda sad gransazers were not included lol
*sip* time to sit down and watch some people in wacky/cool looking costumes fight monsters or aliens
kamen rider black is by far the best kamen rider.
Um, no word about Ultraman
