Shout out to Kane Kosugi being the only actor to have played a Sentai Ranger (NinjaBlack), an Ultraman (Powered), and a Kamen Rider (Daimon), while also being the son of martial arts Master Sho Kosugi.
Update: Masashi Taniguchi has become the second man to achieve the toku trifecta, being GoBlue, Amazon Alpha/Falchion, and briefly becoming Ultraman Decker.
And Ryu Hayabusa in the Dead or Alive movie!
Also Kazama in Godzilla Final Wars
also reprised his role as Ultraman Powered in the english dub for UGF TAC
Maybe Kane is a Bridge Between 2 Sides pf the World.
& his Dad is Type Cast as the Ninja Actor.
Did you know that because of the earths polluted atmosphere ultraman can only retain his gigantic form for three minutes?
I'll admit, I didn't always know specifically why his giant form was temporary. Thank you for that. 👍
Time is running out!
Fun Fact: The drummer of the Aquabats is Travis Barker, the drummer for Blink-182
I think everyone knows that
he also left loooong before the show and right after super rad I believe
The Baron Von Tito hasn't been part of the Aquabats! for a long time.
Their current drummer is Ricky Fitness.
I didn't know that!
He was in the band for like a hot second.
Never forget, tokusatsu is all around you. All it takes is faith, heart, and a big heaping helping of cheese.
It’s been so long since I’ve ever seen or heard of The Aquabats super show, such crazy memories
They're still going, they continued their show on their official youtube channel and even uploaded both seasons of the original show.
I'm not sure if you've heard of this one but a few years ago Disney XD had a toku-ish show more in the vain of Pacific Rim called "Mech-X4"
Oh God I haven't heard that name in ages, mech-x4 was my jam!
Is that show available on Disney+ by any chance, I've wanted to watch it for a long time
OOOOOOOOOOOOOO Mech-X4 was my jam!
SUPERHUMAN SAMURAI 🎶!!
That’s a HUGE PART OF MY LIFE MY CHILDHOOD, DUDE!!!
Thank you for including Captain Power! I absolutely loved this show growing up, especially Soar-on (the birdbot). Fun fact: this was a J. Michael Straczynski production (Babylon 5), which is a big part why the writing was darker and more serious for a kids show of that era. This show is probably the biggest reason I love toku as much as I do nowadays. Keep up the good work!
Speaking of Captain Power i hope you got the complete series DVD set, cause its out of print now.
@@gridman2142 Oh, most certainly. Gotta preserve the memory!
@@gridman2142 is that also the one Marcos said it will not work with the toys? Even if watched on a CRT TV?
Aquabats was a real indie band before it was a toku show. I called it indie but to be honest several of their song was in the Billboard chart in late 90's. I still remember that. That band really was from that long ago. Even before the whole scene kid movement revive their popularity. If anything their live gig is like a toku stage show that you can see in Japan. Complete with the monster on stage and fight scene skit.
We definitely need more shows like Captain power. I would really like a VR Power Rangers TV show intertwined toy line. With special OCs included.
HELL YES!
5:20 Despite cool connections, Trigger deconfirmed it; it's Special Signature to Save a Soul in Gridman and Scarred Souls Shine Like Stars in Dynazenon
Also, is Street Hawk/Super Force a toku?
That’s just in-a justification for the reference.
I heard that WildBrain (formerly DHX Media, which bought out DiC) did not allow Tsuburaya to use the Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad name in the SSSS part of SSSS Gridman for some reason. Dunno if it's true, but I read that before.
finally, someone else likes The Aquabats! Super Show!. i'm not alone!
thanks for including both Ultraman: Towards The Future & The Aquabats Super Show! Those two are two of my all time favorite shows! 🤟😎🤘
How could you not mention that Gridman had freaking Tim Curry as the big bad's dub VA?
As an Australian, discovering Ultraman Towards the future was a really happy accident
Same here. I was like No Fucking way!?!
I have vague memories of seeing it on TV decades ago, and of Ernie Dingo playing one of the monsters.
@@ajdynon I have never seen it or hared of it until now. I should check it out at some point.
Super Force and Mantis have protagonists with powered armor. It could be noted for reference.
I loved the aquabats when it was airing
I couldn’t wait for Power Morphicon lol
Neither could I.
Do you know where to find a Deathryuger cosplay suit? It’s for the next power morphicon, after this one.
Gave me something to watch on the last hour before work so, we thank you sir Marcos of Satsus
I'm glad you couldn't wait!
Me when I get to 8:43 in the video:
“Because of CZcams’s polluted atmosphere, Marcos can only retain his video for 3 (more) minutes. Time is running out…”
Haha wait, the moment aquabats were on the screen tripped me up because they just played at a local venue and my friends were posting about them, today was my first time hearing about them!
Did you know that because of Earth's polluted atmosphere, Ultraman can only maintain is giant form for three minutes?
Now you know!
And knowing is half the battle!
@@mariic2UL-TRA-MAAAAN! XD
They used space ships to fire back at the action on the Captain Power series, rather than guns. They did have water guns and toy guns but none of them were used to interact with the show. That would have really made the parent groups even more rabid than they already were at the time the show aired. Also worth noting with Captain Power is they made a commercial that cut into a commercial making it look like a message from the future. One of the coolest advertisements for a property ever. Alien Fighters had a different take on the teen hero dynamic. None of them were friends and none of them had anything in common. Its corny but I do have a soft spot for that series too. Glad I got the DVD set when it came out, its long out of print. I wish they would re-release it. The Aquabats was also influenced by Sid and Marty Krofft.
The SSSS winds up meaningful in the ending of the series, otherwise, no need to put too much thought into it until you get there. Looking forward to Gridman Universe next year!
i'll give Super Human Samurai Cyber Squad some points on having Tim Curry play the lead Villain Kilokhan, sersiously, more power ranger-ish villains need some Tim Curry-sma
I’m really glad you mentioned Bibleman. I grew up in church, so I watched it a lot. Sometimes I go back to it just for fun, and it’s actually still pretty good. Definitely very Christian, but it works as a plot device.
I feel sorry for you. 😊
@@deatherbradleywhy tho, by the sound of it, he enjoyed it.
When I was little, I never considered this a Tokusatsu, simply because I didn’t know what was considered Toku at the time.
5:20 , the SSSS actually stands for "Special Signature to Save a Soul" within the show itself , also as a reference to the American adaptation of the original series, "Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad".
Superhuman samurai syber squad is Jake long mixed with tron
fun fact about ultraman powered, the lead is played by Cain Kosugi, AKA Ninja Black Jiraya!!! from kakuranger
These videos rock. Please keep making them. Lots of shows that could definitely fit into this category.
5:46 This just unlocked a memory.
That fact that Bibleman is even in the thumbnail is an instant like
Kudos to Tsuburaya for turning Powered's shoves and pushes into energy palms
Not sure if this counts, but I'd love to see the live action Amazing Spider-Man show in the next one of these
For clarification, I'm talking about the short lived American live action Spider-Man series, not Leopardon Spider-Man
I loved the aquabats super show!
A video on Gridman would be fun! I really loved SSSS Gridman and still have yet to see SSSS DynaZenon. It is so awesome there is going to be an anime movie of it too.☺
4:05 my brother watched this show as a kid and was never able to tell me the damn name but now this show can't finally start paying rent thanks
Japan really goes all out with iconic Tokusatsu than the west does, apparently.
I still remembered getting traumatized by the Dada episode from Ultraman the ultimate hero when was 6, Dada was extremely terrifying for kid me.
2:54 How do you have a hole in the shape of a being that's supposed to be ascended of shapes? I feel sorry for whatever doctor would examine that lol.
Imagine if Ultraman Powered had access to all the cgi power blast effects of modern Ultraman. We got a taste of that in the Absolute Conspiracy.
I remember one episode of the aquabats, where the fast one fell in love with what was essentially a human false hydra’s emo sad girl head.
Ryujin Mayuber is an Okinawan Tokusatsu with a green hero based on the Shisha and blue hero based on a dragon. I didn’t watch it, but I remember seeing some of it and getting a keychain when I lived in Okinawa.
Sidenote, the actor who plays Jack in Samurai Super Squad plays Jack in Boy Meets World. Same character? Or coincidence? You be the judge of that.
5:26 only reason i watched the network as a kid
thank you soo much very direct link n works for me love the way you expressed the installation .
The aquabats got me hooked on kamen rider back in 99
The Bat Commander Also voiced Plex The Robot
I remember seeing the aquabats when I was a kid
All thanks to this it made me discover the Aquabats
Regarding the opening for Powered, the vocal version which was Japan release only still is better, sang ironically by Tatsuya Maeda, aka the guy who sang the Blue Swat opening a year after Powered. Marcos better give it a listen.
Also, like that you ended the video with the words that made me think "is this a Cowboy Bebop reference?" XD
0:30 Cool, I got to cameo in the video!
I would like to mention Armored Surus for the next Installment of this fantastic Series
Me and my boys grew up on The Aquabats Super Show. Not a single song from these guys that doesn't slap
The creator is a huge toku fan
Lego had a line called galidor that got a tv show to promote it that would emit white noise at a frequency that you couldnt hear, but could be picked up by a toy and play specific voice lines and stuff like that
I remember that. I used to watch that show all the time, and had a good number of figures, and the ship
I just now realized that Bibleman is basically Batman if he found God
i love the aquabats!
I was not expecting bibleman but that’s neat
9:09 this is "Jasmine is an ESPer" before "Jasmine is an ESPer" became a thing
I didn’t expect the aqua bats being inspired by tokusatsu!
If you do another vid. You could mention Legacy of the Silver Shadow from the land down under (all the fight scenes are told in still images). Also Aljin Abella (Theo from jungle fury) plays one of the main characters. Used to watch it on occasion on cbbc in the uk
I’m ready!
I LOVE THE AQUABATS!!!!!!
Ultraman Towards the Future aired hear in Ohio around when it came out. The main problem was they kept switching around the time slot. I saw Ultraman Powered on CZcams at one point. Tbh, it was a struggle to finish it.
Some more suggestions in the future:
Galador
Hanuman
Ultraman Tiga (4Kids Dub)
Masked Rider
VR Troopers
Big Bad Beetleborgs
Could you do more forgotten Tokusatsu?
Guys, I forgot. How long can Ultraman keep his giant form for due to earth’s polluted atmosphere?
Some of the El Santo and Blue Demon movies are definitely toku-adjacent imo
11:07 Is there anywhere I can find this cover of Ultraman Powered's theme?
I somehow didn't even know about Ultraman Great until this moment, pretty neat.
These past few years have found me really getting into the franchise which is why I'm sorta surprised that in my time looking into the series, I never stumbled upon Great before this video.
this show isn't easily available through home releases, but you can find the entire series on youtube. maybe it's a legal grey area, but i really recommend it!
Keep in mind that Bibleman was specifically marketed for Christian families, and yes I grew up with episodes of it on vhs.
So does Henry Danger count as toku? Despite being a sitcom, it has special effects, and even transformation sequences.
Most live action superhero shows fall into that category, whether or not it's well received by toku fans. A lot of stateside shows focus more on comedy than action, a whiplash if you're used to only overseas toku.
Holy shit! I remember the teenager tattoo show! It was terrible and I loved it. Hahaba
Theres is one from the philippines that i remember as a kid and it was called super ranger kidz and it was release in 1997
I didn't see too many of your videos but did you mention american shows like Nightman,Superforce and Mantis.
Actually Powered had some production issues.
Holy shit, I remember the Aquabats super show. I used to watch that on The Hub after school. I didn’t know it was considered toku.
Seeing someone mention aqubats feels oddly nice
5:44 the aquabats are a real life ska punk band. They had a drummer in the mid 90s called The Baron Von Tito. In 1997 they went on your along with an up and coming band called blink-182 that their drummer seemed pretty into, which lead to him abandoning his toku hero duties in 1998 to join them under his civilian name, Travis Barker.
Somehow the actor whom played Sam Collins in Samurai Cyber Squad, might also be the kid in Mrs. Doubtfire movie.
As an Australian, the aquabats super show WAS MY SHIT.
Hey if you plan to do a part 6 try to include a legend Of the white dragon it's a it's a movie by Batman the sun and Jason David Frank remember that remember that it's coming out in March of next year
You unlicjed a memories with aquabats
There are also tokusatsu in some music videos..check out Lucky by Kamikazee if you got time 😊
They’re all considered Toku !!
Everything is Toku!!!
How about the Fox Kids show, Los Luchadores? It has some Tokusatsu elements in it.
Can you do tokusatsu video games plz
Idk if this counts as toku or not but when I was a young boy, when I visited my aunt in Singapore I watched an episode of a children’s show called GX5, it’s about a bunch of kids fighting bad guys in cyberspace. Has this sentai-ish feel to it so it might count(?)
If you want a niche tokusatsu video then look up Hiidantsip vs Hiidhalonen by the Estonian comedy show Tujurikkuja. It’s Ultraman but the hero and villain being the Estonian and Finnish prime ministers. If I remember correctly the plot is about the Finns attacking Estonia out of jealousy.
Recommended corner:
Vietnam, in addition to the two (dead) projects you mentioned in the Part 3 video, has a fanmade Tokusatsu series but 5/5 full episodes have been released.
That is "Chiến Đội Vệ Thú" or the English name is "V-Beast Force"
Hope to be mentioned in the Part 6 video.
In addition, Vietnam also has a number of other projects such as Visorman, "Vệ nhân" Vanguard,... which is kind of a separate movie, just 1 episode.
In the animation field, there is a project that has not been broadcast yet, "Gear Soldier Gamega".

Thanks!
Man, I'm still search for that one Tokusatsu where they can change into one and clone to other two. Having robots and I forgot what is it name and what it's called. So sad
Could you cover "Code Lyoko: Evolution" in the next "Tokusatsu Outside of Japan"?
There’s one more but I’m not sure if it’s counts… it was called… I don’t really remember other then I was about Superheroes based off energy like Strength, Agility, being Fast, Ect. And the main villain was an Alien who wanted to drain people energy to become more lazy.
The show was all about exercising and Sports.
Can someone tell me what that show was called… because I’m wondering if it counts as Tokusatsu?
5:18 oh my god i was just thinking that!!!
I remember the aquabat
I watched the Aquabats super show.
Honest question isn't the original The incredible Hulk TV show a Tokusatsu
6:48 of all people to say anything about yo gabba gabba I never thought you would be one of them
Maybe you can talk about the chaiyo productions tokusastu films such as Hanuman and the five riders or Hanuman vs the 7 ultramen
As cheap as Ultraman Powered was, the Japanese version of the OP is easily one of the best in the franchise for me.
Ok...where's Photon?
