    This is my Most Favorite Tokusatsu
    Reason: -There are many likeable character including the minor villains -Speaking of minor villains some of them have important role to the story unlike nowadays tokusatsu that use allies and civilians instead -Very dark story -Most of the song are pretty great -The henshin moment or should i say Ikaru was pretty great
