I was expecting this to be a boring slideshow of pictures, perhaps a Henshin montage of more recognized characters at the outside. But a collection of fight scenes from some of the more obscure heroes? This video is awesome!
Those are some great choices! I also really love the middle of the decade; '74 to '76 was maybe the craziest and most inspired run of one-off characters ever with your picks PLUS Kyodain, Kagestar, Mach Baron, Kamen Rider Stronger and Denjin Zaboga! Not to mention the amazing Goranger, which wasn't a franchise YET! I also love "Barom 1" and the "minisode" heroes: "Red, Green, and God-Man" from a few years earlier. It was a great period of raw imagination before Bandai took over!
Barom 1?!! Though I haven't watched the entire series, that show still cracks me up to this day. The opening theme song with it's "burororo-burororo-BURORORO!!!" line... The fat kid and the little kid having to hold hands shouting "Barom Cross!" while staring at each other with very serious facial expressions in order to transform into / summon / materialize into Barom 1... Barom 1's incessant shouting of "BAROM!!!"... that goofy giant fist finisher move... Good stuff!
The 70s was maybe less set in it's ways. There were more original superheroes, both giant and human-sized, in the 70's but the 80's gave us the Space Sheriffs and then the metal hero / rescue shows that followed. Also, the early part of the decade appropriately ramped up the cocaine-level of editing and pace! It's such a shame that 1983's Sentai Dynaman is so scarce on TH-cam in its original form because that pilot episode is as INSANE as tokusatsu TV ever got, to this day! Pretty much every shot was a zoom, and no shot lasts longer than a few seconds, and then there's just shitloads of dynamite or stunts going off every other shot! And there's absolutely no CGI back then...it's just nicotine-addicted stunt men on wires in a rock quarry with explosions and zoom lenses! And it's SO much better than anything we have today! So, even though I prefer the 70's, I have a deep appreciation for what the 80's brought with enormous passion!
I still think modern shows have great roots and originality. Just watched Kamen Rider Ex-Aid and enjoyed it very much, but while the 1970's owed an enormous debt to the 1960's in terms of what Ultraman or Giant Robot developed (plus a national folklore that runs through all these programs to this day). Japan's modern shows are a little more corrupted by Bandai toy sales. I'm a fan of more, not less, so in our modern era, where we're pretty much down to only 2 Toei franchises, Sentai and Rider, I really appreciate the occasional oddball "Tomica Fire Rescue" show or, especially in the last decade, the local hero phenomenon, which gave us so many new prefecture-specific amateur heroes! Tokusatsu is doing really great now but it was much more free-form and creative in the 1970's. And then the production was improved greatly in the '80's. The 90's was a little stagnant by comparison and the 2000's are better but have this toy influence that I think confuses the final product. Although it can be done well and Kamen Rider Gaim was a great example!
Fireman was aired on ABS CBN 2 back in 1991 here in the Philippines. But they change the name Magma Man expect Fireman. I wish ABS CBN will reboot their dubbing on Fireman
Although impressive, this list is extremely subjective. I would say that Kikaida, Akumaizer 3, kamen riders V-1, V-2, and V-3, Inazuman Flash (Which we both agree upon), Battle fever J, and Japanese Spider-Man were my favorites.
I'm talking about on number 4 Azteckaiser. I like with live action and Anime fight scene. I hope Shout Factory will get this classic Tokusasu series. But sadly Azteckaiser was never been aired in Philippines :-( If Azteckaiser will aired in the Philippine television the Filipinos will be wow for this live action and Anime fight scene
@The Ian Benjamin Sybesma Show also About Tokusatsu from 1980s and 1990s Jikuu Senshi Spielban Choujinki Metalder Hikari Sentai Maskman Chikyu Sentai Fiveman Tokkei Winspector Blue SWAT Juukou B Fighter
No Kikaida ? In Hawaii if his name is mentioned to be appearing at Shirokia you will have a thousand people in line with kids . In my opinion it should be 1 Kikaida 2 Kamen Rider V3 3 Zaboga 4 Kikaida 01 5 Rainbowman
Lol. It seems like every other tokusatsu series from the '70s seemed were either an Ultraman spin-off or an Ultraman knock-off: You had Megaloman, Mirrorman, Iron King, Jumborg Ace, Zone Fighter, etc.

I can't believe there are so many wild Japanese superheroes back in the seventies, I guess the 70s was the Golden Age of tokusatsu Heroes
''Hang on, I'll just call the fireman'' *Fireman pops up in the window* ''NOT YOU!''
Fireman: oh *walks away sadly*
Awesome fight scenes 😊
日本人の特撮研究家です。
これらのヒーロー達は、実は日本ではあまり有名ではありませんでした。
なぜなら1970年代は100作近くヒーロー番組が放送されており、どれが人気になるか激戦が起こっていたからです。
しかしその一つ一つはどれも本当に魅力的な物で、熱心なファンの間では人気が出なかった事を残念がられています。
Awesome choices!!!
Didn't know about some of these. I'll definitely need to check some of these out.
Those are some great choices!

I wish there were more episodes of Condorman online to be seen.
i though there will be common hero like super sentai, kamen rider, etc but i wrong, nice upload 👍
Faiyaman (Magmaman when aired on the phils on the 90's) was the only thing ive watched in this collection.. cool though
What a precious footages
Amazing Video
The 70s might even be the golden age of Tokusatsu shows, beacuse it introduced Kamen Rider and Super Sentai to the tv.
truly tokusatsu was at it's best during the 70s.
I personally think the 80s was but I still love the campiness of 70s tokusatsu.
The 70s was maybe less set in it's ways. There were more original superheroes, both giant and human-sized, in the 70's but the 80's gave us the Space Sheriffs and then the metal hero / rescue shows that followed.

Hey, don't be bashing over the newer tokusatsu. If anything, I believe tokusatsu today has gotten better.
I still think modern shows have great roots and originality. Just watched Kamen Rider Ex-Aid and enjoyed it very much, but while the 1970's owed an enormous debt to the 1960's in terms of what Ultraman or Giant Robot developed (plus a national folklore that runs through all these programs to this day).

Josh Milligan True!
Fireman was aired on ABS CBN 2 back in 1991 here in the Philippines. But they change the name Magma Man expect Fireman. I wish ABS CBN will reboot their dubbing on Fireman
These Riku should be on Shout Factory, or any competent companies of entertainment.
Tbh I really enjoy Condormans suit
Although impressive, this list is extremely subjective. I would say that Kikaida, Akumaizer 3, kamen riders V-1, V-2, and V-3, Inazuman Flash (Which we both agree upon), Battle fever J, and Japanese Spider-Man were my favorites.
Didn't know that Azteckaizer mixes both live-action and anime.
Gotta love Stupid Awesome Japanese Heroes! ;3
The ones from the '70s were definitely some of the weirdest. What they lacked in budget and special effects they made up for in action scenes.
Lol, that background music of condorman sounds like mocking the hero .
The only show that i reconized was the faiyaman one also thanks for the Alien Virenus fight lmao
What was the monster name in the asteckaiser part
Best entrance ever @ 0:12-0:15
they have real martial arts skills!

Carlos Rios That's Tokusatsu for you
Kamen Rider, Chojin Bibyun, Inazuman and Kaiketsu Zubat, and I am sure many more...what is it with Japan and scarves?
also skull man too but it's from 2007 so I think it's next time
Where are Goranger go?
Kearl Lago it's a super sentai series and it doesn't show super sentai series in this video
goranger is one of toku but goranger starts in 80's
the gamer may be true but it doesn't say anything about super Sentai
the azteckaizer fights are shown as an anime
No Kikaida ? In Hawaii if his name is mentioned to be appearing at
Shirokia you will have a thousand people in line with kids .
In my opinion it should be
1 Kikaida
2 Kamen Rider V3
3 Zaboga
4 Kikaida 01
5 Rainbowman
Supaidaman, Megaloman, Lionmaru?
But where is kamen rider , ultraman and goranger 😮
SPECTREMAN !
Odd that Kamen Rider or Sentai aren't mentioned in this video
Kamen Rider should be one of them.
正義のシンボル コンドールマン
top 10 Power Rangers fight scene
Where was zubat the best toku of the 70s
Is fireman fighting a giant special child? That's really not right. Its child abuse.
In UEA they watch tokusatsu?
What about doraemon
why no kamen rider and ultraman?
HOPPER LOH and goranger
These are the more obscure heros
No Kamen rider and Super sentai?
Maybe he didn't include them beacuse they would obviously be at the top spots.
hmmm
Fireman vs Saitama one punch man 🤣🤣🤣
Is it me? Or does fireman look like a deformed ultraman
I think he's one of the banished ones
Lol. It seems like every other tokusatsu series from the '70s seemed were either an Ultraman spin-off or an Ultraman knock-off: You had Megaloman, Mirrorman, Iron King, Jumborg Ace, Zone Fighter, etc.
ファイヤーマンと戦った敵があまりにもダサすぎる
