Ever since they announced that Sakura and Hana would be getting their own short spin-off series, Im really hoping they somehow end up getting a kiss, even if its just on the cheek I cant wait any longer cuz they are just too cute together!!!!!
@@Tycoon.test1972 Agreed, though I wouldn't say it COMPLETELY ruined the ship. To me, it more or less halted the ship, I dunno, it could be verified in the Generations Movie coming in December, if not, then I'm fine with that.
As someone who's been watching Toku since the early-mid 90's (literally grew up on MMPR through SPD), and is transfemme; I'm happy we've been getting as much LGBTQ rep in Toku as we have and am glad we've *finally* got a openly gay/lesbian Ranger in PR itself with as minimal fuss from production since Hasbro took over (note that Yost's hassles were under Saban's first ownership period, and Dino Fury's subtly gay characters were snuck under the radar during Saban's second ownership period of the show), one that can be a positive role model for queer youth to show that anybody can be a hero and that they are NOT an 'evil' person (unlike the past century of queer-coded villains in movies and shows that folks like myself had shoved down our throats). Okay; Luna Dopant was a bit iffy as the "gay villain" he was written as, and Naki being NB as well as a (plot-demanded) villain, but things have been getting better as there's more nuanced depictions of LGBTQ characters in Rider beyond them (Yu being transfemale *and* the hero Bishojo Kamen Poitrine from Movie War Ultimatum, in addition to being Kamen Rider Mage in Magic Land, and Oren/Bravo not being specifically a villain (unlike Duke and Sigurd) but rather a strict-but-caring parental figure for Gridon, especially when he's shown the truth about the whole chaos Yggdrasil is working around).
Solid vid. Momohero is my personal fav out of all these for not just having a in depth arc, but for a really small detail that I'm sure the staff didn't intend but meant the world to me as a Genderfiuld leaning fem person who still likes masc clothes, she didn't have to change her apperance to be accepted as a women by her friends. Also on the note of Inoue not handling LGBT characters well I'd more so blame that on his tendency of melodrama then any kind of distain. Great stuff eitherway.
So I don't blame you for not including them, and frankly I'm not sure if it counter, but in the CD Drama for Driver, in Gou's lucid dream he goes on a date with Chase. Though at first he questions why they're in that scenario, he later admits it was what he really wanted.
i would not say izzy and fern is treated like any other relationship, cos when was the last time we saw any ranger in a relationship handled this well?
Great video :) Happy (slightly early) pride 2023!! I think my favorite is Ichika/MomoHero. Her story is very moving and heartwarming, and I really love how her journeys of becoming a hero and growing to be more confident and happy with her gender are so closely linked.
I feel like you missed quite a few people in Kamen Rider that are queer. For instance, in Kuuga, Ichijo admits to Tsubaki that he's in love with Godai Yususke. In Ryuki, Kitaoka and Goro are in a relationship - according to their character book, the two have a joint bank account lol. Kitaoka and Goro's relationship is also referenced in one of the OOOs net movies, it's pretty cute. Kamen Rider Blade pretty much is ABOUT Kenzaki and Hajime falling in love with each other, and the audio drama double downs on that. There's the Hell Bros in Kabuto, who spend the back half of that show talking about how much they love darkness and also each other and also darkness. Kamen Rider Drive not only has Gou, who gets outted in his Mach Drama CD, but also the poly trio of Heart, Brain, and Medic. And if I really wanted to die on a hill I would bring up OOOs or Ex-Aid, but quite frankly there is so much obviously queer stuff in Rider that it blows my mind that so much of it is glossed over all the time.
That scene kills me every time. Honestly the most beautiful part of Kuuga is watching Godai and Ichigou fall in love, so many little moments. There's a scene where they are in the squad call together, and Godai says something funny and Ichigou hands his smile behind his hand - my gay little heart can only take so much! The novel really double down on Ichigo being in love with Godai and refusing to admit it to him.
Although Sakura and Hana are my favorite in the video, I like the other ones too. It’s nice to see Sakura and Hana’s scenes together since we don’t really get that much of same gender relationships in Tokusatsu. Well done! (Spoilers for girls remix) TOEI IF YOU HAVE SO MUCH TOWARDS SAKURA AND HANA HOW CAN YOU END IT BY SAYING THAT THEY ARE SISTERS WITH THE LYRICS OF RIOT IN BLOOM TOO HOW COULD YOU! This is the most disappointed I have felt watching Tokusatsu ever.
I have a strange feeling that Girls Remix wasn't written by Revice's main writer, Hanta Kinoshita. Instead, this special is written by the series' secondary writer, Hiroki Uchida.
Way to go on your video rep on toku lgbt!! Might be a dime a dozen but all things considering I'm very happy for more rep being shown, for sure Izzy has got to be my favorite of them all
Happy Pride Month, and really cool video. One thing that i really like about the Tokusatsu fandom is how open it is to LGBTQ+ people, a soft place to everyone. My personal favorit is Momo Hero, and i love The Highschool heroes as a whole. And Tezuka/Kamen Rider Raia, as a close second, not the Rider Time Ryuki version, but the Ryuki show version; tt is implied that he had something more with his pianist "friend", and thinking that way, leaves the motivation of wanting to stop the war and bring Asakura to justice, heavier, as well as his death in Shinji's arms. And even though I have some issues with how Kiramiger does its "representations" of the spectrum, I'm glad other people like it.
I was not expecting Riley from Dino charge and Monty from ninja steel to be on this list. I originally thought that Riley was just being a good friend, and Monty was being a creep. even after watching this video I still think that.
I swear tokusatsu representation is few compare to the marvel empire in recent years, but I found it more respectful, villans aren't made to be overly mean or cartoony(well less cartoony than most "wacky" characters. Piere in particular always seemed like an awesome independent character. about Raya and Gai: even if is a weak writing I love the idea of lovers who just had sex having to discuss the possibility of having to kill their partner,is just the gritty shit I could see in Ryuki in general
My buddy and I did a weekly podcast for every Revice episode on my Channel. We both felt Sakura and Hana as a couple right from the start. We were so hoping they'd pull through with these two and we'd get our first same-sex couple at Kamen Rider. It was clear that it will never be clearly stated in the series. After all, Kamen Rider often has a problem with romantic feelings. I remember Rintaro and Mai from Kamen Rider Saber. Or at the wedding at Kamen Rider Drive, they can't even kiss. That's why our hope lay in the Tokusatsu Fan Club and the Kamen Riders Jeanne and Aquilera Special. Since more is possible here (often more brutal and in the Kiramager's Yodonna Returns there was also a kiss between two women.) Unfortunately, they decided on the safe rail in the end. Sakura and Hana only Talk about at the end of episode 3 would now be the big sister and that's it. That really broke our hearts. What remains positive, of course, is that there might be something like this more often. They were both very popular. Also, I like the female rider as well seems to remain a staple, but my Yuri heart didn't take it very well.
As the representative local and vocal Hanasaku-er... THANK YOU. Haters stay mad mad maddd. I only got into Toku back in January but it's so nice to see LGBT rep becoming more common, good or not so good. Really wish I had this as a kid so growing up I wouldn't have felt so conflicted on accepting my gender identity & sexuality. Really glad kids and young teens have this to look up to in their age. Lovely work on your video, keep it up. 💗❤🤍🧡💛🤍💜🖤
I would add three LGBTQ+ characters for super sentai: in Carranger, the monster of episode 17 was a very effeminate male fashion designer who was rebranded as a female in Power Rangers Turbo, a man who fell for Mio in ToQger before falling for Akira after being kissed by him (offscreen) and the monster of episode 36 in Zyuohger, who was dancing samba and seemed to have a big crush for Azard.
Happy Pride Month!!!! This is a very good and interesting video!!! I believe that we will get to see more of LGBTQ representation especially with Super Sentai from what one of the producers have said and I think this will be the same with Kamen Rider and Ultraman too hopefully. My favourite LGBTQ is Orenz Pierre. I love his relationship and mentorship with Junoichi which lead to Junoichi becoming a better man even when Junoichi forgots that feeling and Orenz made him remember again which is funny. Plus Orenz is fun as heck to watch. Also, I have fond memories of Yu Kamimura as well. She is so memorable. Honestly, I really love and resonate with Ichika Sakurai who is Momohero from High School Heroes a lot more. She is a strong hero who sticks and stay true to her feelings and identity while finding a passive solution to a problem such as talking to the monster of the week in her Momohero debut. The way she connects with the characters and give a sense of freedom and being true to who you are is something valuable to me even now.
I always felt like Lazer wasn't entirely straight given how hard he took his old coworkers death and all his interactions with Emu it's never confirmed at all but all there scenes together feel "extra" also hoppers
hello Kaydiant, Even though I don't understand anything English I liked it anyway Just Want You Put Subtitles In Brazilian Portuguese For Me and Other Brazilians You understand and I'm using the Translator of Keyboard, got it?🇧🇷
Another fact about Finis is when she transformed into another Ichigou/another shin Ichigou, he voiced changed to sound masculine instead of feminine although she’s still more feminine before the transformation.

Thanks, you too!
hey ur nearly to 400 subs 🥳🥳

It was mere fanservice and only in Mizuki's head. But it was very enjoyable anyway.

Great vid!!!
I respect who you are and also Momo Hero is one of my favorite characters
If I was writing the show, I would’ve had Izzy and fern have a build up to that moment at the end of episode 13. Rather than it, just happening.
Mister Donuts guy was so attractive to mr when I was a child😳
like only half of these are true. stop hoping too much
Another fact about Finis is when she transformed into another Ichigou/another shin Ichigou, he voiced changed to sound masculine instead of feminine although she’s still more feminine before the transformation.
I never knew you were trans
Kamen rider said Trans Rights.

nyo
No one rides straight
What do you mean Jeanne is LGBTQIA? I thought she’s straight and is just friends with Hana later on
Jeanne is not straight. The way Sakura and Hana interact with each other is not what friends do.
And now there's a Non-Binary ranger in the new Sentai
For a sexuality being 1-3% of the population. I don't get it.
Yes, I have a boyfriend and love him.
The tail should not wag the dog.
Justice is not trans
Extending nexus as non binary because of the host is cringe 🤣🤣
