10 Underrated Western Tokusatsu That Are Lost In Sands Of Time Now!

[@tantrisbehm8806]

Great video, great list, and I was so happy to see big bad beetleborgs on the list, I watched that as a kid and I still like it, even though it looks so campy and silly now.

[@JustChuck1982]

I also grew up loving the Big Bad Beetleborgs, especially that opening theme song.

[@Kamenriderneo]

Masked Rider wasn't jsut a rip off of Power Rangers, it was an actual spin off. Edonoi, the home planet of Dex is also the planet where Alpha 5, the robot ally of the Power Rangers, was built. Masked Rider's first appearance was also in Power Rangers at the end of season 2 of Mighty Morphin

[@MattZRJSRoxy]

It was actually Season 3 instead of Season 2 but otherwise correct. Also I don’t approve of anyone referring to shows like Beetleborgs, VR Troopers, Masked Rider and Mystic Knights of Tir na Nog as rip-offs since calling something a ripoff basically implies that it was unauthorized or stolen but those were owned by Saban

[@angelpowers7413]

I agree man none of these shows were rip offs

[@Ironlantern723]

@@angelpowers7413 Well, Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters from Beverly Hills could qualify as a rip-off. As they put it it had multiple similarities to season 1 of Power Rangers.

[@silentwolfkills3924]

Also Big Bad Beetleborg might be in power ranger universe cause the power ranger villains from Forever Red episode are wearing suits from Bi Bad Beetleborg also The Mystic Knights show could be a prequel to mystic force and the characters in it could be mystic force’s teams ancestors

[@Kamenriderneo]

@@silentwolfkills3924 They used the same suit but it wasn't the same characters. Two hero suits were used for the villains of that episode

The way he said kamen rider was killing me but still a good look at some old gem's that I grew up with

[@ValosiTiamata]

Why Americans can't pronounce the letter A but constantly insist on using Japanese words like anime and manga is beyond me. I cringe every time I hear "eh-nime" or "maynga" (and we won't even start on how they mispronounce the actual English loan word waifu as "why -foo"). But I'll forgive the inability to pronounce the word kamen (I'll bet he eats "Rayman" noodles for lunch) if someone actually makes a show called Cayman Rider one day.

[@Ironlantern723]

That was painful. What is it with shows like this where they refuse to make sure they are pronouncing words correctly? They go through the research and take the time to collect the footage for the video, yet they just halfass read it without caring whether or not they say it right.

[@NukeA6]

This video is peak childhood for me. Tokusatsu ruled my life from 94-97 and SSSS was the closest thing rivaling Power Rangers for me.

[@dragonstarplanet]

Mine was like beginning 2000's after Power Rangers and such.

[@SATHYA8492]

I'm really sad to see that Western audiences didn't appreciate Kamen Riders and Metal Heroes shows that were introduce in the US the same way as Power Rangers😭

[@originalShorai]

They were appreciated. They just ran out of footage to use for them.

[@dragonstarplanet]

@@originalShorai Exactly. They could've used other footage from other Space Sheriff's, including Kabutack.

[@aditbiju3717]

@budgiecat2885I don’t think Kamen Rider needs an adaption because it already prefect as it, just maybe present it in it’s original form, but marketed it something for young adults due to the different nature of the series compared to Power Rangers.

[@Duelinator]

[@howlingtitan8397]

Yeah I'm glad I saw this cause that's how I was introduce to Kamen Riders. It was a solid show and a good cast too.

[@27Bluebottle]

Kamen Rider Dragon Knight was a straight up Americanised version of Kame Rider Ryuki, which was edgier still. They might not have been on screen, but the Japanese source material didn't shy away from having characters getting killed by the creatures. Indeed, several of the "vented" riders were actually killed in the original source series rather than dimensionally displaced.

[@TheDarkmaleX]

KRDK wasn't that good actually. No to mention most of the white actors they used looked like. VR Troopers was an edgier version of Power Rangers.

[@Destroyer106]

Yep and the episode where Kamen rider Camo appear the fight master was in Punisher War Zone and the voice of Strider Hiryu in UMVC 3 and Mark Dacascos was in KRDK as the advent master

[@TheEPICFAIL23]

[@matthewrosenthal753]

Masked Rider was actually a spinoff. He first appears in backdoor pilot during season 2 of MMPR.

[@MattZRJSRoxy]

Nice to see that someone thought the same as I was thinking with the Saban Toku shows shouldn’t be called Power Rangers rip-offs

[@shoryuken927]

I remember "animorphs", it was a series where 5 teenagers turned in to animals by collecting their ADN, the enemies where an alien species that looked like leech that controled humans. Also the main role was played by Shawn ashmore (Iceman in the original XMEN trilogy and also apeared as a character in the game man of medan).

[@dragonstarplanet]

[@MrSpade5150]

Fun fact about Power Rangers/VR Troopers. VR Troopers started out as a single-hero show starring Jason David Frank after he left Power Rangers and the original plan was for the actor playing Ryan Steele in VR Troopers to debut as the new White Ranger but so many fans were clamouring for PR to bring bacc Tommy that they pulled an audible and recast JDF as a returning Tommy and made the other guy the leader of a team of 3 troopers.

[@shadow7901]

I remember watching Super Human Samurai, BeetleBorgs & VR Troopers & Masked Rider along with Power Rangers. I loved my childhood.

[@dragonstarplanet]

[@370TL]

Being a 80s baby and watching these shows with a high sugary cereal was the best.

[@dragonstarplanet]

Awesome. 90s baby.

[@sauron153]

An often overlooked gem of the late 80s that would fall under this category was Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future. Similar to Mystic Knights, this was a completely original show that gave a team of freedom fighters power suits to face off against evil robots and their leader, Lord Dread (a clear rip on Darth Vader). It's always held a special place in my heart.

[@thepayne7862]

I loved watching that show as a kid. Had the toys that could interact with the show.

[@dragonstarplanet]

Captain Power was the very 1st Tokusatsu Series in the USA.

[@SellavinAtoms]

I've seen at least about half of these shows throughout my young life one thing you got to love it about these shows is that they even know that ripoffs they acknowledge the power rangers is popular the fact that they were trying to imitate it prove that they were trying to do at least reach some level of excess even though they all were canceled and didn't meet up to the expectations you got to give them credit for at least trying to compete with it cuz the show didn't have any competition or at least any other show that was at least like at the time it was groundbreaking the fact that it's still around today and that it's getting its own movie universe there's produced by Hasbro is proof of that.

[@striderreborn1467]

I'm surprised "Ultraman" didn't make the cut. Also, Los Luchadores felt less like Power Rangers and more like a slightly modernized rendition of Adam West's Batman in terms of campiness and colorful atmosphere. And Sarah Carter who played Maria Valentine would later go on to play Helena in the 2006 Dead or Alive movie.

Very expansive list. I agree that it is amazing to see Japanese stories adapted well for us here in the United States. The original story changes also often make the shows more memorable but some do work better than others. Ferbus from Masked Rider was a very bad idea for example but the Hillhurst Monsters helped make Beetleborgs more interesting. Every new change is its own little experiment. Thank you for being fairer to Galidor. A lot of people come down on it.

Although when it comes to VR Troopers, it was originally going to be a show called Cybertron, which would have been Jason David Frank's show, with him wearing Ryan Steele's suit, while Brad Hawkins was going to become the White Ranger for MMPR, but the fans wanted Tommy back so badly, that it lead to a lot of plans being changed. Hawkins was also the voice of the Gold Ranger on Zeo, yet doesn't even become the one to lend his powers to Jason. So chances are, he was denied twice on becoming an official Power Ranger.

Mystic Knights did have a second season in the works, but with the massive boost in popularity after the ending of In Space Power Rangers Lost Galaxy would end up taking its place and the Post Zordon era of the show would begin. Kind of sad considering Mystic Knights had just added a fifth team member. Edit: as for Dragon Knight focusing on fight scenes, well that has to do with the source material. In Kamen Rider Ryuki the entire plot centered around a battle royale between the different Riders, one of the reasons why it has one of the largest groups of Riders in the entire series. Last man standing gets any one wish granted.
