Is wrasslin' the western equivalent of toku?
Rider themed wrassler when?
Oh, and don't forget
>It's basically a commercial for action figures
>>13974587
I dream of a Tokusatsu-themed wrestling league. Like, Kaiju Big Battel, but easier to watch.
>>13974587
By those standards, yes, but strictly speaking a lot of primetime sci-fi shows can be considered toku, too.
This thread has WHAT exactly to do with /m/?
Tokusatsu is about special effects. It's what the word fucking means.
Star Trek is an example "western toku".

There, I just saved us like five posts.

So certain time periods of CHIKARA?

>>13974667
More like you got BTFO by moot and the mods and sucked up your baby tears
>>13974696
Oh yeah, I forgot about them. Yeah, Chikara but with more Riderness.
Why is this thread on /m/
Take it to /asp/ or /tv/ please
As much as people complain about Ginga, Ninninger or Wizard, annual creative team and cast changes ensures that TV tokusatsu doesn't stay too terrible for too long
which WWE
can definitely not say
Is there a toku where the hero mostly uses wrestling moves? The only one I can think of is Ultraman.
>>13974613
This thread isn't even about toku, it's about something that is similar to toku.
Which is not fucking /m/ at all
No it's wrestling
Anyone else excited for the new Tiger Mask?
>>13975352
I'm excited for the fact that there will be almost guaranteed subs alone.
>>13975128
Azteckaiser. Not sure if Megaloman fits too.
What is the Lucha Underground of Toku?
It's more like toku's stage shows

I remember when the early rumors of LU were that it was going to be like Power Rangers, and some onlines thought it meant Americans talking for promos, then they flop on Psycho Circus masks and the show runs a random AAA match.
>>13975128
There's the Jushin Liger movie.
Santo and Blue Demon teaming up with Kamen Rider #1 and #2 to fight Shocker Momias would have been just about the greatest thing.
>>13975366
So Toku mixed with foreign influences?power rangers
>>13974810
Haven't you heard? People want Cena back now, instead of Roman Reigns being literally "given all the breaks".

Olympic/Amateur Green and Garbage Black?
>>13974597
Google "Hustle Wrestling"
>>13975604
>Garbage Black
so basically just New Jack?
>>13975605
Keroro worked a few matches in Hustle using a special combat-style Pekopon suit.
>>13975610
Garbage Black's weapon would just be a steel chair. Everyone else has fancy pistols and gauntlets and stuff, except Black, he's just got a steel chair, maybe with the team logo on it.
>>13974587
No but Doctor Who is.

Red pulls out a laser sword and Black whips out his trusty florescent light tube.

This desu
>>13974587
lol I totally thought you were going to say "Gundam"
>>13975366
I'm pretty sure that the Toku equivalent of Lucha Underground is Lucha Underground. Don't even try to tell me that Aero Star and Drago aren't toku heroes.

Congrats on making the most offtopic thread of the day. You do realize wrestling has its own board, right?

Fuck off shithead.
>>13979554
Great argument for why wrestling should be discussed on the robot anime board.
how about this for a rider idea? each token gives the rider the ability to master some form of martial arts, which includes different wrestling styles.
of course this won't happen because Japan Action Entertainment is nothing like the old Japan Action Club
>>13979539
I've heard that in his early days Cibernetico had some manner of cyber going on, but I've never looked into it and I wouldn't be surprised to find out it's horseshit like "Wakamoto voices Vince McMahon for the moondub"
Muta came out with a Guyver unit on the back of his head a couple of Wrestle Kingdoms ago.
>>13974587
The western equivalent of a superpowered hero TV show with special effects, you say?

>Congrats on making the most offtopic thread of the day.
Thia thread is two days old, you faggot.

Sorry, it's the most offtopic thread of that day.
And since it still exists, it remains the most offtopic thread of this day as well.
>>13974587
There were rumors about a wrestling based Sentai, but it never came to be.
digging through some of my old piles of images I pulled from futaba I found this in what was apparently a thread about favorite kaiju
