LOOK. LOOK AT THIS BADASS MOTHERFUCKER.
It's fucking Space Sheriff Gavan. He's the first fucking Metal Hero and the first fucking Space Sheriff. Look at his fucking design. This show was made in fucking 1982 and his design was ahead of it's goddamn time.
Bastard moves so fast that the fucking camera can't keep up with him. Yes, he throws down so hard that the camera is amazed at his badassness. His theme song even makes you feel like a GODDAMN BADASS.
You know how later Space Sheriffs had ships that turn into robots? His ship turns into a fucking DRAGON. A SENTIENT DRAGON. You know how later Space Sheriffs had guns? He shoots TWO, not one, but TWO fucking types of lazers from his goddamn HANDS. He has literally a Street Figher moves list. Dimension Bomber, Gavan Punch, Gavan Kick, Spiral Kick, yes TWO types of kicks.
You know how he gets sent to Makuu Space and the BEM Monsters and Double Monsters get powered up? Gavan's like "FUCK THAT, I'LL KICK THEIR ASSES ANYWAY".
He also shows up years later, and beats the shit out of his successor. He was about 60 fucking years old and he completely WRECKED a goddamn 20 year old.
So yeah, SPACE SHERIFF FUCKING GAVAN.

agree, Gavan is pretty good
I don't even know why people bother watching shit rider and faggot sentai instead of metal heroes

Now now, all toku have their good points and bad points.

>His theme song even makes you feel like a GODDAMN BADASS.
You forgot to mention that his theme song made the singer himself realise how great hero songs are.

I got mad respect for Juspion.

Well, you look at those lyrics and tell me you can't get motivated as all fuck.
>"Aren't you a man?!"
>"What is youth?! It's about not turning back!"
>"Say goodbye to tears! Bring in your courage!"
>>14280330
Having more than 1/10 of the franchise fully subbed kinda helps.
>>14280330
Subs. Until very recently there were none.
I preferFIYAHand the gang myself
>>14280287
>So yeah, SPACE SHERIFF FUCKING GAVAN.
He also cries like a little bitch when his whore of a dad dies in jail.
>>14280287
I love literally everything about Gavan's design but the fact that there's nothing on the backs of his legs kills it for me, like you have all this cool space armor and then it's nothing but black spandex from the ass down.
>>14280734
Eh, that's just a Space Sheriff thing.
OUTTA THE WAY
JAPAN FUCKING SHIT

Why not just call that loser Lava Faggot Gaven?
>>14282558
Keiji is probably closer to "Officer" or "Police Detective" in Japan. It's the police term you'd call an investigating police officer (the kinds who wear suits) as opposed to a beat cop (who wear police blues).

Metal heroes are truly the pinnacle of power armor designs. Time has come and gone but nothing has reached the level of the metal heroes suits. I really have to wonder why and how did the japs manage to do this?
>>14283167
Modern costumed hero designs is garbage. The only good thing worthy of mention is Iron Man and his bajillion suits.
Yeah, Gavan's design is rad... except for how he looks from behind.
I was frankly surprised and disappointed that New Generation Gavan (and the other NG Space Sheriffs) didn't fix this.
>>14283713
Of course, Kamen Rider Amazon Omega has the same problem. Drives me nuts, arrrrgh!
>>14283128

Technically, his name is Mad Gallan -- no "t".

Oh pooh, there have been tons of good designs over the years.
>>14283726
Do you think MBE will change that for the batch? They already changed Satan Gorth to Satan Goth.
>>14283823
I sure hope so.
>>14284242
>No.666
They knew.
>>14283726
>>14284242
Well fuck. I thought the "t" was just supposed to be silent.
>>14283737
The only thing I can think of is Alternative.
>>14280465
Is that thing he did with his sword a common trope? I've only seen it before in Kiva.
>>14285106
I thought the laser sword charging was a staple of Metal Heroes.
>>14283193
Looks like an action figure butt.
>>14280330
Subs, and the fact that Rider and Sentai still release new material while Metal Heroes have been dead for decades.
Even the comeback at the franchise anniversary didn't work.
>>14286557
>Even the comeback at the franchise anniversary didn't work.
I'm still sad.
>>14286565
At least the Gokaiger vs Gavan movie was good.
>>14286565
The Next Generation trilogy wasn't anything special. The best was Gavan's and the rest was so-so. Shaider was a missed opportunity. For a movie about Shaider, there was too much of Tammy.

>Shaider was a missed opportunity. For a movie about Shaider, there was too much of Tammy.
The original Shaider has a fame in Japan about his partner standing out more than himself, I guess they wanted to homage/reference that.

Plus based MFC are subbing the original.
