Top 5 tokusatsu of the 70s

These are my favorite tokusatsu shows from the 70s. What is your favorite tokusatsu ?

Condorman - Coming to the aid of a dragon condor and its unhatched egg, Ishin Mitsuya is killed, but is brought back to life when the egg hatches and the the baby merges with his body. Although he gains the power to transform into Condorman from this, he loses all memory of his life before the accident.

Inazuman F - Inazuman is, in reality, young college student Goro Watari (渡 五郎 Watari Gorō?), a mutant. He lost his mother as a child and had other dark moments in his childhood (he had a childhood girlfriend named Teresa who was taken away by an American soldier during the US occupation of Japan). But when the Neo-Human Empire (新人類帝国 Shinjinrui Teikoku?) begins its attacks on mankind with its Fantom Army foot soldiers and mutated monsters, he puts his psionic powers to the test

Fireman - Fireman (ファイヤーマン Faiyāman?), known as Magma Man in some markets, is a Japanese tokusatsu television series about a superhero, the title character, who fights kaiju and other villains. Produced by Tsuburaya Productions, the show was broadcast on Nippon Television from January 7 to July 31, 1973, with a total of 30 episodes. This was also one of several shows Tsuburaya did to celebrate the company's 10th Anniversary (the other two being Ultraman Taro and Jumborg Ace).

Chojin Bibyun - Choujin Bibyun (超神ビビューン Chojin Bibyun?) is a classic tokusatsu series created by Shotaro Ishinomori and Toei. The series consists of 36 episodes which is a joint production of NET (now TV Asahi), and aired in Japan starting on July 6, 1976 until March 29, 1977 This series is also a sequel of Akumaizer 3.

Azteckaiser - Pro-Wres no Hoshi Aztecaser (プロレスの星 アステカイザー Puroresu no Hoshi Asutekaizā?, officially romanized as Aztecaser) also known as Pro-Wrestling Star Aztekaiser is a Japanese pro-wrestling-themed tokusatsu/anime superhero television series produced by Tsuburaya Productions, and created by Go Nagai and Ken Ishikawa. Nagai and Ishikawa created three manga series, simply named Aztecaser (アステカイザー Asutekaizā?), published in different magazines by Shogakukan. None of them are related between them or the TV show. They were compiled in a single tankōbon in 1978 (Futabasha), 1986 (Asahi Sonorama) and 2001 (Futabasha).

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!

[zxcorp-x]

I think that these are amazing Inazuman was the most iconic hero in this list 😁

[adfl]

Didn't know about some of these. I'll definitely need to check some of these out.

[Jolar]

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!

I wish there were more episodes of Condorman online to be seen.

[gamermakerhunter]

i though there will be common hero like super sentai, kamen rider, etc but i wrong, nice upload 👍

[philipvalenzuela]

Faiyaman (Magmaman when aired on the phils on the 90's) was the only thing ive watched in this collection.. cool though

[hilarioph]

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

[sarahpacheco]

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.

Gotta love Stupid Awesome Japanese Heroes! ;3

[Isaac-ghku]

These Riku should be on Shout Factory, or any competent companies of entertainment.

[revivesyourgolder]

The only show that i reconized was the faiyaman one also thanks for the Alien Virenus fight lmao

[Mihawk]

Lol, that background music of condorman sounds like mocking the hero .

[hilarioph]

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

[steelgon]

What was the monster name in the asteckaiser part

[GFTheToeiAndTsuburayaFanGN]

Condorman is Japanese Superhero Show from 1975 like Goranger Akumaizer 3 and Kamen Rider Stronger

[Isaac-ghku]

Didn't know that Azteckaizer mixes both live-action and anime.

[venomdust]

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

[WENDERDIASROCHA-lvpj]

also skull man too but it's from 2007 so I think it's next time

[zxcorp-x]

But where is kamen rider, ultraman and goranger 😮
