Today's tokusatsu streetwear spotlight is a personal one.
It's the reversible bomber jacket used in 36 of the 47 episodes of Kamen Rider BLACK RX, and episode 7 of Juukou B-Fighter.
This is the story of how tokusatsu taught me the importance of archival fashion.

There was a period of time when Power Rangers DID make US-exclusive hero suits and armor add-ons that were visually consistent with existing designs borrowed from Super Sentai.

Tokusatsu, as a medium, has deep roots in stage theater.
And I feel live shows like these put into perspective that roll calls aren't there JUST to be dramatic "for no reason."
Functionally, it's a core opportunity for the audience to applause for their favorite character.

I would not be surprised if any NEW hero design they make, might have been directed to avoid "looking like a Power Ranger," in the sense that it can't have that stereotypical spandex hero silhouette anymore.

I feel being covered head to toe in a costume is a brilliant challenge for an actor, because your performance is limited to your physicality.
