History Series / IronKing

* ShoutOut: Gentaro yells [[Series/KamenRider "Rider Kick!"]] while jump-kicking a Titanian in episode 20.

[[NamesTheSame Not to be confused with]] ''Literature/TheIronKing'', the first book in the ''Iron Fey'' series.

* NiceHat: Both Gentaro and Goro wear cowboy hats, although Goro's is slightly cooler since it's also his TransformationTrinket.

* HourOfPower: Like Series/{{Ultraman}}, Iron King's powers run on a time-limit with glowing jewels that indicate how much time he has left. The difference here is that Iron King's reasoning for the time-limit is that he's Hydrogen-powered, and thus requires lots of water.

* WhipSword: Gentaro's signature weapon, the Iron Belt, can be used as both a sword and a whip.

* WhatTheHellHero: While Gentaro's constant flirting with every attractive female they meet rivals [[Anime/PokemonTheSeries Brock]], at least Brock would know better than to flirt with a nun! (Although UsefulNotes/{{Japanese Christian}}s themselves are a rarity, so this is to be expected.)

In 1972, from Nippon Gendai and Senkosha, came a tokusatsu show that was somewhat unique. In response to various terrorist attacks happening throughout the Japanese countryside, the National Security Organization of the UsefulNotes/UnitedNation has sent two cowboy heroes, the playboy Gentaro Shizuka, and the bumbling comic relief Goro Kirishima. Those of you who are genre-savvy might think Gentaro would be the titular Iron King, based on his appearance and mannerisms, but it's actually Goro that transforms to fight evil.

* FirstEpisodeSpoiler: Children who watched this show for the first time were probably surprised when Gentaro and Iron King were able to be in the same scene at the same time
