* AmusingInjuries: Poor Slugger Snowcrab ends up being a demonstration of Green Hawk's weaponry by taking a shot for each eye without any effort on Green Hawk's part.



* ExpressiveMask: To an extreme degree. Not only are the masked heroes capable of expressing with their eyes, they're capable of expressing with the mask in ways that should be impossible even with their faces. Of course for Green Hawk and Blue Shark, actually expressing without their helmets would expose their identities.



* GiantEqualsInvincible: A hippo Chimeraman in #3 is a giant in comparison to the other characters and he's just as strong and tough. While Red Tiger and Green Hawk can barely make a dent, when Blue Shark shows up, she cuts through it like butter.



* ObfuscatingStupidity: Green Hawk's described as this in his [[http://redbelt.smackjeeves.com/comics/2309384/rb2-pg-ex/ profile]], and it's not just an InformedTrait either; when he learns that his gun can hurt the MonsterOfTheWeek, he strikes up a friendly conversation with him [[CombatPragmatist and shoots him in the eye.]]

''[[http://redbelt.smackjeeves.com/comics/2147736/rb-cover/ Red Belt]]'' is a webcomic drawn and written by James Finlay, featuring superheroes, action, and a whole lot of references to Tokusatsu in every other page.

In the futuristic Neon City, a smartphone app called "Unleash the Beast" can allow anyone who downloads it to transform into an animalistic monster known as a Chimeraman, giving them superhuman abilities and letting them do what they will. Combatting them is the superheroine Alexis Reyes, who can transform into Red Tiger, and take their abilities upon defeating them. However, she's not alone in her efforts, accompanied by the cocky and talkative sniper, Green Hawk, who's simply in it to snag the abilities of the Chimeramen, and the silent and serious blade wielder Blue Shark, who's not willing to talk anytime soon.

The comic updates with a page once a week, feauturing hyper-stylized art to compliment the insane tokusatsu-style action.

%% '''''Red Belt'' contains examples of:'''

* AnimalThemedSuperBeing: Both the heroes and the Chimeramen.
* AntiHero: Green Hawk may be stopping the Chimeramen, but he's only in it for all the power-ups he's able to snag.
* GenkiGirl: DJ Kiwami, the radio hostess of Neon City and the narrator for the story.
* HenshinHero: What else from a love letter to all Tokusatsu?
* ReferenceOverdosed: Many, many, ''many'' references to Tokusatsu from Franchise/SuperSentai to the Franchise/UltraSeries.
* TransformationTrinket: As expected from a comic homaging Tokusatsu, though so far, only the heroine's has been confirmed as a smartphone from where she accesses her powers.
