YMMV / Inazuman

Go To

  • Awesome Music: While the opening for Inazuman, Tatakae! Inazuman, is a fun song to listen to and has a catchy melody, the opening for Inazuman Flash, Flash! is a much more fast paced and triumphant tune that really gets you pumped for the episode ahead.
  • Complete Monster: Each Big Bad:
    • Emperor Banba is the ruler of the Neo-Human Empire who seeks to exterminate humanity under the pretext of preventing famine, when really he wants to create a Neo-Human world order with himself at the top. Kidnapping humans with psionic potential, Banba has them forcibly converted into monstrous Mutant Robots before sending them out to massacre humans, taking any humans who survive the massacre as slaves. In one instance, Banba turns Goro Watari's mother into a Mutant Robot, and kills her in front of him when he frees her. In the finale, Banba temporarily allies with Goro against the emerging Despar Army, only to backstab and try to kill him before attempting one last plan to sink Japan's archipelago.
    • Führer Geisel, the leader of the Despar Army, usurped Emperor Banba as ruler of the Neo-Human Empire because of the latter's tolerant attitudes towards mutants. Desiring the total extermination of mutants and subjugation of humanity, Geisel frequently has his forces commit bloody mass murders of humans, and in an early scheme kidnaps human athletes to hunt them for sport. The ruler of Despar City, which he populated with kidnapped humans, Geisel controls his citizens through rigid laws, including a ban on reading books, and punishes anyone who violates them with Mind Control or execution. For his final scheme, Geisel overloads the artificial sun in Despar City so it will sink Japan's archipelago, and kills his own daughter when she tries to stop him.
  • Creepy Awesome:
    • A lot of the Mutant Robots have really bizarre but memorable awesome-looking designs. Hundred-Eye Banbara especially with all his eyes.
    • Guillotine Despar has one of the scariest designs of the Robot Fighters, having a head that's a guillotine surrounded by bloody skulls, but because of unique it is and how it suits his personality as a ruthless killer, he stands out as one of the coolest monsters in the show.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: This isn't the first time Daisuke Ban has gone up against Shōzō Iizuka and Mitsuo Ando.
  • Vindicated by History: At the time it aired it was a modest success, but in the years since Inazuman has gone on to be much more popular, getting a Crossover OVA with Kikaider, making a cameo in OOO, Den-O, All Riders: Let's Go Kamen Riders alongside other recognizable Toku heroes from the era, and even appearing in Kamen Rider Fourze with a rebooted origin story.
