YMMV / Tokkei Winspector

Go To

  • Awesome Music: The opening music is unrelenting in its kickassery.
  • Complete Monster:
    • "The Runaway Baby" & "Fly into the Sky of Hope": Professor Onikichi Kuroda was the first and last foe faced by the Winspector team, and undoubtedly one of the worst. Driven by Envy against his former colleague Professor Takazawa, Kuroda programs his R24 robot to kidnap Takazawa's infant granddaughter and hijack a gas tanker before driving it into his house, killing his whole family. After being arrested by Winspector, Kuroda vowed revenge and broke out one year later, staging a warehouse fire to lure Ryoma into a trap. When that doesn't work, Kuroda kidnaps Ryoma's little sister and activates a device that causes every civilian in radius to go on a feral rampage until their brain melts, in the name of causing as much destruction as possible to get his revenge.
    • "The Star Summoning 100-Year-Old Beauty": Carla, real name Miyuki Fukano, is an immortal mystic who leads the Secret Society Q, and who obtained her powers by murdering a peaceful mountain sage. Believing the world to be overpopulated, Carla sought to pull a meteor to Earth that would kill off most of humanity with its impact, leaving herself and her followers as the only survivors. To accomplish this, Carla kidnapped five children all born on the same birth date and performed a ritual to drain their life forces and add them to hers, all to enact her destructive plans.
  • Germans Love David Hasselhoff: This series is fondly remembered in Brazil, France, Germany and Italy.
  • Special Effects Failure: The animatronic bird that gets used in a few episodes looks well-designed...except for the fact that it doesn't flap its wings.
  • Woolseyism: Bikel speaks with a Nagoya accent, so when Sailor Otaku subbed the show, he decided to adapt it into a New Jersey one to convey a similar effect.
