It's really simple.

It's essentially a superhero who needs to transform in order to be well... superhero. Nothing more or less. Captain Marvel is an apt example - kid says a word and transforms. Sometimes characters like Wonder Woman who normally didn't have that gain that due to an adaptation.

Why is He-Man excluded that I saw his entry with percentage tags? Why are power up forms included there like Bleach? Superheroics isn't "vague" in Japan - it has live action and anime concepts so why are people mistaking entries like Bleach in it? Why is the trope having difficulty in that regard?

Also, needs help being cleaned. We got examples being listed without context (like Sailor Moon).

And this is my personal peeve, but people should really stop thinking the word "henshin" is special. It's just a verb in Japan. It's not something sacred.

He-Man is commented out as a ZCE. If Sailor Moon lacks context it should be as well.

Complaining about not liking the name though because it's Japanese is not a reason to rename. Declining to open.

Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. Dick
