** Mr. Titan too is a popular villain, owing to his ruthless disposition, striking visual design, and memorable CoDragons dynamic with General Shadow. Many were happy when the character was brought back in ''Girls Remix'' as [[GenderFlip Miss Titan]].

* CommonKnowledge: While it is something that can be debated on, the main reason for Tackle getting fewer fight scenes was not sexism but because her actress's asthma limited what she could do. ''Series/TheKagestar'', a Toku series produced by Toei at roughly the same time as ''Stronger'', and ''[[Series/{{Kikaider}} Kikaider 01]]'', which came out several years before ''Stronger'', both featured tough and competent {{Action Girl}}s who were able to fight on par with their male counterparts.

I haven't been able to find a source that says Tackle was hated during Stronger's run.

* MagnificentBastard: [[NobleDemon General Shadow]] is a cunning [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Majin]] warlord who more than earned his status as Stronger's top WorthyOpponent. Having joined Black Satan only so he can [[BloodKnight fight Stronger]], Shadow [[EvenEvilHasStandards doesn't care]] for the organization's underhanded tactics, even freeing children taken hostage by them. After Mr. Titan is revived, Shadow covertly sabotages several of his schemes to keep him from defeating Stronger. When the Great Leader brings in Dead Lion to replace him, Shadow deserts Black Satan and gives Stronger the information he needs to locate and destroy their HQ, seizing the remains of Black Satan for [[DragonAscendant his own]] Delza Army. As leader of Delza, Shadow keeps his subordinates focused in an EnemyCivilWar over who gets to defeat Stronger while he stays above the fray, manipulating Stronger into taking out his rivals for power. Finally displaced as leader by Marshal Machine after the loss of the Delza Majin First Team, Shadow aids Stronger in thwarting Machine's scheme to scorch all of Japan before being forced into a final confrontation with his fated rival. In his last stand, Shadow gives his own life to land a deadly mutual blow on Stronger, dying while leaving an injured Stronger at the mercy of his cohorts in Delza.

* CompleteMonster: [[BadassInANiceSuit Mr. Titan]] is the first and worst executive of Black Satan. Once a suave criminal who quickly jumped into the opportunity to join Black Satan, Titan rose through their ranks until he became one of the Great Leader's CoDragons, supervising and overseeing the Kikkaijin on the field to make sure that they are successful while being [[BadBoss cruel towards his own men]]; Titan is involved in numerous destructive operations, including but not limited to: tainting the school lunches of [[WouldHurtAChild elementary school students]] with capsules of Tetrodotoxin; [[WaterSourceTampering contaminating the water supply]] of a town with a [[PsychoSerum chemical]] that [[HatePlague induces homicidal insanity]]; and using a [[BrownNote cacophonic sound]] to make adults kill children. When Titan gets his hands on the Gamma Bugs, parasites that are capable of killing their hosts, he tests their properties on a captive and makes the man [[ForTheEvulz strangle himself to death for fun]], planning on spreading the Gamma Bugs over Tokyo to help Black Satan in controlling the city, and when that fails, Titan tries to assassinate a sheik to disrupt international relations. Recruiting Black Satan's strongest Kikkaijin to assist him in a plan to export poisoned food worldwide to kill millions and allow Japan to be invaded, Titan is killed after sacrificing a Kikkaijin in an attempt to kill Shigeru Jo. Revived by the Great Leader, Titan earns the enmity of his rival General Shadow for using dirty tactics to win, with one of his first plans after his return being mass-producing a bioweapon for Black Satan, forcing an innocent prisoner to inhale it. Defeated yet again, Titan proposes a handshake before he dies to show that he respects Jo, only to reveal that it was a [[TakingYouWithMe trick to take Jo to hell with him]].

** For what it's worth noting, the only reason Tackle ''stayed'' dead was because of the show's length. According to the producer, if ''Stronger'' had a standard run of 52 episodes, they would've brought her back - interestingly, if that was the case, this trope would still be played straight, except with a different issue fans complain about (bringing heroes who sacrificed themselves BackFromTheDead).

* SpecialEffectsFailure: Even among toku, Stronger was infamous for having a shoestring budget, with a lot of monster costume designed created by "dumpster diving" and hot-gluing parts together. Even Stronger himself wasn't immune, as his costume received a rather noticable crack on the stag horn, which could be pointed out when the costume was reused for Skyrider.

* HarsherInHindsight: Tackle's death becomes this when taking into account that her actress, Kyōko Okada, died young of a severe asthma attack. It's even harsher when you realize that Okada being asthmatic is the [[RealitySubtext reason]] why [[FauxActionGirl Tackle]] does very few action scenes. In other words, most of her fight scenes barely qualify as such because of a condition that she would ultimately die of, and her character's only real victory in a fight ended in said character's death.

The idea that all women riders dying is a wild fan theory is basically denial; no female Rider got to survive until \'\'Decade\'\' broke the rule by giving happy endings to its alternate versions of past female Riders. If saying all those onscreen deaths happened is \"Epileptic Trees,\" then there\'s this wild and crazy crackpot theory going around that the sky is blue or something.
