YMMV / The Kagestar

• Complete Monster: Doctor Satan is a former Nazi scientist who leads the Satan Empire, and is the Arch-Enemy of Kagestar and Bellestar. To conquer the world, Doctor Satan sends his agents, many of whom are civilians he forcibly remodeled into monsters, to spread terror and chaos across Tokyo. His worst schemes include converting innocent people into "human puppets" for his doll museum; brainwashing children to become Child Soldiers for his army; orchestrating gas attacks that leave people blinded and in intense pain; and spreading a disease that turns people into ravenous berserkers who bite others to spread the infection. While Kagestar's early foes were mostly petty criminals, Doctor Satan's plans stand out for how much more wide-reaching and destructive they are.
• Pop-Cultural Osmosis: If you're a western fan of the series, you're most likely to be familiar with it through Kagestar being the inspiration for Mojo Jojo's helmet.
• Retroactive Recognition: Yousuke Naka appears as the Starter Villain in the first episode, right before going on to play major villains in both Kamen Rider: Skyrider and Dai Sentai Goggle Five.
