Tanaka is very soft and just fuelled purely on having poor timing for everything ever. I quite like the unlucky hero trope, especially when it's played to a character who's just used to it. It's especially nice how it showcases his poor timing through an inability to say what he really means when it's important. I feel it was a very grounded way to show it that makes for a relatable character.
KitaQman has terrorised everyone on twitter in both Japanese and English, forcing us to look at his food pictures. I'll be real, the marketing has worked on me, he is terrifying and charismatic. Within the show itself though, I felt it was nice to have a hero that both didn't like fighting so typically just wouldn't, but was a hero in other ways. He's there as moral support for the people of Fukuoka. He encourages people and humanises heroes for them. By doing so, you make being a hero something more achievable to the people and I would like them to expand on that in future seasons to show the influence he has.
Yamashiron are so cute. I'm a bit sad we spent so much time with Blueron and Orangeron on silent mode, but Redron is cute even on their own. They're such a good mascot and every time they're just compelled to give villains their business card is so cute. Yamashiron ultimately is the very standard take on teamwork and not letting anyone in a team be treated as a burden. It's still good to just revisit the idea that a team only works if you treat each other as equally valuable.
El Brave is every short person in existence. Climbs everything and wrestles everything. Strangely, while the concept of recognising your weaknesses and recognising the weaknesses of your peers to form a strong team, isn't a new thing, it was this strange experience of "oh suddenly I know how to talk about teamwork in job interviews."
El Brave is short though, and that's enough to win me over on a character.
Fukuokalibur is very polite and a very good boy. I do like the idea of taking pride in who you once were even if they weren't as good as you are now. Rather than be embarrassed by what you were, to look on it with nostalgia and think how far you've come. It's a mentality I've tried to take over the years because it's probably one of the best ways to improve your image of yourself.
Ohgaman has yet to send me a medical book and quite frankly I'm taking it personally at this point. I don't currently have access to a Japanese pharmacy, Ohgaman, please just send me one.
We didn't get to see as much of Ohgaman but he was so funny old hero that I loved when we did see him.
