Toei Spider-Man Episode 39: The World's Greatest Martial Arts Tournament
Live watch/reaction can be downloaded
HERE.
Detective Tachibana is hands down the coolest character in this version of
Spider-Man
.
Dude is played by the same actor who played Kamen Rider V3, his backstory is a really engaging and sympathetic one, and he's a literal Cowboy Cop with a machine gun guitar! There's a reason he's one of the few side characters to show up twice.
39 is the second episode that Tachibana takes part in, and it's every bit as fun as the first. And yeah, Tachibana is a big part of that, but like most episodes of
Toei Spider-Man
, there's so much that goes into this that just makes for a great time watching it. Given the title, the most obvious being the really fun action scenes during the tournament.
But the thing that stands out to me most, just like many an episode of the show, is the surprisingly human element that goes into the entire story. The character intrigue with Tachibana and his son, Takuya's' dedication to keeping the lives of families together after what he's been through, and the active attempts at breaking the mind control placed by the Iron Cross Army rather than just simply beating up Samurai Cop.
Oh, yeah, should probably mention that too. In this universe, if you're an Ace Cop, you get your own unique motif that makes you like 30 times more badass. Cowboy Cop, Samurai Cop, you name it! It's the sort of silly element that only serves to enhance just how fun this show is to watch in general alongside all of the more dramatic elements in play, and man do I love every second of it. Add on stuff like the Nazi Spider and Spider-Man declaring he's the best martial artist in the world despite him losing, and this is just a fun time all around.
Supaidahman
is so much more than just the meme GIFs circulating the internet, and I love watching it every time.
Up next: I plan to get into the holiday spirit with one of my favorite Christmas specials! It's the sort of Toku Christmas one can only dream of.
