I think that Tokusatsu is just special effects shows.
I do lean more towards the transforming hero genre.
But I honestly think that any show/film that uses heavy special effects is and can be considered "Tokusatsu".
I don't really like relegating certain terms to just one country. Just feels close-minded.
Despite "Japanese animation/anime" having a distinct style, I consider it to be "animation", same as any Western show (Miraculous, SVTFOE, Gravity Falls, etc.).
In that same vein, any country can make "Tokusatsu" (i.e. Doctor Who, Power Rangers, France Five, Armor Hero, BIMA Satria Garuda, etc.). But Tokusatsu from Asia- largely Japan, but I mean Asia as a whole- has a quirkiness to it that I can't put into words.
...Not sure how much sense that makes, honestly.
To put my thoughts on Toku being "only from Japan" simply:
A product can be made by anyone. But a person's unique style can have a difference that sets it apart from the work of someone else who makes the same thing.

As for what I'm watching... hrmm. Gonna rewatch Legend Hero.
