TOEI, unlike Tsubaraya, ARE JUST INCREDIBLY DUMB TOWARDS ANY *POTENTIAL * Western and worldwide audiences, as a fan, it really is heartbreaking, but hey ULTRAMAN GIVES A DAMN

This is incorrect. There is no all-encompassing streaming services for toku or even just Toei shows in Japan. You either own the disc media or bought the shows digitally (and of course illegal streaming and downloads still exist there).
This is why it's kind of a big deal when shows get re-aired.

For real? Talk about incompetence this kinda is infuriating now that I think about it. Stuff like this really makes me think that either they really don't care, they are incompetent, or the way they set up their business is just overtly complicated.

It's almost as if Toei truly has no clue that these shows among others have an actual fanbase outside of Japan.

Maybe they’ve licensed the shows and had to take them down? Am I being deliriously optimistic???
I’m not sure where I heard it (probably somewhere on social media), but I think TTW is in part a sales tool for distributing screeners to potential international licensees. Gavan and Winspector are two of the most obvious contenders for potential US licensing. It’s not completely out of the realm of possibility that someone like Discotek licensed the rights and Toei blocked the series in North America in advance of a public announcement.

Huh? They re-air toku in Japan? Even when there's no merchandise being pumped out for that show anymore?
