PR in general has alot of good lessons for kids. Some simple, some a bit more.

I think the one that stands out to me most is the moral/final moments in episode 12 of Zeo, "Instrument of Destruction."

The entire time Skull is afraid of what his best friend will think of him, should Bulk discover that he's not only good at playing the piano, but that Skull really actually enjoys doing it as well(gotta keep your reputation as one of tough guys, afterall).

And at the end it turns out that Bulk was not only impressed, but fully supports and embraces Skull. Ontop of being a great moment for the Duo, it gives a timeless lesson; Your real friends will fully support who you are, hobbies and interests included.

One of the things that I can think of was in Go-Busters where Jin/BeetBuster states that he makes J to be quirky because he wanted J to have a flaw, as he sees that perfection is boring, having flaws makes things more interesting.

So instead I'll narrow it down to this, which might just be the single most influential thing I've ever heard in a tokusatsu series. It's definitely the thing that most stuck with me from Go-Busters, at least. It's an idea that I don't remember thinking too much on at first, but as the series moves on from that point, and it becomes apparent that's really the central theme of the entire story, it became something I thought on a lot.

It's sort of a weird moral lesson on the surface, right? Not the kind of thing you hear as often as a speech about justice or courage or whatever other usual fare. To a lot of people, it might even seem like an excuse for mediocrity. It's an odd little line that I'd never heard before watching Go-Busters, and that's exactly why I'm eternally grateful to that show for thinking to say it.

This will inevitably sound pretentious, but I honestly believe there's a profound truth to that simple notion. It speaks to this idea that it's more important to embrace the beauty of the things that make us all unique, rather than chasing after some genericized ideal self. It's about appreciating even things that seem mundane or uninteresting. Something about that sentiment was very touching to me, and I've kept it close to my heart ever since.

Sento had a moral to what he was doing; a statement that guided him and made him a hero — “It’s not justice if you’re expecting a reward.” It’s the usual selflessness stuff; and one that works extremely well with Sento.

... but while Banjo ends up agreeing with it? He’s also very much of the opinion that Sento, amazing as he is, absolutely deserves to be praised and deserves a good life.

And both of these statements are correct and co-exist.


I love that so much.
