Yuriko has her moments, but don't expect her to ever take down a MotW by herself. She mostly just fights the mooks. She does have some damsel moments, but it's usually her and Tachibana Tobei getting captured together. Generally speaking, she's about as badass as a 1970s female sidekick was ever going to be.

On the whole, I like Stronger, but I don't think it really kicks into high gear until the Delza Army replaces Black Satan. Before that it's solid, but not really up to par with the other classic Showa series. It's a late starter like Blade and, apparently, Drive.
