She does have some pretty great moments, but don't go into Stronger expecting progressive gender roles.

So in other words, her being able to go into battle as Tackle is more or less just a gimmick to make her stand out among the other showa era female leads? A series long version of, say, Abare Pink from Abaranger and the like?
