Okay, good to know I'm not crazy then. I thought for a second that maybe I just didn't notice a sudden abundance of kid-centric plots because after watching Ultraman Taro, no show will ever seem too overloaded on kid-centric plots to me again.

The funny thing is, Noboru Sugimura was of course famous for his work as main writer on a string of excellent 90's Sentai shows, including Zyuranger, which I've consistently heard described that same way; that the heroes are often secondary to some kid of the week. But, at least as far as his work on BLACK is concerned, most of the episodes he wrote are the super plot heavy ones revolving around Shadow Moon, an antagonist who inherently shifts the focus directly onto Koutarou whenever he takes an active role in the plots.

And Shadow Moon is freakin' great, of course. I think those boots alone are one of the most genius bits of costume design in all of tokusatsu, for one. To be honest, the Golgom priests never did much for me, so I definitely welcomed a new main bad guy with open arms.
