The Miya suit also because a subject of much fascination for me due to how that thing frequently became so filthy and tattered looking. Wack show.

The incoherence of the plot and the repetition of stories is, in my opinion, the main problem of the Metal Hero franchise. Jaspion and the next ones aren't really that bad because of the funny characters, but in Space Sheriffs, this scenario confusion is side by side with cardboard defenders of justice not far removed from their counterparts from the 70s.I also liked how at the beginning Jaspion pretended to be a space opera, but then apparently the budget for various planets ended and he had to settle on Earth.
