It's to his credit if he's trying to help someone and understandable if he kills the villain of the week while trying to prevent the death of an innocent, but it still runs into anti-hero territory. Then again, Ishinomori always did kind of straddle that line (looking at you here, Skull Man).

Well, in heroic tokusatsu, when putting a ban on killing people, the question invariably arises: ?Who should be considered people?? ?Why is it possible to kill a kaijin, but not a human?? Of course, W, Fourze and some Sentai avoid killing, but still these are rather exceptions. In fact, in my subjective opinion, Janperson handled this best. He destroyed robots because they can be restored if the memory chip is not damaged. And he fought with human criminals much more delicately.
