Countless scenes and interviews I've seen of actors, writers, stuntmen and all the rest of the creative team leaving the show with tears and hugs and a sense of satisfaction and hope for what they've achieved.

I haven't even seen Kiramager (I probably should), but the supportive posts from other Sentai actors when Rio Komiya caught Covid were really heartwarming to read, and something about how they were talking in-character and talking to Komiya as if he was Kiramai Red made me realize "wow, these people must really love being Sentai." Like they're not just doing it to make money or inflate their own egos (tho I'm sure there are toku actors like that too), they genuinely want to bring people hope.
