Or we can have Junji "the guy behind that creepy landshark I made into a signature" Ito do a Sentai series.

I mean, it's not like he's COMPLETLEY foreign to slice-of-life and other non body horror despair stories. He made this after all.



He is foreign to not making things look creepy though.

Oh, of course. Plenty of writers create stories that you wouldn't expect.
I'm just going by what I know of the guy

I know but.... Just look at the cover. For context, it's like if Azumanga Daioh volumes made reference to the fact they were by a guy who wrote a hentai manga, which he did.

THE CONTENT OF THE BOOK IN QUESTION DOES NOT MESH WITH THE CROSS-SELL IN THE SLIGHTEST.

If someone only likes Kamen Rider and Super Sentai, would they still be view as Toku fans? I see people on Facebook telling other fans that they are not real Toku fans if they only like Kamen Rider and Super Sentai.

Ah yes, the "You’re not really a fan because…" asshats. Ignore them, they exist in every fandom.

You like Rider? You’re a Tokusatsu fan. Same with Sentai, Ultraman or whatever, you’re not measured by how much or different stuff you watched. Enjoying what you like and seeking more is all it takes.

Is Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future considered part of the "Western-Toku" group the same as Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters from Beverly Hills or Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad and the like?

[Switchblade]

Probably, but it’s kind of a weird case because it predates Power Rangers by several years.

[Matrixbeast]

I don't see why it wouldn't be considered as such.

If this site considers Pacific Rim to be Toku, won't movies like Cloverfield and Rampage be consider to be Toku as well?

I could see that, but I can also see why we don't really talk about them too.
