Recently learned of the '70s series "Magic Teacher"... and the unfortunate loss of its star at the hands of another Tokusatsu character actor!

What's the story behind this tragedy?

Hello all.

First time poster, but I decided to post something here as I'm trying to figure out what series this picture I found on Twitter is from. Google Image Search hasn't been helping me, so I decided to ask here. Any responses how I find where this series from would be swell. Thanks.

No idea, but I'm getting commercial vibes from it.

This isn't from a porn parody, is it?

^^ I have no idea. I sure hope not.

That's something I haven't considered. Thanks for the response.

I think this is either something unofficial and amateur, or, as suggested above, advertising.

Well, the subtitle is Chinese (or one of the dialects), if that helps.

And that actually leads well into a question I have....

It seems like most Tokusatsu shows are most inspired my Kamen Rider or Ultraman. But which ones are the most like Sentai? How many shows have color-coded teams of heroes and a mech? I see a lot of Chinese shows that are similar in format, like the Battle Strike Team series, but what else? (btw where can I find subs for that? Anybody know?)

I watched the first Battle Strike Team show a while back with the crummy official subs on Youtube, but as far as I could tell no fansubber had ever bothered with the others. It really makes you wonder how much non-Japanese tokusatsu us English speaking fans only know from raws/pictures or are just completely unaware of.
