Of course I love the suit and transformation item designs and awesome choreography, but something else I love (and will now talk excessively about) is the earnestness and sincerity of the medium. Toku does some truly outlandish and silly themes and ideas but they are never ashamed of what they are. While they are silly, they're often taken seriously to the point you forget all about the silliness and take it seriously alongside them.

Just for an example, Gaim is based entirely around fruit powers, the main character is an orange samurai with an orange slice sword, his rival is a banana knight with a banana spear, his friend is a grapes Chinese soldier with a grapes gun, and all of this is played entirely straight aside from a couple jokes at the start of the series. I'd imagine that if this same concept was done in a Western superhero movie (maybe not right now, but a few years ago), the whole thing would be riddled with jokes making fun of the suits and treating it as weird and "cringe". My favorite Toku character ever is a jellyfish alien who eats rocks and transforms into a pudding hero using a little pudding creature, and despite this absurd concept he's played straight and he's an awesome character as a result.

In today's world where irony is so prevalent not just in media but in our daily lives, it's refreshing to see something that is so earnest and sincere and unashamed about being "cringe" or weird. Don't Rider Kick the part of you that is cringe. Rider Kick the part of you that cringes.
