S Shin Kamen Rider: Prologue
Doctors Kazamatsuri and Onizuka are geneticists researching cures on diseases such as AIDS and cancer by performing experiments to strengthen the human body. The test subject is Shin Kazamatsuri, the motorcycle racer son of Doctor Kazamatsuri. Unknown to them, their operation is funded by a syndicate group, who plan to use this research to have the bodies of men strengthened for their own gain—they have already been experimenting in the field of cyborg soldiers, to a less-than-successful attempt. However, they did not count on Onizuka's own secret ambitions; the mad Onizuka wanted to create a new species, by fusing a grasshopper's DNA with the test subject's, in order to start a new civilization and be their god. He has tested on himself, but seems to be having greater success with Shin.
Meanwhile, a murderous creature is stalking the city, while Shin dreams of it. While he believes he is the one causing the murders, he eventually finds out Onizuka's plan and discovers that it's Onizuka who has been behind the killings. Onizuka has experimented on himself and altered his genes, making him a humanoid grasshopper; the telepathy of grasshoppers allowed him to communicate with Shin, resulting in his witnessing the murders.
The syndicate learns of Onizuka's plans and have him institutionalized. As if the syndicate were not enough, a CIA agent tracks Shin and wants him eliminated, for he doesn't know the true threat he could pose. The repulsed Shin digs to find out all he can about the experiment he foolishly volunteered to be a part of, which is now altering his body and putting him and his loved ones in danger.
If you're a fan of action-packed adventures filled with colorful characters and epic battles, then look no further than the legendary TV series, **Super Sentai**. This Japanese superhero franchise has captivated audiences since its inception in 1975, creating a rich tapestry of stories that feature teams of heroes who gain special powers to protect Earth from formidable foes. With an impressive total of **47 seasons** and nearly **2394 episodes**, Super Sentai stands as one of the longest-running television franchises in history, making it a must-watch for anyone who enjoys engaging storytelling and dynamic action.
The essence of Super Sentai lies in its unique format: each season introduces a new team of heroes who don vibrant, color-coded uniforms and utilize advanced technology or magical abilities to combat evil forces threatening the planet. From their signature weapons to their incredible martial arts skills, these heroes demonstrate bravery and teamwork as they thwart plans devised by interdimensional villains. The first installment, **Himitsu Sentai Gorenger**, set the stage for countless adventures yet to come, establishing themes that resonate throughout the franchise.
One notable aspect that makes Super Sentai so appealing is its diverse cast of characters. Over the years, fans have fallen in love with various protagonists like Akira Shinmei (played by 宮内洋) and Kenji Asuka (Yukio Itô), whose journeys take them through intense battles against monstrous foes. Notably, many actors within this series have crossed over into other popular franchises like **Kamen Rider** and **Cowboy Bebop**, showcasing their versatility while enriching both universes with compelling performances.
