every post-show piece of media that has leo is like "the incredible martial artist who trained under ultraseven!! master leo can teach us incredible techniques and is why zero is able to come so far" and then the actual show is like this
Do I want to try, on any level, to analyze this show?
Like. Like Ultraman Leo. You want me to talk about the quality and the themes and the core essence of Ultraman Leo?
I mean sure the sun that is setting is me and the sun that rises in the morning is you and all that but mostly this show is just toxic masculinity yaoi heaven. This show is fucking insane. It really was never the same once Dan left the show and his giving the worst advice in the world while hitting Gen with his cane and showering him with white [REDACTED] and running him over in a jeep and then flipping a ruler back and forth it's just, like. Once I was without that the show was just never the same. This is a terrible awful beautiful show about one man shouting TAICHOU!! YAMERO!!!!! and the other man shouting back about how men have to be strong because strong men are strong. & killing him.
I've got nothing. The start of the show was peak driving-me-fucking-nuts material and to a degree it never slowed down. This was truly a show of some kind. This was the most normal thing I've ever seen. Watching JAKQ gave me some kind of resistance in that it didn't instantly kill me at least. Watch this show if you feel like you have nothing left to lose
