The Red Ranger Takes on a New Adventure: A Blast from the Past
A Surprise Hit in Winter 2025
The Red Ranger Becomes an Adventurer in Another World is a Winter 2025 standout. Its unexpected charm grips audiences with flair. Initially a hit as a manga, Koyoshi Nakayoshi’s creation pulls fans into an homage-filled universe. This anime pays respects to Toei’s Super Sentai, the Tokusatsu gem that gave us Power Rangers.
In its latest twist, the anime surprises again. The newest episode introduces a character inspired by the legendary Kamen Rider. Dubbed "Amen," this masked hero transforms using a device filled with coin-driven powers. Notably, the device’s voice is instantly recognizable to Kamen Rider enthusiasts.
Introducing Amen: More Than Just a Masked Hero
Episode 7 takes Asagaki and company to a cactus-laden desert. In this barren wilderness, they encounter mysterious warriors. These protectors have their leader, Amen, who steps into the spotlight. She intends to vanquish the invaders, using a Sphinx coin to transform. This device, mirroring Kamen Rider, turns her into the masked hero Amen.
The transformation, though, is not the only intriguing aspect. Amen’s device shares elements with many from the Kamen Rider world. Fans quickly spot the voice of Mark Okita, famed from Kamen Rider Decade. That series allowed Decade to access prior Kamen Rider powers, something Amen’s device hints at.
Celebrating Decades of Tokusatsu Magic
Despite their half-century histories, Super Sentai and Kamen Rider rarely received anime adaptations. Their success rests mainly in live-action charm. Yet Red Ranger Isekai offers a delightful homage, reviving their magic in animated form.
The anime hints at adding more Tokusatsu icons. A possible sixth Ranger surfaced in earlier episodes. Fans speculate about metal or space hero tributes joining soon. This keeps audiences eager and engaged.
As The Red Ranger Becomes an Adventurer in Another World continues, it cultivates anticipation. Share your thoughts and predictions in the comments. What Tokusatsu legends do you hope will appear next?
