| Moonlight Mask | comment |
Moonlight Mask (translated from Gekko Kamen) was Japan's first tokusatsu Spy Fiction Cop Show series from 1958note Supergiant (redubbed as Starman) is actually the first toku show. Though Moonlight Mask has the first masked toku hero.. It was very popular with kids, but was cancelled due to a kid dying trying to imitate the titular character's stunts. It was later adapted into an anime in the 70s (aka El Capitán Centella in its Latino Spanish dub version, which aired in the U.S. on Univision) and again in the 90s.The original tokusatsu series was followed by Spiritual Successors, Seven Color Mask and Messenger of Allah.Definitely not to be confused with Kekko Kamen (although the latter was named in parody of the former). | |

| Moonlight Mask / int_313d7228 | comment |
Previously on…: This being a serial, there are recaps from time to time. #3 for one, repeats the shocking moment which ended the previous episode, albeit using a different take. Things may have gotten a bit out of hand when the episodes get longer; the last three-odd minutes of #95 are repeated as the opening of the next episode. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness: To the tokusatsu series that would follow: The earlier installments of Moonlight Mask itself were just short of 7 minutes long. Later episodes ran for about 26, just a bit longer than typical toku shows. That the hero is a Badass Normal who does not transform. | |

Arc Villain: The show goes through a few, the first and most prolific being Skull Mask, followed by Satan's Clawnote Satan no Tsume. Assassin X then serves in this capacity for the Mammoth Kong arc, using the beast as a weapon. He is followed by the Ghost Party, and then another Skull Mask. | |
