"Classic"
More festive than the parent series, this spin-off unfurls a gallery of heroes with a retro-cinema look across dazzling arenas. Vivid colours, VFX effects and spectacular poses turn every brawl into a colourful show. This graphic exuberance, playful and unbridled, extends the cartoon-tokusatsu spirit of the licence.
