The true magic of tokusatsu and anime lies in crafting heroes who feel real despite their extraordinary circumstances. Take Kamen Rider Tendou's arrogance or Shinji Ikari's anxiety - these human traits ground their epic battles.

What makes these characters stick isn't their powers, but their struggles. A magical girl dealing with homework between saving the world, or a masked hero juggling family life with monster fights. These moments of humanity amid the fantastic create the perfect bridge between viewer and hero.
