Red Man the Power Ranger spoof is the most obvious example but yeah not a ton of others. The live action series was a lot like a Sentai series though.

it’s Roberto the pronouncation is heard clearly. Maybe they decided to give him italian name because he was playing soccer at school

Robert was the kid’s name in the original Japanese. I’d guess he’s an exchange student.

He was was indeed. Hawk’s Eye was definitely very feminine in the manga, while Fish (seemed to?) tried to seduce Mercury.

Wait, that kid’s name was actually Robert in the original anime? I thought that was just what Cloverway decided to call him for the dub and that his real name was Shinji or Toshinori or Hikaru or something. Does the episode mention him being the son of an American living in Japan or something?

Also, my memory of the manga is pretty bad at times, but wasn’t Hawk’s Eye the one who went dressed in drag in the manga? He had some sort of shop that Makoto was lured to, didn’t he?

Then again, I can’t remember much about Tiger’s creepy child predator episode…which do you think was creepiest?
At least Hawk goes after women of legal age…
Fish is still my favorite though. Manga and anime.

Even though they were mostly after the Dream Mirrors and Pegasus…it’s still unsettling how Tiger’s Eye and especially Fish Eye target children like this. I remember Fish being particularly flirty with the kid. Stranger Danger!

From what I can see from this, Robert may be roughly 2 years older than Chibusa. He must be an English exchange student.

Naoko Takeuchi originally conceived of Sailor Moon as a shoujo version of Super Sentai so it’s not entirely surprising someone might have sneaked in a reference to it in an episode, especially given Sailor Moon and Super Sentai are made by the same studio. It’s actually more surprising we didn’t have even more of these types of references sprinkled throughout the show.
