[edit] Cleanup / Sailor Moon

This article has a lot of redundancy and is not very well organized. Also, is it necessary people keep adding excessive detail about the Sailor Moon henshin devices? Perhaps a link to the Sailor Moon pages would be more appropriate? Strange to focus so much on the finer details of Sailor Moon when Kamen Rider Belts and the other various devices are not listed.

[edit] Henshin & impact on western culture

How about a mention of henshin and its impact on western culture, mainly by the imported and re-edited Super Sentai series known as the Power Rangers. WilliRennen 15.14 1 Mar 2006 (utc)

Transformation sequences have been a part of the Western world since the 40's. Many super heroes used transformation as part of their alter-egos, such as Captain Marvel, Wonder Woman, Mary Marvel, Captain Marvel Jr., Robby Reed, etc.. I don't really see how it could impact something that already existed, myself. --Amibite 22:26, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bad Writing

This article needs to sound more like...an encyclopedia entry... urutapu 01:44, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

I made a couple changes & will read through it again later to see what else needs to get fixed. Cheyinka 10:03, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

You did a good job. Zghost 12:44, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] what does 'kawaru wa yo' mean

It isn't explained in the article how that's significant and different from the other sayings, nor does it seem to be easy to find out. I did both a google search and an alta vista search. Edit: A friend of mine did try each word individually and the only combination from the results that made much sense was "Change for world peace".

Agreed. I'm studying Japanese, but I'm not fluent enough to understand whatever subtlety is lying within these words. Someone needs to explain this. -- J44xm 13:07, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Big O call

As a related issue, should we mention the watch call, where he yells "Big O!" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.69.118.1 (talk) 00:15, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

How is that a Henshin? No transformation actually takes place. --Farix (Talk) 00:41, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] List

I've removed the list. It didn't particularly serve a purpose and a list of all anime or manga series with a henshin sequence is rather pointless. --Farix (Talk) 00:41, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Excuse me?

The beginning says "Japanese superheroes, unlike Western ones, do not have their superpowers all the time".

That's kinda true, but there's plenty of Western superheroes that don't have them all the time. And I may be imagining this but it's almost saying that having superpowers all of the time is bad and somehow inferior. —Preceding unsigned comment added by CN Guy (talk • contribs) 01:22, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
