allegory for fascists and their disregard for life. That and some truly standout episodes from the latter half - particularly the two dealing with Geisel City and Red Queen: The Ballad of Assassination - give Flash the slight edge over Inazuman's first half for me.

Like when he'd go on to play Reider in Sharivan, he makes the character a truly creepy, cold and calculated presence, even when he spends most of the show in the shadows. Even more than Kamen Rider's villains from the same time, I feel, Despar serve as a really strong (2/)

Finished Inazuman Flash - a worthy successor to Inazuman. The main thing that stands out to me about Flash compared to its predecessor is the villains. It helps that Geisel is played by Mitsuo Ando, a great actor, and not a suit. (1/?)
