Two is better than one (Barom One,Ultraman Ace and Kamen Rider W)


Here's my special topic regarding to duets who are best buddies forever to fight against evil forces.The first topic is the Toei series from 1972 which is called Barom One. Takeshi Kido and Kentaro Shiratori are best of friends who chosen to be Brom since birth to fight Evil creature Doruge and the possesed humans by the evil spirits.Through a radar they combined themselves into Barom.Takeshi symbolizes strength while Kentaro symbolizes intelligences came into one. 



 
Ultraman Ace is aired from 1972-1973,This is the first Duo Ultraman series between a man and a woman,but later Yuko leaves to join with Ultra Father,and Hokuto takes his responsibility being an Ultraman. Seiji Hokuto and Yuko Minami were victims of the monster attack until they awake by Ultra Brothers to protect earth against Yapool's Kaijins,then they continue to fight with the TAC headquarters to defeat them.This is like a love team turn into one.


After 37 years the concept has been revived with this 11th Heisei Kamen Rider series,Kamen Rider Double/W which is a detective motif who investigates behind the crimes involve by the Dopants and its seller.Shotaro is a Hard-Boiled or you can say Half-Boiled Detective who protect the city of Futo from the Dopants,while Philip is a genius who investigates some mysterious cases by the Dopants and Identify the person behind the crime.This series seems to be a tribute of Barom One.Shotaro is symbolizes strength and rough guy while Philip symbolizes intelligence and speed.They create a combo but only the difference was Philip came unconscious when Shotaro transformed into W all combos except from Fang/Joker when Shotaro is getting unconscious.They combined their souls through the Extreme form.

If there's any concept from Super Sentai or other heroes would be better to revive this duo team or else a trio tag team.I hope there's a man-woman combo in the next Tokusatsu series.
