The live action 1978 release of Toei’s Spider-Man followed a motorcycle racer called Takuya Yamashiro. He’s injected with the blood of Garia, the last warrior of Planet Spider, in order to defeat the Iron Cross army led by Professor Monster, who wiped out all the inhabitants of Planet Spider. The show ran for 41 episodes and also had a movie. It’s also reminiscent of Kamen Rider or Power Rangers shows where many episodes have choreographed fights scenes and giant mecha fights.
