    I’ve been rewatching one of my favorite series, Tekkaman Blade, which shares some DNA with Tenchi Universe. Also, it is a rebooted version of the Tatsunoko superhero series Tekkaman: the Space Knight. At episode 22, the audience finally sees the first female Tekkaman, Rapier, in action. Here is her transformation sequence, which is not much different than her older brother’s.

    Although Tekkaman Blade is a blatantly shonen series, does Tekkaman Rapier count as a “magical girl”? <.<
