Samurai Flamenco Episodes 1-5 Kick-Ass

The first episode made the series seem really dark, like a darker version of Matthew Vaughn's Kick-Ass, Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins, and James Gunn's Super with Tokusatsu: it incorporates elements of the lackluster untrained with the realistic reasons of why would someone become a superhero in this time. After all, why else do it? No one else has yet?
The main character seems to have split personality disorder and seems to be seeing things, as well as has some sort of ignorance of things, convincing himself of certain things that are untrue that truly make him a deep character.

The second episode is a commentary on crime, Japanese umbrella "lending," the modelling business and Millennials.

The third episode has Samurai Flamenco find his nemesis in a more deadly psychotic Samurai Fakemenco.

The fourth episode essentially introduces the Hit Girl of their team, while displaying Red Axe as an athletic person who is too busy worrying about fame and acting over the safety of Samurai Flamenco. It also begins the arc of how egotistical, divisive and uncaring celebrities have become in this world, if not a commentary of the real world.

The fifth episode introduces the police as PR people, while bringing about the dark side of fighting crime: getting hurt and adjusting with your normal life, especially if it happens to be Tokusatsu!
It rains on a day when all the main characters are sad. Flamenco II lost his parents.
