Love After World Domination

Love After World Domination takes the classic tropes of sentai hero teams and turns them into a soft-hearted comedy. Fudo and Desumi stand on opposite sides of a traditional conflict, representing the Gelato 5 heroes and the villainous Gekko society. Their relationship develops not through typical romantic scenarios, but through the absurdity of hiding a budding romance behind the backdrop of constant, high-stakes battle.

The series finds its humor in the juxtaposition of giant explosions and shy, inexperienced dating jitters. Yusuke Kobayashi delivers a performance that highlights how difficult it is to balance a public persona as a fearless leader with the awkward reality of a first relationship. It functions as a parody of the shounen genre that maintains a focus on the characters despite the ridiculous premise of superheroes and villains trying to act like a normal teenage couple.
