Episode 3 of the live-action drama Wingman aired on TV Tokyo, debuting the anticipated Garder Silhouette form, sparking excitement among fans online. The new form, referred to as a “transformation,” has viewers saying it’s “incredibly cool” and praising the show’s modern twist on classic hero aesthetics.

What is Wingman About?

The original Wingman (1983–1985) tells the story of Kenta Hirono, a high school sophomore and tokusatsu (special effects hero) enthusiast. Kenta, played by Maito Fujioka in the drama, creates his own superhero called "Wingman" and even crafts the suit and weapons. His dream of becoming a hero comes true when he obtains the mysterious "Dream Note," allowing him to transform into Wingman for five minutes. The series follows his journey alongside Aoi (Konatsu Kato), a mysterious girl from the alternate world of Podrimus, who arrives on Earth.

Episode 3 Highlights: Kenta Transforms to Save Friends

In this episode, Kenta (Maito Fujioka) faces a new threat when Keetacler, the evil emperor’s right-hand, attacks from an alternate dimension. Under Keetacler’s influence, Kenta’s classmates turn violent, fighting one another uncontrollably. To save them, Kenta transforms into the hero “Wingman” and, alongside Aoi (Konatsu Kato), takes on Keetacler and Seedman Rodomus within the school. Meanwhile, classmate Kumiko Fuzawa (Youi Kata) captures some of the action on her smartphone, adding a unique twist to the story.

When the Garder Silhouette form appeared, fans took to social media with comments like, “Garder Silhouette looks amazing!” and “This new form feels so contemporary, perfectly capturing today’s hero style.”
