The Context

Tokusatsu (特撮) is a Japanese term for live-action films or television dramas that make heavy use of special effects. "Super Sentai" is a long-running tokusatsu franchise featuring teams of superheroes, known internationally for its adaptation into the "Power Rangers" series. "Number One Sentai Gojujer" is a fictional series within this genre, as per the article.

The "Warriors Unmasked" (素顔の戦士, sugao no senshi) performances are a unique and highly anticipated aspect of tokusatsu fandom, particularly for Super Sentai. Unlike regular costumed hero shows where the actors remain hidden, these special stages feature the actual actors who portray the heroes on television appearing live on stage in their civilian, unmasked forms. This allows fans, especially children, to see and interact directly with the faces behind their favorite heroes, creating a more intimate and memorable experience. Theater G-Rosso in Tokyo is a renowned venue famous for hosting these popular tokusatsu stage shows.
