Tokusatsu superheroes have arrived in city
Giant Ultraman installations.
Attention! Tokusatsu superheroes have arrived and assembled in Shanghai!
With the opening of the "Tamashii Nations x Heroes Station" carnival, Ultraman, Kamen Rider and Super Sentai appeared at the IMIX Park mall on Saturday. This is the first time the top three have been exhibited together.
Translating to "special effects" in Japanese, tokusatsu usually refers to live-action effects-heavy Japanese films and TV shows, somewhere between fantasy and science fiction.

Through January 3, 2024, stage shows of battles between superheroes and monsters will be presented every weekend. There will be fan meetings as well.
Don't worry if you can't make it to the shows because there's more to explore at the 1,000-square-meter exhibition area.
