This is a very interesting Toho TV series.  I have always wanted to see it subtitled!

Villain(s) of the Week- Zensei Majin(前世魔人)

From Villains Wiki- The Kaijin that appeared in the 1973 tokusatsu, Diamond Eye. They’re called Zensei Majin(前世魔人 Zensei majin) and are a clan of demons who nest in the evil spirit world. Almost all of them have the ability to disguise themselves as human beings while performing crimes in the human world in an attempt to conquer all of Asia. In the first seven episodes, Diamond Eye faced against a member from the seven different clans of the Zensei Majin in each episode. Afterwards, different members of the same clan would repeatedly appear with the exact same appearance as the ones he first fought.  Back to me:

Diamond Eye- Warrior of Light (1973)

Kotaro Rai ends up with a magic ring that can summon the magical hero Diamond Eye.   This is fortunate, since Kotaro has stumbled onto a bunch of jewel thieves who turn out to be demons.  Kotaro can hold his own with humans, but against monsters?  He needs an ally.  Diamond Eye is as close to a genie or djinn as Japanese heroes got, so that makes him more unique than most of them.  That is saying something.  He carries the Diamond Stick, which has a wide variety of magical weapons in it.  He uses this to make the demons change back to their original forms.  King Cobra is the boss baddie, and it takes a good half year to stop him.
