Right to Left Rule

"Japanese heroes are influenced by classic Japanese theater. Most of them do finishers from right-to-left!"

- Nobuo Akagi (Akiba Red)

The Right to Left Rule, as explained by Nobuo Akagi (AkibaRed) in episode 12 of Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger: Season Two, is a trope used in Japanese hero shows including tokusatsu. Most heroes perform their finishing attack on the right side to the villain on the left, which has been done in classic Japanese theatre.
