Finally a JAV Review! it's been a long time, I hope you enjoy!

GO! GO! Power Woman stars Ai Kikuzato as the titular role who is a fighter for justice and love in "Fantastic World", but one day while battling her nemesis Deathtol, she is transported to earth and must adapt to the sinful, sordid nature of this world and its people, she must find and defeat Deathtol to return to Fantastic World where she belongs.

And the first thing I liked about this film was the naivety and innocence of our heroine, being very well established early on, and consistently throughout the film, giving it a naturally titillating and foreboding tone off-the-bat as we know eventually we'll see this hopeful purity get contaminated and ruined till she is just as hopeless as the residents of this new world she's trapped in.

I also like how the same theme/trait is shown in the maid/servant character, which not only foreshadows our heroine's fate, but shows that they're one and the same, and this is all amplified by the great yet short-lived performance from "Toru Ozawa" who is perilous, frightened and disgusted in these scenes and shows these emotions with a depth and a provocativeness that is fascinating to watch.

And the actor who plays "Deathtol" is incredibly seedy and disgusting as our villain, and makes these scenes even more dirty, and more heated as a result to counter her sweet naivety.

Ai Kikuzato is good as Power Woman, but not as great in the dialogue scenes. I think she sells the character well enough, but I would've liked more meat, and distinction in her performance, and maybe more quirks to really set her apart from the others as a character (of which the script has done brilliantly), but with that being said as the scenes get more heated her performance gets to a much higher level of quality.

The script itself is pretty standard for your usual GIGA film: Having our heroine be a hot-headed prude that only finds out her femininity once it's exploited, and eventually she becomes engrossed in it, feeling curious of that darker side, but with that being said the film does have a good variety of monsters and peril which keeps things very interesting, and what propels Deathtol's performance is his great dialogue, that distinguishes his overpowering villainy beautifully.

I specifically LOVE this moment/piece of dialogue:

And it goes on for much longer too, easily the highlight of the film, and the hottest moment I've seen in a heroine film in a long time.

One gripe that I would have is I wish the tentacles did more, being a flimsier version they don't fully penetrate her and simply slip under her costume a little, so Kikuzato has to act the rest, which is a testament to her acting skills but it still feels like a missed opportunity.

Another aspect I found weird was the voice-over, which feels quite out of place, confusing and unnecessary at times, used specifically for exposition and explaining things that haven't been cleared up yet, and it also seems to be Kikuzato narrating too but she's talking in the 3rd person which is very jarring, and while it does expand the story it still feels very oddly placed seeing we're in a very intense, high-pressure situation and she's decided to go into expositional dialogue now, but as the film goes along it becomes much more descriptive of her emotions instead of the plot going back to the usual 1st person perspective as most GIGA films do (and should).

The choreography and fighting, as expected is top notch, feeling kinetic, speedy and intricate. That's one more thing I can hand to Kikuzato, and it's that she sells the fight scenes brilliantly.

It's no surprise that the Power Woman costume is absolutely spellbinding as naturally by design it's erotic, but what I really love about it is the subtle shimmer it has in the interior scenes, showing that Kikuzato must've been a lot hotter in those scenes, and when the tentacles are introduced (naturally being wet). The suit looks mesmerizing as it gives every curve on her body a stunning sheen.

The sex scenes are all great as the film gets more heated, and one thing that I love is that they're absolutely filled with dialogue, and it all works at amplifying these already great scenes. Sadly some heroine films have the tendency to split the peril and the sex separately, which makes the peril more stimulating than the sex, but great films like Power Woman mix them up so you have no choice but to be enthralled, if not visually then psychologically.

I also like how downbeat the ending is, but also how profound and compassionate it is too, most films ending after the climax, yet this one lingers till her pain is uncomfortably felt by us as well and the inevitability of Deathtoll's actions are crystal clear, as well as the damage he's done emotionally and philosophically too as she realizes our world is a loveless world, and those bred with love will have it ripped out of them one way or another, which is a surprisingly potent note to end on and moment for her as a character.

There's a longevity to her pain as these experiences go one for what seems like forever until at the very end she is literally taken to a dimension where she is repeatedly exploited indefinitely, which goes on in a hellish loop forever, and is a beautiful down note to leave it on, because there's nothing sweeter than a truly destroyed heroine's ill fate getting worse, and we enjoy it just as much as we feel for her.
