Anime (& other Japanese stuff) Round-Up (Monster, demon, wolf, tiger, gorilla, and snake transformations)

Enjoy some TF sightings from the land of the rising sun:

Aaron reports a muscle-growth/clothes-bursting scene from episode 47 of Toriko.

Daymon reported the following seven entries:

* From episode 7 of Samurai Flamenco, a drug-dealer who turns into a cyborg gorilla with a guillotine in its chest. Thanks Japan.

* Two transformations from Bleach: a wolfy dream transformation from episode 310 and a villain reveals his monster form in 311.

* Dr. Slump features the character Tsukutsun Tsun, who transforms into a tiger whenever a girl touches him.  His first transformation is in episode 90. The video is a low visual quality Catalan dub.

* Episode 16 of Tokyo Maijin has one character turning into a shadowy giant snake-like monster--a several seconds later his opponent turns into giant luminous tiger.

* From episode 96 of Hunter x Hunter 2011, a monster transformation.

* Episode 5 of the new Ushio and Tora series has a quick demon TF.

* Magetsukan Kitan is a manga, and in Vol. Ch. 6 we're introduced to a werewolf who transforms when he gets sexually aroused. Start reading here -- you can stop at page 22, when he reverts to human form.

Continuing with "other Japanese stuff," reader Dash Master 48 reports on monster transformations in the live action Kamen Rider Gaim, which involve a rider eating a fruit that turns him into a plant hybrid monster in  episode 14. The first TF is at the very beginning, with rest at the 09:41 and 17:10 marks.

We conclude with an inquiry from a reader named Henry, who wonders if anyone knows what show this clip is from. If you know, do tell--I'm hoping the original footage is slower.
EDIT: An eagle-eyed anonymous user found the source. It's from a new anime called Bureau of Proto Society and can be seen at the 05:24 mark of the show's trailer

  9. May I also ask, did you like the TF's I suggested?

  10. I did, thanks again. Though, as with the majority of transformations, I wish they were longer and more detailed.

  11. Ah, it's fine. What did you think of the show's quality in general?

    Maybe you should try and look into Kamen Rider and Super Sentai for TF's.

  12. I'm not familiar enough with the genre to make a statement about the show's quality--I'll keep an eye out for transformations in Kamen Rider and Super Sentai, and if you see any please let me know.

  13. Thank. I decided to send you the Gaim suggestion after seeing Shin's TF on here.

    Also, because he becomes a monster, Ryoji dies a few episodes later thanks to another rider.

    1. I do like the transformation not for what it shows but it's impact It had on the story. I am a fan of the Kamen Rider series and I have seen Gaim series to the end. I really did like it for how it was a deconstruction of the series itself.
