Eagle Talon (秘密結社 鷹の爪, Himitsu Kessha Taka no Tsume, lit. Secret Society Eagle Talon) is a Japanese Flash animation created by former Shimane Prefecture resident Ryo Ono (FROGMAN) and produced by DLE. The series turns the classic superhero formula on its head, making the ostensibly “evil” team of villains the protagonists of the story, and the traditional superhero of the series, Deluxe Fighter, a narcissistic and largely incapable bully.
