Well obviously theres a clear insectoid vibe with that suit and I took the time to do some digging in the Kanji because YES Kikai as a word can mean machine but we know its written differently Much like how Masshin was written as Demon Advancement or something like that, or that was our early reading of it only to now realize it was more Ma as in Magic not Ma as in Demon. Plus the obvious play on machines.
Engine sentai go-onger was written as Fire god and so on.
So lets look at 機界 Kikai from Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger.
機 Ki- Machine
界 Kai- this we take to mean world... but it has some other meanings for example when paired with 世 gives us the familiar term 世界 Sekai- which is also where we get the term Isekai (another world)
However from what i can dig up- Note i'm not expert and I was mainly looking at Jisho.org but 界 can also mean afew other things.
Noun - used as a suffix
1. community; circles; world
Noun - used as a suffix
2. kingdom (Biology term)
3. erathem (Geology, etc. term)
Noun - used as a suffix
4. field (electrical)
Noun
5. border; boundary; division
We are all focusing on Kai as in world... but what if its TAXONOMY... IF the rumor of them using past mecha is true then this works rather well. Machine _ Sentai Zenkaiger with some overt insect theme seems strange to me. Personally if they have a insect vibe I'd expect more Insect relation in the name of the team.
HOWEVER if its Mechanical Kindom(Taxonomy) Sentai Zenkaiger then....
Dinosaurs
Animals
Magical creatures
And Vehicles
+ NEW MECHA
YES i know vehicles are NOT a kingdom... but if since MOST mecha have some sort of mechanical form (even if they start out as a guardian spirit) then we can probably look at them under a similar lens. we've noted how the rumored mecha can be roughly seen as represening 4 types of past mecha.
What if the 5th is an insectoid mecha... maybe they will take a page from Kyuranger and have each ranger suit look rather differnet from one another. Red with Insectoid features due to having a highspeed insect mecha of sorts. And the other 4 taking traits from their respective classifications all keeping the high collar bits.
