In the Kamen Sentai Go-Rider spin-off, Emu leaves a numerical sequence which operates as a coded message for him to solve the mystery of who is in charge behind the scenes (trying not to spoil too much here). When we finally learn the meaning behind the numbers in Part 3, the pronunciation of the numbers is vastly different from how numbers in the Japanese language tend to be pronounced (from a tokusatsu standpoint at least), but the difference in pronunciation is the basis for Emu's message.
All that being said, I guess my question is: How do the numbers genuinely say what Emu says they do? |

Not only was he basically switching number-sound sets mid-word, but the set he used for Blade (2 0 10) as he intended comes out as (Fu Rei To), I guess being the closest approximation of (Bu Rei Do) that he could get.

The only difference between フレイト and ブレイド is two dakutens (the things that dictate a consonant is voiced). It's not that much of a stretch when the whole point of goroawase to begin with is basically to cheat the system. Who cares about Go-Rider anyway?! The only series of numbers Rider fans really need to know how to read is 753!

I’m watching Zero One and just finished episode 7. So does Aruto destroy Humagears when he defeats them or not? Because Kobe was still coaching at the end, but the previous episode had the replacement daughter unambiguously destroyed. At first I just assumed it was a replacement Kobe, since he seems to be being taught by the students, but they mention how he’s grown. They also flashed back to one of the first Humagears Aruto beat which was definitely saved, the guy with the arm wrap.
It’s just confusing because the show is basically establishing the Humagears are, or are capable of becoming, people, but nobody seems upset when they’re destroyed even though Aruto clearly gets upset over the idea of them dying. Did I miss something? |

Did I miss something? I don't remember anythign specific with Kobe, but they could have just left him a while to grow. He won't be the *same* as the old Kobe, but he's close enough.

As far as I remember, every single HumaGear (aside from a few selected ones, spoilers so I won’t go into detail) has a cloud backup, so when they are destroyed Hiden produces an identical copy and loads the backup into it.
Aruto's rage and sadness stems less from the fact that the ones he destroys don’t come back or only in an altered way, but from his personal views. He believes HumaGear to be individuals and part of his family, so the act of them getting hacked which forces him to attack and destroy them is what upsets him. The daughter from episode 6 is an exception to the rule as her appearance was illegal, it is forbidden for HumaGear to bear the resemblance of deceased people who cannot consent to this act, and so after she was destroyed she couldn’t be replaced. I was also confused by this early on because the act of replacement was never really shown until later and the backup was explained in a completely different context. |

FWIW, the very next episode I watched after posting explained that the Dodo assassin survived via a backup. It’s just weird that the Hiden Humagears are never explicitly said to be recovered or backed up before this point but that seems totally logical.
But then... Kobe again seems weird, since it’s not stated whether he was reset or not? Because if he was either reset or replaced, the remark about him growing along with the basketball team makes no sense, but if his learned personality was preserved then him seemingly having to be taught how to play makes no sense. I guess the whole Humagear thing is otherwise so consistent these things stand out as “wait is that supposed to mean something” or “wait is that a mistake?” |

I recently saw a question without an answer (not on a TokuNation Thread) and it's a curious one: What is with that odd background music in Ryuki 32 at about 10 Minutes, 19 Seconds? To set the scene a little, Reiko is talking to someone about Shirou. The sound is brief, but comes across as distorted.
