Suits are definitely an, acquired taste so to speak, but I don't know, I'm kinda vibing with the more retro look.
Personally, I have much more interest in the writer they brought in. Seems to be someone both new to Sentai while also having a ton of other writing credits, so I'm interested in seeing what they bring to the table |

So the suit I really like. It feels very retro while doing something different in terms of car sentai suit designs with Go-onger suits being the second closest to a racing suit as of now. It almost feels like they added a bit of Ohranger notably with the helmet and took a Go-Busters approach with it by trying to make it look close to what they're referring to while keeping it super sentai. Dare I say grounded for a lack of better words just with the suit alone. And it definitely is an acquired taste, so no disagreement there, but yeah, I like what they've presented. As for the reveal poster, it's like a page out of Uchusen magazine.

The helmets give me Voicelugger vibes.

The rest of the costume is fine, but maaannn... Those helmets are so weird it's good, haha. The whole design gives off a stronger fake/parody Sentai vibe than Akibaranger did. Someone could tell me that this is a Sentai parody for Bridgestone's TV ad and I'd definitely believe it.
The changer braces are so thick and clunky that it's even thicker than the dudes' forearms. In the previous leaks it was shown that the tire on the back was on the left side, but from this new poster there's another tire on the right side. They have 1 tire on the helmet, 2 tires on the back, and 2 tires on the shoes. So, they have 5 tires in total? More juicy weirdness! Haha. It quite makes sense, though. This feels like an inevitable, natural event when a half-century old franchise needs to challenge itself and shake up its design aesthetics once in a while. It needs to look beyond the obvious to discover new possibilities. It needs to look even weirder than its parodies to catch their target audience's attention. It seems like a friend of mine was correct when he jokingly said that weird is the new good. |

This seems to be the basis for their red car from the reveal pic.

Nah, skirts are too iconic to permanently phase out like that. It's probably just situational. Kamakiri-Ohger is inherited by the monarch of Ishabana, so it makes sense for that to be unisex for consistency. Skirts in racing are usually more associated with grid girls, while the pit crew wear functional clothes. Quote:
Now that we have a better look of the suits, Boon Red actually reminds me of Kamen Rider Kaixa. Anybody else see it? Quote:

Unlike Go-Onger, this Sentai seems to be advertised as a 3-core initially, so I guess Black and Orange are more comparable to Black Bison and Green Sai, albeit appearing much earlier. Interesting how both Gotchard and Boonboonger are minimalistic with the amount of heroes.

The screenwriter worked on a lot of childrens anime so that might be part of them leaning into a more younger-skewing Sentai.
