Funny that people get hung up about demons in children's shows here in the West yet how many demon based Digimon were in Digimon with no complaint? Instead everyone called Pokemon evil demons.
Anyways it would be interesting to see what Toei does with the 2020 Sentai. If they'll focus on ancient demon lore or if they'll focus on machines taking over the world a la Maximum Overdrive. Last edited by Sevenlima; 10-01-2019 at 10:04 AM.. |

The only thing that would make me doubt the machine thing is that, well, Kamen Rider's kind of got that covered at the moment. Generally speaking cocurrent Sentai and Rider go for very different themes with minimal crossover; which kinda makes sense so they aren't competing with each other. Even very close calls like Toqger and Drive both being vehicle-based had an obvious distinct difference from each other.

I think we have a bad interpretation because in the end, couldn't be demons after all.

- Unlike its adaption, Go-Busters never really played up its animal theming. Sure, the zords had animal modes; but they were minor points and beyond a few details and it wasn't a significant part of the roleplay weapons, the combined mecha or even the ranger designs themselves. The only time I feel it was ever played up was with Tatagami Li-Oh, which of course debuted after OOO ended. - There was tech in both Go-Busters and Fourze, yeah; but obviously with much different theming. Go-Busters was more about spy equipment and operations while Fourze was full-on space. ... and, uh, switches. It's not so much that there can't be a tech-based sentai alongside a tech-based rider; or a mystic-based sentai alongside a mystic-based rider. It's more what form that takes -- Ninninger and Ghost both had mystical elements to them, but one was about ninjas while the others was about spectres and historical figures. |

I want to see Yumi Kakazu be the narrator and voice the devices if they were to do the Arabian Mythology motif. Also, if they choose the Arabian motif, it be like Gosieger but with Muslim elements or if Goseiger was Muslim instead of Christian. I will expect that the episode will end with the Islamic date of the date of airing and the base will set in Tokyo Camii.

Why hope for for just one religious-type of focus? Hope for aspects of all of them used in equal amounts in harmony. That would be a good show and a good way to promote coexistence and harmony among the world and it's people.

"Demon" has different connotations in Japan. They aren't necessarily evil or from hell, they're just weird magical creatures.
My guess is that we're going to get mythical Japanese creatures, like kappa/tanuki/tengu/kitsune, infused with some sort of technology -- which would align pretty well with the existing rumors. Also, sorry to everyone who was so totally certain we'd be getting a Sports/Olympics-themed series. Please bow down to our new Glitter Demon overlords! |

I am near certain that you were not supposed to be reading it as demon so much is you are supposed to read it as magic. Especially when you have it as others have pointed out, the potential for it to be a pun meaning machine and majin. You know, like the giant robot thing from Zi-O. Because I don’t think a transforming space bike with a clock for a face is a demon found in any sort of grimoire. |
