what color is Hibiki's suit?

Purple?

Is this a Pop Quiz now?

Purple or as the politically correct police would say it's violet.

If Shotaro Ishimori didn't die back in 1998, how different the franchise would be today? I hear Kuuga was based on ideas that Ishimori had back in 1996-1997 before he died.

It'd probably be way different like we may have never gotten the collectable items thing until a bit later than ryuki.

There wasn't really collectibles in Kuuga and Agito to my knowledge... It wasn't really until Kiva that the whole thing really took off in full, I think

Some of the early art designs I found of Kuuga from Shotaro Ishimori made it seem like that Kuuga was going to be a different show then what we got now. It seems like a female rider was plan and the main rider had no mouth piece to him similar to Riderman. I found these on Tumblr, sorry if I got my info wrong.

Well your kind of right but ryuki was the first so I just used it as an example

These were abandoned concepts for A show not necessarily Kuuga. The female hero dates back to them trying to make Rider more in line with the Fushigi Comedy shows that were airing on Riders future timeslot.

do you think Metal Yoshida is aware of his meme status?
