I just found out about the patterns on the Taros that spell out bits of their name (and also that Sieg's chest has "SWAN" written on it), and now I'm sad all over again that Yasushi Nirasawa isn't still around to keep coming up with more amazing monster designs.

How did you not notice the SWAN on Sieg's chest? It's not exactly subtle :lol

Granted, though, I'm probably the only person who likes Sieg and Wing Form enough to really look at his suit for extended periods of time :p

Hmm..I think the Kanzen GokaiOh's Kanzen Burst punch finsher are based on V-Rex Robo's Rex Punch finisher.....

First, I'd like to say that this is probably the first Sentai-related post on this thread.

Second, maybe not? I mean, the whole 'rocket punch' thing has been around since Bioman at the very least.

To be fair, that's because this thread was made before the Sentai and KR subforums were merged, so this was originally a Kamen Rider topic :lol

So does that mean we can post realisations about Super Sentai, Ultraman and other toku stuff on here?

I don't see why not :lol
I was just explaining why it took so long for a Sentai post to appear

I can actually tell you exactly how.

It's literally all down to it being mirrored on the other side. The giant, attention-grabbing "S" is balanced out by the backwards one right next to it, resulting in my brain just seeing two decorative squiggly gold lines no different from the ones elsewhere on his body, including just above on his collar. Same deal for the other letters.

It's not subtle at all once you see it, but it's blended into the design so naturally I never gave it a second thought until recently.

Like I said, I guess it's all a part of me just being in love with Wing Form and Sieg since 2007 :lol
So I can totally understand not seeing it until pointed out :lol

I just realised that Kuuga's Growing Form is based on a stag beetle (kuwagata) larva.
