Like I think it would be cool if it was Beowulf themed, but I just don't think there's any grounded reason to beleive it is (I'll be happy if I'm wrong tho lol)

I think a lot of people simply haven't heard that the kana doesn't match up? I've also seen suit "leaks" that play off the Beowulf theme, and people love dicussing those, yknow? Even if it's fake, it's really the only "lead" we have considering how vague the name is, so people like dicussing it.

Upon further consideration, if the two-item thing is coming from the Beowulf angle, maybe that's not what's happening.

Ultraman Taiga which does the same form-item and attack-item set up also had 8 items per set

But it could also just mean they have multiple gimmick items for one form since I think Ultrama Geed and Ultraman Z also had the 8 item per set thing?

It is very speculation heavey, because it could also just be that we're starting with 8 singular items, or they could be doing some weird new thing we haven't even considered lol
