Ok, idea.

I keep staring at the silhouettes for the Heisei and Ichigou Damashii, and it just doesn't make sense to me. Ichigou looks normal, I mean, but Heisei...that silhouette is identical to Grateful's, or at least the arm is. What little can be seen of the rest is also similar, only the helmet being different. I also kept staring at the face design trying to figure out what it was and...

Yeah, I'm actually thinking Heisei Damashii is probably based on Grateful rather than being a normal hoodie type of Damashii. I mean, it makes sense. Just like Grateful seems to have the 15 heroic Eyecon's faces on his body, Heisei Rider could have the 16 Riders' faces on his with only a little alteration. And the helmet could probably be an unholy amalgamation of all the main Rider's helmets (i mean, those horns up top are already sorta suspiciously similar to a few other Riders').

If this is the case, it'll probably be kind of an ugly thing, but damn, now that I have the idea in my head I am super interested in what that would even look like.

Like, where is the Heisei Damashii even gonna be used, actually? I imagine Ichigou will be in the Ichigou movie, but that doesn't seem like the right place to break out a Heisei form. Is it gonna be at the end of the Legend Rider shorts? The April release date raises some questions...well, we'll find out before too long.

Alain's father Adonis, the Ganma emperor will appear in episode 19 along with Thane Camus's character, Steve Bills (Steve Jobs+Bill Gates), an owner of an IT company.

Welp. Surprise, surprise. In the preview for next week's episode, it teased a new Ganma higher-up in a silver outfit, but his face was hidden. No idea where it came from, but I found this on 4chan:

I'm not going to jump to any conclusions just yet, but it's interesting to see this plot thread being tackled this early on. Can't wait to see where it leads.

The picture is from Toei's episode guide for episode 20.

But yeah. More and more revelations up in Ghost lately.

Seems like he's part of the royal family. Do you think there's any relation to Alain or Adonis?

I think his title there is "Grandfather Achil," so he could very well be Alain's grandfather? Potentially on his mother's side (depending on how the Ganma family tree works), which might explain why Adonis is emperor instead of him. Whatever the case, Achil is apparently a "Grandcouncilman," whatever that means.

In today's episode Alain seemed confused about the concept of a boyfriend, so I'm guessing interpersonal bonds (including romantic ones) aren't popular in the Ganma World. Which makes sense from the rest of what we've learned about it.

It really makes one wonder how the concept of a royal family makes sense, and how they're really related if at all.

That seems really interesting. I can't wait to find out more about Achil.

Not bad.

I like it. Also, looks like Grimm and Sanzo are unchanged. Kinda weird, but whatever.

I was hoping the faces would use translucent parts...the solid colored painted on look doesn't do a lot for me. Honestly, it's a solid design in concept but in practice a lot of the faces just look a bit off in general. And Grimm/Sanzo look odd.

I don't dislike it, but it's...a bit different than I was hoping.
