I was figuring that this wasn't a core member, and that he'd be a leader/mentor that gets incapacitated at the start.

I like that way the hell more than I should.

Oh wow, something about that I really dig

This is interesting

So ... could Zenkaiser be the Zi-O of Sentai ?

That would be incredibly cool and incredibly lame at the same time.

Unless they appear alongside each other someday, then I’m in.

I've never liked the Akaranger suit, and it all comes down to the helmet, which just doesn't manage to go anywhere near cool. And that... is a suit extremely devoted to faithfully homaging Akaranger's helmet.

I really kind of adore this design. It's a fantastic fusion of all the elements that endear many 70's toku to me. This design looks like it could have walked out of some old Ishinomori sketchbook or something. I really really like it. Now will the show be good? Who knows. I haven't really been wowed a sentai since Go-Busters. But this design is so promising.

That does make a lot of sense. Just looking at him, he doesn't look like he could be a part of the core team, even considering how Reds will often get much cooler stuff than the others. Not to mention the name, ZenKaiser, which just screams "Extra Hero/Ranger."

Everything thing about all these homages being put together into a single suit shouldn't work, and on paper they don't. But damn if there isn't something about the execution here that makes me love it. Think the V-fin helps massively on the helmet.

I love this suit!
