What Japanese names am I using? I'm certain they're all(abbreviated) English words.

Uid.

Squid

Uid is derived from Squid. And i'ts supposed to be an octopus anyway. :p

Then why didn't you use Squi o.o But, you're right. Octo works much better.

Yeah Sentai, he was using squid lol. Using Tako would still be Japanese. But if ShockerCon did think it was squid, it'd be Ika in Japanese :lol

Because I like to use the ending part of the 3rd animal's name as the 3rd part of the combo name. Hence Hop, Tah, Phant, Uid, etc.

Ah, I understand now.

But wait...wouldn't it be Per instead of Hop if he's using the last part of the animals name?

My fellow users; allow me to tell you all a tale... about the Masked Knights.

Long ago, a great evil came to Earth, seeking to conquer the little world. They were numerous, and led by a ruthless king. For a time, the Earth lived in fear of this new ruler and his army of monsters. But then nine brave warriors, who fought to see their world no longer in fear, stood up to oppose this king. They were Gouram, Tornador, Reddeki, Flastomir, Saberius, Ongek, Zecuto, Deeno, and Arival. A mysterious benefactor granted them with amazing power, giving them armor and weapons that made them the Masked Knights. They battled the king for nine day and nine nights, until, finally, it seemed the king would prevail. That is, until the nine warriors combined their power and destroyed the king. His army disappeared, and peace returned to the world. But not all was well. Though Arival stayed and was made Emperor, his comrades were sent out throughout the universe as a result of there final attack against the king. Throughout the time that passed, the people of Earth forgot about the nine warriors, dismissing them as little more than stories.

In the present, young Jane is the granddaughter of a photographer who has a dream about a great war between the nine warriors and an army of Masked Knights and an unseen adversary. Not long after, she is approached by a strange man warning her about the return of the king. The man leaves, and Jane finds herself in a park next to a vagrant with a camera. He asks to take her picture, explaining to her how no matter what he does, all of his photos come out wrong, but she seems different. Before Jane can agree, the two are approached by an elderly Arival, who gives the vagrant a buckle, saying he must use it to save this world and the others. They are then attacked by monsters, with Arival assuming his Knight form, the vagrant fighting alongside him as Camderard. The battle ends with Arival telling the vagrant and Jane that they must find the new warriors, before he fades away. Jane asks for the vagrant's name, but he tells her he does not know.

"How about Tracy?"

The vagrant agrees, and the two return to Jane's home, her grandfather's photography studio. The grandfather takes Tracy in, just as a backdrop falls, showing a picture of Gouram. They find themselves on a new world much like their own, and are attacked by the new Gouram. Eventually, they realize that the evil from the past is returning, as are the nine warriors. Now joined by the new Gouram, the four travel across the worlds enlisting the help of other the warriors to fight the king's army. In their travels, they clash with Davy Jones, a treasure hunter who not only knows Tracy, but transforms into Difinalle. Eventually, Davy befriends the group, and they soon learn there's more to the legend than meets the eye- there were warriors before the nine who had previously fought the king and failed who are also returning.
