You completely glossed over how I also said: It fits in with the Sengouku Era motifs of the rest of the show. Plus, look at Shin Zangetsu, Duke, and the rest of the Energy Riders. Those don't exactly fit fruits, and Shin Zan's helmet looks like Zangetsu's original Melon Arms helmet.

I really think you're overthinking this.

I know how it looks like samurai armor, but it still doesn't look like a fruit. The Energy Rider on the other hand, do look like the fruits they're based on(show me a black lemon that isn't rotten or spray-painted and I'll take this all back).

And he still just has Orange Arms' helmet. Shin Zangetsu's is a different mold, but this isn't.

For me, it looks like a hybrid. He still uses the Sengoku Driver and not the Genesis Driver so appropriately the armor looks like it was cobbled together from various sources looking like a fruit/armor mash-up.

Yes, this. You have to remember he doesn't just use the Lemon Energy Seed to Henshin, he also uses his normal Orange LockSeed.

See Shock? The second image. Orange Lockseed. And I absolutely love the lemon slices in the armor :lol

But it doesn't look like a mash-up of fruit and armor.

I don't think that's a good enough excuse, because, Orange + Lemon =/= Black samurai armor.
Are you just suspending all disbelief because two lockseeds at the same time is something we've never seen before?

Huh, I guess he kinda has a fruit pattern that could conveniently look like either an orange or a lemon. I still don't like it.

Looking pretty good there Gaim, even borrowed Bujin's colored mouth. Makes me wonder if any of the other Sengokunites will be getting these armor upgrades.

I like the more muted color scheme it gives him. The black with new silver detailing like the head crest really sells this combo.

I suspended belief because it's a show where break-dancers become superheroes using fruit that turns into padlocks from another dimension occupied by Worms from Kabuto becoming fruit armor :lol
