And yeah, I know about the cardinal beasts. No worries. I was curious about the other 3 rangers' beasts, though. Since I knew the significance of the dragon and phoenix, and I knew that a tortoise and tiger were going to be used, too. I never got why a lion/shishi, tenma, and kirin were chosen.
Didn't know Japan used the kirin in place of a tiger, though.

The lion, or Shishi, is another protector in Buddhism. The Tenma, or Pegasus is because the Kirin is often confused with a unicorn, especially in Western ideologies. That is also why both Kiden Beasts are pretty much identical in design.

BTW, the Golden Kick Oni episode is one of my favorites. I love the monster and how crazy unique he is and I love the music that accompanies him.
