[Kurona]

In retrospect, it always shocks me the pace of just how much Kuuga was shilling toys and how much merch it had to sell. I always think of that as something that came later, with earlier shows being much lighter on it -- but here we've got the Arcle, then the weapons associated with its forms; the bike; the figures for all those; and now the Gouram! And it won't be that much longer till [SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER] either.

And yet, much like OOO when it isn't showing off a burping axe (disclaimer: I LOVE the axe), everything just feels so naturally integrated. It's why it is so surprising! Everything feels planned for and purposeful, with no excess of toys or anything that becomes redundant. All of it feels like something that naturally fits in the mythos and lore of Kuuga, even if we don't really find out that much about it. It's neat.
