(Oh, and speaking of the halfway-there attempts to push the merch more traditionally, gotta love how we're seeing a renewed emphasis on the Avatar Change gimmick... with the older teams that share generic noises in the Don Blaster, instead of the post-Gokaiger ones that were supposed to be the kinda "main" feature. This isn't a complaint either, though! Donbrothers just wouldn't be Donbrothers if it were doing these things the "normal" way!)

No that's not a halfway attempt to push merch. That's a reference to Jirou himself. Remember Jirou's design is based upon Journey to the West which is a Chinese novel. They Avatar Change into Dairanger which is also based upon Chinese mythology. Its a surprisingly clever reference.
