I would also love to know this!

I really like that the kids (Gen and Kengo, at least) play around with the Switches? It's obviously wheat the kids in the audience will end up doing with them, but it's just... I don't know, it's cute. There's all this cosmic power bound up in a mysterious vessel that's being slowly analyzed until it can power a superhero who can hopefully defeat the encroaching darkness of stellar adversaries, but also Hey Look You Can Push This Plunger Down And It Goes CLICK. I love how that's kind of this premise in a piece of 500 yen plastic, you know? It's equal parts justice-enabling ephemera, and just something goofy for anxious children to occupy themselves with.
