Sure, there will definitely be less pirate stuff and some of the minor stuff can be hand waved, but I think its a bit like Alien Rangers, where theres a painfully obvious motif they're ignoring.

I guess we'll agree to disagree then. I think people are making a big deal out of nothing. I think the helmet design and logo are both granted, but not SCREAMING issues like say the Goseier Cards. Sure they look piratey to you because that is what you're looking for, but as a kid who doesn't know the context I don't think they spell out pirates as much as the ninja costumes from Kakuranger, which I perfectly recognised as ninjas about two decades before I'd know what a Kakuranger is.

With the long coats, the gold and silver trims, I think they work just as well as regal anniversary suits like the Gosei ones did and function fine entirely with only that context in mind.
