I would not simply attribute it to "looking too hard" for patterns. If Drive has no clear homage to the number 7 anywhere on his suit (be it 7 or VII) then it's really a broken pattern.

I would think words like 'coincidence' hold only if there've been official statements brushing it off.. Unless you make the argument that Toei didn't think it was important enough to address, in which case, fair enough.

The visor thing is the biggest stretch, because it's just supposed to look like segmented fruit and six happens to be an even number. If they'd used an uneven amount it would have looked lopsided and any less than six wouldn't have really given the impression of the segmented orange. If they wanted to clearly reference the number theme, why wasn't the orange locksided no.6?

And again, yeah, Wizard uses rings and the human hand just happens to have 5 fingers. I find it impossible to see these as anything more than coincidences.
