So welcome to Blade my favorite installment of the Phase 1 Heisei era. I guess if Fish is gojng to explain the actual fun parts I’ll do the explanations for the riders themeing.

I feel like the playing card and the standard insect theme is pretty obvious with the undead being sealed into cards and Blade and Garren having a spade and diamond theme respectively but the themeing also goes for their names and weapons (rousers). The spade is also known as the suit of swords and is where his name and weapon comes from, while the diamond is also known as the suit if coins with Garren being a “corruption” of Galleon a type of coin from Harry Potter* I don’t know how a gun fits into that but it’s the only real odd part out of all the riders.

Also unrelated but the names for their bikes are Blue Spader and Red Rhombus respectively.

*Harry Potter was really big at the time and was the souce of the magic themeing for Magiranger that aired a year later
