I think I’ll point out here that Hibiki is not his real name. In fact, much like Amazon back in the Showa Era, Hibiki’s real name is never said on screen. (It’s Hitoshi Hikada by the way).

I’ll also point out that his show’s whole theme of mentors reminds me of a random tweet I read once talking about how Tokusatsu writers also have mentors when they first start out. The examples they used were Yasuko Kobayashi mentoring under a Metal Heroes writer (I forget which one, but it was one from the early 90s) and Kento Shimoyama (writer of Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters… ‘s side material post-retool, Kikaider (reboot), Shuriken Sentai Ninninger, Super Doubutsu Taisen, Kamen Sentai Gorider and Kamen Rider Zi-O) mentored under Yoshino Urasawa (writer of several Toei Fushigi Comedies, Gekisou Sentai Carranger and Movie Wars Ultimatum). I’m also convinced that Junko Komura (Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger, Lupinranger vs Patranger, Healin’ Good Pretty Cure) mentored under Naruhisa Arakawa (I’m sure you’re familiar with what he wrote. If you aren’t, then what’s wrong with you?).

What? I barely have anything to say about the first half unless it’s a debut or episode 24. I’ll be a lot more passionate (and on-topic) after the movie.
