[Androzani84]

Well, I’m back with another round of homage explanations

Gatack/Kuuga (Stag Beetle)

Both have a pretransformed state (Growing Form/Masked Form)

Both get beat up constantly. (Thanks for that tidbit, Kurona)

Both are hailed as the strongest Rider within their setting. (Though both are also the weakest.)

And I’ll do a special comparison with, of all things, a Super Sentai duo.

Kabuto and Gatack/ KabutoRaiger and KuwagaRaiger (from Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger)

Both are based on the “Japanese Beetle Brothers” archetype.

Both have a red/blue colour contrast between members.

Both have a gun and a claw weapon as their weapon of choice (though KuwagaRaiger’s isn’t a pair of hedge trimmers)

In both duos, the blue one is the more approachable.

And heads up, the “after the next time trailer” clips will begin advertising the movie with the next episode.
