I enjoyed all of those works you just mentioned.

Wow, really?! It's an installment in the Persona anime game series. I haven't played it, but its popularity on social media hasn't eluded me. Honestly, I'm surprised to hear that you don't even know what it is! I assume you don't spend that much time on the web?

Yeah, there's a special crossover gattai between Juran and Don Momotarou's hoverbike.

Manhole Kiva FTW!

Yeah, you heard right. A male pink Rider and a male pink Ranger are going to share Super Hero Time next year!

Welcome to Super Sentai! You've sure chosen a weird one to start with.

There's at least 8 of us on this forum who have declared to be fans of Ghost, myself included. Welcome to the club!

The way I see it, if I'm a fan of a show, then I feel like I should show my appreciation for some of the staff behind it. Likewise, for a show I have problems with, I want to know which cook spoiled the broth. It's convenient to remember a writer's portfolio, since it gives me some kind of idea about the quality I can expect, by recalling their previous works and my opinion about them.

That's one of the first things I pointed out here upon seeing the suits.

I think Jin is more iconic in his red Burning Falcon form though, since Flying Falcon doesn't even belong to him. Kijibrother reminds me more of a mix of Aquila Pink, Revi Eagle Genome and Slenderman.

Like the fan, the way Kijibrother is performing the "how to talk to short people" stance. The way Onisister is presenting Donmomotaro like he's the best, the way Donmomotaro is just putting his leg on Sarubrother who doesn't even mind in the slightest.

The existence of Inubrother at the base of it all.

Perfection

I can feel the Inoue-level cool bad boy energy from them, especially Don Momotarou and Inubrother. That team pose really screams, "Don't mess with us!", don't you think?

The question mark is part of Oni Sister's description.

Good work on those translations! BTW, the question mark is also part of Inubrother's description.

Here are my predictions for the non-CGI Rangers' suit actors:

Ito Shigeki as Don Momotarou
Gomi Ryoko as Onisister
Okamoto Jirou as Sarubrother

Does that sound plausible?
