I think your threads are among the best this forum has to offer, but due to me being a lazy bum who cannot be bothered to keep up with much over an extended period of time, I feel like I could never follow one of these adventures to the end, and just hopping in and out seems disrespectful to me so I stay outside most of the time. It's okay, just leave me be.

Kamen Rider Saber though, I was kinda interest to read your first impression, because I sit firmly in the "I didn't like it at all"-camp. But then I read this word here, "headsword". And it kinda made me think. He, well, surely has one of those. I looked at the one figure I have of Saber to confirm, and yes, it has a sword growing out of its little head. So Kamen Rider Saber is indeed a swordsman who has a sword on his head. Sword. Head.

Then I remembered what series I'm madly in love with over more than 2 years now, which was popular before Saber aired, long enough to say it might have had an influence. And the revelation that these two could potentially be connected through this element irritates me.

Is it a coincidence? Is it not? Intentional homage? It might be. I shall take my leave now, that thought will live in my brain for a while now:

"Is Kamen Rider Saber's helmet design inspired by Chainsaw Man?"
