Like Visions says, whether it's good or bad luck is up in the air. I guess it would've been more appropriate if Baku had asked about the color meanings after he drew 2 Technoloms in Episode 6, considering how prominent the symbols are inside the Prison Nightmare.

I kind of assume the big turning point comes at the end of the year? Although I'm also liking how frequently the bike gets screentime so far, so with this writer, I guess we'll all have to hope that whatever else goes down, nothing too bad will happen with Zero around Christmas.

At least in Zero's case, he's only piloting the body remotely, so he should be spared the fate of a certain other talking bike. I think everybody besides Baku and Nem are not safe from Christmas though.

In my Shinkenger rewatch, Act 45, Kaoru used a projectile variant, which I thought was pretty cool!
