This looks AWESOME so far; that added spice of the Red being Sougo but leaning further into the 'demon' bit of 'demon overlord' and then the wild costume design has me looking forward to it

Likewise! I'll definitely be keeping my eye on Hachi.

Actually, the actress mentioned in the press conference that she'll have another "role" without the face covering--a diametric opposite to her "king" role.

She wouldn't/couldn't reveal more than that, but I'm guessing maybe she'll play a princess or something girly to contrast with her sort of masculine "king" role? something like a Mulan type character?

That actually sounds like an awesome concept.

Could also be another Shinken Yellow thing where she's taking the place of a family member, perhaps an older sister, hence the partial face covering.

Hmmmmmmm

For recent KR examples of partially face-obscuring clothing, Geiz had a high collar and Vice had a mask, which I'm pretty sure they donned mostly cause they thought they looked cool. Then there's Magine, who doesn't even have a mouth and she probably has no more than 3 different facial expressions. So I don't see a problem with Rita hiding half their face behind their comically large collar flap. They seem to be a pretty reclusive character anyway, hailing from the impartial and cold land of ice and snow.

Well, Rita's kingdom is freezing cold so I assume that's why she's dressed like a cyberpunk ninja.

It's so obvious now /s

For a franchise covered (no pun intended) with suit acting, where in two recent-ish seasons numerous rangers were in full suits even outside their ranger form, I don't find one's face partially obscured to be of any concern. Her character even doesn't look like she'd necessarily have particularly animated facial expressions to me.
