A book called 25 Super Sentai Series Complete Material Book that was published in 2001 stated briefly that the helmet design has a Zenar card motif. Takeyuki Suzuki, who was one of the producers, however, said in another publication that it has more to do with just representing numbers 5 through 1, and there are no correlations. That said, I personally am convinced that maybe the design department took inspiration from them despite the main motif being ancient civilizations and decided to run with it.

My mistake. It's supposed to be Zener.
![]() But to get back to your question, they're supposed to be cards created with the purpose of testing whether or not a person has psychic powers and stuff. Quote:
![]() That said, I do wonder if it's a case of internal miscommunication at the time when they were in pre-production. Off topic, Shishido who played Goro/Oh Red said in an interview that the working title he was given when he auditioned was Nazoranger, which roughly translates to Riddle Ranger. ![]()

So, why do some Sentai like to make a certain arm gesture when announcing their attacks (usually while in cockpits)?
Granted, it's more a compliment to a dramatic announcement given that stunt actors can't visually emote using facial expressions while their faces are covered, but it still comes across as... questionable. This is most obvious in Zyuranger and Dairanger, and by default, the early days of Mighty Morphin'. https://sirstack.db-destiny.net/morphylogeny/127.htm It could be because the gesture doesn't have the same amount of cultural/sociopolitical significance in Japanese society, but even that feels off cause the Shocker grunts of Kamen Rider would do a variation of the same gesture given Shocker's origins/affiliations. |

If you want a gay ranger then the closest you will get are BL dramas with former toku actors starring in them. It hurts my soul when I'm looking for dramas to watch and see former Kamen Rider and Super Sentai actors in those BL drama shows, but you probably might like them so that's my suggestion |

Thank you digging up a 10 year old topic with some dicey replies only to be more homophobic than everyone else, I hope you enjoyed the non-binary characters in Donbrothers and KingOhger and the lesbian relationship in Revice.
