That's actually brilliant lol, what on earth.

'Brave' is also an English word used by fantasy games/anime for 'yuusha', which means 'hero' or 'warrior', and is typicaly applied to knights/heroes in shining/magic armor. Coincidence? I think not!

Despite liberties being taken in terms of color schemes and design specifics, the Meteokaiju from Ultraman Omega are loosely based on the Four Symbols, didn't click for me until Valgeness appeared and Gamedon was announced. For those not familiar, the Four Symbols are the four mythical beasts also used as the inspiration for works such as, most notably, the OG 1st gen Beyblade (the Bit Beasts of the OG Gen 1 Beyblade protagonists). In toku, right off the bat, Rio's four Genjyuken lieutenants from Gekiranger, the Seishinjyu from Justiriser, and some of the Invess from Kamen Rider Gaim come to mind.

Rekiness = Azure Dragon
Trigaron = White Tiger
Valgeness = Vermilion Bird
Gamedon = Black Tortoise

So I just remembered Yuuki Furukawa who plays Nox in Zeztz is THE Yuuki Furukawa who can speak English fluently and was the co-star of Honoka Miki (Mezool's human form in OOO) in Itazura na Kiss 2013 (that one romance manga adapted to live-action like crazy in many countries alongside Hana yori Dango and Hana Kimi).

Why is it that I fear he's gonna tag along with other toku alumni in English-speaking conventions and he's gonna double as a guest and a translator. *Googles next Power-Morphicon schedule* Uh oh.
