Honestly that's probably where it came from. Harry Potter was extremely popular in Japan, hence the influence seen in Hurricanger and Magiranger. |

Okay. So I was correct with Blade and Chalice, and my theory for Leangle was correct as well. But I never would have guessed Garren. *shrugs* Part of me deep down knew that the four Blade Riders may have been Tarot related in some form or fashion. I just didn't want to voice it and feel stupid for being wrong. ^_^'

From Rider Wiki: "The name "Leangle" is the derived from 'leangle" (pronounced "liangle") which is an Aboriginal club/polearm-type weapon, which is related to the Minor Arcana version of the Suit of Clubs: the Suit of Wands."
Just a quick reminder: Blade's designs are based upon the French suits (Spade, Club, Heart, Diamond), but the names are taken from the Minor Arcana (Italian, Latin) suits (Sword (Blade), Cup (Chalice), Coin (Garren), and Wand (Leangle)). Beaten to the punch ![]() |

For the showa era rider that were made into cyborgs, just how much of the body was replaced with robotics?

I think most of the skeleton is replaced.
there's a chapter in Kamen Rider Spirits that shows off the inner machinations of the Kaizou Ningen body. but, for all we know, certain cyborgs in the showa era might not have been built the same. like Super 1.

With Riderman and Super 1 they would probably have less robotics due to riderman's arm and Super 1 being made more a more ethical and significantly less evil group than shocker. According to what I roughly know Stronger has a lot of more robotics in the implications you never really see him without a sleeveless shirt implying his arms are fully robotic.

oh, the cyborg riders are pretty much (for the most part) human in skin only.
it's where the idea of "losing what makes you human, but not your humanity" of certain rider final forms comes from.
