I don't know if it's obvious or obscure, but Geats had a pretty neat callback to an action-shot from the first episode during the final form but.

Decided to post this here, cuz it fit so well;

Gotchard's chest is a Steam Train/Liner.



Yes, it took me this long to notice...

His "pecks" are the sides of the Smokebox, the clear orange bit is the furnace you shovel coal into, the cylindrical bit on his sternum is the chimney, and his scarf is the smoke that comes out of it.

I can't believe it took me this long to realize that the Twin breaker is inspired by a drill bit. Or a screwdriver, I dunno, I'm leaning more towards screwdriver because that seems to fit in with the whole tool motif the Sclash driver has.

And while the watch motif specifically is near fully utilized in Zi-O (Only thing I can think of missing is a Sundial), the Rider theming is such massive potential for so much of the rest of the show that we'll never get to see. Another Final Form Riders, Another secondary Riders, Final form armors, the missing Phase 1 Heisei armors. Makes me wish the show ran another year so we could see way more. What we've gotten so far is awesome, but it barely scratches the surface. We've gotten all that in toy form with god knows how many watches, but a majority of that stuff won't appear on screen.

I wish I could compile a definitive list of things that we didn't see in Zi-O that we should have, and maybe more stuff they could have done.

Heh, I'm doing just that with Zi-O (and Build too)

I always assumed it was some clunky goroawase thing I could never crack, but it turns out it was way more simple than that the whole time.

In my adaptation, it will be changed to 11220518 (1-12-20-5-18). His allies will be similar

Judging by the tip I'd say screwdriver.

You could almost say they're... masked riders.

Den-O (and now Geats) too

This has been staring me in the face for 25 years and knowing what I know about the production crew of YST, I am convinced it is not coincidence.

They can't have been that big of fans or they would have used the Ultraseven reference for a character that mattered.

Thing about being second best is nobody ever looks too hard in your direction.
