Before I thought it was just a boring fancy gold coat, but this is the exact kind of shit I love about Ghost designs.

What poem is that?
I thought the theme was just mixing Japan's great unifiers (which alone made it my favourite Ghost form), didn't realise there was more to it than just that.

As I recall, it's a poem about how they motivated a cuckoo bird to sing:

Quote:

Nobunaga, Hideyoshi and Tokugawa were watching a cuckoo bird waiting for it to sing, but the bird wouldn't sing. Nobunaga says "Little bird, if you don't sing I will kill you". Hideyoshi says "Little bird, if you don't sing, I'll make you sing". Then Tokugawa Ieyasu says to the bird "Little bird, if you don't sing I will wait for you to sing".

Hiiro's actor actually sounds a lot different when he isn't playing Hiiro

That's cool, but I'm still not sure how the form directly references it

The decorations on the coat are the birds:



Nobunaga's is dead.



Hideyoshi's is singing.



Ieyasu is still waiting for his.

Oh my god that is incredible. Thanks!

The suit just got even better.

All the Kamen Rider Blade names reference the Latin versions of their playing card suits.

Shinnosuke's Henshin pose is him making an R with his arms.

One form/Rider that I'm just now noticing is notably absent from Ex-Aid given its themes, yet it's such an obvious choice....




where the hell is the Medical Gamer form based off of medical video games? I mean, granted, it's a pretty obscure genre of video games but Trauma Center was a thing...

Lucky Clover are a Hakaider Squad homage.

Kinda blew my mind when I found out

Maybe we will see it in the next Movie War.
