I just realized the non-main Revice riders are a spider, bat, and snake, the classic 3 kaijin motifs.

Spider (E01) and bat (E02) are also the first two motw/kaijin in the original Kamen Rider series.

Been doing some reading up on Ninninger and just found out after years that the cool team logo with the shuriken and the whooshy spinny lines is actually a heavily stylized version of the kanji for "shinobi" (忍). Which is so immensely clever it makes me love the design way more than I already did, but might also make this an objectively terrible emblem for the series, because it's a shinobi that's actually hiding.

So I just found out that the text on the Kamen Rider Saber Eyecatch aren't just the description of the Wonder RideBook's. Most of them are modified to tell a story of the episode. That so amazing.

I'm having a bit of a hard time seeing the kanji in the logo but that's cool.

That's because it's really good at hiding!

It might help to focus less on the actual shapes and more on the number of lines? The swoosh in the upper right and the two lines of the shuriken make the 刃, and the four swooshes going along the bottom, with the one bigger than the rest, are the 心. If you think of the logo in terms of the stroke order it'd be "written" with, like any kanji, the intent becomes super clear. For me, it was one of those things where I didn't believe it at first, but now that I've seen it, I can't unsee it. Really neat design!

Somehow, I not only failed to notice that MegaRed was part of the montage of space/rescue themed heroes at the end of Gavan vs Dekaranger, but I’d convinced myself that SolBraver and Fire from Winspector were there.

Fire at least appeared briefly in Kyuranger VS Space Squad.

Still waiting on that cliffhanger being resolved.

So, today I noticed that the Kudakk's mouths are designed to resemble keyboards. You can even see the enter key and space bar. How did I miss this!?

One of my favorite henchmen in modern sentai!
