Ishinomori was a big fan of this idea of reluctant fighting. It's not hard to see that in his authored works, so the connection does add up. |
Random tangent, but there are also the surgical scar marks that Hongo had in the manga version of Kamen Rider which was later referenced in W every time when Shotaro transforms into Double they appear around his eyes. Not the exact design per se, but it is a nod to that.

And Vulcan! Pretty sure there’s a couple more examples.

I don't know why it took me so long to realize this, but the red/green/yellow kiramagers have dashed lines across their chests to represent road marks, and blue/pink have the single line to represent contrails.

On a side note, just remembered Kazuya Nakai is probably one of the few voice actors who is a rider and a ranger having played the role of Eiki and Garu/Ohkami Blue. |
Yuta Mochizuki is another, being both Tyrannoranger and Kamen Rider J.

If we factor Dragon Knight into the mix Hiroshi Kamiya and Tatsuhisa Suzuki is also part of that "voice actor who is a rider and ranger that is not a replacement because the original actor could not make it" club since Kamiya was Commander Dumplings/Ryu Commander in Kyuranger as well as Chris in the DK Japanese dub and Suzuki was Green Hippo/Domyoji in that Go-Busters V-Cinema flick as well as Kit and Adam in the DK Japanese dub. Other than Mochizuki, Atsushi Harada and Katsuhiro Suzuki is part of the "ranger n rider club" come to think of it. Harada was Mihara/Delta and Sho/Go Green, Suzuki was Hiromu/Red Buster and Mondo/Quiz in Zi-O. And of course we cannot forget Miyauchi, the original and first to be a ranger and a rider. |
The Ryuki in Zi-O’s promotional poster is wearing the DecaDriver instead of his V-Buckle.

Basically there was a discussion with Shirakura on Twitter as to what do Toei designate forms as. Someone asked what Trinity was supposed to be, and Shirakura freaked out, saying that we weren't supposed to know about Trinity. Due to the vague wording of the question, we don't know if they were talking about Agito Trinity or Zi-O Trinity. A bunch of people tried to defuse the situation by trying to say that they were talking about Agito Trinity... ...until some moron posted a picture of Zi-O Trinity straight from the toy scans. And that is why we no longer have toy scan leaks. |
I only realized today that in addition to the dragon head on his shoulder, Saber has a sculpted lower jaw on his chest, and his right arm is colored the way it is and has sculpted flames on it because well, it's literally supposed to be a breath of fire coming out of a dragon's maw.

"Why isn't my suit this fancy?" He's wrong of course because he’s the best, but Shinji really would be like that. |
Pay no attention to Shinj. He's just final venting.

I just now realized that the reason Calibur doesn't use a Swordriver, even though his sword is closer to the Seiken's design than to Buster and Kenzan's weapon-drivers, is because its serrated blade wouldn't fit in the Swordriver's slot.
|
Not to mention that the serrated blade would utterly damage a DX Swordriver even if it was designed to accomodate Calibur's sword. I'm quite suspicious as to the long term effects of pushing in and pulling out the regular sword into the DX Seiken Swordriver, let alone Calibur's.

So this caught my attention just now.
Rewatching Gaim again for like the 50th time (man I love this show) and I noticed that (I'll put spoilers for newcomers so that I don't ruin this absolute masterpiece for them) DJ Sagara aka Helheim says that the Forbidden Fruit must be handed according to that race's myths. In this case the Woman of the Beginning has to hand it to the Man of the Beginning. While the Forbidden Fruit is an obvious nod to the Bible's forbidden fruit, why on Earth does it have to be a woman who hands it to a man? Seems kind of sexist right? And then I realised that the Woman represents Eve (Mai), who gives the fruit to Adam (Kouta). As a result, both gain something, in Gaim's case power while in the Bible it was the knowledge of evil and shame. To put the cherry on top (pun intended), Kouta and Mai move to a new planet, a nice allusion to the banishment from the Garden of Eden. Granted in Gaim's case they did so willingly rather than being thrown out of Eden. This does make me wonder though how the Forbidden Fruit would be handed down by other races. Granted, the Femushinmu also had a Woman of the Beginning who handed it down to a Man of Beginning, but it's entirely possible they had a similar creation story. While this kind of irks my religious side due to the fact that the show sort of presents this whole allusion as hopeful while the real story is not (well, there was a bit of hope in that story), I only have one thing to say from this grand realisation: Urobutchi, you magnificent madlad. |
It's also interesting that they went with specifically the Biblical story of Adam and Eve. I guess it makes sense since Christianity is one of the biggest religions on Earth today (maybe even the biggest, I don't know), but it makes me wonder how the story would've been different if they'd followed Greek or Norse mythology, which also had sacred golden apples, or other legends of magic fruit (IIRC, one of the 1,001 Nights stories involved an apple that could cure any illness, and there's probably others I don't know about).

............... I just found out Jabel from Kamen Rider Ghost was GekiChopper.

The actor who portrayed Blue Beet has a twin brother who is also a toku actor. He shows up in B-Fighter and I for sure thought it was just clever camera work.

So, I've been wrapping my head around why Zero-Two has, for me, the weirdest transformation sound in all of the belts in Zero-One. But then I remembered the little draft notes for Zero-Two's name (Heh, Super Zero-One) and the one who made it.
Hiden Aruto. He conceptualized the belt himself, not Ark, Zea, Soreo, or Korenosuke. Not to be harsh, but he's clearly not skilled in desigining something. That's why the sounds were Zero-Two Jump/Rise and the over use of two/to in the sounds. It's personalized to how he makes jokes. Terrible, but endearing. Also kind of explains the simplicity of the form's design and power set. Aruto just doesn't have that "sense". He can't design a suit beyond "It's Zero-One but it's stronger, faster, and has all the powers of my previous forms." https://ukiyaseed.weebly.com/uploads...11-52_orig.jpg |
Speaking of Zero-Two, it's quite a clever nod to quantum computing which can use qubits (0s, 1s and simultaneously at ths same time, represented as 2n) as opposed to binary computing (0s and 1s).
I'm not an expert at quantum computing, but still, nice little nod. |

Just realised Captain Serizawa from Ultraman Mebius is also the eponymous character from Masked Rider Shin.
|
Had a thought: would Tsukuyomi beat Geiz Revive and Grand Zi-O? She is said to be stronger than her brother and also has her own rider form.
Both Geiz and Sougo lost to Another Decade, so I wonder how those two would fare against Tsukuyomi. |
