An old Celtic Frost song, Dawn of Meggido, came on shuffle for me earlier, and I had not realised that the name of the old town of Meggido gives us the Koine Greek Armaggedon of the Christian fever dream depicted in the Apocalypse of St John.
I'm sure that there is absolutely no connexion between this Meggido and the race seen in Saber, but it would be pretty neat if the later's naming was a reference to former. |
Given they are also after ending the world, I'd say the name was very much a reference.

I don't really know, but if that's the reason, it could probably still happen. |

Rider tends to do this; have a naming basis that doesn't really get brought up in the show

https://i.imgur.com/0NLXheO.png The little silver logo on the back of all the Ride Books, on all the swords that read them, and also on the Swordriver trio's head blades. It's a neat looking symbol, but while it didn't take much effort for me to figure out it's the tip of a sword (or a pen; who knows), I didn't figure out until very recently the design on the inside is that of a book being opened, with the left edge being the book's spine, the big shape being the cover, and the other lines representing pages. Kind of embarrassing to not notice for this long when I love Saber this much, but I don't know; it's just such a stylish abstract design I never really thought about it too hard I guess. |

Also fish! A friend pointed this out to me: Touma is spamming elemental dragon cause he’s keeping his promise to the Dragon in the Primitive Dragon book! I hope that elemental still gets used after the final form debuts. |
Speaking of Kamen Rider Saber's blades, has anyone else noticed how Saber's sword on his helmet becomes discolored in Elemental Primitive Dragon? Don't know if that's supposed to reflect Elemental Dragon's power or something but just something noteworthy.

Admittedly, I'm getting pretty much exactly what I want in a few days, so it's extra hard to be genuinely upset now. (Also, probably not the first person to have this idea, but I'm just going to drop a mention here that I really want to see a Saber form called Almighty Dragon. It'd also be nice to see the book motif being pushed harder or something for the final form too, but with all these (adjective) Dragons already around, it'd be a shame if they don't take advantage of that perfect opportunity at some point.)

So you see Kiva Dogga Form's upper chest? I just noticed that those are fists. To be more specific, they're fists bumping against each other. That's AWESOME.

I now appreciate Dogga Form more now because of this revelation.

So earlier today I realized that the Rampage Gatling Key is based on a rifle bolt. Don't know if this has been pointed out elsewhere but there it is.

I could never figure out why Build's OST sounded SO fucking familiar to me. All I knew was that I loved it. It turns out it was made by Kenji Kawai, who made the entirety of Gundam 00's OST. Gundam 00 is something beloved from my teenagerhood. I should've known.
|
He's a VERY recognisable composer, right? He also done Ultraman Geed's OST, and I found that to have very similar beats to Build's

So Tori Matsuzaka got married this year to Erika Toda this year.
*pause* Huh. So Shinken Red got married to Misa from Death Note. |
Gokai Yellow and Basco is in Ultraman Trigger... and Gokai Yellow is an alien Metron.

The next time we got a team with a red dragon ranger and a pink phoenix ranger after Dairanger was Goseiger. Come to think of it...
Gosei Sentai Dairanger > Gosei Sentai Dairanger > Goseiger Thoughts? |

Re-watching the recap episodes of Zero-One and I’ve noticed that Aruto refers to Fukkinhoukai Taro as “the second most successful comedian of all time”.
Okay, it’s not that significant, but it’s so hilariously petty I felt it worth sharing. |
The Ore Eyecon's eye colour is the same colour as Takeru's eyes! It's so obvious in retrospect but I didn't notice until I had the toy in hand now, and god I love it

Oh wow, that's an amazing detail!
I wonder whether they waited until the actor was cast to decide the eyecon's color, or picked the color first and looked for an actor to match? Or maybe it was just a lucky coincidence |
Just realized the voice of Shovellow was also Kaneda in AKIRA.

He has brown eyes and the iris of the eyecon is gray |
Super Zenkaiser is basically Kaito doing Gohryujin/Dragon Caesar cosplay.

I realized today that Kamen Rider Solomon totally stole Kamen Rider Bravo King Durian Arms' cape.
https://i.imgur.com/AX8ayWv.jpg |
I'd bet money that they only had the one King Bravo costume, too
|
I mean given that it's probably never going to show up again, yeah they probably only had the one and ripped the cape from it.
But yep, Kamen Rider Solomon, not a single new piece on that suit. |
Yet Solomon wears it better :D
|
Might as well have called him Kamen Rider Plagiarism XD
|
It only took me till reading a tweet now to realize but...
I finally figured out why the US were getting the Youtube Gridman Sub uploads at the start before it suddenly stopping and being blocked off for us. And that's because of the Gridman Blu-Ray coming soon. So I guess once they started production or were far enough in that Tsuburaya decided "Oh okay, let's cut off America then since they'll be getting it soon". |

So I just realized that both Saber and Zero-One's logos are done in the same style as the Showa Rider Logos

So, the Revice logo is obviously based on Revi's face, you can see the big upward-pointing eyes and the jagged toothy mouth. But what are those dark patches inside the mouth?
(couldn't get the image to work for some reason) It just hit me that those are Vice's eyes peeking out from inside the dinosaur's mouth! |

Now that we got the poster for Revice, I noticed how the dinosaurs on their chests face different directions. Then I looked at the Revice Driver and it hit me: Revice's dinosaur emblem on his chest is the 'stamp' (notice how his dinosaur is a little protruded from his chest like a stamp) while Vice's dinosaur is the imprint/stamped on emblem (notice how his left breast kind of looks like a stamp pad or similar). |
