ZenkaiOh was relatively cleverly-designed for recent Sentai mecha combinations, so I'm curious as to whether they'll do something similarly interesting to combine TwokaiOh with the others. I'm wondering if maybe it becomes a giant cannon or something when combined with a single other mecha. |

So I was right to think those zigzag shapes on Twokaiser's shoulders looked like crocodile jaws!
But why does it have those motorcycle wheel wing things? Is this going to be another mecha-sied bike like DekaBike or Tategami Lioh?

I'm wondering if the reasoning behind a crocodile mecha is a homage to sixths strangely having crocodile or crocodile-esque mechas a lot of the time -- Gaosilver, Zyuoh the World, Ryusoulgold. Gokai Silver's mech definitely seemed to be built around referencing how multiple sixths had T-rexes or dinos in general

So I love the way how things are double-highlighted and the head designs form a dichotomy of sorts. For starters, the kanji on TwoKaioh Cuttaner is unlike Shinkenoh's fire 火 it is 炎 which means flame and is 火 stacked vertically, while TwoKaioh Rikki has a star inside a star.
And now the heads, let's talk about the heads. Cuttaner's head design is very feline(a lion design that is a nod to Shishi Origami) while Rikki is canine(in this case Anubis from Egyptian mythology judging by the head shape). Considering Dash Leon had pretty much a lion's head because it was a sphinx I expected a lion's head as well but I guess they wanted to form a dichotomy of cats and dogs essentially to distinguish each other. And now the weapons. Cuttaner's is as expected a sword, but I love how they gave a minigun to Rikki, cause that is clearly a nod to Buster Ohranger Robo and Red Puncher. Oh, and like I said before it is X Train microwaved together with Kishiryu Neptune pretty much. The crocodile head I think could have been done better but oh well.

Oh yeah, another thing Shinkenger and Ohranger share in common; Masashi Gohda. He was Yuji Mita/Oh Blue in Ohranger and Retsudou Shiba aka the first lord of the Shiba Clan in the Shinkenger Summer movie. If they ever get him for a flashback scene for Zox where he was Zox's mentor or father figure that would complete the circle.

Gotta say, really loving the mechs this season, especially the gimmicks. TwoKaiser is definitely going to be an interesting character.
Holy Megazord! You're right! |
