Wake up, we've got magazine scans!
Nice to know that both halves dont have a set side, you can swap them as you please (Boost top being in that top left corner in the 4th image) I'd image they have different unique properties depending on where they're placed. (I'd imagine the finisher we saw is only possible with Boost on bottom half! Maybe there's a different one for Magnum on bottom....?)

Sort of random but I was thinking about this today, we were talking couple weeks ago or so about if Geats would be changed at all because of the assassination of Shinzo Abe... But it occurred to me that it's pretty unlikely they did make any major changes considering they slapped a gun on the key visual poster for the show, and seem to be hyping up the characters skills with a gun.... which feels like something they would not have done if they wanted to tiptoe around a shocking assassination done with a homemade gun??
Like it might have been too late to make Geats less gun themed overall, but I feel like they would have not included a rifle in the poster if they were worried about reminding people of the assassination? Like maybe something changed but to me this signals that they probably decided it wasn't worth making changes plus as I SAID A year ago during the controversy surrounding Vice's actor Social Justice issues aren't as big of a deal in Japanesse media compared to American media |

I think so long as Geats doesn't have a plotline that is literally "so and so wants to shoot the prime minister" then they should be fine?
Like, I'm bringing that up because I seem to recall an anime that basically had to skip (And likely can) their 2nd episode because of what happened. With the episode description for it having what I put in quotes as like part of it's premise. |

I'm not really saying it's a big deal that the gun is there, it just signals to me Toei isn't hyper analyzing the show and making massive changes to minor things Quote:
Recently during Zenkaiger's filming Gege's actor stepped down from various roles after he was revealed to be in an affair, that seems to have stained his career quite badly... though he's still working today, I feel like he's unlikely to get roles in kids media for a while at least... And while it's a bit different to Vice and Gege since a specific crime was committed, Yutaka Kobayashi (Kamen Rider Baron) will likely not be doing much for a while (if ever again), because he stole a handful of makeup items from a pharmacy. And tbh, I think this is a good example of this issue, because if a semi-popular American actor/singer stole $90 worth of cosmetics, it would have ran in TMZ for a bit, been trending on twitter for maybe 6 hours, and then everyone would forget and not care. In America stealing some cosmetics would not be career ruining, but in Japan it is. (Think about people like Justin Bieber for example, he's done crimes, he's still very popular) So I still think it would be more fair to say something like "Japan does have things a person can do that will end their career because of a loss of public support, those things are just sometimes different than in other parts of the world. And parts of the world have things a person can do that will end their career because of a loss of public support, but those things may not be treated that way in Japan. But also it is worth keeping in mind that even in cultures that appear uncaring about an issue there are still more than likely individuals who do care about that issue." I'm not going to talk about this particular subject more if i can avoid it, because I don't want to make it a "whole thing", but I think a sweeping statement that amounts to "Japan doesn't care about what actors do, or if media reflects/affects real life" is generally kind of a goofy thing to say Feel free to check out websites like unseenjapan if you want to see that in Japan there are people who do care about "Social Justice" topics in the country, it's not reasonable to assume something isn't cared about just because you haven't seen it yourself Last edited by TheJaz; 07-26-2022 at 10:13 PM.. |

Huh. I'm assuming that given the heavy focus so far of promo material on the "Magnum Boost" form that the "Entry" form is essentially his Platform/Growing Form/Level 1. I'm guessing "Magnum Boost" will be considered the base form.

Like I said in my post "it might have been too late to make Geats less gun themed overall, but I feel like they would have not included a rifle in the poster", so yeah I agree they couldn't remove it from what the filmed but they def could have removed it from being super prominent on a poster
I'm not really saying it's a big deal that the gun is there, it just signals to me Toei isn't hyper analyzing the show and making massive changes to minor things I just don't think the Abe assassination impacts kids' lives enough for Toei to make any significant changes to the show. This isn't like the tsunami or even the subway gas attacks in the 90s -- those things effected everyone. I doubt the murder of a former politician is going to enter a child's consciousness in any meaningful way. Maybe if it was the current Prime Minister, but even then... I could be wrong, but that's my suspicion. |

I'd be surprised if KR's core audience of 5 year-olds has any idea who or what a former Prime Minister is.

I only brought it up again initially because I remember other people had been concerned this would mess with the tone a couple weeks back and this seemed like a sign it hadn't changed the tone, at the time my opinion was also "kids won't care so I doubt it will affect anything, but who knows" I just think gun on poster is proof toei doesn't think it's an issue worth affecting the show in any major way Last edited by TheJaz; 07-26-2022 at 08:21 PM.. |

You know, I realized that the way Geats' forms work actually reminds me a lot of how OOO's forms are structured, just that the head is permanently the same and the arms and legs can swap around like the Kangaroo Medal.
