How to get the maximum Zyu for your Ranger
0It's, like, informative. Dude.
It would probably be a good idea to actually show the concept designs this post is talking about: https://imgur.com/a/PrWXb41
I've always wondered if the whole Mai Otome arc with Akane's and Rosalie's GEMs getting shuffled around was some kind of super-obscure deep cut on the screwy production history in MMPR season 2. After all, this is the same super-aware show that's a sequel/alternate retelling of another show where the team of magical girls literally call themselves a Sentai parody. And this is the same show that hired Mika Kikuchi to voice Arika specifically because she played DekaPink the previous year.
The Sentai artbook that revealed all the scrapped design work for the Season 2 Zords was released to the public in 2002 while Hurricanger was airing. Mai Otome was released in 2005. You never know...
That could just be me being weird and overanalytical, though.
