Uh, guys? It's Rabbit Dragon Snake form. The next three animals in the Chinese zodiac. 2011 is the year of the rabbit, 2012 is the year of the dragon, 2013 is the year of the snake. Yes, the middle and bottom are clearly derived from Ryuki and Ohja, but that's only part of the point.

The "lord and vassals" thing wouldn't go over well with American parents. Red's still the leader, but they're gonna have more teamwork and equality than Shinken.

can't wait to hear they spell their foreign names with engrish =) let's see, Caputa Mavalosu?

Wikipedia gives the following as the romanji for their names:

Kyaputen Māberasu
Jō Gibuken
Don Dokkoiyā
Ruka Mirufi
Aim do Famīyu

I dont think its a fad really, it is something that is here for the long haul, I remember people saying Blu-Ray was just a fad and that is here for the long haul. the 3D world will keep evolving till it reaches the stage of not requiring glasses for 3D, and this is probably only a few years off sin...

Minor OT, but I'd like to see how the belt responds to incorrect insertion. Apparently the toy just reads them as different medals, since that's how belt "hacking" is done. Maybe a dark OOO would use a different combination of the 3 medal groups Eiji uses with a fake belt. Insect, Cat, Bi...

I think 3D is a fad, honestly. Give it a few years and everybody will be like "Oh yeah, 3D, that was fun" and move on with their lives.

Someone on the Livejournal pointed out that Marine's transformation this episode was slightly different from the old one. Here's a comparison video.

Minor OT, but I'd like to see how the belt responds to incorrect insertion. Apparently the toy just reads them as different medals, since that's how belt "hacking" is done. Putting different medals in different slots just results in the scanner reading the medals in that order. If they ma...

Three UNIQUE core medals from the same Greeed. Hence, even though we've currently seen 3 total of Ankh's medals, we've seen two Hawk and one Peacock, he couldn't make a Combo out of it. So while he had 4 of Mezool's medals, he had 2 sets of 2. And the law of the show says they'll get used eventually.

rider with the most depressing storyline- 555 I'd challenge that. Takumi was an Orphenoch in a world that ostracized and hated them and he knew he would eventually die. But Ryoutarou from Den-O made himself and his beloved older sister forget huge chunks of their past, including Airi's fiance and u...

That's sort of what I figured. Do you think we'll see less of that, as in people using their language's phrasing of a given borrow word, especially English ones, as time moves forward? Here's my two cents: if the Japanese start learning to pronounce English in English phenomes instead of Japanese p...

No, I am not going to turn this into an argument. I was just trying to help answer the guy's question and I perceived that your answer was hard to understand so I clarified. If that's being a douche, sue me.

Take, that last bit was pure gibberish. Anyway, the reason he pronounced it with the Japanese phenomes is because, while technically incorrect from an English standpoint, the character of Tendou may not be able to speak English, or he's simply pronouncing it the typical Japanese way when he's speaki...

I thiiiiiiink you can get individual Core and/or cell medals from certain toy dispensers, but I'm not sure if they're electronic.

Den-O is like the defining slapstick KR series.
